  1. Due to impending baby arrival I am selling my Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazz. I bought this exactly a year ago and it has become my main gigging bass, usurping considerably more expensive Fenders in that role. However I have to make room for the baby and generate some dosh so it is up for sale. As I have used it for gigging it has a bit of buckle rash on the back, but otherwise is in fine condition, no dings or dents. £230 collected from Chipping Norton
  2. I have been looking for this sort of thing for ages so sign me up. Would it be possible to request a batch done in black to go with barefaced?
  3. For sale, all come with boxes and include postage Boss Looper RC-2 £[b]90[/b] Boss Blues Driver BD-2 [b]£50[/b] Boss Equalizer GE-7 [b]£35[/b] Boss Bass Equalizer GEB- [b]SOLD[/b]
  4. I have had this amp since the late 90s and it has seen quite a bit of use, but still in fine working order. Comes with the gig bag for a very portable live solution. Collect from Chipping Norton [b]£300[/b]

  6. I have recently invested in a Maxon CP9 pro+ It is a satisfyingly heavy little box that has so far manged to give me a really balanced sound without zingyness going from Jazz Bass to Orange Terror Bass, I am impressed so far, not leasted by the low noise- even with the gain up. Not cheap, but compressors seem to be one of those pedals where you get what you pay for.
  7. I have owned both a Terror Bass and a UK made Little Bastard and I had them at the same time. Ultimately I sold the LB and kept the OTB. There wasn't really much that the LB could do that the OTB couldn't. I also couldn't really see the point in the LB, it was a bit overkill for home practice, too quiet for any sized gig and not versatile enough for studio rehearsal. The OTB is an incredible piece of equipment. The thing that got me about the LB was that it felt a bit cheap and it was overly bulky for a little amp.

I used to like the idea of a Roadworn, but recently I played on the same bill as a band of 16 year-olds, all were playing Roadworns and it just looked ridiculous.
  9. [quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1347905101' post='1806486'] I thought this was going to be a 'Aren't all bass players into dungeon porn?' thread. Is that just me? [/quote] +1
  10. [quote name='Cyrene' timestamp='1346340202' post='1788058'] Beautiful. Thought the '57 RI had the slightly wider 44mm nut. [/quote] I don't think that's the case for MIJ reissues, at least it isn't for the two I have.
  11. I think it is original, at least it is the one that came with it when I bought it.
  12. MIJ Fender '57 reissue Precision Bass Daphne Blue (I think, although it looks quite green as well) Fender 50th anniversary sticker on the back of the headstock. Wizard Thumper pickups Buckle rash on the back, probably caused by a buckle. [b]£400[/b] if you can collect from West Oxfordshire Plenty of my dead skin on the strings- I will throw this in for free.
  13. The main reason I sold it was the weight. I thought it would be a nice light cab to partner with a LB, but it was just too heavy and bulky, definitely 15kg.
  14. [quote name='DanPMiller' timestamp='1334676698' post='1619581'] You still flogging this? Bearing in mind you can get it for £190 new, £190 secondhand is out of the question! [/quote] I sold this a long time ago, sorry I should have revised the thread.
  15. [quote name='skinzz' timestamp='1323243960' post='1460870'] I quite like the look of the roger walters p bass [/quote] Then you should buy a roger walters p bass (or the Squier Matt Freeman precision). Looks are everything.
  16. [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1323170411' post='1459972'] Another thing to remember is that your first bass is the one that falls over after you leaned it against an amp, or falls out of a case that wasn't closed properly , gets 3/4 pint of Stella spilled over it etc,etc. [/quote] True. Some of us don't learn though.
  17. Don't forget to set aside a few £££ for GAS, or "backup bass" which is the current de rigueur term.
