    [quote name='TomTom' post='1344293' date='Aug 18 2011, 12:59 PM']Hi guys, all PM's replied to. Just to clarify, im only selling this to make way for a Jazz 5 that i have my eye on, so not really up for trades. Dave, the string spacing appears to be 17mm at the [b]bride[/b], from what my eyes and a cheapo ruler can tell in 30 seconds. You know you want it [/quote] This must be great for weddings then ;-) Cheers. I like narrow string spacing so thats good. Having checked the specs it seems close to my old 55-01 Lakland, maybe a bit narrower (even better). I'll give you a definite decision by the end of the day, assuming its still here. I just need to decide if i want to go back to 5 string.

    [quote name='MatthewKeys' post='1344249' date='Aug 18 2011, 12:25 PM']PM'd[/quote] Thank god, i really want this bass but dont need it. And we all know how that works. Very, very tempted so please let me know if this goes.

    Does anyone know what the string spacing is on this bass?

    Ive got the Polytune app on my iPhone. It seems pretty accurate for what it is but i still dont get the need to have all strings showing at once. Ive been using a Peterson Stroboclip for most of this year. Thats not cheap either (£65) but its more accurate, and tracks a low B etc fine. Ive now switched to using a Snark clip on tuner. That cost me £10 but its just as accurate as any tuner ive owned, at gigs anyway. I tend to use the Peterson more for setups/intonation as its more precise but im sure it doesnt really need to be that good. I really dont understand why people pay so much money for something that gets so little use. Is it the lights (yes Gareth, im looking at you lol)

    [quote name='Smash' post='1344075' date='Aug 18 2011, 09:45 AM']noticed it on this thread, I quite like it but think I prefer adding a few extra pounds to go Jap version. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=140617&hl=squier+mustang"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=squier+mustang[/url][/quote] Damn, that will teach me to only glance at the current page. Maybe the mods can merge them.

    I must admit i am warming to the Jag look, but more the Fender version rather than the Squier.
  9. dave_bass5
    I just noticed this ugly looking thing on the Squier website. Im sure it will appeal to some but i think its even more ugly than the Jag. Nice looking neck though. [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0328402506"]VM Mustang[/url]

    [quote name='karlfer' post='1343825' date='Aug 17 2011, 11:14 PM']If my Orange goes, the ending may have a twist, mwhaha . Karl.[/quote] I hope so, i really dont "need" this bass :-)
  11. dave_bass5
    Never played one but ive read many times the neck is very thin. In my book thats a good thing bu tive read a few people didnt like the bass because of this. I believe they are made in (or crafted in) Japan so should be pretty good quality. Damn, now im going to go looking at them :-(
  12. dave_bass5
    Nice one Im still interested, although as ive said i would prefer a passive one with a Fralin in it. If the pre amp is a decent one them im happy to give it a go. I think i said it in the other thread but if the pup has cloth covered wires i think it should be a Fralin.
  13. dave_bass5
    Did you ever hear back from Chandlers about the pre amp?

    [quote name='Delberthot' post='1341466' date='Aug 16 2011, 08:20 AM']The best part of the JVs for me were the necks with the rolled fingerboards[/quote] Thats what i was told by Chris at the Bass Centrer when i took mine in. In fact he said it didnt really matter what was attached to the neck, its the neck that commands the price. I replaced all the hardware with gold Schaller stuff, mirror pick guard (well it was the 80's) EMG select and a few other bits i cant remember. I still got over £300 for it.

    [quote name='Flex' post='1341082' date='Aug 15 2011, 08:05 PM']Dave if I do sell you can have 1st refusal but really looking for a trade, will see what happens. She play great too btw Cheers Pete[/quote] Cheers Pete. I know how lovely these are and yours looks in great condition. Good luck with whatever happens.

    [quote name='Linus27' post='1341066' date='Aug 15 2011, 07:52 PM']I can whip up a mean butterscotch instant whip if thats any good [/quote] Deal

    [quote name='Linus27' post='1341043' date='Aug 15 2011, 07:28 PM']Flex, please sell this to Dave. Basschat has been off its axis for months because Dave does not have a Duck Dunn. As a public service to Basschat, you must sell your Duck Dunn to Dave before the entire universe implodes [/quote] Hmmm, maybe you organise a whip round then ;-)
  18. dave_bass5
    Lovely bass, I've had 3. If you do want to sell can I have first refusal please. Unless you want both my Squier CV's and a bit of cash :-)
  19. dave_bass5
    Sorry to hear you got messed about Steve. Its a lovely bass but just too many knobs for me. Good luck (again).
  20. dave_bass5
    By all accounts a P-Retro is the circuit of choice. I've been meaning to get one for ages.
  21. dave_bass5
    I shuddered when we were asked to learn Rio for a first dance, the night before. Once i got in to it i found it quite easy, although a bit harder to play it at "our" speed.

    [quote name='GT40Graham' post='1337890' date='Aug 12 2011, 04:53 PM']the band that I'm currently in play some songs differently for many reasons i.e. poor memory, the drummer can't do this etc.[/quote] Thats called "doing it in our own style".......apparently

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='1337817' date='Aug 12 2011, 03:56 PM']I figure if I want a 2x10, I can just use the TC RS210, which is actually a really nice cabinet, hence why Im keeping two and selling the RS212. I stupidly thought Id use all three TC cabs together. Never happened. Sod it, NY122 it is. In the long run its cheaper as I dont have to add another cabinet.[/quote] Good man, wise decision. Cant wait till monday to see what changes ;-) OT. I might be ordering my Squier MF next week.
  24. dave_bass5
    The NY122 does seems like a good match for the LMIII. Much better to turn down than to push the cab too hard IME.

    [quote name='Marvin' post='1337793' date='Aug 12 2011, 03:43 PM']Absolutely agree with you. Really gets my goat when other band members say something like "well, it's not that difficult it's just the bass line". Being able to hear for a start would help. And I don't slap either.[/quote] To be honest im the only one in my band that even gets close to playing a song as it should be, and its me that pushes for new songs so im in a different postilion to most of us. Its normally me that says "why not play it like the record" etc. You should hear some of the crap my guitarist comes out with when we first try a new song
