    This 'may' be of interest... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71183"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=71183[/url] Even if you left the Jazz pup turned off (the volume control is ideal for that ) the Nordstrand on it's own sounds fab.

    Duplicate thread!

    Selling to make way for an incoming bass. Not sure of the age but I'll check the serial number against the Zon record and update. I'm almost certain it doesn't have a truss rod (though I am aware that some have the rod and that you have to remove the neck to get at the adjuster... don't fancy doing that at this point). As you may well be aware the Zon graphite necks are set-up to not require tweaking and this one is spot on with a nice low action with no noticeable fret wear. The neck is very slim and shallow and lives up to the advertising claim to be the 'Jazz bass for the 90's'. It has Bartolini pups and a retro-fitted Bartolini pre. The bass is in very good condition with one small ding through to the wood and a little chip in the headstock but no nasty bucklerash etc. Controls are Vol Pan and stacked bass/treble. I've just had the jack socket replaced as it had an intermittent drop out when the jack plug/lead moved about, all now good. Any questions just PM me and I'll get back to you pretty sharpish.

    GONE

    warwickhunt posted a topic in Basses For Sale

    [size=7][color="#FF0000"]GONE[/color][/size] I've basically decided that not only do I prefer light basses (this is 9lb and balances perfect) but I also want reduced body size basses (though not cricket bat ones ). I'd be interested in a Sterling or other basses of similar quality, must be small bodied bass and no more than 9lb in weight.

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='656821' date='Nov 17 2009, 11:41 AM']I liked the Sterling I had, it was very bright, punchy and aggressive - the neck was sublime and had a Jazz profile. It hung well in the mix and smelt of toffee (no kidding).[/quote] [u]That[/u] bass really did smell of vanilla/toffee didn't it! [quote name='dave_bass5' post='688961' date='Dec 19 2009, 11:32 AM']I came across Ed Friedland's (and that German guy who i cant understand and the Italian guy who had way too much low end but a nice jacket) video reviews of the Sterling by MM SB14 and SR34 and i must say, im impressed with the tone, more so the SB14 than the SR4 I think this may well be what im looking for. Although Ed reviewed both together i thought the SB14 sounded better and has more variation in tone. Also i believe it has a more Jazz like neck as opposed to the SR4 having a more P like one.[/quote] I'm glad you're going to actually go out and try these basses as it's a HUGE mistake to listen to someone else play them and imagine that's how they'd sound in your 'hands' (as that's where the main difference can lie). I've known people play my basses, through my gear, and still manage to get a completely different sound to the one that I get! Though I accept if you are listening to someone do an A/B between two basses then at least you can hear a difference between the two.

    What does the whole bass weigh?

    [quote name='Conan' post='688492' date='Dec 18 2009, 04:07 PM']So what does it all mean? How can I judge which amps and cabs will suit me? Do I simply pay as much as I can afford? Or do I spend the rest of my allotted three score years and ten trying out amp/cab combinations to the point of madness? A labour of love maybe, but I generally don't like music shops! Dammit - I'm not even sure which size of speakers I prefer! 8, 10, 12, 15 or 18 or any feasible combination of them... [/quote] Been there, done that and have in fact got the Basschat T-Shirt (honest)! It's not as if you have to go to shops and buy all the latest gear, then find it doesn't suit you (after which you take a massive resale depreciation)... simply buy from trusted Basschat members who have gone through or are going through the same minefield. There are years of fun trying to find what suits you, at not a huge depreciation in value!

    Now if you had the matching SD Jazz pup to go with this we'd be talking... you don't do you?

    In an 'ideal world', a bit more than you've just paid for it (so you should know that figure) BUT in the real world a bit [u]less[/u] than you've just paid for it!

    The other thread on this bass got me looking at the bass again... is it just me or is it a bit 'too' red and shiny for a Fender/Squier colour (and I assume that it is a white scratchplate painted that metallic colour)?
  14. warwickhunt
    It appears that the guy with the silver sparkle bass has taken your advice... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330387673673&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MEWAX:VRI[/url]

    [quote name='hagguy' post='686842' date='Dec 16 2009, 10:39 PM']warwick streamer std passive bass in wine red colour couple dings nothing major plays really nice want some new gear so has to go £350 open to offers and swaps alot of bass for the money showed as much detail of the dent on the horn as i could get with the camera any questions mail me[/quote] TBH mate if you are wanting 'that' kind of money for your bass you are really going to have to at least spell it correctly in the thread title!

    Should the pup lugs be showing from underneath the bridge cover on a 70's Jazz (assuming it is fitted correctly and it looks pretty far back)... I'm no expert (and I'm always up for some education) but shouldn't the whole rear pup be under the cover; coincidentally, when did the rear pup get moved back even further in the 70's? Just asking!
  18. warwickhunt
    So it's a 90's Squier... pretty sure I'd rather shell out a smidgen more and get one of the 'new' Squier basses!

    I'll add my name to the growing list of those not convinced by neo loaded cabs (whether that be because of the driver/design/cab material). After several years in the wilderness trialling neo equipped EBS 2x12's, Tech Soundsystems 2x10/1x15/6x10/2x12 (the last one being the Tecamp Puma combo) I converted/reverted to the Aguilar DB12's... I came home; Ah bliss!

    [quote name='trent900' post='685237' date='Dec 15 2009, 02:43 PM']I'm looking forward the the MB Fusion, though I expect it won't come cheap.[/quote] Soundslive appear to have one in stock @ £760.

    It's not just Flea basses and I'm not sure that it's 'significantly' affected by the time of year. Just a couple weeks ago I watched a MM Sterling (not the new 'Ray' model but a proper one) go for £510 and it looked tasty, bar a ciggie burn at the headstock (assuming that is an old scar ); I also watched a very rare late 80's Ltd Ed NT Streamer bass go for £610... that went the second time listed after failing to get £600 the first time! However, I agree that a year ago that Flea would have been £1000 all day long.

    Tecamp

    warwickhunt replied to JimGavin's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Didn't someone post saying that they thought the Tecamp was powered by a modified 'Powersoft' unit?

    Is there any routing under the pickguard, i.e. can the pickguard be removed without any ugly channels etc.?

    The first picture that you have hosted (sighting up the neck) makes it look like you could drive a bus between the string and the fingerboard... what's the action 'really' like?
