[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1391792715' post='2361410'] It can't be 'played in' if it hasn't been played. [/quote] Pretty sure I said "Feel played in" in my second sentence ? Rather than "be played in"

It's the feel that works, doesn't matter if a sander did it rather than skin
-
Played in basses do seem to feel nicer and more comfortable. I don't see that its important if that feel got there quickly or slowly

If you have breeze block "dot and dab" walls you can dispense with the rawl plugs and just use long screws I'm a landlord myself and I wouldn't mind. I'd appreciate the chance to inspect it myself after though, even if I didn't take the offer.

Squier Classic Vibe 60's jazz Olympic White sold
Geek99 replied to iconic's topic in Basses For Sale
I do like those blocks -
Tbh I don't think I will ever be capable enough at bass to justify spending more than £500 on an instrument, so lusting after this would be a waste of time

authentically trousers down.. I note we have the same birthday Mr G I've said it before, Gary, its a beautiful bass, one I'd love to own (but relicced obviously) so a free bump -
I think bass in Irish music is fine. I've seen plenty of trad bands incorporate one seamlessly. All the ones I saw were Precisions, as I recall but I dont think its compulsory as long as its a fairly mellow kind of tone.

I'd just list it on Gumtree if it were me. Dont think its a problem to [i]mention [/i]Rickenbackers in passing, just dont try and sell one.(Mods correct me if I'm wrong)

You can get a used legend 5 for a lot less than your budget

True My bass doc built 70s p replica is just amazing. I don't tinker with it or change it, or want to As discussed with mr grangur I would like to find a perfect jazz bass but I haven't found it yet. I suspect I will have to make it

I recently bought a bass with gaps under the e that you could park a bus in. Seller liked it like that and it took about five turns to get it back to action that was even remotely sensible. Jameson didn't do too badly with high action though, did he ?

Got this as part of a trade but don't need it. Think its late 60s judging by the look and materials. Has a fluffy orange lining. Can email more pics if needed Badge says "for fender" with the correct logo so assuming it was made under licence. Some cosmetic damage as you might expect given its age, latches work but I don't have a key http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/geek99/library/case Collection preferred but heading down to Folkestone soon so could drop off if convenient

Small hands - Squier Vintage Modified Jazz v Precision
Geek99 replied to Absolute Beginner's topic in Bass Guitars
Consider the VM precision. - there is a natural version. I don't have huge hands and I was fine with those (mine was white) -
I had the HS4, which is roughly the same as the Legend series. Nice pickups, good electronics, very slim neck indeed and it never went out of tune. Bridge easy to restring as the strings are caught by the bridge, not threaded through like a Fender. Good range of tones. It was very nice indeed and good value, but wasnt quite right for me.Too traditional in my taste perhaps.

[quote name='Fionn' timestamp='1390691406' post='2348435'] Keep your favourite fretted bass, sell the Cort and some other fretted gear, then treat yourself to an amazing fretless maybe? ... and you know that you want an amazing fretless .... [/quote] Isnt he saying that his fretless is a Cort and he loves it already ? I cant see why he would sell it, based on what he says.
