Be nice about the video!
tom1946 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Well done Stephen, takes a bit of bottle to do that. Bass sounds great!
M-N-Y Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Nice bass Stephen, Good luck with the sale. A great bass for a bargain price. Cheers, Mark.
MythSte Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks guys, This was over a year ago now would you believe! Its the only bass i've owned more than 18 months... I've since had a haircut, also. edit: I meant the video was over a year old, heads not in the game today!
MythSte Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 [quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1325187583' post='1480785'] Still have it for sale? Or a keeper now? [/quote] Its for sale Only posted the ad today!
Telebass Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 OK, didn't read that too well, did I? There's the possibility of me being interested if it's light enough. I'm buying the 5-string version of this tomorrow! If it's 9lb or less, I'll be twitching! Den
MythSte Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Oh christ, you're going to ask me to weight it now arent you! Um, I can lift it with one hand? It weighs slightly more than a bag of sugar, but less than my armchair. Its all relative.
shemeckfrac Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Yea! Great job with the review Steve! If I had any spare room I'd go for it.
clauster Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Good luck with the sale Ste... I actually came across your vid on youtube a couple of weeks ago, when I was trying to find reviews of the 1024X. Was really impressed with your review.
Bobby K Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Oh bloody 'ell, yet another Yam to tempt me and in my home town too!! Don't even need the video to convince me either (good job though!) Yamahas are quality, no question Bloody bargainous this is, c'mon somebody, you won't regret buying a Yamaha Edited December 30, 2011 by Bobby K

Bobby K Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Oh how I'd love 5 minutes peace, have you been a fly on the wall at my house? Kids going nuts 24/7 I really can't afford it if I'm being honest Ste but would love to have a tinkle on it. Where are you in the 'pool?

JakeFoordBass Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Hi mate, What's the string spacing on this? Where abouts in Liverpool are you? would love to come and have a little play of it if that's ok? Cheers, Jake

I'm in the city center, just off old hall street. Got a surprising amount of time off work and Uni over the next few weeks so just let me know whens good for you! Not 100% on what the string spacing is, but I'll try and find out for you. Its a slightly "odd" feeling bass in the first instance as the pickups are a lot wider than standard P and J pickups so you find yourself opening your hand out a lot more if you're used to anchoring. Obviously less of an issue if you use floating thumb.
MythSte Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 update - Quick google says 19mm string spacing.
MythSte Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 [quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1325280181' post='1481807'] Standard Fender, then. Good. [/quote] Does that mean You're going to buy it?
Telebass Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Still tempted, but not sure...the fiver is on its way!
MythSte Posted December 31, 2011 Author Posted December 31, 2011 Depends what guitar mic Mac moe! I doubt it but its worth a shot I suppose!
