BassCat has an excellent Squier P that I heard at one of his gigs, great guitar and I think it cost him all of £140.

To be fair ive found Wunjos and V&R pleasant to deal with. Certainly not cheap, but neither is the BG to be honest... although neither shop are big on MM's, Yammys or Lakkys.

Gotta love that. Are you into Jack Bruce by any chance (noting you have Marshall backline)...?

5 string Ric in Wunjo's 3 years ago, immaculate nick with case. Still regret not just taking the hit on my credit card...

I love your poster man, nice to see a bit of comedy! A bit more professional than the ones I do for our band... see below for details. Yes, I am Kate.

what has brought on this sudden bout of rampant GAS mate?

Like that a lot, nice one buddy. Rics = win

Cool! You do pick up some mega collectible basses - how do you do it??

There is a wonderful quote from Billy Sheehan somewhere about basses with more than 4 strings, and I cant quite remember it...

My Musicmaster is extremely light ('76) and has the old skool big back plate tuners on, so probably not a god comparison to this one! To be fair it looks a nice bass! Wunjo's - agree on the nice comments, top chaps... althuogh I would say the same for V&R. Bought my Les Paul from V&R when there was another one in Wunjo's and V&R moved more on the price (plus the one in Wunjo's had had the tuners swapped round at one point and was in a bit of a state... did have OHSC tho). I remember seeing a 5 string Ricky 4003 in a kinda turquoise colour with the OHSC for £1250... really should have had that!

kev is getting one too - I suggest next bassbash at the studios you HAVE to come with your iPad and a song written, lol!

[quote name='dood' post='1277776' date='Jun 21 2011, 09:21 PM']Ordered one thru work? For work use or for home? - I spent most of the afternoon talking to alovely young lady in the Apple store and tinkering on the iPad - yeah, think I need look no further. Sorry to say that Android as an OS just hasn't caught up yet. iPad it is![/quote] For home use and abuse mate - some kind of highly favourable finance deal they are offering through a third party straight out of your wages before tax, saaaaweeet!

Dan - I just ordered one thru work Arrives in a few weeks! I did put a thread on here about GarageBand...

My rig is waaaay too much for the few gigs i do these days... But i love the tone i get so much ill be buggered if i change it for any other reason than not physically being able to get it to the venue.

...in fact I believe he used a white one for quite a while. Black or white is a winner really

Not at all. What it sounded like would be my interest! Obviously some basses "look" more metal than others, but Steve Harris has got away with using a Precision for quite some time now...

If you after hot female bassists then the Pumpkins had had most of them, four now in fact. lol Difficult to pick a favourite one as they are all hot in different ways but Ginger Reyes is probably the hottest. IMO, of course.

[quote name='4000' post='1266168' date='Jun 12 2011, 03:21 PM']Ditto, but your best place for advice would be Rick Resource.[/quote] oh deffo, absolutely! A mine of useful information. I can safely know I know a lot about how to spot fakers now, and a lot about the new 4003 cos I bought one... if you are in Norwich you are welcome to give that a blast thru the Ampeg stack in my avatar...

Sounds a bit more promising chaps, thanks for the info. Found that Apogee Jam thing and didnt really want to pay another eighty quid to plug a guitar in to it, thats ridiculous (particularly when its had some terrible reviews re: reliability & build quality)

[quote name='Eight' post='1267766' date='Jun 13 2011, 07:24 PM']you can't just plug a 2.5mm adapter in there[/quote] Oh dear. I sense some form of proprietary Apple lead that costs a million pounds and is made like crap.
