How about they attempt to make one decent guitar instead of 6 pieces of fire wood?

Same goes for the other thread. Easier to just give some more info here than just say you will if people email you.

Toasted have you got photos yet?!

Surely the most basic P bass style instrument would do the trick, as long as it's playable. Doesn't need a 3 band EQ or some fancy materials.

Nosing through all the ads in the practice studios my band uses always shows up a lot of bass player requests. Also when I was at college we were quite a minority on my course!

I was very happy, in the last few days though I've been finding it hard to get the sound I want from my jazz or stingray, although this might be down to the amps at the practice studio we are at at the moment.

Don't see the point in spending that much on a Vintage bass. Go 2nd hand as suggested, perhaps an Ibanez? A lot of bang for your buck. Or one of those new Squiers.

Unless he's just worded it badly & means he's bought another bass.

Well duhhh the bass is worth the model number, that's what it's there for. Got some Fender 8250 strings if anyone wants them? £8250

It basically means that they are processing your fees and a letter will be winging its way to you soon, telling you what you owe![/quote] +1 Bloody annoying if you ask me! I was following a bass on the tracker & waited a couple of days after reading that thinking that they had come & tried to deliver & would just try again the next day. When I phoned them up they told me they had sent a letter & were waiting for me to get back to them, the guy told me the charge amount & I paid over the phone. The bass came the next day so they are fast but only with pushes from you. I can't recall actually ever getting the letter either. Big Cat are you sure it's gone back? As mentioned above if you are going by the tracker or something then best to phone them?
