    it doesn't get much better than this (well for me anyway), shame I never got to see them live, although I've seen Hackett a few times performing old Genesis numbers.

    [quote name='Jondeeman' timestamp='1347626298' post='1803234'] I'm off to sell my body in a degrading and humiliating way, until sufficient funds are available to buy it from you. In the meantime, good luck with the sale! [/quote] I'm going for the less painful option and buying a lottery ticket as the odds of winning are far greater than selling my A*** :-) Hope the sale goes well

    Hi Mick and welcome Like you I took a 31 year break and sold all my gear at the time which 2nd hand today would net me £18000+!!!! but in those days a guitar was priced on it's condition and not really by it's age or where it was built, good old hind sight eh. I would recommend squires, very good for the price, Vintage basses are also worth a punt, they are well made and sound fantastic. Cheers

    Welcome Scanbran, I'm 54 and just started to play bass again after a 31 year break and I've had offers to join 2 bands where I would be the oldest member by 20 years!!! so age is not a problem, it's all about music and enjoyment! Cheers Tony

    Is it the photos or is the neck seriously mis-aligned?

    Like most people here I'm getting fed up these "Relic'd" basses. The one thing that they usually miss as with the one here, is the neck and fretboard are remarkably new looking without a mark or sign of ware? But hey, I'm no expert, if I paid a lot of dosh for a bass I'd look after it thus making the resale value better than some beat up crap.

    [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Hi All[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]I'm reluctantly flogging my Vintage VJ96MR ICON Series Fretless Bass guitar (based on Jaco's Bass of Doom) as the need to build a replica 50's precision has got the better of me and I need to generate some dosh to enable me to start.[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]It has an amazing sound which everyone comments on and is really nice to play, I had for a month or 2 some Rotosound Roundwounds on it but then changed to flats, so there is a few marks on the fretboard which you can only see at the right angle but they have not penetrated the wood (you can see in the photo of the fretboard).[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Specs[/b][/size][/font] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Body: Eastern Poplar[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Neck: Hard Maple Bolt On[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Fingerboard: Rosewood[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Scale: 34"/864mm[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Frets: Fretless[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Neck Inlays: Pearloid Dot[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Tuners: Wilkinson® WJBL200[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Bridge: Wilkinson[/b][b]®[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Pickups: Wilkinson® JB x 2 (M) WJB00, ( WJB800[/b][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][b]Controls: 1 x Volume/ 1 x Tone[/b][/size][/font][/color] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#000000]The dings and scratches on this bass are all part of the distressing and no extra ones added by me![/color][/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#000000]Puting up for £190 and I would prefer collection from Portsmouth as I would like the buyer to see it and play it before buying, but would be willing to post [/color][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif](via courier service)[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] at extra cost.[/font][/color] [attachment=117558:2012-09-05 09.45.35.jpg][attachment=117559:2012-09-05 09.45.45.jpg][attachment=117560:2012-09-05 09.45.54.jpg][attachment=117561:2012-09-05 09.46.19.jpg][attachment=117562:2012-09-05 09.46.36.jpg][attachment=117563:2012-09-05 09.47.03.jpg] Cheers Tony

    I think Jaco does a good chromatic scale exercise on his video, I'll dig it out and let you know how he does it.

    Welcome Zomnius - have fun

    [quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1345406180' post='1777215'] As everybody already said, Squiers or Farida, but... if you want a fretless pretend Jaco on the cheap, there is this: [url="http://www.guitarmagazine.co.uk/reviews/vintage-icon-series-vj96mrjp-fretless/"]http://www.guitarmag...6mrjp-fretless/[/url] [/quote] I have one of these and they are amazing, lovely to play and everyone that hears it, comments on what a great sound it has. The "Out of the box" action is a little high for a fretless but that probably adds to the sound. These can be bought used on flea bay for around £175

    Good Luck and you'll have lots of messy fun Will keep looking out for your progress posts, remember Halfords do cheap paint! Perhaps even match it to the colour of your car!

    [quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1345042842' post='1772770'] I'd like to advance but am beginning to think that I'm a bit 'theory dyslexic', I'm not thick, but no matter what I read it doesn't seem to sink in to any degree. At least not in any way that is actually useful anyway. [/quote] Welcome Jason! I'm exactly the same as you in regards to learning theory, but I'm reading the[size=4] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][b]Popular Music Theory[/b] series of books and they have really helped me. [/font][/color][/size][url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Popular-Music-Theory-Grade-One/dp/1898466416/ref=pd_sim_b_6"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Popular-Music-Theory-Grade-One/dp/1898466416/ref=pd_sim_b_6[/url] there are 8 grades and you can even take exams on them if you wish. Can also relate to not having the time to gig due to young family, but i try to get them involved with learning about music etc. Anyhow, have fun, this is a really great site made up with wonderful people and bags of knowledge. Cheers

    [quote] Oh yepmop....tried the guys you suggested..phoned them 3 times...sent an email that was ignored for about a week..then got a "did you get our email" email...replied a further two times and nothing. I am going to try them again tomorrow on the phone and then move on. [/quote] That's a real shame, I've had good comms with them in the past, emails aren't in your spam folder? Hope you get sorted soon and get your bass finished. Cheers
