Yuch yuch yuch!...but I bet it plays like a beaut. Look, no wear on the truss nut and its way out flush..just like mine from the same year. Cleaned up that will be a fab bass. Gimmee...

Turn the amp up a lot more more and play very.. vereeee gently..you'll feel much better and it'll do your technique the power of good.

Hi peeps, Fifty year old bassist available here. Prefer soul, funk, blues, classic rock, but will do anything if needed. Rehearsals are no probs and I have my own transport. Reasonable gear, not the Fender in photo, but would just love an excuse to get something better. Ha...the picture caught me with a nasty, sweaty, chest infection...toughest gig I had ever done, but looking much better now...lol [attachment=45667:band.JPG] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxgJN0Sf0_o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxgJN0Sf0_o[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joqNFffOf24"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joqNFffOf24[/url] Cheers Ian

Ah but not a low Eb....

Seen it many times...and will see it many more. Every time Im staggered at just how cool and relaxed he looks, the guy is a real gifted musician, no fuss, no look at me, its as if he's simply saying..."well, Im just the bass player really" Rog, Pete and Keith are the band.........stunning.

Apparently pro-players prefer 5's cause brass sections like to play everything in Eb... Anyway getting back to the old bass thing....My 71 sunburst P wears a gorgeous deep red guard, and chunky neck.....not necessarily a great player etc but sounds fantastic and boy does it look good........Im happy.

Fender are pulling a fast one here I think. Sure the thin top coat is fragile ol nitro, but it sits atop a rock hard coat of poly sealer. Hardly true to a 60's finish.

Hi Guys, So you like MY..... Daphne Blue Highway eh!. But seriously. It is an early one and I personally think they are more attractive than the current 70's pretender lookalike thingy. I Looked at a 07 last year and that thin 'nitro' finish is I reckon cheap and nasty, it was heavy too. Reason Im selling, well I think Id still like to check out a custom shop or time machine model. I did try a 62 RI last year and the neck felt a lot chunkier than the skinny Hwy neck, which is more my thing. Anyways good luck with the bidding, as you can see its a great looking piece. Note

IW16, Hi. Great info. I'll take that onboard. Ian (thother one)

Well, cab wise I was looking at the Dr Bass series which is keenly priced. I cant afford two cabs so one will have to do. I guess as a minimum upgrade 350@4ohm would be about right. I like the look of the B2RE - 450@4ohm, but what about the little B1-RE 300@4ohm. Would the smaller amp be any improvement over my Hartke. Thks

Ok thks, Im not a pro player, but after years of playing through so so gear which mainly comprised of any old 15's I could lay my hands on, Im gonna take the plunge and invest in a 2x12 4ohm 800watt cab. Im not looking for any more volume I just want to be sure Ive got an amp thats not working too hard, or am I coming at this from the wrong direction. Ian

Does anyone have any experience of these amps. I need a 3 to 500watt upgrade from my Hartke 2500 and they look niceley made and good value, but what do they sound like? Thks Note

Hi R they smooth or coarse? Im looking for a nice set of rounds which feel nice on the fingers. Note

Bassist available, all styles, 47 yrs old currently working on rig upgrade, good shape with plenty of hair and... own teeth!. Note

RM, Do U have a price list for the Dr bass cabs. Note

RM, Where can U gate Dr Bass in the UK? Note.

Im in the running for a small light powerful cab, but only have up to 400 pounds to spend. The Bergie and Epiphani stuff looks good and just within budget. Does anyone know which set up will give the best low end, and projection. Thks to all Note.

Usual story here. Had two chums who played guitar, both better than me so guess who ends up with only for strings. Our first tentative jam was I think Smoke on the Water, put together in my freinds pongy... pintsize bedroom. That was back in 1976. Great memories.
