I like Ibanez,I still have a roadster rs900 lovely bass very heavy but I couldn't part with it.
Also have a RDGR bass very versatile and sounds good.
An SR1000e 1987 soundgear quality bass
And an SR505
I'd have no qualms gigging any of them and I picked them all up for reasonable prices so I'm not complaining.

My bb614 is the same,but sounds fine so hasn't really bothered me.

this seems a good deal classic vibe jazz [url="http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/squier-classic-vibe-60s-jazz-bass-inca-silver"]http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/squier-classic-vibe-60s-jazz-bass-inca-silver[/url]

Yes I would have thought truss rod adjustment at the heel would be on a reissue,not sure what type of tuners it should have also

did my first gig for about 16 years yesterday.
was great to play a gig again.

I bought a cheap bb614 and really liked it, so I bought a bb424x then a bb1000s and I prefer the neck of the 614 over the other two. I sold the bb424x

there is talk these ones were made in the tokai factory i dont know if thats true mines a 1981 and its a well made bass with a lovely low action with some serious punch and sustain and its lightweight also

ive got one of those lovely japanese hondo,fitted a seymour duncan spb1 to mine i really like it flat eric has one on his website>[url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/hondo-professional.html"]http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/hondo-professional.html[/url]

it looks like the pickups bridge and backplate are all new and it sems to have woodscrews in the back of the tuners
i dont think its worth anything like whats been bid on it.

trace 400smx and cabs bargain at £150[url="https://www.gumtree.com/p/speakers-monitors/trace-elliot-rah400smx-bass-amp-2-x-10-1-x-15-speakers/1196455505"]https://www.gumtree.com/p/speakers-monitors/trace-elliot-rah400smx-bass-amp-2-x-10-1-x-15-speakers/1196455505[/url]

sorry mine is the bvt4500 my mistake

ive got one of these and i have removed it from its casing as far as i remember just took all the screws out and pushed it out the back of the case?
i know it wasnt too difficult so maybe yours is caught on something.

i remember being at school and buying ride the lightning and kill em all on picture disc, it sounded so new to me back then,hair metal was the norm this seemed so good different to the other stuff around happy days.

most ive spent is £500 once on a fender hot rod precision when andertons where selling them off and again £500 on my rivertone stradobass both great basses sadly i sold the hot rod was a very good bass

hope so mate should be fine,now buy your self a nice one from here

my bitsa's
white slab body has 2 piece body i forget which wood either ash or alder
usa precision pickup mirror scratchplate and an encore neck which is quite hefty it's not totally finished as it isnt laquered yet will get round to it at some point total cost around £150 mark

second the black bass made from parts i had around, squier indonesian neck with wilkinson 70s style tuners
sunn mustang body with a gotoh dimarzio style pickup and scratchplate from a silver series squier precision cost hard to work out as i had all the parts around

third candy apple bass with squier classic vibe jazz neck,usa p bass body, wizard thumper pickup, usa jazz bridge pickup,vintage fender bridge wired as a fender hot rod precision courtesy of fender support wiring diagrams cost around £200
these all sound the part and the candy apple has a very funky sound

mine too must'nt grumble for £2 works fine

im still waiting sure it will turn up at some point

yeah i think he should've told you about the frets, as they look a bit rough and like you say original parts for it would'nt be cheap now, so for what you paid i think maybe he should give you a partial refund or if not a full refund as you dont sound that impressed with it.
buying off the internet is always taking a chance but if i buy from a shop or a company i always feel if it's not as described i can return it.

i didnt have a refret just a fret stone, i thought it might it need a refret but luckily it didnt
it had some major wear but theres life in the old dog yet.

yeah its not a 9 out of 10 is it but if its original and just needs some fretwork could be worse
i had my my yamaha bb1000s frets done recently, they were very worn but there perfect now £50 it cost me but the luthier did say it would need a refret next time but i have never worn any frets badly so should last me many a year.

my rivertone stradobass

i think the earlier ones all have truss rod adjustment at the heel of the neck whereas this one is headstock end by the looks of it

i had a 1998 Hot Rod Precision i had to sell when i was skint had a lovely maple neck was so easy to play, i miss that bass
