  1. I really miss the Fender Bassman head and 2x15 cab that i had. What make is the resonator ? i could do with something like that.
  2. Check out the JHS website for details of the models.I do'nt think they have changed much. P basses are the "Icon"in a relic/vintage finish,and the V4 in standard finishes.All are fitted with Wilkinson hardware as standard.
  3. Is it like this ? this is a Gibson V2.Or the second pic ? [url="http://forum.ibanez.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=74138"]http://forum.ibanez.com/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=74138[/url]
  4. I do'nt think that i'll ever part with mine either,i bought it used about 7 years ago. TBH,i have thought about moving it on a few times,but never seem to go through with it.There's just something that i really like about it,but i do'nt know what it is,and it's never been my main gigging bass.I have thought about putting good passive pickups in,as im not really keen on active circuits.
  5. Mine runs almost the full length of my Jazz,i think some people call them B strings.
  6. The only bass i had with no taper was an old Egmond,terrible. What kind of Country do you play ?
  7. I know that this is rescuing an old thread from the depths,but i was searching for info on one,as i have a V950.What do you guys call heavy ? mine is just over 8lb's in weight,plays beautifully,has loads of tones in it,and for what i paid for it,about £125 IIRC,can not be faulted.I checked out the Warwick Thumb BO's on youtube,and i can't hear a vast difference. Does anyone still have one of these,and use it ?
  8. If you really want it,it will happen.
  9. My EB3 had the headstock snapped off,and repaired long before i bought it,i had it about 3 years without a problem.I suppose it all depends on how well the repair was done,not just how well the repair was covered up.Knowing the history of the guitar helps.A correctly done repair should be stronger than before it was broken.
  10. Slightly O.T,but still relevant,i feel.Where have all the horribly modded guitars and basses gone ? F.I,all the 70's strats with locking trems.humbuckers.Also if anyone is after a "vintage" re-finned bass,be VERY wary,some of the rebuilt horrors on this site are a good indication.

  11. Could it be the way your ads are worded ? first impressions.

  13. LOVE Jazz basses Precisions Gibson basses Danelectros Marshall amps Selmer amps Fender amps Sound City 120's Sunburst Red Rotosounds Schaller strap locks Genuine wear & tear Harley Davidsons HATE Boutique Fender copies Basses that look like rotting wood Too many switches and knobs on basses Amps with loads of knobs for middle control Multi FX units Active circuit overkill Fusion style basses Rickenf*kinbackers Harley Davidson.
  14. No frills players seem to get derided a lot.I honestly have no opinion on the guy,i've never cared for U2,but he ca'nt be that bad a player.Any company would be stupid to endorse,or build a signature model for someone that was incompetent,no matter how famous they are.How long have they been going ?Still the original line up i take it ?
  15. [quote name='Linus27' post='708055' date='Jan 10 2010, 07:41 PM']Damn, I've been rumbled. Ok, I'll send the boys round with a fiver and a signed copy of our first 7 albums. The ones after that are not worth having [/quote] No,it's ok,i'll send you the fiver if you keep the U2 albums. (just worried it might be Bonio and Hedge)
  16. Bugger,i have an L,totally mojoed,with mwaaah sound found in an uncles loft,been there since new in the 70's.Oh well,looks like poor old uncle Jaco's L will be going in the skip.
