yeah, I'm looking for an acoustic bass, hopefully with a nice thin neck, 38mm width at the nut if possible and hopefully not to expensive, any suggestions? cheers in advance

I hope you enjoy

[quote name='SignsOfDelirium_bassist' post='1088709' date='Jan 13 2011, 10:48 PM']Just a thought, but if you do like the idea of an aerodyne, perhaps get one of the Retrovibe Aero basses? [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html"]http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html[/url] they're pretty cheap, plus with the left over money you could slap in some CTS pots/switchcraft jack and upgrade the pups! I've only heard/read good reviews of them so far, main bad thing about them it seems is that the J pup is a bit weak, but of course with the money left over you can easily buy a nice Wizard 84 or something I'm thinking of doing this once if I manage to sell my 5 string, hopefully I'll have enough from that sale to fund it [/quote] that's actually not a bad idea...

PRIMUS SUCK!

[quote name='Paul S' post='1088095' date='Jan 13 2011, 02:56 PM']Fender Jaguar also has a skinny neck. As in width and depth. Also a Fender Precision Lyte.[/quote] i looked into them, they sound lovely.

[quote name='absolutpepper' post='1087945' date='Jan 13 2011, 01:34 PM']Its a 5 string mate so wouldn't really match your criteria if you are looking for a narrow neck, etc. Great basses the Sterling range is though. A lot of tone for the money and although i've not tried an SB14 my RAY 35 feels largely identical to an SR5.[/quote] good point good luck selling it

[quote name='absolutpepper' post='1087884' date='Jan 13 2011, 12:55 PM']I'd say a +1 on a Geddy Lee Sig, widely regarded as having one of the best necks Fender currently produce. Also I can vouch for the Sterling by MM range. Great basses. Even though I am selling mine its not because its fallen out of favour, its just because I have WAAAY too much gear haha.[/quote] do you have any pics? what price are you selling it for?

OK so I tried the Music man stingray, my god that is such a nice bass... the width at the nut was too wide for my liking, I prefer the thinner neck. I was a bit gutted that non of the 3 big music stores in Liverpool had a sterling in stock as that's the one I really want to try.... if any of you know a music shop in the north west that does stock them then give me a shout please

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1075915' date='Jan 2 2011, 11:56 PM']You're playing a Korean Squier? Those are great basses![/quote] yeah, I love it, I just feel like its time to expand my collection. Cheers for the recommendations

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1075898' date='Jan 2 2011, 11:32 PM']Have you tried advertising in the Basses Wanted section here? Failing that I'd opt for a MIM Classic Jazz bass, skinny necks & cool as hell[/quote] i shall put a post up in the morning The MIM Classic Jazz basses are cool, a friend is looking at the geddy lee jazz bass at the moment, he said they have a really skinny neck, do you know much about them?

Hello, I'm James, I'm 23 and have been playing bass since I was 15. I started to learn bass after getting into Nirvana (cliché I know). my style of playing is mainly alternative rock but really enjoy playing blues and motown bass lines. I am currently playing a squire Jazz bass through a Peavey MAX115 with a bass big muff pi but am in the market for a new bass and amp (any suggestions are welcome). My Dream Basses are the Yamaha SBV500 and the Ampeg Aub - 1 but I currently cant find either for sale. I also play bass for this band [url="http://www.myspace.com/bulla"]http://www.myspace.com/bulla[/url], we are currently recording our new EP and hope to have that done within the month. anyway, I shall stop boring you with details about me. Mucho Love James

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1075809' date='Jan 2 2011, 10:02 PM']Lots of choice in that price range , I would start at a lot of shops and try everthing don't forget to do your research and keep notes as you go to remind you what was good and bad when you get home. Do you want something different or an upgrade of what you have already? You could get a USA Fender of some sort for £500.[/quote] I was looking at the fender aerodyne jazz bass (a bit above the price range) as an upgrade if I cant find anything different that suits. note taking is a very good idea, cheers for the advice

I'm looking for a new bass, in the price range of about £500. I'm currently rocking a squire jazz bass and really like the thin neck, so any bass suggestions with a similar width next would be appreciated. Ideally id like a Yamaha sbv500 but cant find one for sale anywhere Cheers for the help
