[quote name='yorick' post='1137128' date='Feb 22 2011, 02:26 PM']Buy one of the old DB series heads. Best bass amps they ever made. Nige[/quote] +1.

I do,but more so with amps than basses.

I have used them in all my gigging basses .They are high output,punchy and quiet.My gigging basses are a Jazz 5 and a Precision.

I've got a feeling that fender,are making a bigger profit than whoever built the Sue Ryder basses.IIRC i read that it cost roughly £25 to build a Mexican Strat when they first came out.

Keep the Precision,buy Rotosounds,leave them on for a week,voila,dull lifeless flats type sound.

Amp.

Mint.

No idea,but i like it.

The more popular the songs are,the wider the audience ?

I thought I was the only person with sufficiently little taste to buy a b/w one! [/quote] I traded mine years ago,and would really like another.

Is that a Marlin ? Heres my old Hohner.

I have 6.And 2 amps.I was in a band up untill Xmas though.

The sound ? this is all my opinion.What is the sound that we are after ? can we remember the first "the sound" that we had ?,are we trying to re-create this ? or are we trying to re-create someone elses sound ? when i switched from guitar to bass i carried on using my guitar amp and cab,Selmer Treble & Bass 100w & 4x12 cab with my 68 Precision.I thought it was a great sound.I have been swayed by other basses and certainly other amps/cabs,combos,but still get the same sound out of my current set up,especially since Howard built me a bass to replicate that 68 P bass.I have tried to use a more hi - fi sound with both basses and amps but have never been truly happy with the result.I have spent an absolute fortune in the last 20 years or so on gear to get "that sound",but realised that, 1,an amp/speakers make just as much,if not more difference to the sound than a bass does. 2,technique plays a much bigger role in shaping the sound. 3,the cost of equipment does not always justify the end result. 4,If you are looking to replicate someone elses sound,pay more attention to their technique than their gear.

Powder coating will not work on the machine heads,it will make them unuseable,they will need to be black chromed.

More info on the Perspex P please.

I will find out next time i see him.I dep for him in a Country band that he plays in.

Also check the strap buttons are tight.

Paint it blue and cut the headstock ala Ryder then it will be cool.

If he is doing it for the money,why not ? We're talking about him,he's not talking about any of us.

Cool,im a big fan.Off to find decent pics of his Jazz.

I really rate them.

Same here.
