Stage four, eBay yet again comes to the rescue as I start to ask sellers questions about said musical item, and ask what they may accept...if I don't get a rise I can then carefully move to stage five (otherwise known as DEFCON 5)

DEFCON is an inverse scale, 5 is the lowest 1 is the highest.

So that's what a bass neck on a 6 string tele body would look like.....ridiculous.

Mathematically wouldn't a zero radius object just be a point? Flat definitely works best for me as a description.

Yes and No, depends on which school of thinking you use.

Always loved Trace stuff. Location might help.

As previously mentioned looks genuine. Looks like a JV collector when looking at other items for sale.

Is it just me or are there not pictures of three different paint jobs in that advert?

Bought a MIM Classic 50s P from Scott. Great communication and totally honest about the smallest marks.

Deal with confidence

I can't believe how the prices of these are dropping. Absolute bargain for under £500 just remember to get a decent strap. GLWS

Lutes are fretted, aren't they? Gut frets rather than metal, wrapped round the neck.

I think originally they were scalloped and the ridges acted as frets.

EDIT: Spelling correction

Actually, it's a M2M model from Ola. Number #51.

Wow. The board on that is incredible. I always think the bodies on them look small how does it sit?

And one for fan fret lovers.

Is that a SS Boden or an Astral?

I bought ER20s for my girls (12 and 13), when we went to see Black Stone Cherry and Airbourne a couple of weeks ago. They struggled with the Bass levels at Wembley the year before, when we went to see Alter Bridge and Shinedown. No problems this time whatsoever. I am just about to buy a pair for myself now (Slash on Saturday ).

Wish i had taken ear plugs for Airbourne, two days of ringing wasn't the nicest.

Heard the original for the first time the other day and couldn't stop laughing at how bad it is.

I've got one of these (first bass) with an equally awful paintjob. Everything else is original mind. Was a pretty nice thing until i lent it to one of my mates for a year and he decided to paint it bright yellow and put some awful neon tribal tattoo designs on it! Might see if i can dig it out and rub it down for paint.

No idea whether its worth £140. From what i can remember it was better than any of the squiers' that other friends had to start off with in the mid 00's so might not be too badly priced.

I hope to god that this isn't a real advert. Not anyone on here by chance?

Ishibashi are very good. Got one of the weird Japanese special edition Jazz's earlier this year (PJ based on a 62 jazz with badass) was second hand a few marks. To door the price was £625 including shipping, VAT, import duty and parcel forces storage charge. Actual bass price was around £490.

Moving on to the eBay one, thats a Hipshot A not a badass. Its probably as people have said before at least £500 overpriced plus you don't know if its been rewired by a clown. As far as i'm aware Fender Japan don't make unlined jazz's currently.

Seeing as its trademarked i'm assuming Acoustic Science means these guys.

The global shipping programme is fairly easy to opt out of.

Can only say from experience, i used to use .145 tapered for drop A on a corvette and it sounded very clear. I know Amos Williams uses .145 for an A on 34" also. I remember looking at the DR DDT 5's at the time and was surprised the "heavy" set only goes to .135 but didn't try them so cant really comment.

I disagree with the premise that disliking a piece of music or a genre makes you a musical snob. Surely that would require you to consider one genre to be superior to others?

I'd say that different genres are just that - different. Not better or worse or superior or inferior, just different. And different people will like or dislike them according to their own personal taste - and that can change from day to day anyway!

Being snobbish about music is about as pointless as being snobbish about colours.

I probably have one of the oddest iTunes library's out of everyone i know. Don't think there is one Genre that isn't covered in some way, ill try and listen to something rather than judging it but there is some stuff i really just can't get into. Does that make me a snob for just disliking something?

It's not as if i'm saying the music i listen to is far superior to this or even that a certain band/genre is sh*t, i'm just saying its not for me.

Isn't part of liking music about not giving a toss what other people think anyway?

Really didn't think this would last this long at this price. Maybe just a sign of how skint everyone is.
