Always like the look of those basses and it's a stunner in that colour combination! [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1451912523' post='2944449'] Ibanez don't seem to have a decent following, but this really is a Stingray on a budget.[/quote] I think they really do have a more than decent following and a reputation for well made basses that really punch above their weight in terms of value. Stingray comparisons aside, I know these are always compared to them but I think they've got such a great look and sound. That you can pickup a bass like that for less than £300 is crazy!

Great stuff and such a ballsy tone!

Guitar spares & repairs in the jewellery quarter, great guys who do top quality work, really rate them.

Ahhh man, I saw the thread title, obviously it's been coming but f*^! what a punch in the gut that is Maybe the loudest band I ever saw and he absolutely owned that stage. Noone who saw him will ever forget Lemmy, a proper legend RIP

Changes I get used to pretty quickly, animated ones are super annoying though, must check to see if there's a browser based way of blocking them. Actually that was surprisingly easy to block, whinge withdrawn!

Yeah, you've done a way better job than Line 6 in design terms. Really great job, it looks fantastic

[quote name='sbrag' timestamp='1427548189' post='2731628'] I got an encore p bass in a job lot of stuff I bought a while ago and was surprised by it. it was very playable and had a decent tone For a cheap bass. I sold it on for £50 cos i didn't need it but it was a perfectly good for a stater and I was tempted to keep it as a back up. [/quote] I dug mine out recently, E83 precision copy and my first bass. Despite having sat in a cupboard for 15 odd years it required surprisingly little effort to get it playing well. Have to say other than its obscene weight it feels and sounds really good. I'm so glad I dug it out, used it at a couple of rehearsals for the fun of it and it really is a decent bit of kit.

Glad your situation is looking up, having a recording to backup your points helps so much in these situations. Hopefully he'll realise that what you're trying to do will make him sound better as well as the band. It seems a lot of people just listen to their own contribution not the band as a whole or their fellow band members. I'd stressed to my lot that our singer is flat and there are a couple of songs where he pushes his voice and it just sounds awful. Someone invited a mate along to record a rehearsal a few weeks back and they sacked the singer the next day. I wanted to work with him to improve like you are with your guitarist

The shape just looks like the side profile of a whale and I can't get passed that look. That green one is nice though, seems like its half way between a les paul and a single cut.

They really do, the matching headstock only makes things better as well. Congrats OP, that's a lovely bass!

Same, I'd polish off my Christmas dinner and happily head to rehearsal! Happy Christmas BC'ers, I've learned so much ab out gear and playing on this site, so much gear I'd never heard of that I've had the chance to try. A lot of great people who generously share their time and experience thank you and have a great Christmas!

Guys leave it out, I've been in touch with Duff and he said it was his bass, as can be seen this excerpt from our conversation. "Bass was mine and I forgot to tell you but you are wicked sexy!" "See you later, luv from Duffles!" Buy with confidence!

Must be a relief, glad things are looking up!

I know these are well thought of on here, this ones nowt to do with me but looks solid for the money. [url="http://www.intone8.co.uk/peavey-t40-vintage-bass-197981/"]http://www.intone8.co.uk/peavey-t40-vintage-bass-197981/[/url]

Of course, I've heard great players make poor instruments sing, bad players sound like bad players regardless of their instrument's quality. I love GAS though, I don't have unrealistic expectations about high end instruments improving me I just love getting to try all the gear I can. I know it won't make me play like Bobby Vega but waiting for a new bass to turn up makes me feel like a kid at Christmas and I'm happy to spend a few quid (or more) for that

It'd be the Yamaha BB for me. They really do punch above their weight for what they cost, lovely sounding, great looking and well built.

Nearly bought one as a backup not too long ago. They look good, sound good and seem to have a really great spec for the money.

Neck looks legit, as do the upgraded Pups. Can't see enough of the body to comment but the lack of cutaway for truss rod access would have me questioning the origin of the body. The buzzy E string issue should be solved with a good setup or nut adjustment.

I really hope Martin can put the bass right for you. I can sort of see where Hans is coming from but I though better of Warwick than that and would hope that they would stand by the quality of their product rather than quote that ludicrous amount for the repair/resto.

Mates and myself decided we should start a band, wan't really into six strings, shifting drums seemed like a ball ache so bass was what I went with. It was a great decision

There's a long running thread on the Musicman boards, post the serial there and they'll give you some info. Usually very quick about it. Would love to see a pic, the bass sounds lovely!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449602714' post='2925112'] You drop a torpedo like "aimless noodling" on Jaco and didn't expect it to tick some of us off? Blue [/quote] To be fair, you're the only one who seems to have taken it personally. Maybe he was trolling, maybe he didn't understand the high regard in which JP is held and wanted to educate himself. Either way telling him to give up bass is a bit much.

&*$" the bed! that's genuinely one of the coolest basses I've ever seen

Sounds as good as looks! mind blowing value for money
