Hi all... Am after a budget 5, and love the look of the Affinity 5 string Jazz. Anyone own/played one? Haven't had a chance to play one myself yet. All comments welcome! Thanks Graeme

Definately not - haven;t ever been happy with expensive basses - cheapies for me all the way now. I do experience snobbery as i set my gear up sometimes from fellow muso's who see my OLP MM and Squier P - but my playing always wins over :-)

Great thread! My OLP MM - best 70 quid I ever spent!

Build quality on the couple i have played have been great, but never got on with the pickup positioning and (for me) was not a slapping friendly bass Great sounds though Cheers Graeme

Hi all, Anyone know which Hipshot d_tuner/Xtender will fit on a Classic Vibe 60's P Bass? Thanks Graeme

yamaha attitude for me please, sea foam green or Candy Apple Red

Personally I've not had good experiences with Peavey basses and have never played one that has felt inspiring or special....but ,maybe yours may be the chosen one!! If you like it and it feels right...get it!! Good luck Graeme

Hi Matt. My only advise would be try as many basses as you can before purchasing, as this may save disappointment down the line. I don,t have one myself, but Lakland basses are an excellent purchase. Good luck with your Bass Quest! Graeme

anyone got, or played one? Have taken a shine to one on Evilbay!

have you warned the neighbours? Have a nice evening, guessing the wife has gone out??? Enjoy.

I see Gaga's bassist was wielding a Big Al as usual..

Thanks

Anybody know what model this is??

Thanks Graeme

The necks are glossed & the bridge is a high mass affair (a blockier version of the new Fender bridge.) They're also made in a new Chinese factory where the quality control seems to be second to none, whereas the VMJ's are made in the Korean Cort factory. All in all they're really nice & at that price, if you want to put in some really serious pickups, it's one of those basses that's definitely worth it. These are going to be a future classic.[/quote] +1 - i have nothing but praise for the CV basses

so it is just me then...ho hum.

..that loves when a known player has a new, or changes their signature bass? In my L42 days, i loved when MK appeared with a new Jaydee/Status (imagine my excitement when he moved to Fender ..although the bass was a bit pants). Currently GAS'ing for a Yammie Attitude and a Pino Custom Shop. I just love players signature models...any one else like me? (please?) Graeme

Nice

[/quote] Great bit of kit dude - got my normal amp back today and immediately dialled in some great sounds. Have another beer and order one! Cheers Graeme

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='864748' date='Jun 11 2010, 10:17 PM']If you read the text, you'll find out that the "MARK KING" is only on Mark's personal basses. Production models will have two red star LED's at the 12th. As for "bling", you can switch LED's off, you know [/quote] Text was fully read and understood. Still not to my taste...and that Mark King led IS hideous, whoever the bass belongs to!. LED's are an expensive option to switch off...! Not status bashing at all, i'm a fan, but this one is not to my taste Peace and Love Graeme

Too much on one bass for me (i loved my own Kingbass) - great for a one off, but not as a production bass...and that Mark King LED is hideous.
