jaybass 70

Hi Dingus, thanks for your very in depth reply, didnt know about the chunky neck , thought they would have the same neck profile more or less, I suppose a trip down to Bass direct is on the cards to try it out [size=4] if I dont want the yamaha I'm sure Mark will have something in his fine bass emporium to tempt me , loving the price on the 2024 though, he has a black 2024 for the same price too,, decisions decisions!![/size]

hi, I've been relatively gas free since acquiring a 1979 BB1200 off bobby K on this very fine forum [size=4] [/size] [size=4]until I seen this [/size][size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size] BB2024 £1650.00 from Bass Direct, good price for a quality instrument that retails for £2350.00 I'm wondering if there is a massive jump in quality and sound compared to the BB1200 I already love and own? I'm coming into some cash soon and I'm gonna treat myself to another bass to add to the herd , short of diving in the car and doing a 5 hour round trip has anyone tried these basses out compared to the very good japanese BB1200 ? thanks in Advance guys and dolls [size=4] [/size]

It rattled about in transit vans, on trailers, was manhandled by countless careless musicians and always sounded sweet. And loud. Teamed with my Ibanez 850 Roadstar, my 80's/90's rig was lovely. I really should have stopped there... [/quote] Me too , big fan of the tnt 150 , still got it in me shed along with a kb 300 ,both still work , great sound. had a trace elliot gp11 15 combo which kept blowing speakers !! Always preferred the sound of the peavey though.

[quote name='Pete1967' timestamp='1378889942' post='2205974'] I'm assuming that the top will have a finish on it of some sort - probably polyurethane, in which case wood glue isn't going to be your friend. PVA/Aliphatic and derivatives need open pores and pressure to do the job. You could superglue it or use epoxy but that's utterly permanent and will destroy the finish if it pings off of you want to remove it. Personally I'd use a good double sided tape. A 3M or Tesa film backed tape that has pressure sensitive adhesive. It'll stick like sh*t and it should allow you to carefully remove the rest at a later date and clean the tape off with a bit of white spirit (won't affect a fully cured polyurethane or polyester finish) HTH [/quote] hi , good shout on the tesa tape, I'm also looking to fix a thumbrests to my Yamaha BB1200 and Ibanez ATK but dont want to drill, do you think this will do the job [url="http://www.tesa.co.uk/industry/products/tesa_4970.html"]http://www.tesa.co.uk/industry/products/tesa_4970.html[/url] , £19 a roll though I,ve already tried normal double sided tape and it only lasted half a gig.[size=4] [/size]

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1381075537' post='2234050'] If it's in good order, with its original case, easily worth £400. For the money you're not going to find a better "precision" bass. Period. [/quote] Agreed ^ like he said

go on treat yourself , you know your worth it [size=4] [/size]

I have a 79' BB1200 , great bass , superb construction and Sound, its the one I would rescue from the fire. For the price of these Basses you cant go wrong

Ive got an audition with these guys next week i've been practicing my massage therapy all weekend seriously, ,,, i'll let you know how i get on, they have a good set and he sounds like a decent bloke on the phone.

bought steves Ibanez ATK , great guy, everything as described, love it !! deal with confidence peeps

quite cool , £14.50 delivered, 110cm by 60cm [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Retro-Funky-British-Guitar-Rug-110cm-x-60cm-/190860857609?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Rugs_Runners_Mats&hash=item2c70319109"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2c70319109[/url]

Hold on , sounds a bit better now

He should be playing a musicman ! The jazz isn't cutting it for me , also the mix isn't great I can't extract any decent bass sound from my system, I love chic but the drummer is wrecking it for me , he's playing too much , great to see Nile doing his thing though

Another vote for the ibanez atk here , great bass for the money
