[quote name='AustinArto' timestamp='1452818115' post='2953863'] I bought a double bass from gedomusik.de so I now call it überbassenbassen. Which isn't actual German but it makes me chuckle. [/quote] Uberbassenbassen - I like that lol

[quote name='Mikkoantt' timestamp='1451853271' post='2944102'] I have a Limelight Precision with jazz bass sadle widht in fiesta red. Amazing sounding and playing bass. [/quote] I played one exactly like that (it was for sale on here a while back, and I should have bought it!) It was a superb bass. Mark will build you one to this spec I have a 2000's US P, and while the neck is not Jazz width It is slightly narrower than most older US P's, and certainly not as deep, front to back The Squier Classic Vibe P in Fiesta red also has a very similar neck, and it's amazing quality Have seen these go for around £250 second hand, and they're worth every penny of that I'm amazed at just how much necks vary in dimension, within the same basic model / design Good luck with your search EDIT: Having seen FuNkShUi's post above I now realise it was that bass I had played

Hi ColinH, Can't help you with the bass, I'm afraid But I just wanted to say, sorry this happened to you. It may have been a long time ago - But I bet it still hurts or annoys you. And I wanted to wish you good luck in tracking it down. I can understand why you want to do this It might be a long shot, but I'd urge BC'ers to check the serial numbers if they have a Squier of that age Cheers now Marc

Around 300W of power with one 8 ohm speaker. Extra power (550W), for larger gigs, when used with 2x 8 ohm cabs It's small and very lightweight - and that's why I bought mine Didn't break the bank either

If you do end up repairing this yourself - Gorrilla glue is really strong. And I've heard of at least one luthier who uses it. Though I would say, I'd be tempted to get a luthier to fix it, and set it up. The soundpost is vital - so don't put the bridge & strings on if it isnt in place. Re strings, that's a whole can of worms, and hugely more varied than strings for bass guitar. If you want to play pizz (fingers) rather than bow - I found innovation silver slaps were a good start. They're reasonably priced, low tension + I found them much easier tension-wise than steel strings. Can't bow them though..... As others have ssid - you can get 2nd hand strings on here too. I'd opt to spend a bit more and get an adjudtable bridge You can then experiment to find a better action / set up for yourself Most of all though - this is an exciting new journey. Good luck
