    Agree with some of the other points. Don`t but anymore basses, get a Asdown Mag 3oo or a Peavey amp as even though you want to play in a more mellow band you will still need some bottom end especially if there are nessecary evils like a drummer involved. Get out there and do it as you will learn a lot quicker, have a good laugh and women love guys that play guitar, until they realise that you play bass and they turn their attention to the lead guitarist.

    I think that Ibanez are fantastic basses. That six stringer`s a beast. A few years ago I had a GSR205 and it was a great bass just one string too many. The build quality and finish are fantastic. I own 2 at the moment a srx700 and a sr700. I bought Dub Junkies Stingray and it`s a fantastic bass, but you know what, I think I still prefer my Ibby`s. Jez

    [quote name='farmer61' post='568261' date='Aug 13 2009, 06:26 PM']Are they safe for storing basses. More interested in hearing about neck/bass damage rather than them falling off the wall.[/quote] I had a few of the Hercules "grab it" type that spring into place when you put the neck into it. They were good and did not damage the basses. Bit more expensive but considering the damage if it fell off, it`s worth it. Jez

    [quote name='dave_bass5' post='567663' date='Aug 13 2009, 09:18 AM']A lot of the weddings we do have a free bar, so lots of drunk women, and its nice to see them enjoying themselves. Especially when doing it with their mates 5 ft in front of us [/quote] Right, I retract my previous thread. Women, free beer, sold to the numpty with the 4 string thing! Jez

    [quote name='Clarky' post='566891' date='Aug 12 2009, 04:00 PM']Yes, sorry Uncle Chris Edit: I have indeed shelved all thoughts of a respray and will instead stick to buying basses and selling them a few weeks later at a loss [/quote] Clarky I think that you and I went to the same economic classes as that`s exactly what I do. Mabye we should start a support group, S.W.B.B.A.S.W.L.A.A.L.L. This stands for: Sado`s Who Buy Basses And Sell Weeks Later At A Large Loss. Of course you could change the W to something else.....

    Sod weddings, functions and sod functions in general, especially bowling, cricket and snooker clubs. It might be a better paying gig than playing boozers but at least you get a good reaction especially when there are loads of drunk women about!! Jez

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='566339' date='Aug 11 2009, 10:29 PM']It's also because Gibson took over from the UK distributor the other year, so you can only get Epiphone & Gibson gear at a few authorised dealers in the UK these days. They're not selling through the smaller shops anymore.[/quote] Your spot on there. Merchant City Music in Glasgow used to sell Gibson/Epiphones and now the only place you can buy them in Glasgow as far as I know is Guitar guitar. Kind of narrows down your choice and haggalin options. Jez

    The thing that gets me about Laklands is the price. You can buy a US P cheaper than an equivilent Lakland. The latest P basses are fantastic and as said, the build quality is better and the case is the best on the market. You get a gig bag with a Lakland. The Lakland`s are good basses but how can they justify the cost of a bass made by Cort in Indonesia or wherever compared to the cost of producing in the Us. And yeah, I know they send them to Chicago to be finished. Jez

    Just traded my Jazz with the dub man for his beautiful stingray. Cracking guy to deal with, no messing about and if he puts any of his G&L`s up for sale buy it without hesitation! As for me that`s it I`m skint! Cheers Keir. Jez

    I`ve got almost the same problem but for different reasons. This year I have bought: Fender us p bass, g&l l2000 tribby, Ibanez sr300, srx700, sr7oo, ARTB100, Fender Classic Jazz, Epi Ebo, thunderbird and am planning to get something different again. The problem seems to be that I lust after something, convince myself that I will like the neck better or something like that and then 2 weeks later I am fed up with it. It is never anything to do with the play-ability of the bass as that can usually be sorted. And I`m crap at selling things on and drop the price low just to get shot of the things. I need help as my credit card bill is gettin bloomin scary. Does this happen to anyone else or am I just not right? Jez

    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='560639' date='Aug 4 2009, 09:20 PM']Didn't Chas play bass at one time too - in Heads Hands and Feet with Albert Lee?[/quote] Yep, he`s on one of the Whistle Test dvd`s doing "warming up the band" playing a P bass. He was also one of the first electric bass players to become well know in the 60`s, playing in the Outlaws along with Ritchie Blackmore where he played a Framus something. Jez

    Fender Classic 60`s Jazz for sale. Made in Mexico this is the lightest Jazz I have owned. It is in as new condition apart from a small piece of paint that is missing from the rout for the bridge pickup. It is on the edge and is barley visable and I didn`t notice when I bought it but had better mention it. It has a badass fitted and I will include the original vintage style one. It has a new set of stadium elites fitted. The neck on it is lovely with a sort of vintage tint. It is a great sounding bass and the only reason for moving it on is that I am playing Ibanez`s (cheers Barry!) and this one aint getting used any more. Up for sale for £350. Please note this is collection only or I will travel up to 100 miles to meet someone. Cheers! Forgot to say I am in Paisley just outside of Glasgow.

    Aye MrJim, you made a good job of it. Did it perform ok on sat? Spoke to my mate who changed the pickup and he suggests that you check the wiring at some point as his soldering aint the best! Jez

    Can anyone recomend a decent set of speakers stands for our peavey`s as they are looking dodgy on top of our £35 stands from Maplins and where is the best place to get em. Cheers, Jez

    I think his name is Jammy Bas**rd, or something similar.

    Merchant city in Glasgow have one and by god it`s well sparkly!! I think that it`s not that bad a price when you consider that a lot of the Jap P`s are as good if not better build quality than their Us counterparts. And you get the SD and Badass. Jez

    Bump for the G&L. Why hasn`t someone bought this yet? These are fantastic basses, I`ve had 2 four stringers and they do the lot and are built like a brick sh**house. Why did I sell mine, cause I`m a numpty!! Jez
  24. jezzaboy
    BB I wish you had told me the other night that you were gonna put it back up Bob. I bought a Ibanez sr700 last night from guitarguitar and I would have taken this beauty off yer hands! Are you using the Squire to replace this one? Aye, you know quality when you see it. Heh, heh. BUMMER! Jez

    [attachment=29416:DSC00130.JPG]Right ladies and gents. What we have here is another one of my fads. A wee story as well. Whilst perusing a upmarket hi fi shop in Glasgow, I got talking to the guy about Linn Sondeck turntables, As I used to be into hi fi years ago I was asking him how much they go for now. As they are the Ferrari of the turntable world I knew it would be a few bob. He mentioned 14 and 16. I realised that he was talking about 14 thousand!!!!! The guy has speakers at £35,000 for flucks sake!! So I ended up buying a ex demo turntable off him, a Pro Ject Debut 3, for a bit less that the above and went and spent £40 on secondhand vinyl. Set it up at home thinking, groovy, just like the old days, so I got out my tin and skined up....Naw only kidding. I lost intrest in 2 days and now need shot of it. It is almost new condition, has an ortrafon cartridge and plays 45`s and Lp`s. If you come round you can hear it playing Dark side and it`s true, it does sound better on vinyl. The same turntable will cost £190 in Richer Sounds so a bargin is too be had. Pm me if intrested. Jez [attachment=29415:DSC00133.JPG] [attachment=29416:DSC00130.JPG]
