[quote name='afroblue' timestamp='1390934868' post='2351520'] What do you make of the neck pickup? I'd like it for slap and fingerstyle funk with roundwounds to begin with until I can afford a good MIA/MIJ jazz, then revert to flats and get a good reggae tone. Or am I asking far too much for a £100 bass? looking forward to the video.... [/quote] The pups are great, I've been mostly playing with both pick-ups on full volume with tone set about halfway, I had to turn down my little Stagg practice combo because the pups are so loud compared the Encore P-Bass I had been using! Today I experimented with the pups a bit and the sound awesome with just one on full and the other totally rolled off, going to experiment a bit more tomorrow to see what different sounds I can a get< I'll try and do a vid as well now I have got used to the bass a a bit. Still think it's an absolute bargain for just over £100, looks great, easy to play with it's low action and sounds amazing John

Sad news, RIP.

Great find, I'll watch more when I get a chance

Hi and welcome, have fun

Welcome to Basschat

Welcome to BC Rob, good luck in the search for a bass

Marvellous, great bass

Joe Ely is someone I've always liked [url="http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/52889348/Definitive-Collection/Product.html?searchstring=joe+ely&searchsource=0&searchtype=musicall&urlrefer=search&strefer=musicall&searchfilters=s%7bjoe+ely%7d%2bc%7b34%7d%2b"]http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/52889348/Definitive-Collection/Product.html?searchstring=joe+ely&searchsource=0&searchtype=musicall&urlrefer=search&strefer=musicall&searchfilters=s%7bjoe+ely%7d%2bc%7b34%7d%2b[/url] Cant go wrong with Gram Parsons or The Eagles, Tim McGraw is also pretty good John

Lovely basses, 2 for the price of 1, good job John

Hello and welcome

Overend Watts on the song 'Born Late 58' on Mott The Hoople's album 'The Hoople' (he also wrote the tune). John

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1390484574' post='2345902'] Looking forward to hearing more comments on your HB after you've had it for a while. [/quote] Played it for about 3 and a half hours today, the HB JB75 just lovely to play, the neck is so smooth and with the low action it's a lot easier to play, when I get totally used to it I'll try and post a video of me playing which should be worth a laugh!! John

Welcome aboard

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1390425381' post='2345423'] Does my Demon bass qualify for this bizarre bunch? [/quote] That certainly does, devilishly great bass

Nice

Welcome to BC

Just bought a bass from Thomann in Germany, no extra charges apart from VAT John

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1390412595' post='2345205'] Congratulations. What an utter bargain! [/quote] For about £107 including delivery it's an amazing bargain John

[quote name='MikanHannille' timestamp='1390411510' post='2345182'] Looks lovely! [/quote] Thanks, It is, I might sleep with it tonight and kick the wife into the spare room John

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1390409132' post='2345126'] With so many sources for hearing and learning techniques it makes learning bass a lot easier but in terms of creating a new sound or style, pretty impossible as all the trail-blazing on the instrument has probably been done. [/quote] +1 on this

Hi Tom and welcome to BC
