    Baja bump...
  2. MattM
    Thanks guys it is indeed probably the best Tele I've ever played. Unfortunately am sticking to bass and acoustic more these days, and need to buy a bike to help with back injury rehab, so needs must. On the Bay and Gumtree, but have had a couple of great deals with local BCers in Scotland so fingers crossed...

    Fender Baja Tele - excellent condition, home use only with Fender gig bag. Has the full 4 way switching, S1 gubbins which gives trad Tele plus Strat and humbucker tones. Great neck. Only for sale owing to needs to raise funds for back injury rehab. At this stage, only available for pickup/delivery in Central Scotland - owing to injury hard for me to get out and about just now. £400 firm, which represents a +£200 saving on new. Please check my feedback thread.

    The cutaway version of this has been my acoustic weapon of choice for gigs, recordings and home use for about 15 years now...great guitars

    Is it a Mighty. Mite jazz width neck? Cheers

    Steinberger L2 unlined fretless and a pre EB natural ash 'Ray with black scratchplate. Yin yang kinda thing with my current squeezes...

    2EQ. Bass full on. Treble on only a nadge. Sexual.

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1381576630' post='2240814'] I'm thinking that 'bassiest' means naturally closest to the fundamental, with fewer harmonics and overtones. I hear that the Steinberger is excellent for this. A favoured tool by deep reggae players. [/quote] +1. I've played and tried a lot of basses over 30 odd years, nothing matches an XL2 for fundamental clarity. Pair that up with the monumental sustain and you have quite a weapon on your hands. Was having much fun today actually with some old Jah Wobble lines...think he used an Ovation, cited elsewhere on the thread?

    Gorgeous, looks great in black, much cheaper than a new stealth 'Ray and probably just as good. Take it you and Greggo (who had a thread over in Bass section) have been in touch since he's lusting after a SUB and is in Wigan?

    Edinburgh, temptingly close. Always wanted a play on one of these, looks awesome.
  12. MattM
    £350-400 ish depending on condition and colour. White ones are rare

    Slab body, no contour. No biggy. I was fortunate enough to be able to buy a genuine 2EQ Ray shortly after having one and, apart from cosmetics (textured body, painted rosewood neck) sound and build were on a par. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

    Total 80s casualty here. Started out on a Westone in 85, took the opportunity to try out a Ray and a WAL at the same time - couldn't afford either but loved the Ray, hated the parametric EQ and weight of the WAL. Got to be a Berger as the iconic 80s bass though but do not let the look or image out you off, these are awesome basses, once tried never forgotten.
  15. MattM
    My first bass was actually my most complex, Westone 1A - three knobs, two switches. I'm now a confirmed three knob dude with my Berger and Ray 2EQ, have never needed more really, things like Alembics and Wals scare the bejesus out of me....
  16. MattM
    Never was a fan, particularly with white pick guards on Precisions and clones thereof. Then I bought my fretless 'Ray from a local dude who's a Pino fan... [IMG]http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac162/MattM1314/7217576e.jpg[/IMG]

    The Musicmaster-toting dude is seriously good at multitasking....check this out http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hF1WJ4dChRE We may never need separate drummers again...

    Ps are inherently middly which works well enough for most things. If you're getting more the tone you need from switching basses, maybe something like a Ray would be a good shout? Active, bucker, never ever been short on bass on one in my experience.
  19. MattM
    Seconded for the B2A, good quality and within budget if the looks are what you're after.

    NBD :)

    Looks like the bass equivalent of Joe Strummers telecaster...not a bad thing IMHO. Clean the scratch plate, bang on a few stickers, sorted.
  21. MattM
    Getting more and more difficult to find in this sort of condition, best original gig bag I've seen I think. Buy with confidence, they're awesome basses.
  22. MattM
    Open G is GDGBD using 5 strings, you basically can do a barre chord with one finger, then add your suspended chords on top with one or two fingers. Ideal for things like Brown Sugar or Start Me Up where you could, in theory, play them while severely drugged out your brain and still sound decent. Not that that was in Keefs thoughts of course...

    [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1372543725' post='2127109'] Nobody mentioned Peaches ? [/quote] [quote name='MattM' timestamp='1372442963' post='2125889'] Oh and mining the alternative slant further: Holiday In Cambodia - Dead Kennedys Peaches - Stranglers Gigantic - Pixies A Good Idea - Sugar [/quote]

    Just caught it on iPlayer, tight as a gnats chuff, but its crying out for a 2EQ 'Ray...
