Howdy So earlier last year, i decided to sell my first proper bass, My fender USA Jazz 5 1996. I wasn't playing it, i'd gone off the colour, and the damage had stopped being cool, and was starting to bug me. So i put it up for sale here, and starting receiving some rather cheeky cash offers of around the £200 mark.. After a while, i almost sold the bass on a few occasions, and even found myself making up or exaggerating faults to put off potential buyers. So eventually i decided to keep it, and back in the cupboard it went. A month passed, and i got another offer (sensible this time) to which i declined, the offerer admitted he planned to refinish the bass! This turned on a light bulb in my head, and i started planning how i would refinish my faithful Jazz. Cut a long story short, i decided to Have a gold Jazz, with stacked knobs. I sanded the Red paint off, and sent the body off to the incredibly talented Dan Macpherson at DM guitars. 4 weeks later, i had the body back, looking great, with a faint sparkle to the gold finish. The new pots and control plate came from All Parts, which i hastily soldered together to make a working bass! After an hour of screwing bits back together, and restinging with some black roto Nexus strings, the Golden 5 String 60's stacked knob late nineties Jazz Bass Was born! The only thing i would love to do would be to get the headstock painted in a matching Gold, but to be honest i think it looks Fabulous anyway! Heres a pic with my 73 P Bass Hope you Enjoyed!

Thought i best update my Shuker collection having recently welcomed another into the pack.. So here we have : [b]Singlecut 6[/b] - Commissioned by Eude.. this thing is a lovely 33" Bass, very comfy with a very direct sound, can be loud in the mix without killing other instruments.. [b]Jazz 5[/b] - My 21st Birthday present from my parents, Upgraded to an East Preamp, sounds killer, the East really has made this the most versatile bass i own. [b]Artist Pro 6[/b] - Wow, this thing i mad, sounds like a double bass and weighs nothing! crazy. Had a bit of a game getting the action where i wanted, but thats what you sacrifice for a piezo bridge i guess!

check out some pics of queen in the mid eighties, john deacons p bass was black with gold hardware

I owe so much of my playing to church, as i was let into that world really early on.. just regularly playing from the chord charts with different people every week was just great for my playing. Have also had some great gigs on that scene, done the big stages at soul survivor and new wine, aswell as led worship at some big events at cathedrals.. i'm really thankful i've the chance to be a part of it all

lol.. i rented a fender roadworn jazz for a night in oslo.. wasn't cheap lol!

like in a strange way

+1 for the AK4x10, really great cab

In my experience.. No, I use 2 of the 4x10's and the sd1200.. IMO, I really don't like a p bass through markbass, but anything else, I can get pretty much any sound I need

If you back out of the program, does the bass sound disappear even though the app is still running? Just thinking about reading charts and stuff..

Never thought to post in here.. I'm a 22 year old bass player, currently in Walsall in the west midlands. Graduated with a first class degree in popular music last year, regularly gigged since 14.
