  5. i always thought that the 30-90 strings on my jaydee were bendy and so easy to work around without losing the low end punch, and there rotosounds or elites x
  6. jaydees are simply the best (in my opinion), just blasted mine away to a few tunes, 'pursuit of accidents', 'too young to die', 'teen town', e.t.c. for a bit amazing, i love my bass its never ever leaving me, i need an amp!!!!!!!!!! but i havent got the money due to driving lessons, car insurance and so on...cant wait to get a rig though , neighbours wont be happy... what dya think? dont laugh at the pic of me haha!!! x
  7. the jaydee sound pissed all over the alembic sound end of... pangborn was cool too!!! good luck with the sale man, wish i had the money i would have it in a flash x
  8. hey i remember this bass///haha!!! it has a great sound and feel to it actually i loved it for the period of time that i had it, and when i disconnected the tone wire it was a seriously good match for playing along with stingray tracks such as: get on the floor by micheal jackson thinking of you by chic and the early chillis stuff... looking better now though buddy keep up the good work... marcus x
  9. ive seen this bass in a music shop in rugby today was going to plug it in and have a go, but im not really big on 5 strings looks in brand new condition though, so have a bump on me x
  10. [quote name='steve-soar' post='445367' date='Mar 25 2009, 09:07 PM']Hi Marcus, have you shown your Dad this? Why not ask him for a loan and then pay it back over an agreed period. Tell him it's a stop gap till you get a real Status. [/quote] yeah but to be honest my mum and dad are quite skint at the moment and i think that i need to concentrate on concentrate on driving lessons e.t.c, but i really want this, i love the old status sound. BUMPAROONY!!!!
  11. thanks mate, i think it out performs the contemporary hofner series as they have a solid body, this is hollow, hence you can get that 60's sound down to a treat... someone must want this? BUMP!
  12. how about you give me the bass, and i give you the money later, joke!!! BUMP for a great bass, i just wish i had the money because id be making the trip to you now...
  13. well ive being playing around 10 years now, since i was just 8 years old jesus christ lol, how did i even reach the end of the bass haha and ive decided that i could teach people now and would just like to start out so im offfering lessons real cheap i can pretty much play anything so if anyone is interested jsut get in touch thanks marcus x
  14. to be honest this is exactly what im looking for at exactly the wrong time, i still need to save a little more and sell my violin bass lovely anyways mate bet it sounds brilliant too, and if anyone wants to hear one of these fantastic instruments in action go on youtube and put in gdenyer, and also go on statii.com for more information, great website BUMPAGE!!! x
  15. here for sale is my violin bass that i bought around 1 year ago, i bought it during my stint of being heavily into the beatles... so it has only had light use as my jazz bass and my jaydee usually get the time, therefore this bas is 100% mint, it plays lovely with its original strings on and nice low action, has that traditional violin bass sound and just sounds lovely, unfortunately im a bit of a slap bass nut so it never gets used hence why i am selling it, also i want a washburn status so the money from this sale would help massively. only looking for 80 pounds collected in a gig bag and its original cardboard box... i will post pictures if anyone is interested but here is the stock pic, and im not lying my bass is as mint as new thanks for your interest and i look forward to hearing from you marcus x
  16. hi again, i actually a/b tested them in tmc in coventry, they were both bery good but i was more comfortable on the 4, i love the look of it too, but i already have a squier jazz 4 and was buying the vm jjust mainly for its looks and to modify it, but i also liked the 5 and wouldnt mind the challenge of learning 5 string bass too... the kind of music i play is allsorts ranging from funk to rock however i love to slap and groove fingerstyle mostly, i already have a 2002 squier jazz bass, a jaydee supernatural roadie and a violin bass... any more ideas people
  17. still not sure people, help is needed
  18. hi peeps, its my birthday at the end of the month, and im going to be 18, im going to get a bass with the money i get i have the decision on either getting: [list] [/list]Squier jazz bass Vintage modified (the fretted blocks one) squier jazz bass deluxe 5 string (active, no scratchplate)... i already have a jazz bass, its a 20th anniversary fretted passive one, which i love dearly and i love the jazz bass sound, but im also a fan of the blocks look so i wanted that one, but i also like active basses and have never had a 5 string so would like to get into that scene too....help me thanks marcus
