Congrats on the WAV derren, they are great instruments for the money, i had one for a while and loved it, but hardly used it, as i played a reading gig on it(i'd only had it three weeks as well) and my intonation was well off i lost my bottle after that and i relly regret selling it, i'll definately get another one (probably an NXT),keep gigging that beastie!!

Congratulations stewart, that is an absolutely stunning example, i absolutely adore ken smiths, and i will have a black tiger 5 one day, when i had my BSR5 MW it worked really well with my EBS HD350 and accugroove cabs as the heads high end worked well with the smiths warmth, and the cabs are very natural sounding, whenever i used mine, i always got compliments on the sound, it's not for everybody but for me its perfect. i set up a smith thread in the gear porn section, get some more pics for us to drool over really glad your dream came true, actually your little story has really cheered me up today- cheers mate

It looks almost olympic white in the pics, i do love sonic blue on a jazz!

That's what it feels like.[/quote] Do you know what! im happy for you thats got to be the best description of a bass tone feeling ever, and listening to your clips it does sound gorgeous!! i'll hopefully be putting an east pre and black beauties on my JV jazz next month. Many congratulations- does this mean an end to GAS

[quote name='nick' post='1142145' date='Feb 26 2011, 10:29 AM'][b]2004 Fender CIJ '62 RI[/b], bought off Lee650 on here some time ago Upgraded tuners, CTS pots, PIO tone cap, Seymour Duncan SPB-1 'Vintage' pickup, covers added.... otherwise standard Strung with La Bella flats. Its not a heavy bass; a nice weight & a lovely neck to play - a good bass for long gigs. [/quote] Its earlier incarnation, i couldnt resist it [attachment=73433:P5250138.JPG][attachment=73434:3238_114..._n.jpg_2.jpg]

Ive just put some chromes on my jazz (used to have some on a P bass i had) as i have a lot of shows coming up that require that thumpy DB tone,(not that it will sound anything like a DB )and as much as i love the sound of flats on a recording, i realy cant get on with the dark,indistinct sound they make live, its not a bad sound just not for me, a nice set of worn sunbeams can get plenty of warmth.

ha ha i know fingerstyle too!!!! brilliant

many thanks chris ive switched over

I absolutely adore my accugroove cabs but the bergantino line has had me interested for a long time, id love to try one, i must ask has the IP series been discontinued? i didnt see the on the website last i looked

First Bass Owned: Vantage (with a dimarzio P pickup ) 'Go To' Bass: Fender jazz (well an 82 squire anyway ) 'Your' Bass: Ken smith BSRMW5 Unfirtuntely i dont have the smith anymore but it is the benchmark for "my sound"

Just noticed this, ill check my gig diary and hopefully will be at the blackburn gig on the 5th
