Just saw [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-USA-Precision-Bass-Guitar-1978-Sunburst-Finish-/220984899049?_trksid=p4340.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7442637481739611291"]this[/url]! Looks genuine, is there a reason it's only at £510 with less than a day to go? Cheaper than buying a Roadworn

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1332374078' post='1587576'] How's the hybrid coming along? Seem to be still having niggles with the micro amp. [/quote] Last I heard of the hybrid Hayden had managed to match the levels and get it working - just working on the sound, so it shouldn't be long now Haven't heard anything else on the class d amps, but I'll make sure to check them out next time I go down!

Just swapped my amp for one of Will's basses! Great guy, nice and easy transaction and the bass is in perfect condition - what more could you ask for? Cheers!

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1332094559' post='1583160'] But look how much body is behind the bridge. What's it actually [i]doing[/i]? It's just being there- along for the ride. [/quote] It's a sound board - the vibration of the string is travels through the bridge and makes it vibrate on the same frequency. Because it has a larger surface area it moves more air, which is why you get a louder acoustic sound and that specific semi-hollowbody sound from the pick-ups Either way, I reckon aesthetically it looks very cool!

Must admit I've got a thing for my friend's old ES-335 at the moment! I think there are too many good/bad examples of each to decide if guitars or basses look better

Biro? Pfft, I use a vintage Fender quill and inkpot. They got it right the first time. A bit roadworn but not too bad for an all-original - besides it has that unmistakeable classic vintage Fender output. Don't try to fix what isn't broken! Edit: Oh yeah on topic! I use a Warwick 5-string $$ Corvette, a cable that works and a soon-to-arrive Matamp hybrid head and 1x12 cab Plus an old Eko SG with '70s Gibson humbuckers and Bigsby into a poor little Fender Sidekick Reverb That Squire Jazz you have looks ace, a friend of mine has one and it sounds/plays amazing!

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1331596710' post='1575746'] in fact, f*** ME! [/quote] The world's gone mad hasn't it? I'm holding on to mine!

Worth taking a look at this Warwick? (someone had to do it!) I don't know why they're so cheap second-hand at the moment - they retail for loads more. I play a Corvette too and it rocks! With the spare cash you expand your rig a bit http://basschat.co.uk/topic/170619-warwick-corvette-german-made-mid-90s-l260/page__pid__1574534#entry1574534

Cor blimey. That bass looks quite nice.

My old piano teacher had just taken delivery of a new Yamaha grand and I had the honour of being his first student to play it. Unfortunately I hadn't been feeling that well and... Yep. All over the keys. (This was a number of years ago when I was a kid btw! Please don't be put off buying my amp in the for sale section )

Jazz bass in the countryside. ...Just realised there was no-where to plug in.

I've got an old Squier 'Strat' made in China - exactly the same decal except mine says Affinity where yours says Fender. Hasn't been used for years - input jack's gone and the pick-ups aren't aligned very well, especially the neck/middle - but it plays pretty well! Buy a complete strat assembly pickguard (http://www.axesrus.com/pickassy.html or something similar) and it could be a really nice guitar Hope that helps!

[quote name='tremblap' timestamp='1331232853' post='1570060'] OK this is a little show off of a title ;-) So I ordered a GT-200 after spending a whole afternoon with Jeff, Hayden, Andrew, and the others... I had brought in my Eden wt-400, my TC RH 450 and my Fender Bassman 100 from 1976... and I am selling the latter as it is no match whatsover! I tested on their 4x10 and 2x12 and this is the best amp I've ever played in. A category on its own. I took the standard, and saw a guitar combo in balck and red and gold and loved it so I went for it! I inquired about a mid-freq-switch like they have on their guitar amps and a different taper on the drive button to be able to dial more subtly in the clean zone... voilà! Speaking of guitar amps, I also ordered a 1224mk2 and two 2x12 for the uni studios that I am in charge of, in sparking blue... My research assistant ( I had to bring 3 guitar players as I was not to shop for that instrument by myself ;-) almost bought one for himself too... all in all, a fantastic day out in Meltham. I'll attach picture when I get the beasts. pa [/quote] Nice! Out of interest how did the GT-200 match in terms of versatility with the other amps? Edens especially have pretty powerful EQ IME! Like the sound of sparking blue
