I got a nice sunburst one off ebay last week

My Musicman Sterling:

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1062517' date='Dec 18 2010, 02:41 PM']Nice basses & I too have an Orange Terror head and Ampeg cabs. All good fun At the risk of exposing you as a pit dweller, tis nearly an hour into the afternoon at the time of your post! [/quote] It wasn't when I started writing it I got side tracked!

After the following amps and cabs, I've ended up with something I'm really happy with: Peavy TNT 150 Ashdown MAG 300 2x10 combo, then added the 1x15 cab Ashdown ABM 300 Mini 48 and 115 cabs Ampeg SVT 450H head and SVT 410HLF cab (sold the head and now I use:) And the size of the head in comparison to the amp lol: Effects from left to right: Boss PH-1R Phaser (Quite rare I believe) Boss DS-1 Distortion MXR Bass Fuzz EXH Bass Metaphors Boss TU-12 Tuner I'm pretty happy with my gear now. Shame I'm snowed it at my girlfriends house or that Precision would be getting a good seeing to Off to build snowmen, enjoy!

Morning guys/girls, thought I would do the obligatory "Gear Porn" thread now I've been on here for a while! Sorry for the poor iPhone pics! Been playing for 3 years now but have(had) been a guitarist for easily 10 years before I got asked to fill in at a friends band practice until they found a bass player....Well, a few years later and gigs all over the place I'm still there and have only picked up a 6 string a couple of times since I started with a Squier VMJ but the option to buy a Musicman Sterling from the forum popped up, I spoke to Ped (Me old chumley since we were about 6ish?) and he said go for it! So I sold the Squier and bought this: And then a couple of days ago, I picked up a Highway 1 Precision locally from eBay: As you can see, its the first the they released ("1" as opposed the current "one") so it doesn't have the badass bridge. I love the finish but I thibk the slightly chunkier neck is going to take some getting used to. She also needs a good setup too

If you live anywhere near Oxford you're welcome to try mine

The neck of my Sterling is only slightly wider than a Jazz neck. Very nice to play. From their site: Neck Width: 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) at nut, 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) at last fret Weight: 9 lbs (4.08 kg) - varies slightly [url="http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/sterling.html"]http://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/sterling.html[/url]

Thanks for the heads up, can't argue for 59p!

Nice to see another local band on here

Lovely bass, there is a Jazz on eBay at the moment too: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1984-Vintage-Fender-Squier-JV-Jazz-Bass-/230556461432?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item35ae3c6978"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1984-Vintage-Fender-...=item35ae3c6978[/url]

[quote name='Simon.' post='1046331' date='Dec 3 2010, 01:46 PM']Thanks for the ideas so far folks. I got one of these last year, have used it heavily and love it. I find it a touch on the noisey side, but pretty darn good, and great for travelling with. This however is genius! Didn't know they did a cab to go with it. Definitely on the list![/quote] I agree, can get a bit noisy but I just keep the gain down. The cab is on my list too

I live in Oxford which is a bit further but you're more than welcome to have a blast on mine
