waynepunkdude Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I got this from Beedster a few weeks back I just haven't got on with it. It's a great bass in as new condition, I want what I'm paying Chris for it which is £175 or I will PX for an Orange 210 or 115. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Crikey, that was quick. This is actually a great bass for the price. In fact, I was so impressed that I bought two and the other one's going nowhere. I strung this (Wayne's) with La Bella flats and it did a great retro thumpy/Motown/Stax P-PUP tone and a wonderful 60's pop J-PUP tone (I'm perhaps starting to understand why Wayne's selling it now). Great clicky sound with a pick also. The two PUPs blended work really well, which is something you can't always say of P/J combinations (the 'Duncan Designed' PUPs are extremely hot with an O/P similar to the Quarterpounders). The stacked controls (V/T P-PUP & V/T J-PUP) also allow for some interesting combinations, I love both PUPs up full, P-PUP tone rolled right off with J-PUP wide open. My VM Jag is, I hope, going to be my backup/dodgy gig bass for a while to come (I know Clarky, famous last words and all that) The bass Wayne's selling is about 3 months old, in perfect condition and, unless he's taken it off, still has the protective film on the pickgaurd. Get it before he changes his mind and does something criminal to the finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Give it time dude. It took me about five months to really click with mine (possibly due to the neck being jazz width and i prefer P necks), but at the moment it's my go-to bass. Infact, i just this week stuck some flats on it and i'm loving it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 These Vintage Modified ones are pretty decent instruments, very good for the money and indeed would be good at more cash too. My P is just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
