IMHO the cases looked better that the basses. Wondered [s]who would buy this rubbish [/s]what the market id for this sort of thing, its not a good bass (for £10k anyway) and if there are 125 of four different models it's hardly exclusive collectable art. Strangely though, the day before I saw them I was thinking to myself..if only I could get Banksy to paint my bass I could probably write my own cheque. [/quote] If you know Banksy well enough to paint your bass get him to do a canvas instead. You could write a much much bigger cheque

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1374485793' post='2149129'] Take a look at this, being a 62 Reissue can`t imagine it`s that much different to a 63. This one is a great bass: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/211984-fender-62-reissue-usa-p-bass-with-added-62-reissue-jazz-pup/"]http://basschat.co.u...issue-jazz-pup/[/url] [/quote] Thanks, I've seen that one but I'm a bit OCT when it comes to non stock parts

The Beatles are one band who I foolishly assumed to be bog standard bass lines. I was wrong

Mmm played a 63 Reissue (AVRI) in PMT Leeds yesterday. Olympic white with mint plate. It was the absolute nuts, nice nitro finish. At £1700 a bit too rich for me though. Anone got a nice s/h at a bargain price they want to sort me out with

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1374399232' post='2148261'] Or build one yourself! [/quote] I can't really find a P I love with nitro finish for reasonable money so this might be a possibility. Fugazi Pino CS sort of thing maybe. Or burgundy mist! Mmmmm

I think what you really mean is "Buy another P and have flats on one and rounds on the other"

I'm rethinking wether to put flats on it now ? Tone was good last night, would flats drop it out of the mix instead of the presence I had last night ?

After playing a Jazz for the last 18 months (and guitar before that) I used my new P bass at tonight's rehearsal and I was blown away. It sat in the mix really nicely. Growled when it needed to and sounded great on most songs. This was with rounds and I've been using flats for the last year. On the flip side my fingers are suffering. I was all set to spend some money on and expensive Jazz might hold off now and see which I prefer in a month or so.

Think I'm set on a Roadworn as bang for buck they seem a really good s/h buy. Unless an AVRI 62 comes along to tempt me

You lot are making me sad. I sold my olympic white with matching h/s 1961 Jazzmaser in the mid 90's for buttons an have regretted it ever since

I have a set of Labella black nylon tapewounds that are too short to go on my P base if anyone fancies a set for a shorter scale bass ?

You didn't "damage" it you "relic'd" it. I'll be worth more now /glass half full

Just to let you all know there is a pleasant, attractive girl that works in PMT in Leeds This thread is getting all a bit 70's sitcom now

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1373975352' post='2143703'] If it's not contributing anything to the sound of the bass and is only there other than to supply a DI feed to the PA don't have it in the main signal path. Run it from a post EQ line out on the amp instead. Doesn't your amp already have a DI out? If the front end of your amp doesn't have any valves then a gain pedal won't really do anything other than make the signal louder. They work properly with valves because they drive the valves harder and therefore giving you more nice sounding valve distortion, but the sound of transistors being driven hard isn't anywhere near as nice. It might be worth trying again with the OBT, but don't use it as a DI because then the signal to the PA won't benefit from any of that nice valve tone from the amp. [/quote] It's at teh end of the path just incase the amp goes down. I can tehn DI to the PA and still use my effects (in theory, never had to try in anger luckly) Thanks for all your advice btw!

It's the Beringer BDI21 one. I got it mainly as a gain pedal but it doesnt give enough breakup on the Ashdown so I only have it as an emergency DI.

It's available on the On Demand box set thingy that Sky have now. Under the Sky Arts feed thingy.

Ashdown is solid state. Not using the EQ on the DI box at the moment. Guess they will be ok in the chain until I get a valve pre amp on the OBT
