Hi, not sure where to post this so this will do. I have an Imac G5 with 2GHZ processor and 2GB RAM. But it won't run snow leopard as it doesn't have an Intel prosessor. Does this mean it will also not run Logic Pro 9?

fender jazz bass pre '79. Probs a '78. I'l see whats here in January

How is he allowed to keep bumping up the price? £1500 now! in 2 days it will be £3000

Phil Mulford does the X factor tracks

these songs are very easy to learn by ear. Don't stop til you get enough is virtually 2 notes, A and B. Working all day and night is a riff in E minor, i think beat it is a riff in Eb minor, billie jean is a riff in F# minor, thrillier is a riff in C# minor i think. Or their around those shapes, so it should be easy to pick up by ear

a blues driver of some sort would help

I play mostly pop/funk/disco/soul and i really like the "dead" bass boomers tone on my stingray. And it took them only a week to go dead

Should be getting mine on saturday. I was a bit worried at first that the 300w cab wont take my lh500 but after reading here it seems like it would be cool

Anywhere. Anyway, I am no Fender expert, but I know my copies, & would like to think I could spot a shonky fake-up. However, this looks kosher to me - are my eyes playing tricks? Jon.[/quote] +1, i reckon the guy just doesn't know ebay and possibly just wants what he paid for it. It looks all good except the difference in coating from the front headstock to the rear. I havn't seen that on a fender before. Otherwise i wish i had the funds for it

[quote name='bubinga5' post='992921' date='Oct 18 2010, 11:09 PM']We all love bass direct, but why is he stating CBS when its not....?[/quote] it is cbs era, cbs took over in '65, anything before that is known as pre cbs. Its in great condition and is an earlyish model when you think late 70's models fetch near £2000 and anything before '67 will get nearer £4000

I think one thing people seem to miss is the difference between players price and dealers price. Dealers can afford to hold on to instruments longer as they have other sales generating income. So they wait until they can get a good return on what they spent. I think if advertised in a classifieds or ebay or here you would be looking to get a little less than what a dealer would sell them for. From examples over the last few years i would say £2500- £2700 for the p bass and £3000-£4000 for the jazz bass. I think the best thing to do would be to find a good shop in london that would do a commission deal as they seem to sell for more than they do north of the midlands. You just need to make sure its a deal that would get you more than selling privately.

at the moment its my career ambition, i love the dramatic music, like film scores kinda thing. Just need to get good and be a reading master

great shop too! but yeh too far for me

[quote name='blackmn90' post='988953' date='Oct 15 2010, 10:33 AM']what a great wake up morning band. Not sure on Tokyo as a song though, i prefer the outrageously cheesey first album[/quote] Oh and tone wise, just a picked p bass through an orange stack.

what a great wake up morning band. Not sure on Tokyo as a song though, i prefer the outrageously cheesey first album

For my essay iv got to analyse my practice routine. So i wondered what the typical routines for basschats finest were......

nate watts plays it synth live, so maybe a moog pedal?

as with everything its worth what people are willing to spend on it

I'm starting to think jazz basses are cool :s

I love the dead sound and feel of the ghs boomers, once i wear them in a bit
