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

i might do that i reckon, im another +1 on the wood fingerboard/graphite neck thang

Cool. Bob did backing vocals on my old bands album (Doublecross: time after time)

[/quote] heh heh its actually the same guard, the squier now has a plain white that was on the 75 when i got it. I see the paerl as my 'Phil Lynot type trademark accesory thang!' glad you guys like the basses.

nice!

i have very long hair heh heh (and a nice furry markbass stack)

My girlfriend (now wife) bought me a subscripion for my birthday once which was just the best present ever as we were very poor, real hand to mouth stuff, and when my 1st subscription issue came it was the last ever one, never been so gutted in my life! Then of course it moved back to guitarist with lots of promises and even angry letters fom guitarits saying 'we dont want them in our mag!' and withing about three months lo and behold the bass content was down to pretty much zilch! Happy memories though, and like i say i still read em to this day.

for gigs i use a couple of markbass bass keepers, ace bits of kit

I was gonna wait till my geddy had come and i had fitted the villex, and a proper (unbutchered) scratchplate to the white one and do a full family porn post (ooer!) but heck, heres what im wearing this season.. '08 MIJ 75ri: my squier VMJ: bassmaster funk the LX: still got my piezo ray: and of course, although now sans retro, my '90 62ri MIJ :

just a mobile phone pic but heres mine... and nothing fancy but works for me...

i used to have that bass fretless n all, only mine was black on the back of the neck too, man i miss that bass, i paid £275 for it!

ive got a lovely honey vioin model too, bought from a zero feedback seller in great nick on ebay for £400 superb set up and really, really lightweight with a very skinny neck. My fave streamer so far including my pretty old stage 1 i sold. I remember the red streamer well from bassist, infact apart from missing two issues (the one with Flea on the cover and the one with Mani on the cover if anyone has em?) I still have the lot and read them pretty much daily along with the new mag, they are dotted all over the house much to the wifes annoyance! I was reading that particular review in the bath just this week!

thanks thats exactly what im up to, thought it was about time i started carrying the little blighters, my luck will run out eventually!, i just get greeted by pages of undecipherable numbers when looking for the damn things though!, i think ive found some on ebay.com

sweet looks a bit like my old kaman gtx53 that i started on!
