Yup demo sounds a good idea. It’s absolutely fearsome, this bass. Will sort! -

Whoops thought it said. I’m in Kent nr Ashford -
This magnificent TRB6 is on the block as I’m on a one bass only regime and need four strings imminently. This is the early version of the TRB6. Having owned a Patitucci TRBJP1, it's of the same high quality build and has the same spec apart from no maple cap on the body and with a huge slab of high quality rosewood with dots instead of ebony/clef inlays. Pretty sure the preamp is identical. The bass has an ash body, maple neck, rosewood board and, most importantly in my book, a 34" scale. Weight is also great and unusual coming in around 9.5 lbs (4.3kgs). It has a great balance and a wonderful J bass tone with a lot of heft and shapeability with the powerful EQ. Condition is excellent - I even have the little plastic clip on guide to the preamp. Trades are welcome for the following basses. All would need to be on the lighter side of 9.5lbs for a Yamaha (as the old BBs trend heavy) and around or under 9lb for anything else. As I'm the singer in my band, I need something that won't load me up too much. - Yamaha BB2000 - Yamaha BB3000 - Fender AVRI P bass - Stingray Classic - Fender USA Geddy J Bass Pickup/meetup preferred. I’m nr Ashford in Kent. Pics! for a Yamaha sixer,

Lots to think about. Looking forward to getting hooked up

Ah fabulous. Thank you!

Thanks all - this is good stuff. I like the idea of filtering out the clatter!

My band is about to start making noise again in a live context. We're a three piece and I can happily hear all the noise from our amps/drums but I would like to have a feed of my voice into an in-ear (perhaps with a touch of compression and reverb) so that I don't over sing and get pitchy etc I can see systems costing a bomb and cheap as chips stuff but is there a reliable solution to just getting a feed of my voice that sounds even (and possibly vibey) in one or two of my lugholes? It would need to be something I could just setup in a simple rehearsal room with an el crapola desk and then take to stages of various sizes...is there something that works independently of the desk for instance i.e. taking a feed of my voice off the mic DI box? And if there is a solution, how do you choose to set it up?

I love a jazz at home and used to tour with a Stingray and a 70s J as a backup. Whenever I switched to the J the bottom end and any thump fell out of the band. I'm pretty sure it was driver error but it always struck me as a potential issue. Doesn't stop me buying them and selling them though!!! I love the sound for recording.

Threads like this remind me how much I need a P bass with old flats on it...argh gas

I think one of the Bass Gallery lot will turn up soon and hopefully answer that question! Such an amazing period for bass design.

I remember these days especially around '86 and 87'. I was there on quite a few Saturday mornings in that period. Always a fresh batch of shiny Jaydees, Smiths, Statii, Wals, Zons, Warwicks, Pangbournes, Wilkes and Steinbergers to play through a Trace stack. My eye was always drawn to the latest Status, Smith and Jaydee. Wals were fun but I recall them feeling old fashioned compared to all the serious graphite and US basses. Zons were rarer but amazing and I thought Steinbergers were a bit strange. Today, I would go for the Steinberger!

@Beedster that is a rare and funky bass!
-
I love the idea of some proper full carbon Steinies coming back into production but I am not convinced by fan frets. Having owned a Dingwall sixer I certainly won some but I also lost some and much prefer a straight 34inch scale six string. Let's have a 4, 5 and 6 at 34inch scale across the board please Mr Steinberger...

Another option could be that neon-purple 1991 soundgear S1000 in the classifieds. Skinny neck, quite the plumage and in your price range. Not trad, but pretty rad.

Given that secondhand bass prices are increasingly challenged these days I would keep an eye out for a decent and lightish MIJ Fender jazz that gets close to that price ball park. I've owned a couple over the years and always liked them more than any American standard I've owned.
