I havn't actually got a budget, but i was hoping to flog my yam and then purchase a squire/mex p bass, if theres anyone on here who would like to trade give me a shout, that way we could try both bass out. My band are getting a few gigs these days so the pocket money that im saving up should help towards my purchase, Thanks for all the advise, much appreciated and taken in, looks like i will be looking for a squire, as far as whats on the headstock it doesnt really matter to me but if it says fender then all the better, afterall looks are all accounted for when your on stage, and you have hundreds of people watching you lol

I've got one and it's awesome apart from the totally gay sonic blue paint job! Neck is excellent, pickups are noisless with excellent output & it has the vintage tuners & a much better high-mass bridge. What's not to like? Rich.[/quote] actually i quite like the blue paint, i just dont want a black one, ive had to many black bass's

Im looking to replace my bass, i have at the moment a almost new yamaha bb614, i love the bass to bits, its so comfortable to play, but im not a big lover of active bass's. Ideally I would like a Fender presicion but i cant really afford a genuine american, ive looked at new mexicans and i see a few squires around, i found a classic vibe 60s p bass squire and liked the look of it, but then i see the mexicans for a little more dosh, i know there not proper fenders but its all i can afford, and at least there not a copy as such, they are licenced through fender ( I think), what would your choice be? Mexican Or Squire? or if any body has any other ideas, but it must be a fender of some sort, NO JAZZ cos i dont like the shape of them, and no P**S taking im a new bass player and only started playing 18 months ago at the age of 43, see you can teach an old dog new tricks. thanks guys any help info would be appreciated

i have a black 614, by far the best bass on budget, would love a scratch plate but what colour? would also love a baddass bridge anybody know which baddass would fit

i use a yamaha bb614, good bit of kit once it was set up right, and at a sensible price, £239 from back alley music

anybody got an opinion on a aria fender precision copy its a 2000 model, looking for a cheap back up

just covered a load of gear myself for my band, 1 litre of contact adhesive, £8.00 from wickes, and got my cloth from maplins 99p for a quarter of a meter but its 1.5 meters wide, use a really sharp stanley , a doddle and looks the muts nuts. DIY M8 its cheaper

DAMON MINCHELLA from Ocean Colour Scene, and i cant believe Steve Harris has only been mentioned once

[quote name='steantval' post='366491' date='Dec 30 2008, 06:38 PM']Peter Hook a total dickhead, looks and plays bass like a total t*at. Colin Hodgkinson has been setting high standards for many years, listen to some material from Back Door. The guy out of the Blockheads......awesome.[/quote] hooky is an awesome bass player, call him a dickhead, take a look in the mirror, everyone to there own but there is no need to be abusive

thanks for that suppose i should carry a spare battery with me

call me dumb but ive only been playing for around a year, but in june i purchased a new bb614 yamaha, not relising that this bass was an active only, i wanted both! like my first bass a bb1100s where you could switch it between active and passive, Do you think i could have it modified so i could play in passive aswell? and if so could you recommend any one to carry out the work? im based in leicester thanks guys
