    Wasn't someone nicked for it in the UK awhile back?

    There are notes...?

    Does anyone apart from me think it'd be a good thing if all us folks here at BC took it upon ourselves to inform the Bay of this and any future dodgyness? I think we have enough people here who can spot the crap being flogged there, and I think it'd being doing the world of bass playing a favour...

    I think the only ones that fit are on the Classic Vibe Precision. Not sure about the CV Jazz though, but I know that other Squier basses usually have their own template which doesn't match Fender's.

    I've never seen the need for strap locks, to be honest...

    Fender Japan used to - maybe they still do (my unlined fretless is a MIJ Jazz). Mighty Mite and Warmoth also make them.

    Have you seen the [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html"]Retrovibe[/url] Rics, Wayne? Not too much over 200 quid. Seems to be well thought of here.

    The only Ric' I ever had a try on way back when was one of these, as far as I can remember. Really good bass!

    Maybe steel flatwounds would temper that a bit, I wonder....
  12. Jerry_B
    Well, if it did it would probably just make the P sound a bit boomier, but in full P/J mode that wouldn't hurt all that much I guess.

    Are ebanol boards not much good then? They look a bit glassy. I wonder whether they can be softened up a bit with fine grit sandpaper or something similar?

    The J pickup helps to thin out the thudiness of the P pickup also, even when you roll off the former. That said, the J pup can sound a bit thin when soloed and played with a plectrum. Luckily the P pickup can be rolled in slightly to fatten it up.

    I think one was for sale on here awhile back...

    I wouldn't worry about not being 'the best bass player'. It's not at all complicated or something that requires amazing amounts of skill - practice is what gets the job done

    Actually, it sounds like my kind of bass. Thanks for the info! I tend to like the ones you have to fight with a bit After having a quick looksee on-line it seems they still retail around the 370 quid mark, which surprises me as I thought they'd cost alot more. All in all, very nice!

    Yamaha BBs

    Jerry_B replied to cocco's topic in Bass Guitars

    I've got a BB414, which I like alot. Very high build quality, fast neck and a distinctive sound. The only thing it lack is the ability to blend the P and J pup as you can with a standard P/J-type bass. You only have the option to switch between each solo pickup or have both.

    Needs a nice white or black pickguard too perhaps...
  20. Jerry_B
    Tasty - although you may want to take down the photo with your wallet in it...

    Is there a reason that the action is high on this type of bass (assuming you've maybe tried to tweak it so it's lower)? And how is it a bit of an ol' dog to play?
  23. Jerry_B
    Yowza! Are they very expensive?

    Other good practice is to play along with tunes that don't feature a fretless, just to get used to treating it in your mind like a normal bass. Playing with a plectrum is also an option, of course.
