I worked as security with many bands from late 70's until recently, had the unfortunate pleasure of working with adam ant or stuart goddard, it must have been around 81/82 he did a show at the Glasgow Apollo what a con man, he played videos on a big screen the first half of the concert???? then he came on stage with his live??? band, he had session guitarists hidden behind the pa bins on both sides of the stage, the guitarist was supposed to be marco pirroni , his guitar was not even plugged in!!!! biggest con man out and last nights drivel proved it . phew had to get that off my chest lol.

no bass model does it all, thank god.

Lets be honest here most of the bass players mentioned here are very rich guys and probably dont give a hoot what anyone think's about their bass playing, and really who is anyone to judge another bass player's talent, as long as they fit in with and play what the band require for their particular style of music., yes there are outstanding bass players in the world and thats great , i dont see the point in slagging another player off, and how do you measure a great bass player?? financial status? sponsorship? oustanding technical ability? heck i say just play the bass and enjoy for what ever reason. have a good 2013 guys.

i have the bass now , and it really has a great bottom end coming from it , well made, also heavier than i thought it would be , put some decent strings on and did a set up, it sounds great lots of tone in there, i think it is the geddy lee neck they have used, finish is fantastic nice fleck through the paint, fit and finish 10/10 only thing that annoyed me was the bloody plastic they use to protect the pick guard it is a pain to get off!!! neck just feels fantastic lots of tone looks good , whats not to like?? cheers for the comments guys. George

thanks very much, very useful information there, think i will go for it always wanted a precision but the necks were to chunky for me , thats the main reason i am going for it. cheers guys

was more looking for comments on playability and sound if anyone has played one. cheers

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi Guys, just wondering if any of you have this bass and your thoughts on it please? about to purchase a brand new one like the idea of a precision bass with a jazz neck and decent electronics thrown in. All comments welcome please. anything you dont like about the bass?? cheers[/font][/color]

Iain purchased a Rickenbacker 4003 from me and payment was instant, we have had great conversations about bass too , great guy, knows his stuff too, would recommend dealing with iain easily. George

got mine, it is really well made, i was surprised at the weight , its a tank. some good sounds to be had quite easily. grab one.
