guys please give me some of your live performance experience of the ibanez basses please? I have had a few and had real issues live with them BTB did not cut at all - real thin and weedy sound Blazer was fantastic in all respects - wish I'd never let it go! atk - loved the body and neck but again no cut nor presence rg/sr/fieldy - didn't work in any respect for me no amp cab issues and I dont use any effects...

really depends on your budget! if you can save for a while - do this and buy the best bass you can and really want as it will save you money in the long run otherwise you will be losing money on an entry/mid level bass either selling or trading in to get the next level up! but once you have a budget in mind I'm sure the good users on here will advise you appropriately. andy

hey old horse... my MIA pbass is still up for sale if you are interested? link here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5265"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5265[/url] andy

second the yamaha trb5 - pick them up for around £500 - make sure that it is a mkI though! check my avatar pic. I would also recomend you try some of the schecter 5's particularly the custom/studio/elite ranges well made instruments using emg pups and elixer strings....when you see the quality of build and price range, it will make you wonder how they can do this!?

right colour for me! just not a fender man........

selling my pbass for £500 with fitted hard case if you are interested? check link: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5265"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5265[/url] andy

yep fitted the fender pbass bridge on - the tbass is string through as stock, so no hard work required! that bass is just gorgeous lfalex! also like your thinking! thought about the split p pups as it was a good/cost effective way of building the 'wife' as the body and neck on the tbass are really good!

as promised! laflex; a precision bass bridge (proper one that is) works better in my view than a badass....

I'll get picks up soon... model one came from here: [url="http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/bass_pickupsdimarzio.htm"]http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/bass_pickupsdimarzio.htm[/url] and was $96 delivered £48 in our money! no routing needed at all! andy

afternoon folks... just fitted a dimarzio model one pup to my squier vm tbass - what a feckin difference, massive, huge, large, bonkers! off its head! aggressive yet sweet, unbelievable!! gone is the muddieness and colouration - enter the clarity, power, attack, bottom end articulation, balls and most of all welcome to the tbass............................................................................................... ...................................

yep be well aware! bankers draft only, no paypal or protection! this one should be cut loose.............

only one problem I can spot! if I win the auction what one would I receive?

STILL NO REPLY!

I have two of those very decals at home! looks like an old 'kay' bass.....

I'll do the same - even though its 100 miles away, would make a nice day out!

yep skint too! but the good lady has dropped the price to £650 which is more realistic - I've offered her a swap for my red pbass.

[quote name='99ster' post='59106' date='Sep 12 2007, 09:30 AM']Do nothing...especially not buy it for £2K. In my humble opinion I think that bass is barely worth half what he's asking for it - if that. Why?[list] [*]He's managed to break the truss rod (WTF?) - so the neck/fretboard has had to be repaired [*]The pickups /wiring aren't original [*]Sounds like there's been some re-routing to fit the EMGs & wiring [*]The bridge is replaced & then it's not even a real Badass bridge! [*]Someone's carved their name into the back of the headstock & this guy thinks 'great idea - I'll carve mine on top!' [*]Who knows what else has been messed with? [*]It looks in pretty poor condition & has been abused & chopped about rather than cared for & cherished [*]No ashtrays, or case [/list][/quote] its a schaller bridge thats on it...imo better than a badass! however on closer inspection the neckplate? burst at the screws! mustn't have been able to get a screw out and used pliers to bend it!!!! tosser....

think someone is dreaming! check this link: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280154240132&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=250118708337&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...type=osi_widget[/url]

never seen one rod nor knew trace did a v4 210 combo...only the 115 v4 combo I'm familiar with....anyhooos it is a v4 head and will be fantastic! adding a 115 cab will be killer! the V series are just monsters! take it from an experienced user! I currently have a loan of a V6, it is not so different from my v4, just marginally louder but does the 2ohm thing that I require to drive my 2 x ampeg b410hlf cabs and it is amazing as well...so is the v8....ffs just get it if you can afford it! or tell me where it is so i can get it!

different situation withs valves add more cabs bigger sounds! seriously my 220 watt V4 is never cranked above 40% and it cuts through anything!

ahh, I see! if you are thinking about it - I would and you wont regret it! even if its not for you reselling will get your money back.

maybe a little closer for you! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARITA-COME-NUOVO-Trace-Elliot-Twin-Valve-VALVOLARE_W0QQitemZ190156172939QQihZ009QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARITA-COME-NUOVO-Tr...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

100% agree shaggy! funnily enough my active trb5 does not like my trace V4 valve head! play passive all the time now........I wonder why?
