Apart from the tacky pictures I bet they are pretty decent guitars for the price that Harley Benton gear aint half bad

I have never heard of the band I saw the thread and thought it was going to be a gag about salad derrr me

Well I have played Fenders in the past and never really been blown away thought they were nice though but recently I had an itch for a Fender this is because I was playing my Vintage V4 P bass and loving it so it gave me a Fender itch so I bought a Fender from the forum and it has really blown me away I like everything about it I have been through about 10 basses in the past year and`never really found I could get on with for various reasons but the Fender just fits like a glove so I am well chuffed and am actually enjoying playing again and my knackered hands are not in too much pain with the Fender so I am thinking I have become a Fender fan boy lol am now gonna sell some more stuff and save for another as a back up lol

I think the mods do a great job I recently had a post removed by a mod as it was deemed a bit stereotypical and I was then sent a PM by another mod who explained to me that the post had been removed and why which I appreciated and understood as to be honest I did not see anything wrong with my post as I wrote it but when I was told why it was removed I understood why I so yeah I think the mods do a great job and I agree that some people really have been taking the pee and think as it is the new year we should all be kind and respectful to each other and also respect the forum and the mods and keep it the great place iit is

And not being funny it would be a shedload cheaper just to buy a bass like this in good condition you can pick them up complete on ebay for about £100 and it will cost a lot more to buy the parts to do your bass up even if you can source 2nd hand parts

Bought a tuner off of John for my son he delivered it very speedily and all seems well and his communication was great

Could it be some kind of saddle lock?

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1388760692' post='2325727'] the pickguard colour needs to incorporate the binding colour somehow...to visually tie it all together...black, white & ivory/beige? [/quote]+1 think that is a great idea

I voted Hyperdrive as I have one and think it is awesome I cant comment on any of the other pedals as I have never used them

[quote name='dazza14' timestamp='1386001775' post='2294495'] What mod's have you done to your bass? I own one of these and as much as I like it, it's always interesting to know what others have done to improve it... [/quote] Hi Daz sorry for the late reply I only just checked back on the thread My Mods are neck inserts Ki0gon wiring CTS pots/Switchcraft jack and upgraded tone cap I and Picato strings I am really thinking about putting some Tonerider PUPs in it to make it a bit more aggresive and I also rubbed down the glossy finish on the back of the neck plays and sounds fantastic

Geofios P bass

Welcome aboard pretty cool first post

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1388695186' post='2325054'] If you've got the money. They've got the bass. [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=13012210272519"]http://www.guitargui...=13012210272519[/url] [/quote] OMFG that aint cheap is it

Very greedy indeed but what can you do? I think Paypal is great but you have to keep your eye on it as it can sting you in stealth so to speak

[quote name='Rasta' timestamp='1388696574' post='2325081'] ....and the reggae rig - heavy all round [/quote]What is this reggae you speak of? lol nice rig though

I think Aria already do a Cliff Burton type bass but it is not a signature bass or am I wrong? or a Burton Ricky would be kinda cool

[quote name='Pembo' timestamp='1388691104' post='2324951'] If he's a guitarist by trade, it may be worth suggesting him trying a VM Jaguar short scale! The necks are obviously shorter, thus feeling more like a guitar. plus, the necks are very slim, again making it feel like a guitar. They are decent bass's, with decent tonal range. [/quote] Thats a pretty good point

FFS he wants enough for that think he is a bit of a wishful thinker what's it worth 600 quid tops?

[quote name='Mog' timestamp='1388606212' post='2323999'] VMJ's are great basses for few £s. [/quote] I agree on a slightly different note why not try the Vintage brand of basses? I have had these and squiers and can say that hands down I think they are better than the squiers they have Wilkinson hardware and PUPs and I think they are cheaper also
