  1. Ive just had the pleasure of dealing with Dave for the second time!!! Ive just bought his lovely MIA fretless fender jazz, for a very good price i might add arrived exactly when i requested and was expertly packed and sent in a lovely posh hardcase, he even threw in a spare scratchplate (will keep the nice tort one though) a great bloke to deal with and chat too, and will happily deal with again. thankyou Dave your a gentleman!! cheers - lee
  2. [quote name='Beneath It All' post='538198' date='Jul 11 2009, 11:14 PM']Just came across this;[/quote] HA HA good luck with that one!!!!!
  3. [quote name='Musky' post='548267' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:35 PM']My thoughts exactly. Sadly it's not mine! [/quote] AAWWW shame!! a fiesta red 70,s jazz bass with a matching headstock, would be VERY!! interesting to me!!!! i thought for a bit it was a jaguar bass as they have matching headtock (in red) and the bound, with blocks, rosewood fingerboard ( bloody nice basses BTW) and are MIJ!!!! all the best- lee
  4. [quote name='jwbassman' post='513638' date='Jun 14 2009, 10:20 PM']That's why I got it Took it along to two rehearsals today (Big Band and Show rehearsal) and went down very well for both - so really pleased with it - got to adjust to the slightly shorter scale, the fewer strings and the frets (my usual bass is the OW 35" fretless 5) but other than that it's really enjoyable to play and sounds great through my new Barefaced Compact [/quote] Where are you doing this show mate, i played it a couple of years ago. used my warwick. but if i did it again id use my musicman, is it the osaltwhistle production? in which case ill say hello ( a mate of mines wife,s in it) could be way off the mark, but just to say a jazz is a great choice- all the best - lee
  5. [quote name='Musky' post='548036' date='Jul 22 2009, 07:34 PM']Some have, like this non export Jazz. [attachment=29410:107_0718.JPG][attachment=29411:107_0731.JPG] My jap squier silver series p does too[/quote] I must see a full pic of this amazing jazz bass, just stunning!!! - lee
  6. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='543670' date='Jul 17 2009, 11:10 PM']Now sold to Lee650. Apologies to those who made offers but were beaten to it in the end. Thanks to all who took an interest including the two previous owners Martthebass and Ray.[/quote] Thanks Dave, rest assured its gone to a good home!!!! - lee
  7. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='540234' date='Jul 14 2009, 12:31 PM']Thanks Lee. You could probably tempt me with the fiesta red P if I really needed another P which I don't - I do keep fancying a Pino Palladino custom shop job..... ....and bump[/quote] HA HA that would be a nice little solution i may be able to stump up a cash adjustment, i do like my little budget "pino" though just needs a little hardware upgrade ( nowt wrong with it, im just fussy ) as you say your sorted, no disposable cash for a while unfortunately. Would look great in my stable, cheers mate , BUMP!!!! - lee
  8. Bought a set on here,(used) and there not what im looking for, so theyve been under my bed!!! these are the short stemmed type that are replacements for musicman basses and i think G&L,S , still in box and in resonably good nick, doesnt have the screws with them though, should be easy to source, would like £25 incl delivery - lee

    [quote name='Gwilym' post='538786' date='Jul 12 2009, 08:50 PM']hi Lee, yeah, the whole body is maple - not sure if it's what you would call quilted though. at least it's quite different to what I would visualise when talking about a quilted top. I thought I had some more pictures at hand that I could link in showing more detail, but I'll have to get that done next weekend too. cheers G[/quote] Hi G i had a look at the smith website, and it looks like a wood he,s using called western quilted maple, which does look quite diffrent, man its gorgeous!!!, im sure i could give it a good home, but id probably lose the wife a daughter been officially banned from buying anymore basses. id say good luck with the sale, but i know you dont need it mate , whoever gets this will be a happy bunny indeed!! - cheers G - lee
  11. God i would love this, but it would mean getting rid of an existing bass as im skint, big bump for a gorgeous bass, from a top fella, deal with confidence - lee

  16. Hi there Was looking at this just last night, im going to needing a fretless for a show im doing called "rent" this looks fantastic, is it a defretted model?or factory fretless, also if its a series one it wont be 35" scale, not a deal breaker though great basses, just working on the wife at the mo, big bump for a gorgeous bass. all the best - lee
  17. Hi guys was a massive fan, growing up and my faves are "hours by the window" from true colours( beautiful chordal work) "the sun goes down" and kansas city milkman" bloody hell not a slap lines in sight his fingerstyle and chordal playing is exceptional and he,s not known for it, love him a big influence!!!
