How does it differ from a P-bass that you despise all aspects of?

Hush up, you, he's clearly a man of exquisite taste

Although in seriousness, it's a slightly downsized body to the Fender standard, perhaps that's what's ticking the boxes

Haha! Honestly I don't know, im a lover of rays and jazz's and I've always looked at p's and thought they were so boring and bland, and this one has totally changed my opinion, it's just....... Different, must add that my opinion has been completely based on the appearance as I've never played a p! And this one has persuaded me to give it a try! Nice one doctor j I've got early onset GAS, me and my wallet could possibly hate you in the coming weeks

I like sunbursts but have only one, this Bacchus Woodline P

I despise p basses in every aspect, however there is something about this, its really really nice

I dislke children, If it was me, the first time would have gone something like this

Him: 'lads I'm bringing little johnny and charlo....'
Me: 'I'm out, give me my gear'

Gutted! Need this in my life!

How would a simple man like me (let's assume I'm an idiot and you won't be far wrong) know whether fretwork needs sorting, without taking it to a professional first? I'm not asking to be able to fix it myself, just get an idea if it might need fiddling with.
[/quote]
This!

Oh ok! Ill give the guy a call and see what he says :s hopefully all will be well! Thanks for your help

It's a brand new bass, so fretworks fine, it's just literally truss rod and bridge, new strings and new pickups! Seems to be a guy in harrow on that list! Which is a stones throw from me

Hi all,

How much should I be looking to pay for a set up and new pick ups fitted?

Also anyone know any decent ones in the Watford area?

Jack

Reminds me of story, my bass tutor went to New York, while he was there he saw a Gibson (l5 I think) and ended up buying it, about $15000 I recall him saying, spent 2 hours arguing with them to either let him insure the guitar or let him put it in a stowaway on board, in the end they agreed for him to bring it on board! It got home safe and sound

Sounds like a Deluxe. 4 knobs, Vol, Pan, Treble/Bass stack and Mid.
[/quote]
Sounds about right! God knows, I'm new to this luxurious world of high end basses, technically I haven't even entered it yet

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1336745048' post='1650365']


Would have had a '1' in front of the normal price. Cant remember if it had string through can you?
[/quote]
Can't remember at all mate, I think it was £1400 or there abouts, the guy mentioned it was active/passive on one of The stacked knobs, I didn't take much notice there was way too many knobs and I didn't have anywhere near the amount of money they wanted, all I remember is it was American, natural finish and a jazz!

Wait till the video pans up from the pedal... I had the biggest shock of my life, have I been missing something??

Someone offer me! Need this gone ASAP! I'm a very reasonable guy, offer me!

Very nice bass, played one a few weeks ago, I'd have this if I had the money, and didn't have serious stingray GAS!

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1336737458' post='1650206']


The standard/norm is still V/V/T. If it is a stacked pot it is either 60's reissue (they call it a 62 reissue but I have a feeling the VVT was generally in use by 62 and 'technically' the stacker should be earlier than that) or it has had the plate replaced.
[/quote]

Must have been a reissue I tried then!

I tried out a us jazz the other week, brand new? I was under the impression they came stacked as standard now?

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1336679662' post='1649522']


Yes.
[/quote]
++AWESOME++ then, where do I sign?

The question is, will it all fit in your pocket? Along with your keys?

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1336665005' post='1649187']

and the pedalboard

The basses are hidden

Reminds me, I bought a vm jazz, went up to check it out, although was going to order on the net, good job I didn't as the one they had boxed up was awful, 3 piece body with the joins clearly visible, the control plate wonky and the controls barely turned, needless to say I bought the display one they didn't seem to bothered to listen to my concerns on the other though! Some poor sods probably bought it
