i've always liked the idea of getting a '69 bass that would be the same age as me - think it'd be pretty cool - as is that Jazz! peace c

hee hee - pretty cool! - i used to have a 2x10 which sat on top of a 1x15 and i often thought about painting that because the speakers kinda looked like a big gas mask! .......or maybe i'd just been smoking too much... my guitarist sprayed his boogie cab grill in a camo pattern and straight away didn't like it so sprayed it over black - he didn't even take it off his cab to spray it though so i dread to think what his speakers look like now!!! peace c

nuno rules! i was never really into extreme becasue that singer annoyed the hell out of me, but as a guitarist nuno is definitely up there, especially listening to some of his solo bits n bobs more recently. peace c

on first quick glance that all seems quite intriguing if a little odd! i like conspiracy theories me! peace c

yeah i think its good - teenagers into bands like Fall Out Boy are no way gonna be able to afford a 'proper' fender sig model. squier also do some quite nice guitars in a similar vein - [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/prod_images/guitars/0301010506_md.jpg"]Avril Lavigne Signature Telecaster[/url] [url="http://www.woodbrass.com/images/woodbrass/F030-1000-505.JPG"]bloke from Sum 41 sig tele[/url] quite good i reckon peace c

get some pics up! - and whats your verdict? peace c

Its a [i]slightly[/i] inferior model to the Attitude LTD as it hasn't got the scallops, d-tuner and dimarzios but its by no means an inferior bass. £300 is a very good price - i would buy it straight away! c

bah! don't buy it! they're RUBBISH!!!!! not really - but I want it!! got my eye on one on a US website but not sure about all the importing etc. anyways - I've got 2 attitudes - a LTD 1 and a Special and they're both very nice. The LTD 1 has a very wide neck which some people might struggle with. All the others in the range aren't so bad though. From the Attitude manual the Custom is as follows: Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Maple Body: Alder Scale length: 33 and 7 eighths (860mm) Nut Width: 43mm Fingerboard radius: 10" (r250mm) Nut: Bone Frets: Dunlop #6100 Bridge: BPZ-4 Pickups [b]not[/b] Dimarzio. you're right - no scalloped frets and not sure if it has the D-tuner either... and theres a switch on the back of the body for independent/mix output for the pickups. seriously, if you don't get it let me know as i will! peace c

i used to have one of these back in the day - not the blood covered one mind you, but the similarly subtle black one with a red lightning bolt going across it! pretty good basses really - bought mine new back in the early 80's so mine actually came with a matching hard case. in fact...heres a vintage photo of it in action!!! haha peace c

my Ibanez SB900 i've just sold had the skinniest, slimmest neck of any bass i've ever played! lots smaller than a Jazz even - though they are hard to find basses. peace c

heres one from me that i rediscovered the other day - this song always cheers me up and theres the odd quirky little bass bit in there too! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhSc8qVMjKM"]Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London[/url] peace c

that ishibashi website is a nightmare isn't it!! some funny engrish on there mind you: 'Affordable item that sets goods in main body of guitar' 'Best used guitar & amplifier selected carefully is improved all at once' 'It is affordable goods before it rises' [url="http://www.engrish.com/recent_detail.php?imagename=hang.jpg&category=Engrish%20from%20Other%20Countries&date=2007-09-20"]engrish.com[/url] peace c

not sure as i tend to stick to regular tuning where possible - i did notice this the other day: [url="http://www.warwickbass.com/basses/corvette_taranis.htm"]http://www.warwickbass.com/basses/corvette_taranis.htm[/url] so would seem you're not the only one doing this! if you know your way around the fretboard ok then i would imagine the missing G wouldn't be too much of a problem especially with the material you mention you'll be playing. peace c

always thought this was quite nice: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIMDVm-lTg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIMDVm-lTg[/url] peace c

thats a well cool little mini bass thing!!! i want one!! but not for over 2000 euros probably easy to make something similar maybe..... peace c

not sure about other Yamahas but I've got 2 Attitudes (a LTD 1 and a Special) and (particularly the higher spec LTD) they are very nice instruments - well made, good sound and solid as anything. I still like my Fenders too mind you! peace c
