mine was a Fender Bassman 100, it made a great practice amp for a bedroom but that was it, major letdown!

i would have thought so

out of curiosity how much would one cost for a jazz bass but with a cut out for a musicman humbucker in plain black?

ive seen them both when they were with Satriani

The Bangles, who wouldnt have wanted to share a dressing room with Suzannah Hoffs

Ive got a Rockbass Streamer with the passive MEC `Classic Humbuckers` now ive never had a problem with it untill recently, it plays very nice with a good action but since ive put decent pickups in my other basses it seems to fall short a bit on the output side of things in other words its weak. Are there any alternatives to the MEC`s or is a preamp a good idea? Hit me with your ideas chaps [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/SNV80316_zpse393f184.jpg[/IMG]

cant be that much of a collectors item theres another one on the bay right now at a much more affordable price and spec http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Jazz-24-Four-String-Active-Bass-Guitar-Seymour-Duncan-Hipshot-/281083913532?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4171e8253c

safe to come out yet?.....................................................................

ive noticed since getting back into playing after 10 years off that unless i get the strap length spot on my tennis elbow flares up in my left arm, i used to get cramp in my left hand which once left me playing over top of the neck at the end of a long set.

agreed its better than black plastic but.......................................................................ill hide now

very nice! always liked a matching pair, heres mine sourced in bits from all over the globe! [IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/IMG_0005-1_zps98aa63dc.jpg[/IMG]

Im not trying to be a stick in the mud or anything but would the control cover not have been better matched to the wood on the back of the body? the front looks gorgeous but the back looks like a bitsa sorry ill run and hide now.......

i had this happen during a gig and had to play dancing in the moonlight from above the neck, people thought i was showing off but i was in agony haha

at the risk of being shot down how about Brad Russell? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZMaGex14kg

whoops never saw that, mods delete this thread of you like

Just seen this on the bay, wow! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Custom-Shop-Master-Built-Tye-Zamora-6-String-Fretless-Bass-Alien-Ant-Farm-/251241315215?pt=Guitar&hash=item3a7f263b8f

I had a Westfield T/bird and i thought it sounded great but i wasnt a big fan of the neck it was too sticky with sweaty hands apart from that and the balance problem which was cured with a suade strap it was a really nice bass.

jaw droppingly gorgeous

I nearly bought one of these so i would be interested in the outcome

I have that with Frank, I swear his album Love, Ire And Song could've been written about me; couple that with great songwriting and you have a winner. If the boy were to lead a revolution I'd join. [/quote] the first time i heard the Long Live the Queen track and heard the story behind it it brought a tear to my eye, very moving song from a superb album! if i was to say who has inspired me it would have to be Greame Obree, non musical i know but he was a man who let nothing get in his way to unconventionally get to the very top and who has had to fight his demons every step of the way.

I dealt with a guy called John Doughty, ive got Roto flats on 3 of my 5 basses now and when the others need restringing they will be getting the same, that kind of customer service cant be bought (i like the strings anyway!)

I bought a set of flat wound Rotosounds a couple of weeks back and unfortunately the E string had what was described as a `loose cover` and rattled. I contacted Rotosound with the intention of buying a replacement string however I recieved a reply apologising for the string and asking for my address to send a free replacement to, great i thought thats good of them. On monday the string duly arrived and it had brought four of its friends along for the ride, so instead of just sending me a replacement for the defective one i had a brand new set and a replacement, to me thats top marks for customer service.
