So I have a couple of overdrives, tuner, phaser, and a DI out. All on a pedle board Are these best in the effects loop of the Ashdown (soon to be range bass terror) or is in the chan ok ? Best to try them in both I guess and see if you can hear a difference

On my Ashdown and on many other Amps I look at there's an effects loop. Since playing guitat through vintage amps I have always put all my pedles in a chain from my guitar to the amp input. What is the benifit of using a seperate loop ? All I can see is that you increase the number of cables on stage from 1 to 3 ?

[quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1373921566' post='2143288'] I'd try a Nitro guitar first, I found it an awfully 'crumbly' finish that marks extremely easily - I hear no difference between nitro & poly. [size=4]I like to look after my stuff obsessively, so I prefer poly because it doesn't mark up, stays looking new & is much less sticky on my hands/forearm - no dings!! So holds the (modern) instrument's value better.[/size] [/quote] I had an original finish 1961 Jazzmaster in Olympic White with gold hardware and it was just a lovely thing. Properly roadworn, with dings marks, lots of finish wear and it just felt like it had lived. I want to start to recreate this with my next bass. I foolishly sold the Jazzmaster for peanuts in the mid 1990's

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1373921002' post='2143274'] I seen the history of heavy metal which was a series that showed different genres every episode. Is this the same show you are talking about? [/quote] Yep that's the one. Just watched Glam Metal. Not my bag at all but still a thoroughly enjoyable hour.

Ah yes the post 2006 Highways

For some reason I have it in my head that my next bass must be nitro finished. So what options does this give me ? I'll be buying second hand so not too important if it's been discontinued. Nitro Finished Fenders - Roadworn (Jazz isn't in coustom colours which is a shame) Classic Series (unworn roadworns) USA 62RI (there's a lovely LPB one in the for sale section) Vintage (a bit out of my price range) Bravewood/Nash/Bitsa custom build Any others ?

After having a baby 4 weeks ago and takeing shift through the night someone suggested I watch this series. 11 1 hour episods on the evolution of metal. Brilliant series if you have any interest in metal at all. 5 hours in and just about to get to Metallica Oh and the best bass for metal ? A P with flats according to Iron Maiden

To go along with her talent she's also much easier on the eye than Mani *sorry Mani if you're reading

I have this issue on my CV. Dropping the bass end of the pickups has helped a little. I can play around it now.

When the Squire CV P adn J's are so goof for only £200 (s/h) there's no need to choose. Have both...That's what I did But the real answer is Jazz

I've been using Fender flats on my Jazz for six months now. Just picked up a CV P with roundwounds on and it's like playing with barbed wire strings Going to use them until they die and then slap some Status Flats on. Flats are like a comfy pair of slippers!

Good call. Spending money get's me earache of the missus. Recycling gets me in her good books

[indent=1]Going to hold on for now and try pick up an Hiscox when one pops up. Currently only taking one bass out at a time so not an issue so far as I can just swap in and out of my current gig bag.[/indent] [indent=1]Cheers for the advice, lots of great case suggestions[/indent]

Just got a new Squier CV P but it came without a case or bag. I'd love a nice Fender Hard case but at over half the price of the Squier it's a bit over kill. Anyone use anything decent for reasonable money?

Ordered! Cheers

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1373479194' post='2138147'] Best ever for a P-bass IMO IME etc.etc. GHS PrecisionFlats, can be got stateside for reasonable money - close second & excellent VFM are Status Hot Wires, about £20 delivered, they feel good, sound good & suit a P superbly. IMPO TI Jazz Flats are great on a Jazz & possibly my favourite strings in the world, but for me they don't suit a P, that's a personal thing I know [/quote] Going to try the Status on my P. What length for a bridge loading P ?

I have a st of the LaBellas with minimal use is anyone wants to try them. Swapsies for a set of metal flats (as in stainless not Slayer)
