Added pics of my new and only bass

Great contributions so far. Keep an eye out on the first post, i'll edit it and add a pic hopefully when my bass arrives!

Thankfully the person I sold my bass to said it arrived ok, I used TNT which I have used about 4 or 5 times before except they were guitars. Everything has arrived great so far. I just hate paying such expensive insurance charges every time!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1320261158' post='1424579'] That is just so cool! I dont think Im cool enough to play it you know, Is there a test or something when you buy it? [/quote] Funny you should say that, I've always thought sunburst thunderbirds ooze cool too!

So I can't really find a thread about this, I'm very curious to see peoples number 1 bass. You know, only save 1 from a burning building type. Pics preferably. At the moment I don't have any bass! But when I get the one I just ordered I'll post. Let's see em! [color=#ff0000]Edit[/color]: It's a first year 1982 Fullerton 57 reissue P bass. They are basically custom shop quality. This one weighs 6.2lbs. [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/600/82pbass.jpg/"][/url]

Every single suggestion here is spot on

If you get the chance, go to a music shop. Heck, perhaps you might decide on which bass you like all together! Necks are a pretty big deal to me so you could try a few there too.

Sold a Stingray to Grahame, paid straight away. Would definately reccomend!

Hi guys, to follow up - I ordered the rip off insurance. If anything happened, it's too big of a risk for a loss I can afford (i'd essentially be bassless! ). At least I'll have a better peice of mind now. I saved the live chat log where a support representative clearly states I'm covered for all damage up to £100 loss of item £1000. It's fairly well packed so I doubt I'll get any damage, unless they drive a forklift truck over it! Cheers.

To be honest, I think I might get it covered in the morning. I'd be broke and basses if anything happens. Thanks all.

I need to decide what to do before tomorrow, it's driving me crazy! Thanks for the help so far guys.

So I just sold a bass on here, didn't get insurance cover for £30 on top of £10 I paid... now I'm paranoid TNT might lose my parcel. Just wondering what other people do. I need to know before tomorrow though as that's collection day, I still can cover it. Cheers.

[quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1320084734' post='1422124'] There's (or was?) a lovely US made Ampeg B100R in the marketplace which I would snap up if I didn't already have a B50R. £200 - US made, valve preamp, 15" driver, ported. Lovely thing - even loud enough to play with a drummer. I often use the one at a studio we use. They sound great at low volume too. A future classic. Great / flexible EQ and changing the valve in the pre has quite a profound effect the tone. If you're set on a '51, the MIJ ones are the ones I reckon, rather than the Squiers. [/quote] Good suggestion for an amp, they can be found regularly, cheaply and they are decent! Not sure they can get a MiJ 51 too though. I'd get a squier 51 and change the pickup on it for the budget.

People really do job lots of instruments? Guess I've learnt something today

That fretless stingray looks amazing!

Squier classic vibe or vintage modified, check out epiphone or ibanez too.
