I get this problem occassionally with my 'wick Thumb. Thing is it only happens with one particular lead. Sound doesn't cut out completely - just loses a lot of volume.

I don't have sufficient vocabulary to describe how beautiful that is. What's the weight like?

The black precision I bought from Nick (above) is very very nearly the one. Bought it as a back up but it now gets most of the action. It's the cheapest bass I own, but it's the one most likely to put a smile on my face.

Forgetting to turn on the wireless pack..............do that quite often

[/quote] Note: Dave doesn't work on Sunday's so if you're doing the drive avoid this day - they struggle to do 'discounts' or px deals when Dave's not there.

Looks good to me.......................Bruce Foxton should have had one like this

Just like a Lakland Works on mine

Cheers Nick, will do, I'd go Tort or Black - just hate the white!

Hmmm, bit of a disappointment, I was looking to add a nice black pg from Jeannies for my DJ5

[quote name='mikeh' post='115993' date='Jan 8 2008, 12:22 AM']I've loved the DJ's I've tried. Even though I love the Bongo would swap in a flash for a DJ[/quote] DJ4 or 5?

To continue the pedantic theme - Silicone contains silicon so in principle if the polish contains silicone it also contains silicon (just not elemental silicon).

I sold a MM Sterling to buy a DJ5. Would say the build quality is every bit as good as the MM. Also not a single dead spot - amazing.

Thought the DJ4 was a 34"? The DJ5 is deffo a 35" - my poor pinky reminds me of this every time I play it. (Also hate the white pickguard on my black sparkle DJ - it's just gotta be black!)

Only 18 last year (tho could've booked XMas Eve and NYE 10 times over) - only half as many as normal. Smoking ban has hit badly around me with a number of our old venues going T*** up.

Small pub about 15 minutes by car for NYE. With both me and the guitarist down with severe man flu and 2 x 45 minute plus 1hr30min (inc. bongs) it wasn't an easy night. I always look forward to the XMas season gigs but I'm always relieved when they're finished. Might have a break from NYE gig wise this year. Happy new year all...

Nicely rescued!

Have a look on www.warwick.de - forum. They're a friendly lot and you may find a nice 5'er if you post a want ad. I got my BO Thumb off the site last year, couple of months old and mint for well under shop price. Warwicks aren't everybody's favourite bass at the mo so you can grab a bargain. FWIW also I would go for a non-ash body standard 'vette they don't hold value too well (maybe excepting a $$) - I found this out last year when I was trading up to the Thumb! IMHO I think the bubinga or ovangkol bodied versions have a tighter sound and the body stands up to wear and tear better. Good luck

Went for the Thumb meself. I had a Corvette and really liked it but got fed up of the singer in the band making fun of the upper 'phallus'.

OTPJ, A friend as one very similar to the first photograph but in a natural (waxed?) finish like a Warwick. Sounds ok - a little thin, would benefit from pup upgrade but I thought worth the money. Personally tho cash wise I'd probably go with something Squier at the mo - like the Pete Wentz you posted.
