    Hi Folks, It's that time of year again when special things are happening or are about to happen; Andy Murray has finally ended the 77 years of hurt, JoseMourinho is back at Chelski, SAF has finally retired and more important than all that of course is the fact that we've finally set a date for the next Bash! So dust off your brilliant basses, your amazing amps, your cacophonous cabs and all your weird / geeky bass FX, and bring it all down to the.. [b]South East Bass Bash No.7[/b] As ever, we've been so inspired by all the other totally brilliant Basschat Bashes that have been happening around the country that we want to see you all again, make a lot of noise, have a brilliant time and raise a few [b]£££s[/b] for good causes! So, for your delectation and enjoyment, here are the details you need to know: Date: [b]Saturday 21 September 2013[/b] Time: [b]10am - 5pm[/b] Venue: [b]Jubilee High School, Surrey, School Lane, Addlestone, Surrey KT15 1TE[/b] Venue link: [url="http://www.jubileehigh.surrey.sch.uk/"][color=#0f72da]Jubilee High School Website[/color][/url] [url="http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=504208&y=164434&z=0&sv=KT15+1TE&st=2&pc=KT15+1TE&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf"][color=#0f72da]MAP LINK[/color][/url] [b]Format:[/b] 1 x general area to set up your gear, plus 1 x quiet room/workshop area with workshops through the day, plus Jamming room, plus cafeteria, plus Raffle [b]Spaces:[/b] The Quiet Room and the Theatre for Workshops The Jamming Room for jamming with drummers (and other strange non-bass playing people) Main Hall (where you can set up your gear) [b]Cost:[/b] [b]£10[/b] Last year, it cost about £185 for the hire of the venue plus an amount for some public liability insurance cover therefore to cover those basic costs, we need to charge £10 per head entrance fee to one and all! [b]Charities:[/b] [u]We will donate all profits[/u] from the day to a worthy cause or two (details to be confirmed): [b]Refreshments[/b] will be available on the day for a small charge of course which will help increase the profits and keep everyone happy! Last year Hamster & Mrs Hamster did all the work on that and have offered to do so again, so many thanks in advance to them! [b]Workshops[/b] As ever, we are looking for offers from people to run workshops...so any ideas/requests are welcomed. [b]Please Help[/b] What would be really helpful from everyone who's interested in participating on the day is: 1. Donations of raffle prizes 2. Ideas/requests for the workshops 3. Volunteers to help out on the day (if needs be) It's always good to know who's coming and what gear they'll be bringing so to get the ball rolling here's a list of the people we know who are coming: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1. Hamster - 2. Silverfoxnik - BC Rich Eagle, Schecter Diamond P5, Levinson Blade B15, amp & cab tbc 3. . 4 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. [/font][/color] 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. It'd be great to have loads of people there on the day but the bottom line is that, to make this event pay for itself and to be able to donate something to charity, [b]we need a minimum of 30 people[/b]... So, come on folks; sign up!! Thanks and we look forward to seeing you there silverfoxnik / Hamster / obbm / Happy Jack /

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1371398887' post='2113348'] Amazing bass and price. GLWTS Karl. [/quote] +1 Not my kind of bass, but this is a crazy price for a bass of this quality! Have a BUMP on me...

    That's some rig! Good luck with the sale...

    A long overdue B-U-M-P for this great cab!

