    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='747279' date='Feb 16 2010, 02:34 PM']I was looking at one of these the other day in a gorgeous chrome orange/cayenne colour. Amazing value for a mere £239. Go for it, I'd say [/quote] Is this the colour you were talking about otpj? I had a look at it in guitarguitar on monday and it looks even better in the flesh.

    Markus Good bass the sr300. Had a red sparkle / maple neck one and it was well worth it. The build quality is really good and the bass punches well above it`s price. I`ve never seen a bad modern ibby. The only thing is, if you play finger style, the shape of the pickups mean that you may find it difficult to anchor your thumb on it. I ended up sticking a heavy plectrum in the gap between the pickup and the body rout. Nice range of colours too. And while your buying the bass, any chance of buying a full stop!! Jez

    Ibanez lovers.

    jezzaboy replied to Les's topic in Bass Guitars

    Les Sold my P bass yesterday and went down and spent the cash on an ATK300. Great bass, can do a passable imitation of a stingray and a P bass. Lots of sounds available. I`ve had a SR500 in the past and this thing is much better. Wouldn`t say that it`s the best looking bass in the world, looks huge but the body is roughly the same size as a jazz and is nice and light due to the ash body. The neck on it is well chunky though but it`s worth it! Cant wait to crank it up!!! Jez

    Just sold my P bass to Johnnyfrog. Nice guy, no messing about, a thoroughly decent fellow. Jez

    Regarding Haircut 100. My on/off wife was into them big time and even sent Les the bass player and Nick a pair of underpants each. And she was always dissapointed she never got a reply. Strange woman. I always slagged her as I was a total heavy rock dude at the time. Fast forward a few years and I love fantastic day and love plus one. I am indeed a sad old man. Jez

    I`ve got a black P bass for sale/swap on gumtree the noo and I thought I would stick it on here and see if anything intresting turns up. It`s a Z8 serial number which I thinks makes it an 08 model, originally bought last year. It has tuners from a 57 Jap re-issue with the long keys and has a black scratchplate fitted. It has the nitro finish and is starting to wear nicley. There are some scratches on the back, not through to the wood, a couple of small dings on the front and a small mark on the headstock. It has been gigged and is a great bass, I just fancy something different. I`m looking for an Ibanez (especially an ATK) or a yamaha, 4 strings only, or WHY got? The cash value would be around £380 so I would be looking for something around that value. I would like to trade with someone within a reasonable distance of Paisley (next to Glesga!). Any questions, gives a shout. [attachment=42474:1600689_1_.jpg] [attachment=42475:1600768_2_.jpg] [attachment=42476:1600862_1_.jpg] Cheers, Jez Sold to Johnny Frog!!!

    My VMJ has a Gotoh OEM black chrome bridge fitted and I think it looks better than a baddass. I have a ba on my P bass and I had one on a classic Jazz I owned and I never noticed a bit of differance! But mabye that`s down to my playing prowess lol. I prefer the look of the Gotoh as well. And a new baddass is about £75. Here`s a link: [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Hardware___Parts/Bridges___Tailpieces/Bass,b.html?page=1"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Hardware...s,b.html?page=1[/url] Jez

    It`s a bit of a strange one. The 70`s Jazz bass has a bullet truss rod at the head and I can`t see one. The neck binding looks like a 70 reissue neck but the tuners are the vintage/Jap type with the long keys. And the reissue has a blank neck plate as the serial number is on the back of the head. Bit of a strange one. As was mentioned earlier, if you don`t know anything about guitars, why spend 300 quid on one? Also would you buy a Jazz from someone who states "Ive checked fender jass bass guitars on e bay". Jez

    Check this out. Starting price of £1000? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HYBRID-PRECISION-BASS_W0QQitemZ260547138713QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item3ca9d1d499"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HYBRID-PRECISION-BAS...=item3ca9d1d499[/url] How much is a Hondo body worth? (Paging Captain J). Baddass=£70, Fender pup=£50, pickgaurd and thumb rest=£40, Status neck=£250, belonged to a guy from the Hollies=35p. I wonder what music shops told him to insure it for a grand? Jez

