  1. Thanks for the suggestion. I think the issue with all of them is going to be volume. I play double bass but the thing is an acoustic only in a small space (radio station) so I thought it might a solution but looks like it won't work. I'll just play acoustic guitar and sing I think...
  2. Hi folks Have to do an acoustic session imminently. Can anyone recommend a good sub 250 quid acoustic bass guitar that I could pick up on denmark street? I know NOTHING about these things! Cheers, Nick (Sorry, originally posted this in the wrong forum, my apologies)
  3. Sorry, wrong forum! Please delete the post!
  4. I think of it as a 'Pimp Miami Telebass'...It's very cool but I need the jazz sound right now....
  5. It's a great bass indeed, but my need for a precision has waned and I now need a J! Cheers, N
  6. Didn't Variax use euphemisms to avoid legal action? I hate DSP bass/amp and effect cloning. It sounds awful in my opinion. There's an aural 'glisten' to the sound that is analogous to the visual shine you still get on cgi/vfx to my ears.
  7. I think I have the sibling of this bass. What's te weight and the neck profile? Any neck dive or fret wear? Thanks Nick
  8. £450 Excellent precision bass but I need a jazz or a second Ric. Run ideas past me for a part-ex. I'm especially keen on American Vintage Jazzes and Rick 4001/4003s. Narrow necks, light weight and Jetglo much appreciated! This bass is extremely high quality and exceeds the American standard series in quality IMO. Warmoth bass spec - 9lbs and very well balanced - surf green ash body - tusq nut - wizard trad pup - badass II - maple/maple neck. It's an 'A' i.e. 1.5 inches wide. Very comfy chunky jazz profile. Sounds very good. - tele headstock with no decal - white tele bass p/guard - schaller tuners - straplocks - cts pots It's a well balanced, great sounding bass with classic thump and growl. Weighs 9lbs. Very good cond with a couple of small dings. You can check it out on youtube here...

  9. Thank goodness for that!
  10. These are awesome guitars. I own a gold top standard too...
  11. I was reminded what a heavy hitting bassist sting was back in the day hearing this. Full on rock bass. Really punchy and tight... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQQVm3AV7LI
  12. What is the weight on this lovely bass and is there any neck dive/ headstock tug on the left shoulder when strapped? Thanks Nick
  13. I have a later model of this soloist bass called the Halo. They are fantastic basses and this is a great price...
  14. Drop mister wilkes himself a line here. These were cool basses... [url="http://www.wilkesguitars.co.uk/index.htm"]http://www.wilkesguitars.co.uk/index.htm[/url]
  15. no point in splitting really. If it doesn't go as a job lot I'll finish the bass. N
  16. That was a lovely J bass. It had a great heavy tone to it but I found the neck just too chunka for my hand. The Bravewood stuff is in a different league though...he makes beautiful instruments...
  17. I would hesitate to say I like all singlecuts. But my Adamovic Halo is absolutely incredible. It feels amazing, sounds great and is astonishingly beautiful...

  18. Was just listening to him yesterday and didn't know he had died until I saw this thread just now. A great contributor to pop music who's lines will live on for an extremely long time. Which is a major achievement for any one of us. RIP
  19. Anyone want to part ex their Celinder or fender AV75RI? Or a lovely P bass?
  20. Tricky to say much about the profile as it's the only bass I know well. It's extremely nice to play? Drop chris kelly a line. He has played more basses than I've had hot dinners and had a long session on it. String stop is 105cm. Cheers
  21. Seconded. A man who is a cut above in the vintage bass department. Beautiful bass by the way!
