    [quote name='bassatnight' post='1345775' date='Aug 19 2011, 07:48 PM']Currently on the bay, basschatters get priority. Might consider an olp or classic vibe P plus cash?[/quote] Ooooooo, im happy to throw in my CV P as part of the deal. How much would you be thinking of knocking off? My CVP has a Gotoah 201 bridge and a Fender 62RI pup in it at the moment.

    Actually ive gone off them already. I just dont like that long top horn. No reflection of the bass itself though.
  4. dave_bass5
    Not received mine yet but our post is erratic anyway, im sure ill get them before Christmas.
  5. dave_bass5
    No, you buy it before I do ;-). I'm not keen on the Hanson pup but I'm sure combined with the pre amp It will sound fantasic. If I wasn't moving I would have this now.

    Thanks Michael (and Steve of course) . Ive just kicked my son off Roblox to have a look. Looks like a Hanson pup as well (red and black wires so not a Fralin). Quite interested again now but with us moving flat on Tuesday i cant really get my head around buying anything for a few days.

    I'm stuck on my iPhone this morning so can't see the pics clearly. Sounds interesting though.

    Hmmm, I'm getting Yamaha GAS now. Other than a Blazer as my first bass I've never really looked at a Yamaha. Not wishing to hijack the thread but keeping the cost to around £300-400 what Yamaha has a jazz sized neck? Cheers.

    Other than the above mentioned headstock bashing during gigs I would question why most people would need to tune up during a gig. No offence meant, it's just that I've never gone out of tune whilst playing live. I know some de tune for certain songs so I suppose a tuner is needed. Maybe I don't play had enough.

    Ive been struggling to buy a new bass recently but my heart just isnt in it. I guess this must mean I'm content with my gear, for now.
  11. dave_bass5
    Thank god for that. Now I can go and but some flooring for the new flat, apparently :-(

    [quote name='Linus27' post='1344505' date='Aug 18 2011, 03:26 PM']Thanks Simon. I have now bought a Gramma pad [/quote] Welcome to the club. I had a few strips of platfoam before getting mine but threw them away.

    I thought the OP was already sorted

    [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.
  16. dave_bass5
    Does anyone know what the string spacing is on this bass?
  17. dave_bass5
    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='Jerry_B' post='1344063' date='Aug 18 2011, 09:37 AM']+1 for the Yammy. Well-made and with a great sound - should keep him happy for years![/quote] Until he finds Bass Chat ;-)

    [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.
  21. 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 :-)
  23. 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 :-(
  24. 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.
  25. dave_bass5
    Did you ever hear back from Chandlers about the pre amp?
