Why limit yourself to a P or a J? Get a G&L L 2000 tribute and you get the best of all worlds!! Jez

The Wilkinson brand is well respected in the 6 string world and makes some good gear. I have the vintage style tuners on my P and Jazz. They are bloomin good and only cost £24 a set. I always meant to get one of those bridges. Nice. Jez

The Affinity has the small sealed tuners whilst the Standard has open gear style ones. The A has a alder body and the S has a agathis body if I remember right. What differance this makes, I couldn`t tell you. Possibly better quality of maple used for the neck? I have owned a couple of Affinity`s, a black one and a lovely 2 t sunburst and they are decent enough basses. And you can pick em up for about £60 s/hand. Jez

Molan that is a seriously good looking bass! I have never seen one of those before. I live and learn. And that Pino is a looker too Clarky. How long are you keeping a hold of this one for Jez

Never mind the sofa or bass guitars, what`s happened to the Hypno camel CK? Or was it a goat? Jez

Just in case ya don`t know, Rick is on Planet Rock digital radio on a saturday morning, 10am till 1pm along with David "Kidd" Jenson Inteceptor and Fiesty. A thousnad laughs and some decent tracks to boot! [url="http://www.planetrock.com/"]http://www.planetrock.com/[/url] Jez

I wouldn`t like to hang by the love nuts till it`s worth £5000!!! Some people shouldn`t be allowed access to the internet. Jez

[quote name='TheGreek' post='991244' date='Oct 17 2010, 04:13 PM'][b][size=3]I would compare them more to the original Volkswagon Beetles - didn't change or improve despite everybody around them building better items. Stuck with drum brakes and the engine in the boot they did not evolve. Same with Fenders - same crap electronics and wood from the 50s till the modern day, only recently decided to install active p/ups where others have used these since the 80s. Supposedly market leaders - basically selling square wheels!! Quality Control is merely a concept rather than reality! Some might argue that Fenders are like Porsche - I don't think this is the case as Porsche improved over the years. I think you may have guessed that I'm not a fan![/size]!![/b][/quote] Square wheels? Whilst I agree that they ain`t the be all and end all of bass guitars, most of the best music up to about 1975 was made with Fender bass guitars. I have owned lots of Fenders but I also own and use other makes. Can you not come up with something original as we have had loads of topics that go "Fender`s are crap, discuss". Jez

I wonder how many pieces the body is made from as I can`t see any joins It doesn`t look like a genuine Fender sticker on the headstock so mabye it`s a copy? Sorry, I mean hybird. Jez

As was said earlier, the next one! Which should be on saturday all going well with Mr Finance. A G&L L2000 tribute, sunburst with maple neck. As I will be skint after buying this, this will be the one bass. Jez

Liked Imelda on Jools tonight. The last time I watched her on the program, her bass player was playing an upright but tonight had a nice white Jazz with a rosewood board through a TE stack. Simple but effective. Jez

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='985585' date='Oct 12 2010, 12:11 PM']Isn't 300 (+ P&P) a bit too much for this?[/quote] What makes you think that? Could it be that the bass is a pile of crap with a dodgy paint job, the strap is held on with gaffa tape and worse than that, the knobs don`t match!! Jez

Thanks for the nice comments. It`s unusual for me to get a bargain as I am the worst person in the world at buying/selling basses. Some nice looking basses Geoff and KB. Up close my T1 looks pretty beaten up (reliced? No shag*ed!) but like I said, it plays really well and if you get a chance to get one cheap, go for it. Jez

Totally covers. Not intrested in doing original material at all. Jez
