I have a noodle that's now on it's way to becoming a tune

Lovely job and great groove bass solo bit at the end.

Your welcome mate, and yes i would have thought the alder would of come up lighter' all my ash bass's are heavier than my alder ones except my cort gb74 which is super light.

I have a v7 4 from the second lot Thomann got in and its heavy where as a friend just got one [again from Thomann] and its definitely lighter, its exactly the same spec as mine except mines natural and his is sunburst both are ash and maple ... i havent heard that wood has been shaved off i just presumed the weight loss was due to different cuts.. to my ear there is no compromise in sound either.

I have had 2 vmj's in the past and both were nice sounding ,especially the natural one with maple body, i had read there would be a big improvement by replacing the duncan designed with u.s. seymour duncans there wasnt ... i used the vintage sjb 1's as i wanted more of a classic fender sound but most people couldnt tell the difference... i also replaced the electrics with all fender original and this also had next to no audible effect my conclusion was that they are very good as they come and i would leave as is unless your after a bigger output in which case the quarter pounders would give you that, but there is always a sacrifice made with that classic jazz bass tone i.m.o.

Electric Ladyland was my other choice too ... oh and i forgot some Floyd ,and Dylan...hmmm

Marvin Gaye ..Whats going on Miles Davis.. Kind of blue Grateful Dead ..American Beauty I never tire of these.

Chocolate sprinkles anyone ?

They look and sound great i watched another vid where Richie Blake is playing something weather reporty , the bass used in this didnt sport the jazz p.u. is that an old one ? Also how much are these instruments ?

ah i'm late as ever ... the last time i had roto flats they still had brass ball ends !

Could be roto flats ,they are higher tension than TI's my TI's are quite boingy

The seller also has this for sale i paid 5o notes for something very similar a little while back did i get a result or is this extremely overpriced ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1973-Japanese-Made-P-Bass-Style-Bass-Guitar/192369144654?_trkparms=aid%3D444000%26algo%3DSOI.DEFAULT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D49131%26meid%3Dbd31a61e870d4f6ca1917402344fdf73%26pid%3D100752%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D192371066856&_trksid=p2047675.c100752.m1982

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1509445143' post='3398891'] There's supposed to be a planet populated entirely by all the lost and forgotten biro pens. I'm not sure whether fountain pens live there as well. [/quote] ... perhaps it was Hotblack Desiato looking for a bass player !

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1509442786' post='3398860'] It's Pauline - you were very close with the Royston Vasey Local Shop! [/quote]Ah that would explain it ,Bilbo was obviously mistaken for Pauline

It looks like he's playing an Epiphone rivoli which has to be the bass most unlikely to cut through a heavy guitar mix !
