    The Vintage V4s are very good basses, amazing quality and playability, good Wilkinson hardware on them too.

    I’ve missed gigging but given that I’d already left my band it was my decision to stop so not in the same position as many of you out there.

    I’d say if you’ve not bonded with it then move it on and look for a bass you truly love playing. I’ve had many basses that for whatever reason I just didn’t gel with, nothing wrong with any of them, so sold them, hopefully to people who really loved them.

    I get that, and thinking about it that’s probably why I feel like I can only own US Fenders as my gigging instruments. Although I’ve been very impressed with the quality and playability of MIM Fenders of recent years there’s always a voice in my head saying “but it’s not a US Fender, you need a real one”. Daft but hey, that’s how it is for me.

    I think it’s down to personal taste/choice but I’m in agreement, out of my fave players none used more than 4 strings.

    That is a great looking Jazz, congrats

    They are very good indeed, a real surprise at how good they are in fact. I had mine as a backup to my US Precision and fully expected to have to swap pickups etc, but no, sounded great and played great too. Real good quality instruments.
  8. Lozz196
    Yep, I’ve not tried one myself but I’ve not read a bad word about them, over a good many threads.

    The only real difference I’ve found is the V4 has a chunkier neck, or at least the Tony Butler V4 has.

    I wouldn’t know if a song wasn’t in straight 4/4, other than it would just sound a bit “off”. And if it did I’d have no idea what actual time sig it was in.

    I truly wish I could get past having to have US Fenders. The post 2008 MIMs, especially the Player range are excellent. But I can’t get past it it seems, given I’ve bought a US Jazz today.

    I remember doing a cab shootout at the SE Bass Bash some years back and being very impressed with the Super Midget. I found the original Midget a bit shouty but the G3 SM sounded much fuller and better balanced. An amazing amount of quality sound came out of that little cab.

    Agree, I pretty much always called them scratchplates but have noticed the move to pickguard.
  14. Lozz196
    I know, I’ve found the post 2008 Mex Fenders that I’ve had, especially the Player to be more than enough for my needs, but for some reason I still have to have US Fenders. Totally irrational, especially for gigging, makes much more sense to gig with a £500 instrument than a much more costly one.

    Whatever is done will never be 100% right, but it’s a start, great that this is now being looked into.
  16. Lozz196
    Yep, Vintage V4s are great, the Tony Butler Signature is an excellent bass.
  17. Lozz196
    Agree, I never needed anything more than a Super12 with a 500 watt amp head.
  18. Lozz196
    I used both Markbass and Aguilar for a while, then had a provided rig at a gig which was Ashdown. Decided to swap immediately, for the punk that I was doing the Ashdown just had so much more punch & depth to it. Worth checking out, their RM range is lightweight to carry but not in the sound department.

    Are there any bassists who’s time you like, and by that I mean on a local basis re live bands. Always a good place to start if you’ve heard something you like in a band context.
  20. Lozz196
    That’s why I bought the EVO II and sold the EVO I, middle aged eyesight meant I couldn’t see what I was doing on the amp on either overly bright or overly dark stages. The weight saving of 2.5 odd KG didn’t hurt either.
  21. Lozz196
    Basses in the past that couldn’t be put down - well I’d be looking for one of those again. If your current instrument isn’t generating that kind of feeling then maybe it’s just not the right type for you. Nothing wrong in that.
  22. Lozz196
    I’m really glad I’m not in a band that is crying out for gigs at present, I think a good amount of time should be spent analysing the opening of non essential retail and pubs before freeing up gigs. Make sure it’s safe to move forwards before taking the first step so to speak.

    Was going to go on the exercise bike and lift dumbbells every day, use the opportunity to maintain fitness. Instead I ate half a pack of dark choc digestives every day leaving me with indigestion and half a stone to lose. They were nice biscuits tho.
  24. Lozz196
    Sad that this is happening on such a well known brand.
  25. Lozz196
    Same for me. The only decorations my basses get are genuine knocks from being on the road.
