I'd gig an £800 bass I reckon, I'd only be worried if it was fragile like a hofner. In my house £1600, for a doublebass i'd pay £2k because I find them more fun to play, they're super classy too. Definately agree on the £1500 bass versus a £10,000, once your up there, your up there the difference is not as vast as £200 versus £1500. The most i've spent is £1250 for a fantastic Marleaux bass but at current i'd need to jump to £700-£800 to recognise a difference from my £60 P bass copy. Great feedback guys, I can't pitch in about cars I literally know nothing haha i'd be interested if I lived where My Name is Earl lives but I wouldn't throw a penny at Cardiff's roads!!!

I think my limit would be £1600 but it would only be for home enjoyment...I might even use it for home jam sessions but that would be it! I reckon after 4-8 years you'd get your moneys worth back and i'd relax like I do about laptops over £500 = 3 years use and i'm happy, its probably out of date by then too nowadays. I would definitely pay £1600 for a guitar because I tend to use them more playing in my bedroom whereas bass I like to practice with others. HOWEVER, with basses you tend to notice the quality difference between boutique and stock much more than in the geetar market I think. If I could pick any bass it would be this : [url="http://www.frays-basscorner.com/instock/new_used/WT_ZoidVM.html"]http://www.frays-basscorner.com/instock/ne.../WT_ZoidVM.html[/url] OR this: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/official-skjold-club-part-5-a-532590/index30.html"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/official-...90/index30.html[/url] ...But I'm guessing their both like £3k

I converted after 6 years but I still have a lot of love for an EB3 or fretless jazz - I can't get on with rickenbackers because of small hands.

What a great vid

Black plate for maple necks!! Nah I wouldn't feel guilty about a P bass, one of those basses that'll last you life and can use for pretty much everything! I've tried all sorts and ended up with a precision despite my best efforts to resist. I failed to fight off Fender in general, as a kid I thought they looked boring and "everybodys got one"...then I realised why

Same music taste and i'm from Truro too originally! More of an EB3 fan than Ricky's , although, I had a '72 sunburst 4001 copy made by John Birch, sounded just like Geezer Butler . Welcome Aboard!
