  1. Been thinking about it all weekend. Might have to look into someway I can order that bad boy pronto.
  2. I think this wins the award for the oldest thread reply
  3. Decided to go try a few basses out at GuitarGuitar in Brum yesterday. I tried out a Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5, a Lakland Skyline 55-01, an Overwater contemporary J 5 and a few others but nothing really grabbed me. I really wanted to have a good thump on a G&L Trib 2500 but alas they didn't have any G&L in stock. Then I tried a Lakland Skyline Vintage J 55-60 and oh my god! It wasn't just love at first play, it was 'I want to settle down, have kids and grow old with this thing' at first play. I'll admit, I've never been too keen on the look of the Lakland bridge and it initially put me off trying one. But after yesterday I've fallen in love with every inch of it, especially the really small frets and feel of the neck, it was just effortless to play and sounded wonderful. I'm seriously toying with selling my '91 Fender Telecaster Plus to get one, and I promised myself I would never sell that guitar. Love does funny things to you don't it? [size=4]On a side note the Lakland website specs say the 55-01 and the 55-60 have the same frets but I'm pretty sure the 55-01's were bigger on the ones I tried yesterday? Anyone [/size]else noticed a difference in size?

  5. It's just not for me if that makes sense. I've bought a number of basses recently and keep going back to my trusty 4 string jazz because they others didn't 'feel' right for me. I did fall in love with a Lakland J 5 string at the weekend which felt perfect to me, but the price tag wasn't
  6. The finish is particularly nice on it, just let me know if you wanna swing by one evening.
  7. You're welcome to come try out my Squier Jazz deluxe V as I'm only in Leicester http://basschat.co.uk/topic/170820-fs-squier-jazz-deluxe-5-string-l200/
  8. Mick bought my Fender Kingman off me. Absolute pleasure to chat with and really easy to deal with. Cheers buddy.
  9. I'm going to GuitarGuitar in Brum tomorrow to give one a go along with some other fivers. If I like the shop one I may well be contacting you about this one. You wouldn't be interested in trade plus cash for this would you?

  10. Come Payday this will be added to my library, looks great.
  11. [quote name='MB1' timestamp='1331743920' post='1578169'] MB1. Blimey! Shows how ignorant i am,i thought Gerald Veasley was a character in Lord of the rings?. [/quote] I thought he was the ginger one from Harry Potter
  12. [quote name='barronvonmarlon' timestamp='1331668905' post='1576988'] Would also consider selling for the right offer [/quote] I think it's that part of your post Johngh is highlighting If you're just after a trade you don't need to state a price, but if you're considering selling it you do need to.
  13. Greetings Hombres I bought this stunning bass off of our very own Mcnach only last week but have decided it's not quite what I was looking for. [b]The Blurb:[/b] [i]The Deluxe Jazz Bass® Active V (five-string) is perfect for either a burgeoning five-string player seeking active tones, or as a low-cost backup for any working musician. Features include an active three-band EQ with slap switch and a one-piece maple neck with ebonol fingerboard.[/i] It's been really well looked after by Jose with only a few of the usual hairline scratches. [b]The Price:[/b] As I've only had it less than a week I'm looking to get back what I paid for it *SOLD* [b]The Pics:[/b]
  14. KABOOM! James bought my Comfort Strapp off of me and was an absolute pleasure dealing with him.
  15. Wow really impressed. I've been looking at getting a Uke bass for some acoustic stuff, the DB sound and the compact size is so appealing. I would really like a 5 string version too but apart from the Kala solid body there's not a lot of choice. Keep us posted with Mark II as I can see myself getting one ordered if it all works out. If you don't mind, can I ask what the expected finish cost is?
  16. Would you consider selling the ramp if it comes off?
  17. Bought Jose's Squier deluxe 5 string jazz. What a gentleman and an absoulte pleasure to deal with. Great to chat with and really helpful taking lots of pics for me. Bass came really well packaged and is in brilliant condition. Very very happy and really hope to have more dealings with Jose in the future. Alex
  18. [quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1331145570' post='1568495'] That's what she said [/quote] Haha Winging it's way to you as we speak Higgie
  19. Another Leicester bassist hoorah! Soon we will have the finest bass army!
  20. Evening I have a long comfort strapp that has been kicking around for a while for sale. It is new with tag however it does show signs of a little wear at either end from me putting it on basses trying to decide if I want to keep it or not *SOLD*
  21. Got a number of PMs and a few interested parties but nothing concrete yet.
