Used the bass at rehearsal tonight. It doesn't sound half bad! I'll be using it live on Wednesday

That's when mine arrives!

How did it sit in the mix?

Best bass to come out of NAMM so far! Looks lovely!

I'm completely the opposite of this.

I would love to have an instrument that was accessible to all, I would want it to be a good instrument of course but would much rather a 'cheap' model than something so expensive fans of my music and god forbid my playing () would not be able to buy it.

This!

I would also argue that the best of the Squier range is now as good as or better than what comes out of Fender's Mexican plant.

The years when Squier was a dirty word have long since passed, in my eyes at least.

Mine is on the way!

Just a tip - I had a Squier Jazz on here for sale for over a week with no bites - I advertised the body and neck separately and they sold within hours! Plus they were easier to pack for shipping, just wrap in bubble wrap and a makeshift box made from other boxes!

I like the cut of this man's jib ;-)

Slightly off the wall PM incoming.

Have one of these with a rosewood board, cracking bass, lots of tonal variety, size 0 Jazz bass neck (I challenge you to find one much thinner!) well worth the £ asked.

Looks like they have re-vamped the budget line of combos too.

Nice!!

Which of those pics is the most accurate version of the colour? Looks incredible without the guard!

EDIT:

So getting one of these as a mod toy. Which would you say is the closest to the actual colour? I have to say the tort guard is my favourite.

Great minds think alike!

Get rid of the Lakland:

1. Biggest return
2. No inherent sentimental value (it sounds like the 'rare' factor is the main thing it has going for it!)
3. I'm sure you could get a decent Jazz sound out of the Peavey or the G&L

I have a Rumble 15 (previous gen) which I rate very highly as a bedroom amp.

If I had a regular requirement for something bigger I would be all over one of these. They look SO good. And no doubt if the quality is consistent with the previous range they will be cracking amps.

Manchester area but regularly travel down to South Wales and happy to meet up on the way.

For once being in London is completely useless! Bit out of the way for either of us really!

Possibly interested - where are you based?

I wonder if that body would fit a standard Fender J neck? At that price it's almost cheaper than a refin in surf green....

This. Throw in a white pearl plate and that's me sold.

Thanks for your help; I tried a VM Squier Jazz and loved it.. Nothing came close for the money and I was genuinely astonished with the quality. The RBX has gone and the Squier is now my travelling bass of choice,

Glad to be of service. I love my VM P!

Oosh. That looks ace. Still toying with the idea of getting the Surf Green Jazz.

Apologies first because I believe my photos have gone a bit wonky.

Nonetheless I'm pleased to introduce my pair of P's, the first is a VM Precision with a 1/4 Pounder thrown in there. The second, a MIM Deluxe Active P that I basically stole (£300 second hand on eBay) in about 2005/6.

It arrived today! Exactly what I was after, with room to drive it further if I want to! Thanks for the advice folks!

Possibly interested in the LPB1 - can it add a bit of drive to the tone or is it a completely clean boost?

Had one off a car boot sale for £30 many moons ago. Had to completely gut the electronics and start again from scratch, but it ended up as a pretty decent sounding bass. Mine weighed a tonne though.

Might have to pop over there and make my thoughts known! Still, if the blue made it over here at the same price as the other SUB basses I don't think I would be able to stop myself!

On a slightly related note, did you see the new SUB finishes?

That blue!!!

Great deal. I still await the day that a Daphne Blue HW1 P pops up for sale on here. It will be mine!

So once again thanks to everyone for the advice and recommendations!

For the time being I've gone for a BDI21 (I was sold by the DI functionality) which should be arriving either Monday or Tuesday!

Thanks again.

I would take a look at the VM and CV Squiers, great quality basses
