yeah your right enough, it was just the truss rod that made me think that 

sattelites were probably plywood also

satellite maybe they had that type of trussrod.

Heres my O serial number silver series a great bass

I bought a white/maple V4 cant believe how good it is for the money 

good fixtures and fittings and feels nice and solid without being overweight .

sweet jesus!

Ive got the old fender rumble 100 with the red lights that flash and it seems pretty good so far at band practise,i also have a swr workingmans 12 which i havent had a chance to play at a rehearsal yet.

yeah i had to find out for  myself as i have a bass centre stadium bass guitar with these strings on

dunno if they have been on it from new, but i love the strings and havent changed them in all the years ive owned the bass.

i think there elites stadium strings

No No and thrice No

i had to look up the headphones,a meter you cant see unless you take them off,seems a tad gimmicky.

I think he means your bridge saddles,do they have a locking screw once adjusted?

i like that, looks a quality bass

I think you are being more than reasonable, no one wants to hand over that sort of money without checking the goods.

I remember these,I always remember seeing an advert hohner arbor basses I really wanted one 

ended up with a marlin sidewinder and I remember another fledgling bass player at school owned a columbus which in the right light looked a bit like steve harris's p bass and sounded much sweeter than my bow necked marlin.

all the best get well soon

Also mine does have a narrow neck could be 38mm would have to check

I have a four string pj active jaguar,is actually a really nice bass,the neck has some flame maple,i upgraded it with fender usa p pickup and a entwistle neodymium jazz pickup 

A vintage fender bridge and wilkinson machineheads i really should use it more often 

Might take it to practise next week.

mine is the vintage white also couldnt resist it and im glad I bought it.

i only just bought this live at the bbc album last week and was enjoying this gem RIP Eddie

i have a few cheap basses and guitars and the quality seems really good

my vintage V4 bass is a great bass good fit and finish and it has a lovely low action

for what i paid for it i have to say it really suprised me ,ive owned alot of precision basses but i really like the V4

alnico pickup good machineheads, solid neck no gaps round the neck pocket frets well finished  dont know if i got lucky or there all this good.

I have a 1984 aria sb black n gold 

When you say aria sb black n gold sb1000 do you mean the reissue,or are you after an original black n gold sb?

electro acoustic basses i had two at one time thought they would be good for noodling at home but they just seemed to get in the way

5 string basses have had a couple but nowadays i will just downtune a bass if i need it

heavy cabs sound great but when i see an old trace cab on ebay i remember the weight of my old one and move along

im with you on effects too i went through a time using them but i dont bother much nowadays

i had a CV strat which was nice great feel and sound but i agree about the bodywood it felt a bit lightweight

i also have a 1987 japanese squier strat which to me just feels a bit more solid for my liking so i sold the CV strat

no complaints for what i paid for it was very good fit and finish

Doh!
