[quote name='BigRedX' post='1226437' date='May 10 2011, 05:06 PM']I already own what IMO are the coolest basses ever... However that dosen't stop me from GASing for something T-Bird shaped with 5 strings too![/quote] Woaa awsome! They have a very futuristic coolnes to them. I bet they will get cooler with age!

Loving the posts!, that Lakeland certainly ticks my box. i think any these basses im seeing hear all have the iconic rock and roll stigma attached. you just have to have the attitude and look to pull it off. i was thinking.. what makes you want to play bass guitar in the first place? being solid tight and able to hold a tight grove and noodle over chord changes? nah! rock out on stage playing anything that sounds cool and having fun!

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1224674' date='May 8 2011, 11:48 PM']thought my ears were burning hahaha. Yes Jez and Prime are right, I love my Jag. They do have issues with this humming, however find me a bass with such tonal options for the price that wouldnt. The buzzing can be sorted as long as you ground the bass properly. However getting all the cavity walls shielded pretty much sorted mine out. They are lovely machines though and a little buzz in no way should put you off one of these truely amazing basses. The preamp gets slated, but I am more than happy with it. Its quite crude, however due to the amount of thump and twang that it can produce I just find it hard to get a bad sound out of it. Its ment for rock n roll and thats what it does best.[/quote] i shielded mine.. took 5 mins sound quite to me! most recording studio worth any money wont have awful wiring in the mains too. Jags are awesome.

Have have the same 2010 week 42! i love it so much.

This is my current cool wall....[attachment=79396:228376_1...927013_n.jpg]

[quote name='Clarky' post='1224638' date='May 8 2011, 11:09 PM']The Ampeg AEB-1 s are well cool in my eyes, not sure I'd like to play one but they look wonderfully retro [attachment=79395:37656925...8404e2_o.jpg][/quote] Oooo, how awesome does that look!!! i want one!,

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1224565' date='May 8 2011, 09:45 PM']Never owned one but the Gibson Thunderbird is one cool looking bass.[/quote] Just got one today! set up properly... its a go anywhere bass, a head turning. and a head scratcher as nobody really knows what a real thunderbird sounds like.

I love think theres anything cooler than a jetglow ricky 4003, or a sunburst blinged up 70's Jazz. What do you guys think! Just a bit of fun really!

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1223996' date='May 8 2011, 11:34 AM']You got a Gibson Thunderbird for around $600? Which one?[/quote] Used! and roughly! ive been searching all over the net, SD do one... but i can seam to find anywhere to buy it! Thing is i want to keep the origina gibson sound

T-Bass Pickup $289.00 each!!! huuuuuuuaa! two of those would cost almost as much as the bass!

Just a shout out for anyone who may know. im not a gibson expert at all! but does anyone know where i can find official original gibo pickups for it? or good after market ones! Cheers!

I think im alone... but my avatar picture is me! haha [attachment=78897:54772_10...052122_o.jpg]

dong get me wrong, i love my fenders... but. everyone i have met owning a US made fender, (including guitars) of which is older than a few years has terribly worn frets! now, i had a music man SUB taht i played the sh*t out of for 4 years solid. stainless roto's; and no fret wear what so ever. also i have an old jaguar import, 1996. no fret wear! yet my US jazz which has has a very easy life, has started to show ageing in the frets. a few guitarist i know have has the same problem, really badly worn frets on there strats and teles' so fender... why? any one els had this problem. or is it that all Pompey fender owning musicians play with a very heavy hand.

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1216432' date='May 1 2011, 11:28 AM']Without a 2nd thought it has to be my fender jag. Its the best playing bass that I have owned and although the sound maybe isnt as refined or 'hi-fi' as the higher end section of basses. However this all adds to the amazing voice this bass has. I nearly sold/traded it a few times but always stayed with it. Im very glad I have. My Ric on the other hand...............MAKE ME AN OFFER [/quote] I also love my jag, its the worlds fastest bass to play. really unrefined, bad electronics, odd design. completely love'able.

4/500 pound discount for a 5 min clean! if i lived near buy i would have got it, clean it and sell it.take good photos instant profit!

My Rickenbacker always wanted one since i started playing bass. could not be more happy with it. its a work of art, and the epitome of rock and roll!

Why the he'll! 820. Thats so cheap!

[quote name='Dave Vader' post='1213509' date='Apr 28 2011, 09:03 AM']go to stringsdirect and try their Legacy strings, used to be about £7 a set, and they were every bit as good as rotosounds. Make of that what you will [/quote] There made in the rotosound factory (there was a rotosound QC card in a legacy box)