    Aye Krispin, I know what you mean. They are great basses but I could not get used to the way it sits. Too much time playing Fenders! Good price with a hard case. Have a bump! Jez
  13. jezzaboy
    Aha! So it a good thing then. That`s me chuffed! Jez
  14. jezzaboy
    What exactly is a zero fret for? I have one on my Status but why........... Jez
  15. jezzaboy
    What`s the deal with "they aren`t as good as Keith and John." Pino is one of the best bass players sround and Zak is a fantastic drummer. Moon was a vastly overated drummer. He is one of those guys who got better after he died. The performance was a bit dodgy but hey, it`s rock n roll!! Jez

    [quote name='skankdelvar' post='734867' date='Feb 4 2010, 11:04 AM']Given this is a Hawkwind tribute, you should stay 'in character'. Depart in the manner favoured by their erstwhile bass player, Mr Lemmy Kilmister. Arrive home from jail in the States, go round and shag all their wives.[/quote] Didn`t one of their guitarist say he was popping out for something and the next time they seen him, it was 5 years later. Huw Lloyd something or other. More than likley tripping his t*ts off. Jez

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='734533' date='Feb 3 2010, 09:35 PM']Nice bass mate, if you ever want it re-finned in yellow give me a shout.[/quote] Wayne, the scary thing is I think that you are serious That is seriously nice. I showed my woman the pics, trying to drop a hint and all she said was "nice rug". Bloody women, can`t live with em.... Jez

    What I`d like to know is how you can be a Hawkwind tribute band and be a trio!! Tell him to stuff it. And the drummer if he`s wanting to go along with the guitarist. I would never let anyone tell me what to play, I can ba*ls it up on my own thank you. If you aren`t happy you should walk. It is supposed to fun after all. By the way, like the idea of the tea cosy.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='731743' date='Feb 1 2010, 02:20 PM']+1 I really can't understand (other than laziness) why so many folk list items as collect only (ebay is especially bad) it's almost like they don't want to sell their gear. It's real easy to box things up and organise collection - in fact I enjoy it (as anyone who's bought anything big off me will testify). I think it is well ignorant to expect that this forum is just for people that live in 50 mile radius of yourself. Ok the shipping adds a bit to the final cost but it is easily recouped when you sell the item on again. Having said that all, I've sold gear on here when alternatives are readily available only because the alternatives won't ship.... also I think you can make intuitive judgements on the condition of an item who's seller can't be arsed to ship. So it's swings and roundabouts for me.[/quote] That`s a mental statement. People list it as collect only due to laziness?. Well ignorant? I have put stuff for sale on here as collect due to the fact I work all week and don`t have the time to post or the packaging materials to pack the stuff with. I also had a bad experiance a couple of years ago when stuff I sent went walkies: no end of hassle. I also advertise the stuff on gumtree and that`s where I sell most of my gear. I only put it on here to see if anyone local wants it and I like people to try before they buy. If you don`t want to collect the gear from the buyer, then don`t buy it. But I agree with Jon, stick the location in the heading. Jez

    You say in the post that you are happy with the sound that you get from your Jazz, so why change it? Some people change basses to find a tone that they are really happy with, which you seem to have found already. The L2000 is capable of doing both Jazz and P bass sounds and is a great bass in it`s own right. Beware though, the neck width can vary from 42mm to 44mm and the neck can be chunky especially compared to a jazz. It is a very versatile bass. Jez

    That candy apple Jazz is mine I tell you!!! I`ll get me crowbar called Mable...... Jez

    Words of wisdom on bass. From me? Wrong guy!!! You are quite welcome to come down and have a blast on mine on saturday. It`s a Highway 1 but it`s near enough! We are playing in Elderslie. Jez
  24. jezzaboy
    Ah Steve, you are finally seein sense!! Some people say that they have only one sound but in a live setting, I find that they cut through like nothing else. As for value about, £300 sounds about right for one in good nick and no issues but bear in mind that you can get one of the new ones, which are supposed to be excellent, from Soundslive mail order for £389. Jez

    I`ve got a set of Status flats on mine and they sound like....well flats! Bit dull but nice and fat and at about £19 a set worth a go. I prefer the tone I get with the flats to the D`arrios I had on the jazz before. You get them direct from their website. Jez
