I wouldn`t bother with how they compare against a "real" Overwater. It`s a fantastic looking bass and you seem well happy with it, so, result!!!! Jez

Is SUNN not one of those Jap o crapo , or mabye not so crapo, 70`s brand. I think someone has a Sunn Mustang bass on here The parts cbs take over sounds a bit far fetched to me. Jez

I have 4 at the mo and I play them all. I tend to rotate the ones I play in the house or at rehersals but gig with either the Jazz or the g & l. My problem is I love the neck on the Jazz but love the pickups/sound from the g & l. I really wish I could be the guy who plays one bass all the time and is happy to do so. Jez

What are you basing the "ranking" on M? Is it for the number of posts, amount of friends on here, talent or lack of, biggest wind up merchant, most notorious....? Jez

Good work guys. Like the new format. Jez

There was a guy on Gumtree up here selling a "vintage" Tanglewood P bass copy from 1983 for 150 pounds. So 1983 is now vintage?? Jez

Ta for all the advice. Can`t afford the RS range so I have got a 2x10 BC and am well chuffed. It sounds great and it is light enough to carry in one hand. Just have to save up for the amp head to go with it Jez

I might be gettin a new cab tomorrow and fancy one of the TC BC cabs but 2x10 or 2x12? Whats the differance in sound between the 10 and 12, if any? I had a 2x10 combo but only gigged it a few times and have always used a 1x15. Are the cabs any good? They weigh 20kg which is ideal for me as I stay one floor up and TC`s more expensive gear gets a good right up. Or how about using 2- 15inch cabs, 1 an Ashdown and the other a SWR, although they both have Eminence speakers. Jez

That`s ok for 40 quid, a good wee project. Talking of things Japo crapo, what has happened to Bassassasin? Apologies for thread diversion. Jez

At the weekend I picked up a Squier Mike Dirnt P bass for just over a ton and after replacing the pickup, strings and tuners it is playing like a diva. It has the lowest action of any P bass I have owned and the neck feels fantastic. I have owned US, Jap and Mexican P`s but this just feels the best out of the lot. And it`s a chepo from Indonesia! Just goes to show it aint about the value but as said above, how it feels and sounds in your hands. Jez

I have never noticed any buzzing but then again I use it in passive mode most of the time. I`m pretty sure that all the active circut does is boost the signal as the tone controls are passive all the time, but don`t quote me on that Jez

You could try this link. You might find the answer here. Jez [url="http://www.badassbassplayers.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=48&sid=32d1a0e921377956269d4a59c86ed83f"]http://www.badassbassplayers.com/forum/vie...69d4a59c86ed83f[/url]

If you look at Weller doing it on Jools`S Later shows, they seem to play it at a slower speed. Jez

Look on the bright side, there are loads of guitarist up here. Or rather, people who think that they can play in a band Hope your singer get better soon. Jez

Got to agree with you Lozz, he seems a right decent guy when you see him on the documentry Back and forth. And he has given me P bass gas! Jez

On the recent garage tour (a tour of peoples garage surprisingly) he played P basses and his black and the gold Laklands. The black one is very nice indeed. Here is a link to Nate talking about P basses. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0eqlNKBFs8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0eqlNKBFs8[/url] Jez

Dave Gilmours guitar tech has said that no matter what guitar Dave plays, he still sounds like Dave. It`s all in the fingers. If I played Marcus M jazz I would still sound sh*t Jez

[quote name='joe_bass' post='1327964' date='Aug 4 2011, 10:54 PM']I've never played a Fender that is seriously flawed. I've had a MIM jazz, a MIA jazz & currently a Deluxe MIA P bass. I had the chance to play a fair few different ones when I bought my MIM & several years later the MIA. Both times some were noticeably not as good as others, but none were dogs at all. Where are all these awful Fenders people speak of on here??[/quote] I gotta agree with this. I have had 2 of the new model P basses and the quality was spot on. The first one was £800 brand new and the second as new which cost £695 which is more like the price they should be. There will be dodgy basses from any volume manufacturer. Mabye more from Fender as they manufacture more than anyone else. Still, this is no excuse for poor qc on occasions. Jez
