I reckon at best you could get a Squier Frank Bello for that money, no way a pukka Fender & anything involving Western Union or any other method which involves giving a complete stranger my bank details would put me off 100%. Best of luck, 'cos the Frank Bello is a tremendous bass Cheers, John

[quote name='dood' post='809237' date='Apr 17 2010, 10:47 AM']Hey John! Fantastic, looking forward to seeing ths one take shape. If you had the choice, would you go for a Maple fretboard or Rosewood? - I've always liked that 'Hank Marvin' look. Candy Apple + Maple![/quote] Sorry to disappoint mate - but I'm never going to be a skinny dark haired glasses wearing whammy w*nking lookalikey - - Oh! I see what you mean TBH I'm not fussy, I have a neck on it's way from another BC'r, which is fretted & rosewood but most important = it's cheap! I love the one piece maple of my '51P, I love the Bocote on my Skjold, Rosewood varies so much but the chances are on a cheap neck it ain't gonna be great. I shall do my usual toothbrush with Lemon oil & see how it comes up. Now where's that postman? More bits required! Cheers Dood, John

My original idea was to put together a cheap fretless, just for fun, I started in about 1965 with a home made bass which at that time I couldn’t afford or get the fretwire for, so just played it without! 1 & 2, The body P style make unknown but seems a decent bit of wood. Stripped & cleaned, polished with Carnauba & copper screening added 3 & 4, Slightly unusual 6 bolt neck plate & screws came with. The hardware, all good enough, especially the bridge, cheap pups & electricals, pots cleaned with servisol + all wiring/soldering tidied up. 5, Earth wire under bridge. 6, Screening under pups + earth wire soldered to copper. 7, Copper under the pots & jack socket all linked with the brown wire. 8, All back together & electrics tested, waiting for a neck. Edit: Pictures 2,3&5 removed to make space for finished job.

Steve Okay - looks like I'll struggle to find such a thing. How about: 4string Passive Wide P-neck J pups Basically, a Fender J-bass with a P-neck? Steve[/quote] To answer your original question: Yes such a thing does exist, exactly - Frank Bello Signature bass! Simples - ticks all your boxes without compromise - unless you don't like black?

Frank Bello Bass - if you can find one - suit you sir - Ooh! [url="http://www.fender.com/uk/products/search.php?partno=0130095306#"]Frank Bello Signature[/url]

Great guy to deal with I agreed to buy a case from jay & he held onto it for me until my o/h could meet up & do the deal. Thanks for all that jay, meeting Kaz as arranged & on time, I haven't got my hands on the case yet but I'm told it's just like new exactly as described. It was a pleasure to do business with - sorry I couldn't meet you in person - maybe next time Cheers, John

[quote name='umph' post='802636' date='Apr 11 2010, 02:32 PM']don't see why you'd have any problem with it.[/quote] That's what I thought - it's only the price stopping me It would be good to hear if someone here has tried one? Cheers, John

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='802467' date='Apr 11 2010, 11:48 AM']I also can't hear bugger all bass, however in a small fraction of that song when the rest of the band is observing a very short STFU pause I could hear some kind of P bass with a bit of flanger, but for the rest, the youtube quality of it is bad and doesn't come through clearly.[/quote] Glad it's not just me

[quote name='civictiger' post='802240' date='Apr 11 2010, 12:02 AM']So where do I go? To the best place on Earth. BassChat!! This is one of my favourite new bands.. they are a newly formed Supergroup. Probably not well known yet as they are a pretty underground style, but I really would love to know what Bass Effect anybody would say the bass uses in parts of this song.. Im thinking some sort of OD but im not too sure. Wondering if I can get a really similar sound through my Sansamp Driver.. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eTw57EBe-o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eTw57EBe-o[/url] heres a link.[/quote] Sorry I could only stand 1 minute of that clip & TBH don't think I could hear any bass, or is that the *empty* bit?

[quote name='Dirty Little Bobby 99' post='802190' date='Apr 10 2010, 10:17 PM']Hello! I know there are lots of folks here who know their stuff, so I was wondering if anybody could provide me with any information about my TE 7215 combo. Serial Number: 70468.306.200 Model Number: 7215-7 Does the 200 mean it was made in 2000? Any other interesting bits of information anybody can provide about my amp's place in TE history? I don't know very much about this stuff. Ah, one other question, I'm in the process of selling it (issue of space and money ), is 300 quid a reasonable asking price? Apart from a few scuffs it's in excellent condition and has never needed any repairs. I bought it secondhand myself about four or five years ago but I know the original seller very well and it had never needed any maintenance. Cheers folks![/quote] Send them a email [url="http://www.trace-elliot.co.uk/contacts.php?flag=GB&lan=UK"]Trace Elliot[/url] I found they were really helpful. Cheers, John

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='801530' date='Apr 10 2010, 08:51 AM']Check out this demo of the Line6 Verbzilla on bass. The Octo mode is especially glorious! [url="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=10323439"]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoID=10323439[/url] The EHX Bass Big Muff is an ideal fuzz to start with. Best bang for buck out there. I see you have the Ashdown Little Bastard - it would be awesome if you could post a review or even some recorded clips of what it sounds like cranked! :brow:[/quote] Cheers Dan, the myspace link doesn't seem to work for me? Thanks for the Big Muff recommendation, I'm still liking the look of your DHA I have no idea where to start recording clips from my LB, but trust me - it sounds exactly how an all tube bass amp should, exceedingly good! Seriously exactly what I hoped for, best sounds of all with my Frank Bello = no tone controls on the guitar just straight from the 1/4 lb pups (via volume pots) - absolutely brilliant! As for 'cranking it up' I'm thinking - July 4th, in my garden - bass version of Hendrix's Star spangled banner? (Woodstock '69) The neighbours love me really + I can keep my pies warm on top

[url="http://www.fender.com/uk/products/search.php?partno=0217500000#"]This Looks GREAT![/url] BUT - is it any good for bass?

Cheers Bassnut62, no disappointment - thanks for sharing your opinion. I'm not impressed with the Boss stuff at all from what I've seen & heard so far. I'm loving the cry baby, thinking about a fuzz now + a reverb is still on the wants list - addictive ain't it!

Sold a speaker lead to Paul, spot on communication & payment, great guy to deal with. Cheers, John

[quote name='chrisd24' post='798725' date='Apr 7 2010, 02:20 PM']Hmm seems to make sense then! i have a 12v amp but its mainly for a guitar as it sounds like a chorus of farts with a bass running through it! so is it possible with a different type of inverter then?[/quote] [color="#FF0000"][size=5]chorus of farts[/size][/color] That sounds like the exact fx pedal I'm looking for Maybe - but you can bet your last peanut a 'audio friendly' inverter ain't gonna come cheap
