I have done a bass trade with Martyn, damn nice fella! right from the word go there was great communication and clarity, it goes without saying i would have no worries about any future transactions. All the best, Cheers, Simon.

Thank you Thunderbird, I shall have a look at that as well. .

Thanks Nash, ....one I hadn,t spotted with tuner option aswell, I was looking at Mooer Micro but having just looked at the Radial I,m thinking that,s the one like. Good to have hands on recommendations! Even with something simple like switch pedals there is a lot of gear to look at! Cheers and all the best. Simon.

Hi, I,m playing EUB in the band I,m with....now adding electric bass, can anyone recommend a A-B switch pedal? I just had a look around Thomann Cyberstore and there are rather a lot of them....does anyone use one of these? Just want to switch from EUB to bass during the set. Thanks, Simon.

I guess I shall give the bits to my guitar man and let him do his thing! If they don,t fit, one shall purchase new shiny ones! Having just checked the tuner hole I got between 17-18mm. Must be in with a shout with that! Once again i thank you for your time and advice. I shall now go and look at some pre ampy stuff on here, Cheers, Simon.

More options, great! I was initially going to buy a graphite neck from Status.... I like the neck on my Energy, but then with fitting... cost... A question I must ask is would the tuners on the above pictured headstock be a straight swap onto jazz - precision ? I don,t want to assume they will fit out of ignorance! cheers.

That's great....and they do precision to. I,m gonna have go on my mates precision for a couple of days and see how It feels, either way a top option to have.......better than scratching around Eblah! Thanks.

Excellent.......and thanks for that, there is a very very thin shim in the neck in the pocket. Individual necks don,t seem to crop up to often.....however I do have my eye on a squier jazz one right now! Cheers.

Hi, I thought I,d try and seek some advice, I believe from the serial number (JV42861) this bass I have is a 1982-84 Squier or Fender squier? Thing is It has a Tokai oldies but goldies lined fretless neck on it ! The guy I use to do the odd bit of work on my basses says it has a slight bow in the middle of the neck, it still plays well (does not get played enough), in tune all the way up the neck but I want to put a fretted precision or jazz neck on it. I would like to know if modern Squier necks can be recommended ? I have see a Squier jazz neck for sale...... i,m itching to get playing this bass live! Many thanks, Simon.

[quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1380377429' post='2224487'] Just found out that tonights gig is a 'ticket do' so in order to attend there are one or two options:- 1. Offer to buy a ticket at the door. 2. Blag about being a special guest of the band and entitled to special entry price. 3. Agent needing to be there for vetting of the band for future gigs and, again, requiring reduced (or free) entry. 4. Pose as road crew - this would involve you (and presumably Mrs. SF) dressing in baggy combat shorts (regardless of climate), wearing old black T-shirts carrying 'gear' logo (usually Marshall or Zildjian), tool bag/belt (with nothing of any use), a degree of facial hair which does not quite equal a proper beard or 'tach, and of course a pony tail. Good luck. H. [/quote] Ney bother, options 2,3,4 would be worth trying just for a crack! I,ll go for option 1, I,m sure they can squeeze us in, be rude not to try! It kinda pans out in that the beer is cheap!! Thanks and hope to catch up this eve.

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1380373720' post='2224422'] We were a couple of minutes' walk from the FBI but it seemed to be closed all the time we were there. We have eaten there before, and the seafood was good. This time we spent every evening in the Coach at Lesbury, probably the best food I have eaten anywhere. [/quote] Thinking about it the FBI was being refurbished.....maybe that was the reason. I,ll make note of the Coach at Lesbury for food, Had a listen to you guys on soundcloud, like the sounds Dave.....Fender American Standard Jazz Bass 2008 in Blizzard Pearl !! very good. If I get a good couple of months work under my belt and it,s still there! Cheers.

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1380374214' post='2224428'] You know, normally I'd welcome people. But this!!! Four basses? FOUR BASSES????? For starters, you'd need a Jazz if you play Jazz music or other music. Then, you can't do without a Bongo if you play African music or other music. Evidently, a Funkmaster is needed, both for funk and for other music. Additionally, you can't do without a Precision if you're into precise music or other music. Obviously, a RockBass ... The list goes on and on.... 16 different model names at the very least. Then you need all of those basses in 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-string versions. Then, you can't do without both fretted and fretless versions of all of them. Have you ever realised that short scale basses have different overtone spectra, and thus are essential so you don't always have the same timbre? So the least you're gonna need are 16 times 4 times 2 times 2 basses .... so let's say 150 basses so we also cover EUBs and those acoustic thingies.... For starters! (Me, I'll have 72 Bongos in a few years. Just watch me...) Oh, and welcome I guess... best, bert [/quote] Thanks for that Bert, it,s reassuring to know. I have a JV squire jazz but it has a Tokai jazz fretless neck on it!! I found it in a studio and bought it for £70 but it plays so well! I need for a jazz fretted coz I love the sound and the necks....I guess USA, MIM all necks must differ? I,ll have to put this into a different forum for questioning. Hmmm, Dave has one for sale....nice! I played a mates 5 string not long ago, very good....made a note of that, I now realise that I can,t sell what I have to buy....I,d miss them to much, besides, they do get played. Man, Bert, just got to get some more money earned! Cheers.
