    Also make sure the extension cab is the right ohmage to get the best power out of the combo, I would imagine it needs to be 8ohms.

    Just to say I saw Billy do a demo of his new preamp in Exeter to about 100 people a few years and he blew me away. Always been a fan of his playing, Niacin, Mr Big especially. Met him afterwards and he was a top bloke, signed a ton of autographs and spent a load of time chatting.

    Unless our very own Doctor of the Bass got it wrong its a 1! Great bass whatever it is I had a 2000 before and regretted selling it so its back to a brand I know and love.

    Nicko McSmith travelled down to sunny Woking tonight with a fine Status to trade. Great bass, great guy, an old mate who I haven't seen enough of for ages. Unfortunately he had arranged a dogging session at the local hot spot and had to run but we must catch up again soon. Buy/trade with confidence!! You can't go wrong! Klingon Kol

    A flying visit from the Doctor has resulted in him taking away the Jaydee and leaving me a Status Series 1 five string, 3 sheeps, 1 camel,a Llama and a Brazilian ladyboy to follow! Good to see ya Nick, lets make it a bit longer next time. Thanks for all the interest, kind words and bumpage Cheers Happy Klingon Kol

    [quote name='6stringbassist' post='436356' date='Mar 16 2009, 05:42 PM']It's a short one.[/quote] No probs. Mine is about 46-47inches and a bit short for my rather large bod so a longer one is needed!

    [quote name='6stringbassist' post='435646' date='Mar 15 2009, 11:03 PM']As new, probably about a month old and hardly used. I don't get on with them and need something wider and less 'giving', the comfort strap distorts under the weight of my bass and pulls into my shoulder. £17.50 including postage.[/quote] How long is it.........the strap that is! Would be interested if it's the longer one! Colin

    Having a bit of turmoil and not sure what's best. I got this fine bass from our very own Rich last year as an introduction back to bass after a while off. It's a great bass but at the moment just not what I need. The band I'm in have got together about 25-30 songs and it's used once! Even then I'm forcing it in so it's a bit redundant. So I also got (from Crez5150) a nice SX Jazz5. Great bass again and needless to say the main one at the mo. So I'm thinking of outing the JD to finance or trade for another 5 string. The SX is good but now I'm back in the saddle I'm gassing for something of what I used to have. The Jaydee was bought new by Rich in 1987 so I'm the 2nd owner. It's in great condition, a few very small marks but hey it's over twenty years old. Rich used roundwounds and the same for me so a few little marks on the board but no wear. It's got an EMG pickup and 2 band stack eq with a Hollis pre-amp and an active/passive switch. I've got the original stripey p/u that Rich passed on to me which doesn't work but may be fixable if needs be. So what am I looking for tradewise....well it MUST be active/fretted and 5 string. In the past I've been a Musicman Stingray/Warwick Fortress/Streamer/Status player. Not sure the JD is worth enough for one of these but hey, someone might like a change. I also like the G&L 2500 and after hearing Eric Czar with Joe Bonamassa the Ibanez ATK305 is a consideration. So cash wise I would just like my money back which is I think a very reasonable [b]£400[/b]. Would definitely prefer collection/delivery from/to Surrey or nearby-ish! Would travel a bit for the right trade. Pics below, not great quality.

    Whenever a thread like this comes up I straight away go for the keyboard to extol the virtues of Mr Lynott only to find that people have got there before me. (note to self...learn to type quicker). But seriously the band I've just joined are thinking of doing Dancing in the Moonlight so with a nice little chorus pedal off I go. By no means a demanding bass line but it just didn't sound right. Grabbed a pick off me acoustic guitar and bang there we are, on the money! So to answer the OP's question probably 99% fingers and 1 song with a pick. Could Knopfler be criticized for not using a pick? I don't think so. So why are there people out there who think less of a bass player who does? We just have to use the tools that we have........picks,fingers,thumbs,effects,different amps,speakers to get the sound that WE want. Sometimes a straight P-bass through a straight valve amp with a pick is the way, sometimes not. Who cares! Just love the music however it's played. Hangover rant Colin hic!
