[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1344453411' post='1764888'] The above, but is it possible that the inside of the gigbag is acrylic fabric and not as smooth as it should be? In that case it would cause some wear, like a very fine sheet of sandpaper, when the bass moves inside the bag. Is the tarnishing localised, or equally evident all over? [/quote] Bridge and control plate mainly on the CV although on his cheap jazz the bridge and control plate and tops of the 3 knobs were I think tarnished. He says he cleans his bass after use, he doesn't play a lot of gigs and is not a 'mover' wouldn't have thought a lot of sweat.

A friend of mine asked me this question today and I had to admit I have no clue to the reason. ..........He bought a used pretty cheap no name Jazz about a year and a half ago, it came with a nice black canvas padded gig bag from the seller. After a few months he noticed the chrome on the bass tarnishing, nothing too serious but losing it's shine all tne same. Anyway about 4 months ago, he traded the no name in for a Squier CV jazz, he kept the gig bag, so the Squier has lived in it since new. Now he's noticed the chrome on the CV is starting to tarnish aswell, again nothing serious but tarnishing. The gig bag is clean inside and out, immaculate condition, doesn't smell or anything, just an ordinary gig bag, I would have no problem using it. My mate asked me if I thought it was just a coincidence or could the gig bag be possibly causing the tarnishing? anybody have any idea? cheers.

A friend of mine had one for a time, might still have it.... haven't seen him for a few months. The last time I played it I was very impressed by the bass, it was the tribute model aswell. Obviously it depends on price of which I have no idea but half an hour searching the net should give you typical new/used prices and reviews. From my experience, id say if you like it and it's a fair price go for it. HTH

I don't know what bass you should buy....but with that buget IMO you should try as many different basses as you can and then...have a good think. There's alot of good stuff in your price bracket. Re second hand, you can get more or less anything with a grand and if you decide you don't like it you will probably recoupe most (if not all) your outlay. You would probably be pretty safe buying S/H on here, ie getting a good one.

Now sold thanks.

A Question I hope someone will be able to answer because I can't find out. Is there a scratchplate available that is a perfect fit for a Squier VM P? .....I want a torty one, I can't imagine the black plate on this bass is unique. Anyone changed theirs? what model did you use, perfect fit, all holes line up? Any help appreciated.

Firstly here's a pair of push on flat top precision knobs, nice crisp knurling but are a little bit tarnished so look well used. They would suit a used condition bass or a reliced bass, but probably wouldn't look too good on a brand new mint bass if you know what I mean. £5 inc postage. Edit: they look black in the pic, but are silver nickel coloured. [attachment=112535:DSCN1304.JPG] Also one set of 13 scratchplate screws, these are also suitable for a relic/ well used instrument as although the chrome is good, they are just starting to form rust in the screw crosses. As there are 13, these would be suitable for precisions, jazz's, strats & telecasters etc. No pic, but i'm sure you can imagine what they look like. £2.50 inc postage. ALSO free with this set is 3 Jazz control plate screws in the same condition as above. Also, one set of 13 new unused fresh chrome scratchplate screws, these would suit precisions, jazz's, strats & telecasters etc. £2.50 inc postage.

As tittle says, this plate is a 1 ply black plate I made to fit the Vintage Icon 'Jaco' jazz bass, comes with screws. As the bass is allready drilled for a plate you can put this on & take it off whatever you choose. £10 inc free postage and comes with screws.

Having just read the excellent Tony Iommi autobiography 'From Heaven To Hell' i've decided I need to have some post Never say Die CD's in my collection. Tony is a great musician IMO. You see I stopped buying them when it came to an end with Ozzy, I had Heaven & Hell on vinyl which is a good record but I want to add to my CD's. Is there anybody out there with opinions good or avoid on the many cd's there are featuring Tony from Heaven & Hell to pressent. Thanks for any info.
