    Blobdude! Was that the ad in gumtree? If it was, is it the guy who plays guitar in the Rory Gallacher tribute band and does the singer`s name begin with E? Jez

    Totally agree with you on try before you buy. I could have got mine a bit cheaper on the net but having read other threads I decided to try before I bought it. I can say that the build quality of mine is good with nicely finished frets etc. The body looks quite nice as well for a budget bass. I`m taking it to rehersal tomorrow night so I will find out how well the stock pickups sound at "real" volume. Jez

    I`ts got a Gotoh OEM style bridge in black chrome and a set of tuners I had from my Highway p bass. Nothing fancy as I don`t want to spend a wad of cash on it at the moment. Ordered the knobs from Bass parts direct and fitted a set of d`arrios I had kicking about. Jez

    Cheers for all the advice/opinions. I am now the owner of a Jazz and a very nice piece of kit it is too. I have changed the bridge and the tuners. Next on the list is a set of black knobs and a Fender logo. Jez

    Cheers Buff! I think that GAS is taking over and Mr Credit Card will be coming out to play ramorraw! (Translation:Glaswegian for tomorrow). Jez

    I want a Jazz. Don`t bloomin need one but the yearning is there. I`ve had a few Mexican ones and while they are okay, I always fancied a 75 re-issue. Now, not having the spondoolies for one, I was thinking of getting one of the Squires (not much differance eh?). I just like the natural finish. Could someone whose got one tell me what it`s like? Is it gigable the way it is? If I keep it for a while I might upgrade it. Cheers for any info. Jez

    Go for it Blob dude!! If you can`t/wont sell it then butcher it. It doesn`t seem to be any good to you in it`s present state, so go for it! Having said that, in the photo it looks well tasty in it`s present guize! There is a guy on e bay selling Mighty Mite necks that seem to be licened by Fender. I bought a scratchplate from him and it was painless. Here`s a link [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mighty-Mite-Maple-Lic-Neck-Fender-Precision-Bass-MM2907_W0QQitemZ330389897498QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item4cecc5c11a"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mighty-Mite-Maple-Li...=item4cecc5c11a[/url] Jez

    [quote name='MSL' post='683867' date='Dec 14 2009, 12:27 PM']Did anyone notice if his Hofner bass was plugged in? Couldn't see any evidence of a wireless set up. Must be imagining things.[/quote] I`m sure I seen a wireless ariel on the right side of his rig as you look at him. I`m not really a big beatles fan but it wasn`t too bad. And the old Ashdown pounding has returned again-how original. Jez

    Jimmy Egypt has always had a good name as do the girls at Strung Out. They looked at my mate`s Les Paul for nothing, told him what it needed done and quoted him a good price. Steve, strung out guitars are in the Saltmarket/Paddys Market/Trongate side of town. Here is a link: [url="http://www.strungoutguitars.com/"]http://www.strungoutguitars.com/[/url] From a nearly Weegie. Jez

    Munkman! Dont put a baddass on it. Not worth the money (ducks for cover from all the baddass lovers). I wouldn`t even change the pickups as you seem quite happy with the sound and if you go to sell it, you wont get your money back for the price of the pickups. If you feel it would benefit from a set up, get one done! It won`t do it any harm. I think 7string on here does em (correct me if I`m wrong!) and seems to do a good job, so why don`t you pm him? Buy some s/hand pedals and mess about with them for a bit of variety. Jez

    After cutting back on the number of basses I am left with 3, all P basses. Time to move one on. This US model I got from guitarguitar secondhand although it`s near mint. The guy who bought it new was a guitar player who fancied a bass so bought himself this one for £989 to "try one out". He lost intrest rapid and traded it for another guitar. That`s when I bought it. I had it up for sale locally but I would need another decent bass to replace it, so will try going down this route. You all know the score with these and this one is a really nice sunburst and is very light (please dont ask me to weigh it as I don`t have any scales). It comes with the SBK case but the strap/tools that come in the case weren`t there when I bought it. It has a changed scratchplate and a small dent on the bottom edge that cannot be seen when holding it normally and a very light pressure mark on the back of the bass. None of these marks have removed the paint. Other than that, its as new. I will be pinching the straplocks off the bass. I am looking for a trade for something 4 stringy, although not another P bass:not sure what and would prefer to do the trade within a reasonable driving distance of Paisley, which is just outside Glasgow. (What is reasonable? Try me). Cheers for looking, Jez [attachment=37900:DSC01277.JPG] [attachment=37901:DSC01278.JPG]

    Cant see it paying. The guy that owns CC Music in Glasgow (cant remember his name) sells 10 guitars (cue some Engelbert) to each bass he sells. Also, you`ve got guitarguitar and Merchant city who have decent stock and prices. Of course I could be wrong, mabye people don`t like the above mentioned shops. Jez

    I know it`s quite a specialist magazine but I do think that it`s a bit Kate Moss: bloomin thin. Jez

    The man`s a genius. If you can get a hold of a dvd called the Strat Pack get it, he plays in the house band and his playing is superb. He was in one of Jools Holland`s first bands for a while and whilst his playing was amazing, Jools was glad he left as he was costing him a fortune in food! You can keep your Jaco, Wooten, Miller and all that. He`s the man! Jez

    Ooops! Didn`t read the original post right, alcohol was involved your honour! Get a decent amp, sod the 2nd bass for now. (I know this has already been said, I`m just backtracking). Jez
  22. jezzaboy
    No question. Gotta have a spare, even a cheapo, won`t get too upset if something happens too it bass. I always take my least favourite to the gig and leave it in the bag as you never know what might happen...... We`re all doomed!! Jez
  23. jezzaboy
    Don`t you just love the ads that say something along these lines: Bass player wanted for sh*t hot new band. We are aming for a totally new direction, which sounds like nothing else out there and has never been done before. Must be commited as we are heading for the big time! Recreational drugs must be involved.... I went for a play with a bunch of guys a few years ago and when I asked about a pa, they said that all pubs and clubs had a pa, so they would not need one! Oh Yeah! Exit stage left! Jez

    I dunno man, I love everthing and everybody! Peace brothers and sisters. Jez

    Yeah, the sound is pretty even. I only mentioned it on here as I like to be totally honest. I will try and lift it up slightly. Jez
