Ian Savage Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 http://www.jhs.co.uk/theblacklistsaints.html Now got to restrain myself from recommending Vintage in every single 'What bass should I buy' thread Quote
skidder652003 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Cracker! Vintage guitars and bass grossly undersetimated IMO Quote
Waldo Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 My first ever bass was a vintage musicman copy and after owning pretty much every bass under the sun since, I still wish I'd kept it Quote
dave_bass5 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Better Vintage than roadworn lol Well done Ian, and good moody photo to show you mean business. Quote
Evil Undead Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 That's awesome I've only played a few Vintage brand instruments but have enjoyed them. Quote

jackers Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 nice one man good looking bass and the tunes are great Quote
andydye Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 That looks really nice mate! The vintage guitars/basses we used to stock when I worked in a guitar shop a few years back were a bag of s**t, that one looks really classy! The neck doesn't look like balsa either! In short, it looks like the bass I wish I'd had when I started learning cos it's way better than the one my dad bought me!! Quote
uncle psychosis Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Good work. I've owned three Vintage guitars/basses---one of them was very nice indeed (ask McNach about that one...) and the other two were solid, decent budget instruments. My main issue with them is the name---"vintage" is a horrible name to google when looking for guitar gear! Not sure I could ever be an endorsee of anything, though. I don't think I could keep a straight face when asked to do that moody "this is my bass and I rock hard" publicity shot Quote

I owned 4 That Jazz, by the way... will never ever leave my side again. I have been using it a lot live lately (tomorrow, again!), although I have changed it a bit since I got it back from you. I restored the wiring to standard, and I put some better pickups that I had in my drawer (US Fender of some sort, came originally in the CIJ 75RI, which the original CIJ 75RI owner had removed and replaced with Nordstrands. I think the Fenders sound great!). Quote
dazza14 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I owned a foxy looking Vintage P-Bass, got it second hand from The Bay but although it sounded good and was a good build quality for the price it had a bent neck and the truss rod wasn't doing anything to adjust it. I've since heard the truss rods on Vintage basses are a little suspect. Was gutted because it was really nice. Serves me right for buying 'blind' off e-bay i guess... Quote
discreet Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Looking mean and moody, dude... nice work. Quote
Dandelion Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Yup. Nicely done. You done good. Ding dong muthafunker ding dong.. Quote
Captain Codpiece Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Nice one, I've always been tempted by the vintage range for my guitar habits...... I have a thing for telecasters lol Quote
