Yes welcome I rigged up my Ampeg Classic & 4x10HLF today for 1st time, well I think you already said it :0)

Hi Dave I apologise in advance for my bias I have bought & sold approximately a dozen Music Man Stingray basses over the years, after rueing the day I sold my 1st one of 25 years! The reason they were not kept is that they did not have the same tone as the Pre-CBS models. I bought another '79 Pre-CBS and I can tell that I smile like a "cheshire cat" when I play it. IMHO - you should check one out before you decide and yes they will find them @ Vintage Prices. There was one up for sale on ebay earlier for £1795.00 or Best Offer, which has been there for a while.

Maybe Jaco, Marcus Miller, Alphonso Johnson, Victor Wooten, Percy Jones got it wrong?

I had one, fantastic array of tones and of course well made; alas a multistring player these days

The advice you seek is very dependant on your budget. Here's a few..... F bass AC5/6 Ken Smith BSR Fodera Beez Elite or Monarch Music Man Stingray Piezo Modulus Quantaum Fender 'Jaco' Fretless Wal Fretless Happy hunting

Hi Kev I got started with 'Building Walking Bass Lines' which is accompanied by a CD, then endlessly practicing walking the Blues Scales & Pentatonic notes of Major & Minor sacles. You will develop your movement around the neck and hear the next chord change, but be patient

[quote name='Clarky' post='979067' date='Oct 6 2010, 07:39 AM']Looks like I might be selling my Fender Jazz to a Finnish BC'er. By complete coincidence I will be flying to Helsinki on business next week so there is the option that I bring the bass with me and meet the BC'er concerned to hand over. Question is: if I pack the bass the same way I would for a normal Interparcel/ParcelFiorce delivery is this safe? It comes in an old-style (CS tolex, orange lining) Fender hard case and I can pack in a bass-sized cardboard box. Does something going in the hold from a passenger get treated the same as if it was part of a (say) UPS delivery? I am just concerned that if I carry it with me, the bass will emerge in Helsinki airport in pieces as the box has taken a beating[/quote] Hi Clarky I have dealt with different bass players around the world buying & trading, I would not be too concerned as long as you package the bass adequately.

Hello If you want your F sharp to be audible you will need to make sure you have a good pre-amp on your bass and strings are available @ www.sitstrings.com Cheers

Me too, after several hours offline.

My only experience is Fodera Beez Elite, F Bass AC6, Ken Smith BSR6EF, Modulus Quantum 6, Wal, Ken Smith BSR 6TNE, all are have indidvidual tones; the F Bass AC5/6 has more to dial into. A lot rests on your own taste

If you know some-one that owns either a Aguilar DB750 or DB751, check it out. DB750 noisey fan until you turn up the volume and the DB751 nice & quiet. Delivery of tone & headroom outstanding. Good luck

Very nice, looking out for NYC Jazz 5 myself

These have a lot of tones to dial in to.