    [b]Now SOLD[/b] - thanks for all the interest! Hi Folks I recently bought this [b]Squier VMJ 5[/b] from gusgus to use in an acoustic-based music project, but that project isn't happening now, so I'm looking to move it on to pastures new where hopefully it'll get the use it deserves. Here's a link to gusgus's for sale thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/208270-sold/page__p__2087338#entry2087338"]http://basschat.co.u...38#entry2087338[/url] As far as price goes, I'm looking for [b]£180[/b] for the bass (plus p&p) which is a little less than I paid for it, but I'm hanging on to the Snark tuner and Peavey lead that came with it. To put it into context, Sounds Live and GAK currently sell these for [b]£310[/b] new online, so I think it's a fair price for a bass that's in good condition ([url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/squier-vintage-modified-jazz-bass-v-natural/50660"]http://www.gak.co.uk...v-natural/50660[/url] / [url="http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Squier_Vintage_Modified_Jazz_Bass_V_Natural/FEN-032-6760-521?CAWELAID=1830895058&catargetid=1821941091&cadevice=c&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CNiZoMiIobgCFUrJtAodtyIAVw"]http://www.soundsliv...CFUrJtAodtyIAVw[/url]). Aesthetically, the bass is in [b]great condition[/b], though there are a few little dings here and there.. As its says on the tin really, these basses do have that vintage modified look to them - a typical [b]70's vibe[/b] with a natural finish to the body, maple neck with block inlay design and the black pickguard & pick ups etc, etc - very funky looking!! [b]Pictures:[/b] [attachment=138673:20130630_150204.jpg] [attachment=138675:20130630_150347.jpg] [attachment=138676:20130630_150412.jpg] [attachment=138677:20130630_150521.jpg] [attachment=138678:20130630_150603.jpg] I've reached my upload limit here, so f you'd like any other pictures, please send me a PM with your email address.. It's strung with some very nice sounding [b]Labella deep-talkin' flats[/b] - which is why I bought it to be honest - and they really do give a lovely [b]Old Skool Motown [/b]sound; very smooth and deep sounding but still quite bright sounding for flats. Not only that, but these strings cost over [b]£40[/b] new for a 5 string set these days, which further underlines why i think £180 is a very fair price. .... There's some excellent reviews of these basses on You Tube that are worth checking out: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBvohzuq4P0[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjOHIgqbAMY[/media] And here's a written review I found online: [center][size=3][i]"Overall, as I mentioned before, this is a fantastic bass right out of the box! You cannot go wrong with this one. Pick one up and it will quickly become one of your go to basses. Lets see, real block inlays and binding (not painted). Very decent "clover style" machine heads. Very good sounding Duncan designed pickups. Solid maple neck. Overall, this baby is very much on par with basses costing 2 to 3 times its price. The finish is very smooth and surprisingly even. And yes, it sounds like a Jazz bass! You can pretty much dial in any sound you want with the Duncan designed pickups. Good even response. I kid you not, this bass really feels and sounds like a much more expensive bass! Hands down amazing in the value category! As far as im concerned, it absolutely cannot be beat for the price. If you leave it alone (no mods) right out of the box, it definitely holds its own and packs a punch giving other basses a challenge. Swap out the pickups, like I did, for Seymour Duncan BassLines pickups, and you have a heavyweight contender!"[/i][/size] [/center] [center][size=3]([url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/squier-vintage-modified-jazz-bass-v-5-string-electric-bass-guitar"]http://www.musicians...ric-bass-guitar[/url])[/size][/center] As with all the equipment I've sold here on Basschat, I'm very happy to ship it at buyers expense and will package it up very securely indeed, though I always recommend that you take out insurance when shipping, even though it costs a bit more..! Equally, I'm very happy if people want to come and try the bass out in person here in (very sunny) Littlehampton.. Tea, biscuits and sea-air all provided free of charge! If you've any questions, please send me a PM or ask away here. Thanks for looking. Nik

    All good thanks Greg! Have another BUMP on me for a great bass...
  9. silverfoxnik
    Hi Greg, That's a really nice bass - wish I had the spare funds for it right now... Mind you, having said that, I'm still happily using the Schecter Diamond P 5 that you sold me last year. Anyway, this one looks like a lovely bass and good luck with the sale! And just to say to other Basschatters here that Greg looks after his gear, so deal/buy with confidence! Nik

  25. silverfoxnik
    Wow! Sorry to see it hasn't worked out for you and that you're moving this on so quickly Et, but I'm sure the bass has benefitted a lot from you setting it up as you have done. I have to agree with you about the strings - as you said, I'd put some Elixirs on it before I sold it - but they didn't sit that well with the bass for me, nice strings as they are. It is quite a resonant bass as you said and I'm sure the D'Addario XL nickel-wounds sound great on it! I sometimes wonder about whether I actually prefer playing 4 or 5 string basses, and it can be really confusing switching between the two during gigs (as I do), but in the end, I've probably spent more time playing 5 string basses over the years than I have 4 strings, so that's where I've decided I feel most comfortable... However, you know what suits you best, so if you could pick up a four-string Roscoe Beck, that'd probably be perfect for you? Anyway, it's a fabulous bass and I'm sure it'll find a good new home very quickly and good luck with the sale.. All the best Nik
