A lot of big names use Schaller tuners, EB, Gibson etc, hipshot ultralites are worth a look. Can't go wrong with nordy.

I had one of these, I'd recommend playing before you buy, I didn't like the neck at all.

If you're thinking P and want something a little different might I suggest a Lakland? I've had my skyline bob Glaub for 3 weeks now and it's completely left my other basses in the cupboard. I've always liked P's but every Fender I've played or owned (MIM 50s, CIJ 51, CIJ 70, US 78, US 2012) has had something missing. The lakland has everything in spades. The tone knob has a far wider spectrum too.

I'm sure i remember these being US made. I know this is Korean, I'm confused. Was there ever a similar US bass?

I had 11, now I have 4 great ones. Still want more though :/

As a gibson lover I think the SG bass is a bit of a one trick pony, the pickups in it are particularly weak too. I'd buy the mustang purely becuase it will be more versatile and more fun? Also if you get bored with it you can sell it to me

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1363896343' post='2019183'] Yeah. I think a lot of us a devoted Rotosound round geezers. I fancy I'll have a dabble with flats though. [/quote] Exactly what happened to me.

My TIs came. I'm empressed so far. In hindsight I probably didn't need xls for the lakland and they seem fine strung through result!

Yeah it looks like. Mine has the fralin pickup and the neck is gorgeous so I won't be upgrading I don't think I can't find a single fault.

I had a heavy old 78 that was pretty cool. Neck was lovely and the tone was killer.

I think it will be okay, the bass can do either through or over. Depending on how it went I was thinking of putting some on my T-40, which only does through body :/.

Black basses are super cool. I'm starting to lean towards sunbursts recently though. Can't go wrong with either really, black has to have a maple board though.

As the title says, I've ordered myself some Thomastik Jazz flats after reading this thread http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f16/confessions-flatwound-convert-519803/ I hope I get on with them, I ordered x-long as they're going on my string-thru lakland, also hoping that's right :/. I'm a long time Rotosound Swingbass player so it's a massive leap into the unknown for me. I'll let you know how I get on. Nervous excitement is building!!

Jealous :/ what's it like sound wise? Stand up to a P-bass? How's the string tension?

Serial numbers is it i think, apart from finish they'll look similar, the AVs come with ashtrays, both are nitro finished. Not sure if colours are different?

They are Mexican. Always have been as far as I know.

How does it handle? Want!

I had a bongo 4 HH briefly, it was a great bass to play, action was good, sat nicely on a strap, was pretty lightweight, neck was amazing but I just couldn't get on with the preamp. I say the same thing about most active basses though.
