Why thank you sir, great to meet you to mate, I'm fitting a new set of strings as we speak. Thanks for the coffee too.

[i][b]Serious[/b][/i] porn alert, someone has to buy this, and a great price too. I had one of these until recently, and the band almost fired me when I sold it. Awesome bass. -
BRIGHT COLOURED HOLLOW BODY BASSES
Rayman replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Bass Guitars
LOVE that Dean bass, I need to get me one of those puppies. -
Superb gig, JB's one of my all time favourite players, guitar royalty. I had the pleasure of meeting him once, very nice bloke, and he leaves the likes of Clapton in his wake IMO. As far as his band goes, I thought they were all top notch, including Tal, who's a very talented bass player, and backed JB up perfectly. That's what she was there to do, not show her chops off to other bass players.

I'm hoping to land a shortscale Gretsch Thunder Jet in the next couple of days, and having never bought short scale strings, I just wondered if anyone had any recommendations. I understand it's medium scale strings I need, because of the design of the bridge, short scale strings can possibly be too short, and I don't want to trim longer scale strings. I use Super Slinkys on my other basses, anything similar you can recommend?

I love Robert's tone, and I love his energy. Top bass player and a fascinating vid.

Yeah, I think the petrol alone would cost more than either bass is worth. -
Yep, very nice, is it an S1? Only problem is distance really, east coast is about as far away from me as it gets. Nice Precision though.

PMs replied to thanks. Still open to offers of trades on this one. I rehearsed with it last night, and it was sublime, I just fancy a change.

Quality bass. Have a bump. -
PM'd.

Quality bass, I'm surprised it's still here. -
Very interested in those. My white Tbird was a storming bass, neck dive schneck dive, I loved it.
-
no mate, I'll give a last hike before just keeping it. It's a lovely thing, and I'll be more than happy to just hang on to it if no-one fancies it. Guess I'll have to save up for a Precision.
-
final bump.
-
Well......my guess would be the Precision plus a ton on top? Assuming the P bass is in A1 condition. Usually mint Precisions go for around 550, and I'm after 650 for the ray, black/maple is my ideal choice too.

I'm specifically after a USA Fender Precision plus cash my way for this now.

Hi mate, yes it's still available. I'm in Manchester.

Replied.

Alternatively, I'm after a Gibson 335, or a Fender SRV Strat. Basswise, it's really a Marcus Miller Jazz I'm after first and foremost.

[quote name='rayfw' post='366420' date='Dec 30 2008, 05:25 PM']GAS got the better of you Russ? Just got a Marcus myself and they are fantastic basses. This used to be mine and I missed it the moment it left my house. So much so that I bought another 'ray 2 days later. If I had the cash I'd have it back without hesitation but I'm skint at the mo' Unless you fancy a trade for an 08 Blizzard Pearl / Rosewood USA Precision Good luck with the sale.[/quote] Cheers Ray, I just fancy another Marcus, and the extra cash on top would be useful. It's the nicest ray I've ever played, I just fancied someting new. I'm a bit fussy about the colour of the Precision, and I'm really keen to get a black/maple one to be honest, JJ Burnel style. Thanks for the offers Mike, but not quite what I'm after at the moment.

GONE.

To me there are no rules, go with your gut feeling. [i]However[/i], personally I would always suggest a beginner to start on a 4 stringer. Get the bassics right on that and play as much as you can. If in a few months the urge for a low B string is still there, well, go for it then. Only my opinion, and you'll get quite a few here, but whatever you go for, enjoy, that's all that matters.
