[quote name='Rumble' post='316076' date='Oct 27 2008, 07:01 PM']Simple question: Having decided to go back to a jazz after having a go with a Stingray, should I shell out £250 on a cheap (eg Squire CVJ, VMJ, or Fender MIM) and put some mods on it or just spend the extra on a nice Japanese or US one? I'm quite into the idea of doing some of my own mods, but can't help but wonder whether the 'cheapness' will show itself in things I can't really influence (i.e. fret dressing, neck-body joint, deadspots etc...) What d'ya reckon?[/quote] Have you cheched out SX basses.They are great quality for the money.D

My pedal boards worth more than my motor.In fairness though i only paid £150 for the car!!

I've ordered a LAKE PLACID BLUE CALI jazz 4 Lefty with a Hipshot D Tuner from PMT brum for the Chili's Tribute i play in. Ive played a couple and fell in love.i've got a feeling i'll end up using it on a lot more projects. Seriously good basses and great prices for superb handbuilt instruments.

H i Jamie!! i have a 77 Fender Jazz and it's awesome mate.I own a Modulus,Zon,Warwick Thumb, Carvin Etc! the Jazz is a weapon of choice for most projects i do so there is certainly great late 70's fenders out there,it sounds and plays lovely.i've had so many comments on it's sound from sound engineers.D Just wondered what years were good years for Fender during the 70's? I'm going to save up for an old Fender. I've seen a '78 Precision that's in awesome condition, played it and it's sweet, but didn't know if the late 70's ones were any good or not? Ideally i'd like a Precision with a Jazz pickup in the bridge and a Jazz neck (block inlays)...but the P/J pickup thing is the most important!!! Any advice on what years would be good for both Jazzes and Precisions, i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks Jamie [/quote]

[quote name='E_MaN' post='270260' date='Aug 26 2008, 02:00 PM']Flea never played a MM on record apart from when using a 5....I think for BSSM he used a Spector?[/quote]He used a WAL mainly on 'BSSM'. He used a Stingray 4 on 'AEROPLANE' (according to interview Bass player mag 96) and an Alembic Epic on rest of 'One Hot Minute'.Also a Stingray 4 & a Spector was used on 'Mothers Milk'.

[quote name='metaltime' post='18278' date='Jun 15 2007, 01:01 PM']I am left handed and play left handed basses. I too used to get very frustrated with this but i have learned that finding your ideal bass is a lot more rewarding because you have to work for it. I am proud of my collection as i have battled hard to find it i feel like i have some very unique basses. what does wind me up is the upcharge that companies charge. i think spector charges like ten or fifteen per cent on lefty models which is sick if you are already paying a fortune. the result is i avoid spectors. Fender are another one and there policy on jazz basses does my head in they sell mex lh jazzes, japan lh jazzes american deluxe jazz basses but the wont make a regular american jazz left handed even tho they will do a p bass american grrr result i wont buy fender products. I check ebay every day i search the internet all the time and if i see something i want at a good price i buy it i tend to buy it second hand that way if i dont like it i can gey my money back easier. heres a tip leftybass.com dont no if you have seen it. if i saw my dream bass on there i would be willing to go try it out and get it even if it meant traveling in europe. Andrew[/quote] hey mate!! as a lefty who has a 77 jazz,modulus quantum 5, 79 ibanez musician, gb spitfire 4 loads more (even a lefty upright clifton bass) seriously check out Sandberg basses!! they come left handed no charge and will custom build you anything and the prices are ace.ice ordered a california m/j pickup fretless 4 from p.m.t in birmingham and told it'll be 2 months.check em out pal

[quote name='dlloyd' post='82007' date='Oct 31 2007, 11:34 PM']I'm thinking about picking another of these up after selling my FX25B a while back. I'm leaning towards the FX25 because I didn't really use the blend control much. How does it compare apart from the blend? I'm also curious about the 440. Okay, they're more difficult to come by, but other than that and the Radiohead thing, is there any other reason they are so much more expensive? How do they compare with the FX25 pedals?[/quote] The filter i've been using for a while is the Boss Dynamic Filter and its awsome!! why boss discontinued in the late eighties i'll never know.it sounds great and you can add an expression pedal to it.Flea used one live for years.i got mine of ebay and when i saw another i bought another as a spare just in case.you can usually pick one up on ebay.ive had a dod fx25 and it was ok but never worked very well with active basses and lacked bottom.look out for a dynamic filter mate for instant funk
