Cygnus x-1

Buy a Squier classic vibe or vintage modified, really great basses for the money........preferably same or similar colour to your old one, get rid of said old one and just pretend its the same bass. Don't rush into spending the rest, it could go on lessons an amp, a treat for the other half or even towards a trip away, you'll be in her good books!

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1420036631' post='2645050'] It is now sadly (although I do still quite like the look of the 2t). The current model has 4 knobs - VVT & 4 way selector - with the Jack socket moved to the side so I'd say this is the previous model. [/quote] Yes, previous model, bought new 2012, the newer satin model plays nice, but I love mine.

Heres mine, not sure about Stingray tones, but the Jazz AND Precision tones are wonderfull. Mine sounds like a Turbo Precision with both pickups on.

Sunburst Jazzes, lovely!

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1384713002' post='2279838'] and I bet the rest of the band never even noticed you had a new bass [/quote] I have set up a few different precisions for friends over the past year or so, I have always used them at band practice once (with there permission) before I gave them back. There was a black one, white one, cream one, natural one, sonic blue one, three different sunbursts and also used my black and fiesta red ones AND none of the band except one member ever noticed anything different!

Here's one for ya... [attachment=147269:mats suzuki mp jazz bmx 012.jpg]

BassDoc tort: [attachment=147268:mats suzuki mp jazz bmx 012.jpg] ....I think it looks rather nice

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1381507088' post='2240082'] Saw him at Port Vale 1981. One of the greats. Love his use of harmony. Canadian Rock, err, rocks! [/quote] ....Me too. love his music

Yeah, BTW forgot to say, IMO the Vintage Stingray copies sound nothing like a MM.

Hi, I had one about 5 years ago, pretty good I thought, especially for the price I paid (£125 S/H). In fact as a 4 string player, I often regret selling it, as it was very well built & IMO a nice looking bass, as I remember the 'B' was OK. Would be a good used buy. Isn't there a bargain Squier 5er now?

I think early VM's used a different shape control plate but later ones use standard. If you look on the 'bay some sellers provide a scale drawing, I would just check it against the VM. I think the none standard early ones will be harder to get http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quality-Jazz-bass-guitar-control-plate-blank-in-chrome-black-or-gold-/370563802121?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&var=&hash=item564752e409 Heres an ad with a drawing, I think the critical part with the VM is the angle of the part that butts up to the scratchplate, good luck.

Anybody know anything about this model, how easy they are to get S/H. what they cost etc? cheers

[quote name='tb1973' timestamp='1375427154' post='2160988'] Yeah - there's a noticeable difference in the sound when Guy played the P bass, more true to the original material rather than the funky / slap tones of DSOT. My favourite era was from '73-80. I love Waters' lyrics and Gilmours playing from that period. [i][b]I'd say Animals is my favourite album, probably of any artist.[/b][/i] [/quote] so would I, absolutely love it

yes it's a Matt Freeman, same spec as a CV though

Heres my 2 Cv's [attachment=140290:squier modern pl icon 004.jpg]

As the tittle says I need a Steinberger headless type bass for using in an 80's type band. I don't know much about these bases except I thought they were cool back then. I think Hohner make them?, what are the options for a fairly good sounding bass upto £350 - £400. Must be cricket bat type and preferably black. Cheers.

I really like mine! [attachment=139476:mats suzuki mp jazz bmx 012.jpg]

[attachment=132953:mats suzuki mp jazz bmx 012.jpg] Heres my Bass Doc guard, i'm very happy with it!

And now with a 'Bass Doc' torty guard on, thanks Howard:) [attachment=132009:mats suzuki mp jazz bmx 012.jpg]

I bought a P bass wiring kit off John, like everyone else who has bought one, I am very happy with it, he's great with advice, fast turnarround, PERFECT. Thanks John!
