I didn't see any banners when i watched it. Can't say i've noticed any on VIDS i watch. Dave

brilliant

The original clip had about 5-10 mins of talking about nothing really so started the attached clip just before the playing. Didn't want you guys getting bored. Dave

Not that i want a jazz to sound like a P bass but i like the depth of a P but the clarity of a J. I;ve tried the PJ configuration but it just doesn't do it for me. If my Fender J had a bit more depth it would be my perfect bass. I don't like changing things on a bass unless i need to. I'd rather buy a bass that fits my needs at that time. Currently the VM4 does what i want. Thinner neck would have helped a bit more tho. Dave

That's good to know as its the depth that put me off the TT4 for the VM4. I just love a Jazz bass tho and its probably my fav bass to play. From what i've read the TT4 necks are a bit thinner than the VM4 so that would probably suit me more too. That is one very nice bass tho. Liking that a lot. Dave

Think i need to try a TT4. That is gorgeous. I always thought it might just sound like my Fender Jazz with an added active circuit included. Does it provide the depth of a P pick up as my Fender J doesn't and therefore doesn't suit some bands i play in. Dave

Do you want ice in that

Out of curiosity how are you getting on with your 6 stringer these days. ? Dave

Sad, so so sad that its down to splitting grains. I give up. Time to drink 🍺🍷🥃 Dave

Now that we're out of EU we'll probably go back to old money, real weights and measures and proper feet and inches. Nane o that new fangled metric nonsense. Can't wait to go back in time and live in the 3rd world again. Dave

I'd only buy a sparkly bass if i tried it first otherwise i might have gone for that Warwick Star bass for a laugh. Who knows where the band will end up with Covid taking its toll. We have a rehearsal on Sun to be fair but the longer this goes on the less enthusiasm i seem to have to keep practicing the songs. I guess there are a few of us thinking along similar lines. Dave

Even from a distance it looks sweet. Dave

What's that in real weight 4.25Kg is approx 9.25ibs so not horrendous by any means. Appreciate that's a guesstimate. Price is starting to go up on it and still 2 days to go. There's another one for sale but its offers £950. Think that might be there a while but its in good condition. Out of my reach at that with Xmas coming soon. Dave

Of course but without the heavy relic. Maybe just slight relic'ing. Dave

Nice looking bass but just can't take to that heavy relic thing. Dave.

Another fantastic transformation. What an amazing build thread. That is one gorgeous bass. Some sound clips would have been good unless of course i missed them along the thread. I did flash thru the pics rather than read every post. Nice Dave

Like that one Rob. Not too difficult just a nice pace. thanks again Dave

Jeezo John that was an incredible journey. I don't usually follow these posts mainly because i'm not good at joinery or woodwork repairs but that was one of the most informative and interesting threads in many a year. Can't believe the difference between Pre & Post. Brilliant job. Also not a huge fan of the MM style basses but that is simply stunning. I now have to go back and read Micks build thread. Thanks for the PM and link to it. Very impressed. What we need now is some sound clips or Vids of the bass being played. Dave

Are they quite heavy ? i never checked the weight. Rookie mistake from me and i should know better. Dave

The force is not with me John. I shall have to stay with my Sandberg or my trusty old Geddy Jazz. Thanks again and was good meeting you today. Great when a transaction works for both parties involve. Just sorry we were 2.5 hrs apart but you're retired now and have plenty of free time. All the best Dave

Pass on the Warwick star bass but i've been looking for a Kramer DMZ4000 or 4001 for a long time now. Paul Webb did use either the 4000 or 4001. Was one of the main reasons i was looking as i liked the tone he got with it but i don't want a fretless one. Dave

Certainly not. Use it for some punch in 70's Glam band. But yes it will hang on the wall beside my other toys when not in use. Dave

Thank you guys. I'm watching it now. Currently at £160 and i've just today sold my DMX lighting rig so could be good to go. Not much in these basses so an easy fix i reckon. Appreciate the heads upas i had given up on finding one that fitted my needs. Dave

Just sold my full DMX lighting rig to John. Great transaction, no hassle and did exactly what he said he would do. Drove 2.5hrs each way to pick it up, in not very nice weather. Looked over the kit, instant bank transfer. Both John and Pete really nice guys and came with proper Covid gear (masks and gloves). Wish all transactions were this good. Highly recommend dealing with John anytime. Thanks again John & Pete Hope the drive home was enjoyable. Dave
