what money is involved? usually when i see that "its a great opertunity for a young bassist" i generally get the vibe theres no money. seems abit shabby to me

excuse my ignorance BUT did Fender make Jazzes as early as 59?

i actually got one of these today...haha.. i went to the store to pick up a strap...i saw a road worn in the window and thought it looked nice but i cant be arsed with Fender as i dislike them highly. the guy insisted i played it...i did,and f*** me was i suprised.it plays and sounds amazing...i couldnt believe it...i havent put it down..i bought it there and then. i didnt pay full retail and i wouldnt..but for the money i paid its worth it..not worth the £1200 mark tho..

there's an interview with me in August's edition of the mag!! its one of the proudest moments of my life..i used to buy the mag as a youth! i was interviewed at Sheperds Bush Empire with my band www.myspace.com/ravenvandelle we were supporting UFO.. hope everyone is well and enjoyin the sun-while it lasts! regards jimi

Also, I would get a better PSU, one that can power them all so you only have 1 plug.[/quote] i use blackstar in the studio and live...the board changes from time to time..the pic was taken at a time they werent on the board! yeah i see what youre sayin about the PSU..but i can be arsed! haha

this is mine...pretty basic.... but a great board from Scott Dixon cases...! i take a Di from the sansamp btw..so i have the amp and the sansamp goin to the desc for a blend

[quote name='KevB' post='537170' date='Jul 10 2009, 12:59 PM']Also, if you are not in a great hurry, a few people may change up from their std Epi's to the Epi Pro leading to a glut of std Epi's on eBay at knock down prices. Last time Pete Way toured with UFO he was using Epi T birds rather than Gibson and it sounded fine, I doubt they were modded.[/quote] pete's Epiphone wasnt modded...but for the last 18months hes used MY gold Tokai...ive recently got it back and its for sale if anyones interested...?

[quote name='Legion' post='524790' date='Jun 26 2009, 12:45 PM']Well, I have to say this one sneaked out from a dark corner and whacked me over the head with its clubby neck. I would never have imagined I would find exactly what I was looking for right now in a bass thats almost pink, it's relic'd and its a Custom Shop. Those are 3 things I really didn't rate... It speaks to me, inspires me, and I've fallen for it in a big way. Never believed in all that relic lark but this just feels "played" - a very strange experience to know within a couple of notes (unplugged) that its the one you wanted. Pino Palladino's original basses that these are based on must be a hell of a thing. Also rolls in at a nice light 8lbs 4oz. Did I mention the colour? I think it's growing on me [attachment=27749:IMGP1942.JPG] [attachment=27750:IMGP1943.JPG][/quote] im aching for one of these myself!!

played Sheperds Bush Empire as support to UFO..with my band Raven Vandelle..had a great show and great reviews and i was interviewed for Bassguitar magazine during soundcheck..was VERY cool! we sold 112 Eps last night too!

any chance you can pick up a copy of the "seed of memory" cd Terry has with him! il lsend you the cash! jj

hey guys.. can anyone tell me why the stores are selling the yamaha bb414x over £100 more than the standard bb414??? when the ONLY diff i can read about or be told about is the scratchplate???? BTW...Yamaha are bringin out a Glenn HUghes Sig at the end of the year...i played one at Download last sunday...i have to say it looks and sounds incredible...altho-GH's yammy has a maple neck-yamaha are only gona offer it with Rosewood!?..plus GH's bb body is smaller than the sig model which will be a standard bb414 body.... jimi rant over!

i always walk on stage with my bass.. check my flies are up! have a wee spend the first two songs wondering why the monitor mix has changed.. i tune by ear through the set.. make sure i have a towel as i sweat through my fingers and hands quite alot. thats about it!

hey all hope youre all well weve just had some shows confirmed with UFO-one of which being Sheperds bush empire on the 24th of june... cant bloody wait... since about the age of 12 ive wanted to play there...and i get do play there with my brother playing our own material...its the bollox i must say.. check us out www.myspace.com/ravenvandelle we actually have Glenn Hughes's Euro drummer on board-which is cool-but means ive had to up my game! hahahaha hope you like it! jj

great stuff to hear... ive spoken to Henrik a couple of times and he seems one hell of a nice guy to deal with.. im loving the >umbo< basses.. and the heavy relic finish is right up my strassa! thanks for the replies lads...

i was just over in France and the support band's bassist was using Sandberg...it was incredible...ive since been to PMT in Birmingham and tried some out and i adore the >UMBO< they have there... anyone use them?? id love to know youre thoughts. jimi
