Aren't you glad you didn't buy a Squier By Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Three Tone Sunburst ...
[/quote]

...Fretless with rosewood fingerboard with aftermarket Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders and Ki0gon loom plus Dunlop Straplocks?

C'mon, Harry needs funds for a Rickenbacker...

Bump...

Bumpety bump.

Make an offer, I can only say no.
Trades on Squier J basses will be heavily considered...

I like it. what's the weight like mate? And shipping?

Welcome! Just be sure to nothe go to PMT after a day on here. The impulse purchases will be often and expensive. trust me.

Truly a legend. RIP Chuck.

oops

Sunday and will now consider shipping with any interest type bump

Hot, bright and loud. All the things it should be.

Why won't you ship it Harry?

Because reasons.

I may withdraw this depending on some news.

back to the top...

Come on, it's lovely and lonely

Ah it's the day before the intra-city civil war we are OK

yeah so long as it isn't huge I'd look after it in North Birmingham B36

if only you'd have said a few weeks ago before bought one once deciding cash Converters were unreliable and no one was selling one...

Thanks for the interest guys. Back to the top...

Might be worth mentioning I wouldn't be too disheartened if this didn't sell, but it should be played more than it is with me

I for one quite liked the Ashula I played at the Ibanez event. very nice indeed but definitely not a "thumb around the neck" bass. Think of it as two different instruments and it really isn't difficult to play either.

I have a HB Jazz bass that at first was quite heavy but Andy sorted it out. There's a thread under build diaries about it.

I agree. First upgrade would be the electronics. I put a Ki0gon loom in mine and never looked back.

Rest assured. They sound incredible once you plug em in and weigh next to nothing. the only downside is that Ibanez "sandpaper unglossed" neck. Nice enough though if it's your jam.

Up for sale is my fairly new squier CV 50s P Bass in white Blonde. Had it since January and done a NBD with pics on it here:

Lovely looking and playing bass, does the whole 50s P Bass thud thing very well. Unfortunately though, it isn't getting used really and I can't see me gigging it as it doesn't have the growly super hot sound I'd like. Still a great bass though for any classic rock/soul/motown bassist. If it wasn't for the lack of use its getting here (and it deserves playing), and minor car troubles, I wouldn't be selling. Plus, the strict one in one out policy has been broken and I need a wall hook.

Has since been fitted with Dunlop Straplocks and La Bella low tension flats, which make it sound incredible. Bathroom scales say it's around 9lbs.

Cash on collection from Castle Bromwich (about 2 minutes from J5 of M6). Will look into shipping with serious interest.

May trade for other Squier CV basses...

All the time.

IMO sounding and playing better is the only reason for buying the next one.

Is it a psychological thing? Not if you do it properly and assess the new gear with your head and not your heart. If you do it like that then you probably are playing better.

It was strange. I have never been able to slap, but that rick (while I know ricks aren't the choice of slap basses) had me thinking that slap really isn't an issue.

So basically I went into the local music shop this morning for the usual expendables (strings, picks, cables, etc) and while I was there picked up a Rickenbacker 4003 in Walnut with maple through neck and some push-pull vintage voicing switch. I don't know if it was just in my head, but this bass made me feel as though I was a better bassist. It was so easy to play and sounded so brilliant I am now sad I don't have the £2000 to have left with it. Usually, I feel like a blagger, with that I felt just like Bruce Foxton, as if the 25 people in the shop were actually 250,000 people in a big arena.

So my question is does anyone have an experience of playing a bass that made them play bass better? Or is it just a psychological thing?

My biggest gripe with PMT is the parking situation so if it's any better at GuitarGuitar then I may pop in

Personally, I prefer the top ones, but that's just me

I enjoy doing Slades Merry Christmas, we only do it about 3 times a year which is probably why I don't get fed up with it, lovely walking bass line, I also enjoy the intro to Swords of a thousand Men, because it's a bass intro and I don't play a shuffle beat any other time

Do like that but it'd stick out like a sore thumb in our set

Picked up this Jazz yesterday!

Little bit rough round the edges but I don't mind that. Plays really well and so much easier than the five string.

Apparently its an MiM neck with a squier body. This thing rings like a bell, makes a lovely sound.

Nice bit of kit there 🖒
