I just felt a small twitch in the loins.

Sorry guys, it is a lovely bass.

Hi Josh, the first one was a bit tatty, dinks and lacquer cracks but I thought, for £599, well, that's fair enough. It had heavy flats on it, B E A D, so, when I put lighter strings on, I needed to adjust the truss rod. I put the allen key in and it just spun, as the socket at the end of the rod was too big, it appeared to have had the faces sheared slightly, the owner had never done any work to the bass before, letting his tech do so, so was unaware. When I told him, he immeadiately sent out another bass, in much better condition. I cannot fault this fantastic response and as a result, we have become friends and keep in touch, he is a great bloke.

It's not the original one that was on ebay though, as it had a small problem, so the seller, who is a brilliant guy, sent me an identical replacement, (he owns 3 the same) which was in much better condition, with an original Status flight case. It's an amazing instrument and makes playing a joy. But I guess you don't want to hear that.

That is sh*t Hot.

However I understand that the mag changed ownership recently and, given the current economic situation, there's bound to be some cutbacks one way or another if they're planning to turn the business around and make some money out of it. Of course if people care more about running the mag into the ground more than having a decent bass-focussed publication, then thats up to them. FWIW, they actually some major problems in even getting companies to send them review basses. Not even the manufacturers appear to be that enthusiastic. So I'd suggest that the readership have probably got [b]an opportunity[/b] to shape the publication into something that they'd be prepared to buy every month. Alternatively, there's always basschat.

Bidding ended with no bids.

Excellent, any reason for the different cabs?

hi Bobo, lefty love here.

I love the way she looks really into it and fearless and she has the ability to make you feel at ease while you watch her, just like Jaco. Big smiles, lots of joy, playing music is the best.

Has your drummer got one of those John Bonham Ludwigs?

Does anyone know where they are made? I seem to remember China, then shipped back to the states for inspection and set up. So that's one hell of a round trip, with a huge carbon footprint. The whole idea of an affordable bass for £500, or dollars is disgusting, Flea should stay out of business and stick to what he knows best, making albums that are becoming progressively duller.

Well in.

I like the mint one that you already have. Tort is like the sunburst default setting.

I know, I should have bought his Ric as well. I am a dobber. End of.

Whatever you do, don't metion THAT!

Am I a tit? I had a chance to buy a Spitfire last year on ebay for £750, (Rick Wakemans' bass player was selling it), did I screw up?
