pics and serial number would help a lot

I played the 60s P model. Very nice for the cash, had that classic P sound and felt and looked very good. I didn't like the bridge cover though, interfered with my playing as I palm mute a lot

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='302880' date='Oct 9 2008, 12:00 PM']I love my HW1 Jazz. Even with a BA2 on it. When i was looking for my first Jazz this sounded the best in the shop, to me. i guess we all like something different but i think it nails the tone i was looking for at the time (ie, A vintage jazz tone). I had a HW-One P and although it was nice i don't really like the grease bucket tone control. Not sure if the new Jazz has it as well but i think it takes something away form the tone.[/quote] I agree, the greasebucket tone control sucks, on all the HW1 Ps I have played there was none of the nice thick sounds to be obtained by rolling off the tone

ahh Sandberg, not Clover. They're basically the same IMO haha

you can buy pre-grooved ones now but they'll cost you extra

[quote name='Rusty Shackleford' post='301499' date='Oct 7 2008, 04:39 PM']im off to leeds on saturday so hopefully the wife will let me off on my own to go bass spotting. its not in the centre is it?[/quote] [quote name='Adrenochrome' post='301505' date='Oct 7 2008, 04:44 PM']I went there last Saturday and they sorted out my return to Peavey very nicely considering they had nothing to do with the original sale. It's easy to get to down the A61, turn onto the M58 [inner ringroad], turnoff at the sign for the airport. At the roundabout take 3rd exit [signposted airport], then it's about 2nd or 3rd left past TGI Fridays and just next to Staples.[/quote] there's your directions! it's near the centre but it's not right in it.

It's become a PMT store and it's much better. Better stock all round. They had some Music Man basses, basses from all the Fender ranges and I was surprised to see Clover basses there too. Checked out a Squier Classic Vibe P, an American Deluxe P with a subtley flamed maple fretboard and a Stingray through a tiny but pretty decent Line 6 amp. If you're in the area check it out

the originals weren't nitro they were catalyzed lacquer - a kind of acrylic I believe

I played a 5 string HH Stealth model at Musicground in Leeds but it was stickered at over £1500... It was very nice however and the neck pickup didn't affect slapping for me. If it was £500 less I'd have been tempted

By what I've seen on Talk Bass the '08 American Standard 5 strings are very good. I want A Precision V

[quote]* Alembic Epic: Flea used an Alembic Epic bass comprising a flame maple topped mahogany body and ebony fingerboard to record almost all of the One Hot Minute album, with the exception of the songs Aeroplane and Pea. This guitar can be glimpsed in the second video for the single My Friends, showing the band recording the album in The Sound Factory studios. * Fender Jazz Bass: Although he primarily used his signature Modulus Flea Bass during the recording sessions for By The Way, Flea also used a 1961 Shell Pink Fender Jazz Bass to record certain songs such as Body Of Water. This bass was later used in parts of the Can’t Stop video, and for all of Stadium Arcadium. This 1961 Jazz is the only known specimen in Shell Pink (the rarest custom color) though it now appears orange-peach, due to the deeply yellowed lacquer coating over the underlying pink paint. Flea has since been playing live with this instrument during the touring and promotional duties for Stadium Arcadium. * Fender Precision Bass: Used as a live back-up on the Freaky Styley album tour. * Modulus Flea Bass: Flea used various models of his signature bass in different colour finishes for recording and tours through the years 1997 to 2004. The most notable examples of Flea’s use of this bass include a blue flake finished model which was his primary instrument on the Californication world tour, and featured a rectangular sticker just below the bridge saying; “a flea still drinks the blood of those who wouldn’t harm a flea”. He also used a silver flake model in the video for Can’t Stop, which was his drop-D tuned bass on the Californication and By The Way tours. Perhaps most notably, Flea used a custom model nicknamed the “Punk Bass”, which was painted like the French national flag and covered in graphics featuring his favourite punk bands, which was his main instrument on the By The Way world tour. His newest bass is a sunburst Flea Bass with black pickguard. It has the same spec as all of his other Modulus Basses and is currently being used for the Stadium Arcadium tour. * Music Man Cutlass I: Flea’s one and only Cutlass was covered in pink and green tape and paint, and further covered with stickers. He recorded The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Freaky Styley albums with the Cutlass, and he also used it on tour extensively. These basses were identical to the classic Stingray model but featured a graphite neck made by Modulus. * Music Man Sterling: Glimpsed in the original My Friends video. * Music Man StingRay: He started using Stingrays somewhere between the Uplift Mofo Party Plan tour and the recording of Mother’s Milk; They were both black, one with a maple fingerboard and a sticker saying ‘crunch’ on the upper body horn used in the Show Me Your Soul video, and the other with a rosewood fingerboard, later used to record Aeroplane on One Hot Minute and used in that song’s video. Flea’s only use of a five-string bass was a black StingRay5 used to record Funky Monks and Righteous And The Wicked on Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and in the music video for Under the Bridge. * Sigma Acoustic: Used to record the bass and vocals song Pea. * Spector NS: To record Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Flea used a black NS with chrome hardware, dot inlays, J-J pickups and stickers of two figures on the instrument’s body horns, and subsequently used a new black NS with gold hardware, block inlays and a J-P pickup configuration on all of Mother’s Milk. * Taylor Acoustic: Used to record the song Road Trippin’. * Wal Mach II: Flea used this blue custom guitar to record most of Blood Sugar Sex Magik, with the only exceptions being the two songs Funky Monks and Righteous And The Wicked. He still owns this bass, except it is now covered with stickers that exhibit the faces of people Flea admires.[/quote] some info I found...
