Hello everyone! Here is a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz bass loaded body for sale. It is near mint (I cant find a flaw in it but don't want to describe it as mint just in case!). Pickguard, bridge and pickups included. It has a KiOgon wiring kit installed too. Perfect if you have a bitsa Jazz in mind! Polka dot tablecloth not included! £90 posted. Thanks for looking!

I sent John a message about grounding kits. Instead of trying to sell me one he asked what the issue was, gave me advice on how to fix it (it worked) and sent some foil out free of charge! Legend!

Bar Gigging, Why Do We Love It? / Why do We Hate It?
interpol52 replied to blue's topic in General Discussion
If I look back at all the gigs I have done, from the Hammersmith Apollo to the Slug and Lettuce then I can put gigging into some kind of perspective. I like everything up until the last note is played, good crowd or bad crowd, bad sound or good. There tends to be something that you have a good natter about after, and isn't that what its all about? The bad gigs make the good ones feel even better. -
I like the last one. My favourite bass at the moment is a Squier VM Jazz. It seems like if we just go by the sound of the VM Squiers then they are difficult to knock. The thing I have found though is that if you look at build quality and the overall finish, then you start to see where the difference is. In no way though is there an £900 difference in a Squier VM Jazz and a USA Standard. Just my opinion.

Manic Street Preachers - Gold Against the Soul. Not their best work by any means but the bass tone, especially on Sleepflower, is amazing to my ears. Sugar - Copper Blue. Good old P bass with a pick. A Good Idea has a nice bass tone on the intro.

I had one of these in the mid nineties. I played it through a Trace rig. It was a great sounding setup. Did a gig once at The Duchess in Leeds and even the soundguys complimented the bass sound. That doesn't happen very often does it?!

Jimi has just bought my Orange Terror Bass 500. He is by far the coolest person I have encountered on basschat when buying or selling. Why? Well, thanks to Parcelforce the amp head didn't work when he received it, orange light on but no sound. I received a really friendly message from Jimi telling me about the condition of the amp and that he was going to get it checked out and then let me know what the issue was. I was gutted and assured him that the amp was working before shipping because I had tested it and he was fine and agreed that the issue must have arisen in transit. So Jimi went to get the head checked out, I sent him a spare valve just in case that might be the problem. Turns out it was just a loose connection, maybe vibrations or movement in transit had caused it. Anyway, no stress from Jimi, he took it all in his stride and was a gent throughout. He restored my faith in basschat to 100%, especially after a particularly negative experience earlier this year. To top it all off, his band are amazing. I am hoping to go see the Orange in action with them in November. Cheers Jimi!

Went down to Grantham today to pick up a pristine Little Mark 3. Had good coffee and a good chat with Richard and his wife, two of the nicest people you could wish to meet! Sorry my little boy was a bit grumpy! Thank you!

Nik has just bought a Zoom B3 from me. Great all round! Thanks mate!

I have found that if we were already mates before the band got together then we usually continue to be friends after. If we became friends as a result of being in a band then the friendship is not quite as close after. I have never been in a band with someone I don't like, or someone who is on a different page musically. That's the most pretentious thing I have ever written by the way.

Bump!

Now sold.

Still available!

PRICE DROP £260!!! Hi everyone Need to get something that doesn't loosen my house bricks so I am selling this amp head. It's crazy loud [size=4]and sounds amazing when cranked with a band but I am taking a break from bands for a while so want something that is a bit more manageable at home at lower volumes.[/size] Its been gigged so not pristine but in good condition. It has the matching gig bag thing too. £260 collected , I am in Wakefield, couple of miles off J38 of the M1. I don't really want to post it, I'm guessing it will be about £20 though at a push! I am open to trades, could put a bit of cash your way too for the right amp - wouldn't mind a TC RH450 or a Markbass Little Mark. Thanks for looking! Julian

Hi everyone £75 posted price drop!! Bought this a couple of months ago from a fellow basschatter. Its a genius piece of kit! I need to get some cash together for my new GAS condition so I am having a clearout of things. I will post pics this evening, in the meantime here is the link to the ad that I bought from. Its in used condition as you can see but functions perfectly. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/240170-sold-zoom-b3/page__p__2534484__hl__zoom__fromsearch__1#entry2534484"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2534484[/url] My pics, sorry about the quality of the PSU one. You can see it has velcro on the back in pick 4. [attachment=174556:zoom1.jpg] [attachment=174557:zoom2.jpg] [attachment=174558:zoom3.jpg] [attachment=174559:zoom4.jpg] [attachment=174560:zoom5.jpg] I dont have the box or the original USB cable or the software CD. Included will be a replacement cable I purchased, the software can be downloaded from the Zoom website (it will be more up to date than the original software sold with the unit too). If you like I could try putting the software on a CD to send with the unit. Thanks for looking! Julian

The blue and green albums were great, Pinkerton is one of my favourite records of all time. Maladroit was the beginning of the end for me and I always felt like they changed from that point on. Then that song Beverley Hills totally killed it for me. It seemed like a novelty song in the same way as Pretty Fly for a White Guy was for The Offspring. Still like the first 3 records though!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1409674055' post='2542110'] Darcy with her stingray in 1992 was basically my idea of heaven, these days I think I'd rather have a go on her stingray though, lol. Anyone know what type of bass Billy used in the studio? I guess must good studios in the 90s had a P, J and MM knocking around, or something totally different.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1409592159' post='2541276'] Of course to get the real Darcy tone you need either Billy Corgan to play the parts on who knows what type of bass? Or her other lesser known P or J option [/quote] Haha! Good point! There is some footage on youtube of them doing Ava Adore on Jools Holland, the bass sound on that during the first verse is amazing! I liked Darcy, they never were the same without her, she looks a bit funny now mind...

This is a general outline of my relationship with the Precision and Jazz bass- January - Yep, I am a definitely a P bass man. February - this Jazz is awesome, it's definitely my go to bass now. March - Aw man this P is amazing, flats and foam! April - Heavy Weather! What an album! Where's my Jazz bass?.... May - Sugar Copper Blue, wow! Now that is why the P bass is my favourite bass of all. June - I hear Evil by Interpol, that Jazz rocks! July - 'Whats Goin On' playing on Radio 2.... August - I just found some Smashing Pumpkins bass tracks on YouTube... September - Bobby Vega... October - Wow look! Bob Dylan with a Jazz bass! They really are aesthetically pleasing. November - I just rehearsed with the P bass and I heard every note of every song coming through the mix - P bass forever. December - Ooh look! That Jazz on basschat for sale is cool, I am having it... (Divorce lawyer on the horizon) Repeat year upon year upon year!
