Thanks.

Excellent purchase of MIM Fender Jazz from Simon - an absolute peach of a bass which he cleaned for me! Thank you so much for your help Simon - very much appreciated.

Just about to PM you Phil..... Angie

My new rig & Jazz bass.........it sounds awesome!

What better way of spending my birthday (on the Saturday) than at the bass show.................well I'm sure there's lots of better things but Mr. SlackAlice & I will pop along. Must remember to take earplugs this time!! Angie

Great stuff - many thanks!! Angie

I had a 2 hour lesson with Jake on Saturday. I can only echo the feedback left by others here. Inspirational! We discussed the areas that I'm looking to brush up on (theory being one!) and established a way forward for me. Jake has a great relaxed approach & gave me confidence in the abilities I didn't know I had! I can highly recommend him - a brilliant tutor! My homework is to learn scales in all 12 major keys to learn for my next lesson............Thanks Jake. Angie

Great stuff! All the best for this evening.......and enjoy it. Angie

[quote name='rockabillybob1' timestamp='1317555480' post='1391695'] I recently purchased a stentor blonde rockabilly bass for £680 it arrived packed up well and after unpacking we took the metal tailpeice off changed for ebony , then took the ajustable bridge off never liked these rather have full sound of strings going through the bridge. Restrung it with inovation super silvers tuned up and left it a couple of days to settle down E A D sounded ok ish G string buzzed rattled and no end of ajusting and moving the Bridge would shift it . The fingerboards on these are ebonized and have dips and rises like the welsh valleys. The build quality is shockingly bad i thought primavera blondes were a bit shoddy but these are like ply from the builders yard, what is used for smashed windows etc, the varnish was thin in places and thick in others, i would warn anyone who is considering one of these to stay away from them rather use a t chest bass than this, When plugged in with good pickups sounded just as bad no bottom end , so primavera is one of the better ones now in my eyes if you want a nicer tone and a better build try a primavera 50 the problem with internet basses is you cant try them so if this helps anyone with these basses then great im sticking to my 37 kay you would be better finding an old czek or german if you want a cheaper bass and doing it up [/quote] I know very little about double basses but you'd certainly expect better for that price! Sounds like shockingly bad quality control - if it even exists at all in their workshop! Like the 'flame' double bass in your picture Bob! Angie

Yay! Mine has arrived too - many thanks Ped. Angie

I'm sure it will be fine once the initial batch arrive..........don't worry it's [u]not[/u] your fault Ped! Now the supplier have received an ear bashing I'm sure they will pull there socks up with regards to dispatch. Angie

Thanks for the update Ped. Angie
