I always have gas for stuff but in the end I always seem to be able to make the right purchase choice, most of the time. But when it goes wrong its generally only a cd so its ok I gassed for AGES for a Stingray, I think for about 2 years, and now that I have one it causes me shoulder trouble and I hate the lack of the top g. Sometimes you will never get it right!!!

The fact he's from switzerland...foreigners eh? lol And also he seems to have alot of stuff from Jap, looking at Japanese fenders especially the 75 models just seeing whether they're not 'ghosts' or anything. I couldn't see anything wrong from the feedback either but I'd thought I'd check...

Anybody bought anything off him before? How good was the service etc.?

In my opion what the guy said isn't the big decision about the type of neck you get. With a neck through what you get is a more resonant sound from the notes and a different feel, what I think is for the best. Its also easier I feel to get a cleaner bass sound and through necks seem to be very versatile. However bolt-ons are great and give a really modern sound and are also versatile. One thing to consider though is that through-necks do seem to cost more for something decent due to construction. I had a Scechter Stiletto Elite 4 through-neck and I wish I never sold it now as it was beautiful - bought it new for £500 which presented great value, however finding one in the UK now is harder since soundcontrol (ugh, I know) stopped inporting them.

if theres keyboards, get your queen down goddammit, its so good you know you want to.

I've said before somewhere else, Brand New's Garrett Tierney is awesome too, he has a really 'old' bass sound, vintage Fenders through Ampeg amps. Great basslines again, but he's pretty reserved on stage. For great, aggressive, scuzzy bass try bands like The Bronx, Bullet Treatment, Converge etc.[/quote] I saw Reuben live when they supported Billy Talent and I have to say they're not all that, Jon particuarly didn't impress me, but what the hey. Talking of Billy Talent, there first album when they were titled 'Pezz' is not stop with awesome bass lines, I really recommend to anyone because its a total unknown treasure. As for Hero's Jason Newsted is still clattering around somewhere..... AND Stuart Zender is still out on tour, he's awesome.

all the new ones are pretty good especially compared to the old ones.

thats a great thing for left over parts

klios, thanks for the replies

Do you have to pay import tax or anything like that, or is the price of te product and postage all that you pay?

mate this sucks for you. It always sends shreds of fear through my body when I here something like this, eBay is still so dodgy but its good that it ended all good in the end.

I wouldn't bother with MIA at all to be honest, stick to the CIJ, little harder to get exactly what you want, but well worth the search for an excellent bass and a much lesser price tag.

The thing is, if you want something loud and cheap, its going to be big. If you reckon you can get by with just a 2x10, hows about the Ashdown MAG and 2x10? That shouldnt sound too different to your combo (depending on which Ashdown youve got I guess) and youd have a well-regarded, quality, name-brand rig.[/quote] the ashdown 2 x 10 looks good, however the MAG runs at 307 watts and the cab 200, will that work seeing the amp has a minimum impedance of 4 ohms and the cab runs a 8 ohms?

The General on All Points Bulletin (was) Dispatches last ever performed song, and Chad Urmston forgets the second verse....great way to go out
