Dammit, i hate precisions, i do i hate em, i wouldnt be seen dead with the orrible, plunky things, i wouldnt, i woul... I hate you They are all lush! Now I want a P-bass, just when i was happy Beedster, i was so happy!

Me too, a random gold badass and white pickguard from my 75ri jazz (dosnt actually fit that well but i like the whit elook so ill get one made when funds allow) strap locks and thats it for now. Ultimately ill whack a detuner on and seeing as you lot keep banging on about wizards i may try em, but the pups on there are pretty good anyway, quite middy and barky, i luuurve my flamey necked VMJ! Its def rattlier than my fenders, but darn for the money its an Uber steal! Mines in the bass porn section

Looks more jazzy shaped then, i thought it was a P, im still trying to find time to get back to the shop for a noodle, that colour is much nicer though.

yup indeedy

I love the hartke bass driver too, wipes the floor with the sansamp (imho). But the pedal i wont play without is my trusty old Boss CS-1 compressor, although to be fair any compressor will do!, as long as there is some squish.

when i was in Balance of Silence i used my warwick FNA jazzman, a stingray and a status 6 string, all worked really well.

Gotta admit im pretty tempted to offer my markbass 151HR as a swap for another traveller 102P to do exactly this. Just one of the little guys seems loud enough for almost anything, and my new house is so tiny even a compact 15 like the markbass is hard to fit in!

I sooo wish i could recall, but sadly i have no idea, it was a large square pub with virtually no furniture at all!, like a saloon in a western!

if im off tomorrow afternoon ill go have a noodle and let you all know how it is.

Once my band turned up as a very last minute booking to replace a cancelled band at a pub in Leamington who had somehow heard of us and begged us to drive there from Leicester with about two hrs notice, this was about 14 years ago. When we got there the landlord was steaming drunk and VERY rude and abusive, before we'd even got out the car, he was just standing in the parking spot in the road outside the pub wobbling and apparently looking for a fight with anyone. When he realised we were the band he just grunted a lot and wandered off inside. As we set up he wandered in and out of us in the 'stage' area making snide and unpleasent comments about wether we knew how to work a plug, amps etc, etc Eventually we did a few bars not even a sound check per se, just a sorta 'is it all on?' before getting into detail, whereupon he came up and said : " I told you to turn down and you didnt, so heres £50, now pack up and f*uck off!" ?? He hadnt said a word!, sure enough we packed up and as we loaded the car we noticed a big van hiding round the corner , with lo and behold, another band waiting to load in!!!!! We went back to our local and spent the £50 on beer and nuts and tried to figure what the hell had happened! (The long version includes an arrogant teenage me being pulled out the pub after loading the car by my much bigger, older and wiser drummer as i had gone back in to start on the drunken landord and his mates as i thought i was: A), invincible being a teenager, and the greatest bass player in the world and how dare he treat us like that, heh heh

Another view askew fan here too..

nice one dude, all i could think was what a cool mod machine it would be its here: [url="http://www.spearguitar.com/artist/info_1.asp"]http://www.spearguitar.com/artist/info_1.asp[/url]

Glad to be of service!

It was a p copy, £200 in a green to yellow burst in matte with a tortie guard, with a jazz bass pup at the neck, a p in the middle and an MM bucker in the bridge which seemed to have brass saddles. A 'hook' style fender headstock like the old antorias and the logo 'SPEAR' embossed in silver like some of the US fenders, crazy but kinda cool, bet it would mod well. It had a maple neck with about four knobs and a mini switch, didnt play it but i reckon i may have to go back just to sate my curiosity!

I have owned several jazzes, and still do , and without a doubt my VM jazz is one of the best, a great all round bass that truly does blow away many Mexican jazzes ive played, although i believe the standard is on the up, what about a Jap standard from the guitar emporium, the Jap ones are really great basses. Heres my squier to whet the appetite. it does have some buzz, but a shim helped:

i really like that jazz, just the type im hoping to swap for my Geddy, if it ever arrives!

Strange, ive owned four warwicks and they all had thin necks, the fattest was my FNA jazzman, but not much fatter than a jazz.

The ray is indeed a piezo sparkle with matching headstock, the extra know controls the piezo/magnetic blend. The white and black lines are binding on the side of the neck and is standard on both jazzes. The blue jazz has a status graphite neck fitted, to which i added some budget fretfx leds. The peacock blue DR strings sadly were almost dead out the box so i never had em on for long! Glad you like em!, not as hot as some of the stuff on here, but i like em!

my first amp was a H+H vs100 ex of the meteors, and i used to have a yamaha combo that was apparently ex slade

yeah i just had it too
