I don't know if this helps [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180445571474&ih=008&category=4713&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1#ht_500wt_1182"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...1#ht_500wt_1182[/url] Looks like a really nice bass, I may be interested.

[quote name='Santinian' post='695911' date='Dec 29 2009, 08:48 PM']Okay, that's awesome. Thanks! PMing the sellers now.[/quote] Good luck buddy, remember where we are when you need help with anything.

[quote name='Santinian' post='695904' date='Dec 29 2009, 08:38 PM']Thanks for that. But compare that to something like this, which is slightly less expensive: [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Squier-by-Fender-Affinity-J-Bass-and-Rumble-15-Amp-Metallic-Blue/C3Z"]http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/...tallic-Blue/C3Z[/url][/quote] The quality of that is far less than the quality of the basses/amp I have linked you to. If you want the cheapest thing you can find then get a pack, the Squier Affinity's aren't bad I used to have one but if you want the best within your budget go for something like I have suggested.

[quote name='J3ster' post='695892' date='Dec 29 2009, 08:25 PM']Was just about to post that one myself... Well worth the Ton...[/quote] I was going to buy it myself but I already have a natural Jazz with 84's in.

And if you want a Jazz bass [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71558"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71558[/url]

You could do a lot worse than these 2 together. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70243"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70243[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71550"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71550[/url]

[quote name='Santinian' post='695870' date='Dec 29 2009, 07:51 PM']Okay, I just learned there's such a thing as an Electro Acoustic Bass. What on earth is that and should I be getting an acoustic instead of an electric one?[/quote] In short no. In my experience you would be better off with a broom than one of those starter packs on eBay

[quote name='Santinian' post='695778' date='Dec 29 2009, 06:02 PM']Thanks for the answers! I hope you don't mind me asking some follow-up questions. About the 20W amp and the 50W amp, what's the difference in the sound if there is any? In terms of budget let's say the max is 250£ and as for style, more alternative rock. Jazz is not my style. Should I avoid the jazz bass then? Are there any online stores that you recommend?[/quote] The power of an amp (the wattage) won't have a bearing on how it sounds the Wattage is generally a rough way of working out how loud it is (not an exact science). The Jazz bass is very versatile, I have a few of them myself and I play in Punk and Ska bands. I would take a loook in the for sale section here you should be able to pick up a nice second hand Squier Jazz and a Peavey amp for that money.

[quote name='Santinian' post='695758' date='Dec 29 2009, 05:38 PM']Hi all, Before I go any further I have to warn you guys that you will be flooded with noobie ignorant questions, so I ask for your patience. I've never held a bass in my life but I'm looking into buying my first one. I went to the nearest mustic store and they told me their Fender bass+amps and other requirements cost 250£. I did a search on Argos and found ones that are slightly less expensive, also by Fender. But I found myself asking a lot of questions like; What is the difference between a jazz bass and a, well, regular bass? What really is the difference between a 20W amp and a 50Watt stage amp, and which one should I go for? What on earth is a "strat" guitar? And wth is a digital guitar tuner? As a beginner, what should I buy? Your answers will be really helpful and much appreciated. Thank you![/quote] *DEEP BREATH* A Jazz is a very versatile type of bass, 2 pick ups, off set body and a slim neck. All basses are different, there is no such thing as a regular bass. The difference between a 20W amp and a 50W amp is about 30W A Strat is shot for Stratocaster which is a 6 string guitar (not a bass) A digital tuner is a small device you plug your bass into and helps you tune. Depends on budget and style of music?

[quote name='agoulding' post='695224' date='Dec 28 2009, 10:27 PM']Aaah it is chambered. I must have missed that. Looks like sh*te tbf[/quote] The seller has said the same himself.

DAMN!!!!! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DANELECTRO-LONGHORN-BASS_W0QQitemZ270505954366QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3efb694c3e#ht_720wt_1165"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DANELECTRO-LONGHORN-...e#ht_720wt_1165[/url]

Should have listed it as 'reliced' could have made a mint.

[quote name='jezzaboy' post='695149' date='Dec 28 2009, 08:45 PM']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[/quote] What did you get?

I have a VMJ I'm currently turning into a 75RI clone, it's f***ing awesome. Wizard 84's

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='693907' date='Dec 26 2009, 06:54 PM']I assume mrcrow is still enjoying it!?![/quote] It's a good show.

Bit of a long shot bit is it 90's short lived American TV show Early Edition.

Excellent.

JLP's one was full of win.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='692906' date='Dec 24 2009, 12:43 PM']'tis not me selling it. I'm just a nosy so-and-so.[/quote] They are awful, I tried one in a music shop and I have never seen QC like it, 2 of the neck bolts wern't all the way in and the bridge was at an angle, £99 is a bit optimistic.
