Jerry_B Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Sometimes a bit of splashing about with the cash can have it's up side. I decided to treat myself a bit and replace bits on my Fender Jazz fretless, as it's 20 years old and was pretty beaten up by the previous owner. It's black with a nicely yellowed neck, but the white pickguard was a mess and the screws holding it in place were all dull and tarnished. So I put on a new pickguard - a black one - and replaced all the screws with shiny new ones. Now it looks sexy as hell Not that this broke the bank, but sometimes spending a bit on the little things makes a lot of difference to the aesthetics!

Mog Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I find bass purchases relatively cheap. A deacent gigging set up of lets say a MIM P-bass and Hartke 3500 and a 4x10 would cost you about £,1250 odd. That would be a pretty good rig IMO. Even my most expensive bass is still cheaper than my flamenco, a Ramirez R5 which would be a mid priced guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='710155' date='Jan 12 2010, 04:13 PM']Heh! I know the feeling, Sarah. I'm just about to do another string order with Status for six four string sets and a couple of five string sets. I use the DR Fatbeams on my other basses and they're getting expensive - Two sets at a time comes to over £60 usually! At least you have the satisfaction of being better than those ego-maniac guitarists! How're you getting along with your lovely Edge Pro, btw? Rich.[/quote] Hey Rich, You can currently get DR Fatbeams at a good price from www.stringsandbeyond.com I've just ordered 3 of the Marcus Miller medium 4 string sets and even with postage from the USA its worked out to around £51. Thanks to james on here for the heads up on these. Cheers Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
