Loving the candy apple red Jazz on sale there too! Out of the two you were looking at I'd choose the 399 one. Nearly half price! I'd actually buy that if I had the money. The wording says bolt on but picture is a thru neck. Which is it?

Crikey my local store nevada has the contemporary J 4 up for £521! I thought the RRP was much lower than £580. Shows how much I know! Your local store must be the one with the big sale on as they have the J 4 for £329! That is a good saving isn't it!!

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1394929125' post='2396908'] Don't underestimate the quality of the Tanglewaters. A lot of people who own one of those and the British-made Overwaters tend to say there's not a lot between them. My Contemporary J4 is better than every MIM Fender I've played and most MIA Fender (there have been two MIAs that have been better sounding/playing). Sadly I've only had a chance to play a Rockbass and not a German made Warwick so can't compare to those. Maybe someone who's played both can say of there's a big difference between them. [/quote] I'm not underestimating them, I started on a Tanglewood Rebel 4k and it was a cool bass. But if I was to spend 400 on a new bass for myself I'd definitely make sure I've searched all the second hand markets in case of a bargain. There was a J5 for sale on here a while ago too. I also really like the look of them and would even buy one at the right price.

Buy a better quality used 5 string. A German Warwick Corvette Proline went for £417 on ebay the other day. Ok it was purple but still looked stunning with the flamed maple top. Heres the link...

Just spotted this on ebay in my town. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Phil-Jones-M500-Bass-Amp-with-8T-and-16b-cabs-/161232068544?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item258a2e1fc0 What the.... Could someone explain a bit about it? Why so many small speakers? Looks cool!

^^Nice Here is my AH600SMX. It is used in bi-amp mode into the 1510(Ignore the eq, it is rarely used).

I've never been keen on P basses, hated them in fact. Always prefered jazz. But I do like the one Scott has! It sounds awesome too. Has changed my mind on them slightly!

Something like scott devines? http://youtu.be/eoVfamlcbYo

Ok this might be someone everyone has heard of but I did a search and couldn't find anything. If however you haven't heard this woman play you are in for a treat. My jaw just dropped watching her videos on youtube. Her timing and execution is flawless. http://youtu.be/DoJh129HsfM http://youtu.be/PnqqGVWVy3g [media]http://youtu.be/KZLryMHoIXw[/media]

The narrowest part of the string is about 5.7cm inc the ball. And about 5.2cm without. Including the step it is about 6.4cm in total. Give or take a mm or two.

Warwick strings have a tapered B on the yellow, black and emp series. [IMG]http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz77/showroomfinish/Mobile%20Uploads/20140202_203101.jpg[/IMG]

Wow I thought I done well just finding a bass for £35. You found a proper bargain! Nice!

It does sound good. Especially through the trace. I asked warwick a few questions I had and one was the new German basses. They cost at least 2000€ more than the pro series. "Every instrument is now one-of-a-kind and made from individually-selected woods and equipped with high-tech features such as Invisible Fretwork Technology and our ultra-thin UV lacquer that dries in seconds. Also, as of 2013, our Made in Germany instruments now come with CNC-routed brass bridges, and Wenge necks." Is that really worth an extra 2,000€? Not that I could ever afford one. Is there anything else different?