  18. Hi guys Ive got the kent armstrong"vintage hot" precision pickup in my CIJ fender p , it sounds fine and probably better than the original japenese pickup, has a nice warm sound but has a lot of mids, but hey its a p bass!!! am currently saving for a nordstrand np4 but TBH it probably wont sound that much better for the money!!! worth using for the money very good value!!! all the best - lee
  19. [quote name='Beneath It All' post='515960' date='Jun 17 2009, 12:06 AM']..........................Hey dude....Borrowed Alan James's JM5 whilst on Ventura; superb,but couldn't reach the 1st fret!!..Using a Paulman 5 right now - in fact I think I'll start a Paulman thread shortly...Hope you're well & looking forward a gig or two with Clive & CJ...mike[/quote] Hi mike I know its a great bass ive had mine a while now got not long after i last saw you, i would love that shuker of yours ive had my eye on these basses recently, if i had the cash etc etc, i have a strict one in one out rule with the wife at the mo, athough i very nearly sold three of my basses to get a sadowky ,i changed my mind im playing a lot of amateur theatre these days ( my time in richards band served me well, i ended up in the 7 piece for a while) and the four i have cover every situation, i did dabble with an NS WAV for a bit but couldnt play it and sightread . Have not played with clive & cj for a very long time, i occasionally do the odd one with them when they are home, in fact im doing a hotel gig with them next month, but i have a day job and a mortgage/wife/daughter the whole lotand couldnt be happier, hope your cool mate good luck with the sale its gorgeous - lee
  20. Bloody hell mike thats gorgeous!!! i really do like maple fretboards and im a big nordstrand fan too, love it its lush, ill swap you my warwick streamer jazzman 5 for it hope your well mate - lee
  21. [quote name='liamcapleton' post='513515' date='Jun 14 2009, 07:14 PM']No, you're right I was going to mention that! Louis did move over to Musicmans, but in conjunction with his P-Basses as well, especially on a lot of Michael Jackson and George Benson stuff.[/quote] Hi guys Louis johnson used a p bass early on, and had input in the development of the musicman stingray which he used on pretty much everything he did,(although i believe he used yamaha for a while) he shared bass duties on the micheal jackson records with bobby watson (from the band rufus) who used a 62 precision (on "rock with you") also he did the george benson stuff, as well as abraham laboriel who used either a p bass or a goya panther (very similar sound to a p). as far as i know bernard edwards used both musicman and BC rich eagle basses (both now owned by duran durans john taylor), but in those days as you correctly point out a precision was a session requirement, you cant beat a good jazz bass though!!! i love em!! al the best - lee
  22. Goergeous bass, i really like the clear pickgaurd!! i have a jazz and a musicman and love them dearly just bite the bullet and keep it and get a jazz,"you know you want too!!!!" all the best - lee
  23. Ive actually just put a justa nut 3 on my 5 string jazzman as the JAN2 broke,its a vast improvement in playability managed to get a nicer action out of it ,highly recommended BUMP!!!!!
  24. [quote name='Ba55me15ter' post='503768' date='Jun 2 2009, 01:32 PM']Eeh...I remember auditioning with Thomas back in the early 90's down the Hoults estate. I think my hair was too short at the time - that's my excuse anyway. Oz (now with Nick Pride and the Pimptones)[/quote] Ha cool!! that would have been when i auditioned, i got the gig and had long hair!!! but they didnt like my bass ( an old ibanez musician) i didnt last long in the gig but it was a waste of time anyway, i went to newcastle college not long after, never met oz but i was in a band with nick pride for a while and a diffrent band with dave wilde from the pimptones, both great guys and fantastic musos, i miss them!!! cheers mate - lee
