I just ordered one. I must admit ive been giving this thread a miss, thinking it was to do with networks.

I can see the point of it for someone using a laptop maybe. It seems a bit more convenient than to have to hook up a USB audio interface and plug in to that.

Met Stuee last night as he came and picked my SA450 up. Nice bloke, easy to talk to and paid cash, you couldn't ask for more,. Cheers mate.

Dan. I just wanted to point out the paid for version of the GK App has a proper EQ section. This makes quite a difference to the tone. Saying that, I'm starting to prefer the more beefy tone of Amplitube these days.

Ive always wondered this as well. We keep hearing how we should use decent speaker and instrument leads, yet the leads in the cabs that i have seen do seem pretty cheap. I dont think its silly to ask though, and seeing as Alex has given as good an answer as could be expected we all now know its not a problem. The way i read the OP was it was just a question based on lack of knowledge, not one of these Snake oil questions.

I would at least open it up and see if it is just a loose wire. I know it will be fixed under warranty but IMO if it involves a couple of trips in the car, maybe a few days for them to fix it i would attempt it myself. Off topic but I posted in another thread how i took my CV jazz to a gig by mistake as it was in the wrong gig bag. Both pups were un wired and there were not strap buttons on it. I ended up using Gaffa tape to re wire the bass lol. It worked fine though.

Just my 2p like. [/quote] Im one of those that does feel it matters, although im not too hung up on it. The Squier CV High mass bridges are 20mm and i find that to be a bit uncomfortable. I changed the bridge on the P to a 19mm spaced Gotoh 201 and i do notice the difference between this and my Jazz which still has the stock bridge on it. Unplayable? no, uncomfortable? yes, especially with a P neck that i also find a bit uncomfortable.

Just seen your vid with the new singer (i assume). I know the vocals are a bit low but i actually preferred the old singers voice. Both good but i thought the old singer had more emotion in her voice.

Im pretty sure that at least a year ago it was showing the neck as 1.5" as i was contemplating getting one. Here's my thread although it ended up more to do with the bass in general rather than the nut/neck width. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=86875"]Nut width[/url]

Ive read quite a few conflicting reviews about the neck on this bass. Some owners swear blind its not a jazz neck, while others, and the specs, say it is.

[quote name='AlexKay1980' post='1257858' date='Jun 5 2011, 09:50 PM']This is how they look like on my bass [/quote] I think Orange on a Black bass looks fantastic.

What I meant was it offers almost everything I look for in a bass, good slim neck and I assume a good PJ tone. That would be the most important features and enough to keep me happy. It's the other things it offers that I'm not too keen on but could live with.

There are already a few threads on this and it seems like quite a few people are using it. I got one and was very underwhelmed and sent it back. I have since got another one as the IKM app has improved quite a bit, and there is also the free (or paid version) from Gallien Krueger which, unlike the IKM app, doesnt require you to import tracks in to it first.

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1255336' date='Jun 3 2011, 12:31 PM']Have to admit I was kindof the same, Dave, though have also started to look at them in a different light. Was in fact very tempted by the one Wayne has just bought, though as I`ve just agreed a deal on a Squier CV Jazz, I`m not too upset that Wayne got there first [/quote] Well a CV Jazz is not second prize IMO. I love basses with jazz sized necks, prefer a P but having a PJ is even better, love blocked necks etc so i cant understand why i dont have a Jag yet. Maybe by the end of the year but no GAS for one yet.

Ive always hated the look of the Jag. My singer had the guitar version for a while last year and i thought it looked like a toy. For some strange reason though im now quite intrigued by them now. other than all those switches and dials, plus the funny shape, they do seem like they would be my ideal bass. Be sure to let us know how it goes Wayne.

After owning a SA450 for a few years (and a LMII during that time) and thinking these were small and light, im amazed at some of the micro heads these days. They make the LMII look like a beast lol.

I struggle at every gig with my main band, due to the drummer being all over the place and not having any idea about music and what's required. I also feel like my playing is getting worse sometimes as there really isnt much to play off. The other band i (used) to play in is completely the opposite, although both bands are very similar, and i get a good work out with the drummer and its very enjoyable. I should do something about it but my band does have its moments so im not going to walk away from it. Its my choice so if i stay i cant complain (much)

I sold mine as soon as i took them off, sorry.
