    £340 is a fantastic price for the M13. They are £439 new. I wouldn't sell mine for less than that, then again I wouldn't sell it at all

    Ok I'll concede, you know what sound I like better than I do , your amp sounds better than mine at doing my sound, and your equipment is much more reliable. And your gear makes you a much better player I better start saving...............

    I think the point being missed here is that not everyone wants the same bass sound. It's no good having Mark Bass gear or Aguilar stuff if you want a big rock valve sound with a bit of overdrive. Its no good using a vintage Hofner violin bass through an SVT to get a mark king slap sound. If people want to buy expensive gear then its no different than people buying BMW's or Mercs. I am more of a Toyota man as I like cheap insurance. As far as sound goes, I get the same bass sound out of anything that I plug into generally. It wouldn't matter if it was 200 quid or two grand I would still dial in the the same sound. It's impossible to say which would sound better because only you know the sound your looking for. To say "my rig is 2 grand and sounds better than yours" is obviously ridiculous Build quality will probably be higher although if we are making comparisons with Cars, i doubt Mercs and BMW's engines are more reliable than a Toyota or a Nissan. High price doesn't always equate to better quality as you often find with watches, clothes, shoes etc sometimes your paying for the name. If you have the money and like the idea of owning something expensive then why not buy it but it won't make you play any better that's for sure, and you will probably get the same sound out of something a third of the price

    "This bass speaks for itself" does it? bloody hell no wonder your asking so much

    I think kids will listen to flea then discover Mark King and then go on to discover Mark's and Flea's influences and through that uncover the really really good players who they would otherwise never have come across. Personally apart from the first self titled album Level 42 which I really like they bore me and RHCP sound like tuneless dirge. Even under the bridge is a tuneless monotone, and then when they do the rapping stuff? well don't even get me started on that! However, everyone has their own taste. Myself would rather listen to a bit of James or Jaco but there is a place for all these styles in a good bass education. King wins hand down though for being able to sing while playing some of those lines

    Another good one is " I want what I paid for it" Why? it's six months older and had had one more owner lol! just accept depreciation

    [quote name='Sean' post='814029' date='Apr 21 2010, 06:18 PM']In most cases with Jap Fenders it's absolutely true.[/quote] well that's personal opinion I suppose, just not mine the one about selling it three weeks after they bought the "best bass ever made" is a good one, I have seen that one a few times
  22. ianrunci
    The usual lines are the ones I find the most amusing. I.E This is the best jazz/precision bass I've ever played! - Well of course it is that's why your selling it lol. This Jap/mex version plays and sounds better than the USA version. yeah right of course it does This is a great players bass (oh and its in pristine condition having never been played outside my bedroom) which usually translates to its a great polishers bass this squire plays as good as any custom shop special i have ever played and the sound is the best you will ever hear This is the best neck I have ever come across, and they usually say this every time they sell an instrument

    [quote name='Paul S' post='799458' date='Apr 8 2010, 07:51 AM']Again, thanks for that. Maybe I should keep it?.... And a very Happy Gilmour to you to Mr Schnozz.[/quote] You will struggle to find anything of the same quality for that price, a neck of the same quality will cost you a oner at least

    [quote name='Paul S' post='797680' date='Apr 6 2010, 03:52 PM']Thanks for that. Nice to have it confirmed. How do Cort guitars rate compared to other factories? I've noodled around on a couple of Squier strats and this is the best one, but I imagine there are a lot of frogs out there.[/quote] I've owned a couple of corts and a currently have a 1989 samick silver series & to be honest their isn't really much diffference. The Samick has a ply body but apart from it being heavier and a bit denser it doesn't really affect the sound much at all compared to present day squires they are great (apart from the classic vibes which I am extremely impressed with) they are much better built and have better hardware to the present standard squires though

    [quote name='Paul S' post='796853' date='Apr 5 2010, 07:16 PM']Now surplus to requirements, I bought this in May last year. To save me taking any extra pics I've included those sent to me by the guy I bought it from. He said it was based on an early 90's Korean (Cort factory) model s/n CN 432959. This one is the original neck and body, in similarly good overall condition (the neck is not new but there was almost no fret wear and that has been polished out. The Gilmour mods include plain black scratch plate, stubby whammy bar, 'Gilmour switch' that activates both neck and bridge pups, higher output pots, rewire and extra shielding as per picture. [attachment=46551:strat1.JPG][attachment=46552:strat2.JPG][attachment=46553:strat3.JPG] [attachment=46554:strat4.JPG][attachment=46555:strat5.JPG][attachment=46556:strat6.JPG] The pictures say it all, really. Sexy beast, isn't it! There was a slight issue with one of the higher frets catching, I had them dressed and now it plays beautifully and sounds, well, like a strat. I have a soft Fender gig bag, the not very padded ones, that it lives in. I took it to one rehearsal, played it at home for a while and then it went back in the bag. Could be yours for £200 including the bag and postage, £185 collected from SE Essex.[/quote] Definetly cort, its a 1994 model the N being for nineties and the first number the year
