OutToPlayJazz Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 A pupil of mine recently got an Epiphone Thunderbird. Now I know they're oversized and a bit outlandish, but I have a real hankering to get one. Same goes for the new Ibanez SR300. Both cheap basses, but I want one! What cheapies are you hankering after this week? Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted July 21, 2008 Author Posted July 21, 2008 Yes, I know what you mean, Simon! You know it's not going to be the best thing you've ever played but there is something undeniably cool about those Italia basses. Quote
KevB Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 With those lipstick pickups I'm guessing it's not first choice for aggressive slapping! Quote

Finbar Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Something with fanned frets. ANYTHING. Does anyone on here own a fanned fret bass I can try? Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted July 21, 2008 Author Posted July 21, 2008 I think we're going to have to rename this thread something like the "Christmas wish-list"!!! Quote

Dubs Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I've been eyeing up a nice Sunburst SX Jazz for a bit...don't think I'll put my money where my mouth is for a while though. Major major MAJOR GAS this week/month has been for a Shuttle 6.0...one will be mine shortly Quote
Dr.Dave Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 A Rickenbacker in Fireglo ................and a sunburst fretless 70's P and one of the new GK micro range amps if and when I see one and.....................etc etc etc Quote

Dr.Dave Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Sorry but I missed the bit about gassing for cheaper end stuff - my picks hardly come under that umbrella. So - tried a couple of OLP ray-a-likes at the Yorks bass bash and I loved them , esp the Tony Levin sig which I don't think cost a packet. Maybe , if a really good playing OLP 5er came along ....maybe. Quote
Tee Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Probably one of those Squier VM Jazz basses, with the block inlays. Cheapy cheap. Quote
EBS_freak Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 actually been looking at getting a sat nav for getting to gigs. I actually have a sat nav on my phone... but I have learnt that they are not to clever when at a critical point of driving the phone rings. I've had enough. Sat nav standalone it is! Quote
Machines Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 OLP MM32.. 5 string with dual humbuckers with coil switching and 3 band EQ... and only £300 quid. Need to get hold of one. Quote
Merton Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 No GAS this week, I've actually clearly been feverish as I've been thinking (highly illogically) about what else I can SELL. Somebody shoot me now before something else ends up on the for sale forum. Quote
john_the_bass Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 oh and a pair of glasses. have you seen the price of the bloody things? Quote

If I could, I wouldn't need the damn things... Meanwhile, on the GAS front; Bongo H/S Corvette $$ G&L ASAT It's all gone a bit Humbucker, hasn't it? Quote
