bassatnight

Anyone catch Simply Red last night on ITV? Was wondering if anyone could confirm the bassist was playing a 50th Aniversary Fender Jazz? Lovely sounds... How could Hucknall call the band Simply Red as he was the only original member playing...?

They have had these for a while, not sure how many they actually have in stock mind. They are super basses mind!

Sadowsky for me.

Some of John Entwhistle's basses sold for just a grand or two and this is £25k!? I know whose basses should be worth more - the full time bass player!

Pics of my new 2006 limited edition black and gold to follow..... Yum!!!!!!

She's arrived!!!!!!!!

Read an article that these late 90's Fender P Deluxes are a little special, anyone got one as they seem a bit rare. They have a humbucker on as opposed to the Jazz config.

They are indeed.....[quote name='SignsOfDelirium_bassist' post='953217' date='Sep 11 2010, 10:26 PM']Wow! first MM I've ever really liked...Very nice! Is it just me and my dodgey eyes, or are the pole pieces gold too?[/quote]

For that money Id look at Sadowsky P basses, I think Sadowsky are the best builder these days. Might have to add a couple of hundred though. Saw one played in Glasgow against an American Fender deluxe and the Sad blew it away for tonal range.

Always loved the black and gold finish, takes me back to watching Henry Thomas on Rockschool back in the day with his Yamaha BB5000 in black and gold. Oh well thats the gass gone for a while..... unless theres a US Deluxe P out there...;-)

Cheers guys....

Hi Jon, I have been after one of these for so long and its a rare life keeper, now a Fender Deluxe P and my life will be complete although I may have save up for quite a while now! ;-) Steev.[quote name='jonthebass' post='952617' date='Sep 11 2010, 12:08 PM']Good Man! It's great to score something you've been after for a while isn't it? Cheers, Jon[/quote]

OMG I am over the moon, I have been looking for a bass to replace a recent sale (one out one in) and I was happily trawling through the Bass shop websites and thought I'd have a look at what Stingrays they had when I saw this headline - 2006 Ltd Edt Musicman Stingray in Black with gold trimmings, I have been after one of these babes since they were released but they have been out of my price range and as rare as hens teeth. Quickly checked the bank account and sweated buckets as the browser took ages to go through the buying process and just got the e-mail confirmation thats shes mine! Only thing left is to try and convince her in doors it didn't cost too much, but being all black and gold I think she won't buy it! looks liek it may cost me additional shoes and a night out for her! ;-(

I have recently been offered a bass worth around £200 in a trade for one of my Aria SB1000's. I had assumed the guy would also being giving me at least £500 on top of the trade bass, but no he expected a straight swap! this reminded me of another trade off I recieved a couple of years ago for my American Fender Jazz, the guy in question thought his Mexican with wait for it added Badass bridge was also a fair swap! Can anyone out there better these Super Trades!? Steve.
