  1. Sounds great, what's it strung with?
  2. Not to tempt fate, but it seems I have a sale pending.
  3. It may happen soon as I'm getting more interest from people of late.
  4. Check out a Stingray with the SLO Special neck. It's basically a Sterling profile neck (1.5" nut) but standard Stingray headstock and body.
  5. No worries. This is the music that finally made me realise I needed a P bass in my life. I almost bought a CIJ 51 P from Electro Music it was a real bargain, but was holding out for the one I have now.
  6. If I throw in a free pint of my blood and the shirt off my back am I more likely to get a bite?
  7. Check out Bill Withers records with Larry Dunlap (he plays the tele-style P bass):

  9. [quote name='PaulDumbell' post='1264141' date='Jun 10 2011, 04:58 PM']all black 3 EQ with maple neck[/quote] Sorry for the confusion, I actually meant the OP's bass, but because I forgot to state that and the fact that my post came right after yours it did seem like I was asking about the Stingray. Oops.
  10. Maple or rosewood board? Presumably natural body?
  11. There was a guy who put up an ad in the wanted section yesterday who was looking for a fretless jazz and a CIJ was on his list.

  13. Sure this is a great bass. This is the combo I'd get if I were getting one. If someone were to buy my P I may well be interested. Free bump.
  14. You could try this one with a 40mm nut: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=127715"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=127715[/url]
  15. Check out this Youtube clip of a recent Jools Holland episode, it is hilarious. Fantastic to see McCoy Tyner on there, check out Jools's face when the musicians run completely over their allotted time.
  16. [quote name='bassmanjake123' post='1196817' date='Apr 12 2011, 02:04 PM']hello there Just a question is the bass all original. And is the fender name on the headstock one that you've put on yourself ? is it a USA made one as well ? many thanks jake[/quote] Bass is all original (that includes the headstock decal). "CIJ" means "Crafted In Japan" so, no, it is not a USA made bass. Have a search around on the forum and you'll find a lot of info about these models.
  17. [quote name='Beedster' post='1182367' date='Mar 30 2011, 03:41 PM']There's something quite cool about a guy on a bass forum selling a keyboard to buy a new flute [/quote] Yes, bit odd, I know. Bass was the first instrument I took up, but flute is actually my first (i.e. main) instrument. Piano is something I use to compose but I am far from being called a pianist so it's the thing I have to sacrifice in order to get a new flute. [quote name='Dodge' post='1182972' date='Mar 31 2011, 08:39 AM']Location?[/quote] Sorry about the late reply on this - I forgot to track the topic so only read the replies today. I'm in Sheffield.
  18. Sorry for the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=127715&hl=cij"]shameless plug[/url].
  19. Like many people, I got into jazz via Kind of Blue; a music teacher gave me a tape with that one one side and Jaco's self-titled album one the other. It was Cannonball and Trane that got me started. The same teacher gave me a few compilations with Mingus (Goodbye Pork Pie Hat), Silver (Song For My Father) and loads of other great stuff and this was enough to set me on my journey. [quote name='Mr H' post='1192336' date='Apr 7 2011, 10:03 PM']Eventually I bought a Charles Mingus compilation which featured Eric Dolphy and that was pretty much it - got loads of Mingus/Dolphy recordings over the next few years. Eric Dolphy is probably my favourite musician.[/quote] Nice to see another Dolphy fan. Eric is also one of my favourite musicians, though it took me several years before I really got into him. I bought out to Out To Lunch not long after getting into jazz because I was exploring flute players. I really wasn't into it but kept going back to it over the course of about six years before I finally got it. Incidentally, if you're a fan of Eric's bass clarinet playing you owe it to yourself to check out Louis Sclavis (if you haven't already).
  20. So so tempted. I love my Sterling but would really love to have this in order to have the bridge with mutes. If I knew I could sell mine on straight away and not lose money I'd do it.
  21. Good job this isn't a UV70 or HPJ otherwise I'd have probably given in to temptation by now. Have a free bump.
