  1. i'm getting to the end of my clearout now, but this is still here. It's an excellent condition Squier FSR esquire in seafoam green. These stripped down guitars were released in limited numbers and are really wonderful. This one has had limited lpay which means it's all in perfect condition. There is some discolouration on the scratchplate screws (I had considered replacing these, but thought better of it). The action is low, it sounds amazing and looks great. I had sole this on eBay but the buyer was rude, which upset me a little bit so I cancelled his bid and will sell here. I can provide a POD acoustic guitar case to ship this in (free, naturally).
  2. Here’s another one: https://reverb.com/uk/item/18067176-fender-jazz-bass-1962-factory-black-finish
  3. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  4. Nah, I grew up listening to fusion stuff and am not a snob at all. It's all personal preference, it's just I've never really enjoyed a bass solo (I can admire them though!).
  5. I'm in an ECM quartet (Gary Burton, Pat Metheny, etc), I also play in a funk band that (sort of) has some jazz funk bits in it.
  6. I don’t buy this. I love jazz and play it live and at home and I can’t stand the virtuoso stuff (or Joe Dart). Part of it is the register of the instrument and the challenge in shifting larger intervals. Piano, guitar and brass are just so much more suited to it. Bass solos to me just sound so forced, even when they’re technically beautiful. This is less of an issue in DB where the timbre of the instrument adds character. I also can’t stand Flea. But that’s years of being a bass teacher.
  7. The best intermediate rig I have seen (and use) is a Trace Elliot Elf into a Barefaced 1x10. It sounds absolutely fantastic, is portable, and easy to set up. It’s also reasonably cheap for such quality gear. There are only a few knobs to turn, and they all character the sound, which makes it easy to use. I’m using this rig to do a jazz session later tonight. I’ve used it in a pub jam session for both bass and double bass. On the weekend I saw someone gigging the same rig in a surf rock band.
  8. I think it’s a fair price for what’s basically new. It’s one of those that I should probably stick under the sofa and keep for a rainy day. If it doesn’t sell, I may give it to my cousin who has just got a place at music college.
  9. I think what you were doing is a really important thing. If you check out the Vintage Fender thread you’ll see how the listing of one of my old basses and the reality are very different.
  10. Postage will be about £20 and take me a few hours. These are £130 new so I really would suggest you just buy one from Thomann.
  11. I live two minutes from an award winning ice cream shop and will include some in the sale price.
  12. I’ve got a 1971 D35 and it’s the single loveliest guitar sound I’ve ever heard. I imagine this one is the same minus all the annoying stuff that comes with having a guitar neck with no truss rod.
