Can't praise Strings Direct enough. Very fast service and helpful as well.

Wish this thread had started a week or so back. Picked up a Zoom H2 with a 4gb card and extra lavalier mic for £111 off ebay,faily new by the looks. Wife seems quite happy with her new toy.

Why on earth are these files so expensive. I needed to open up the slots on my Ryder to accomodate the black nylons I was putting on and used the file on my trusty Leatherman tool,or it might have been the swiss army knife. Any way,these are just files and they sell small files in model shops,radiospares maplins etc,i mean its only a bit of plastic for gods sake so why the mega price?

Topman Phil One of the sets of strings I bought had a short G string and Phil paypalled me a refund straight away. One of the best to deal with. Thanks Phil You be a star.************************

So there you go. A bass thats given 37 pages of discussion,sorted out Sue Ryders stock,given a lot of pleasure to so many people as well as giving a test bed for you all to try out different things. All for sixty notes. Thats value for money.

[quote name='BassBod' post='1162682' date='Mar 15 2011, 08:07 AM']Where was that...bit shocking!? Bristol was something like £22 when I looked, and I thought that was pretty pricey for a venue like the Colston Hall.[/quote] WhenI looked earlier that was the price I seemed to see,however on another perusal he's doing an appearance at the Royal Festival Hall on the 4June. Tickets £24.50 -£45.00 so maybe I was mistaken. Must say I would far prefer to see him at a smaller more intimate venue even if it were a bit more,but not a lot more.

Missed the London Gigs(Ronnie Scots) but I notice the tickets for the other gigs seem to £80ish. So bollocks to that.

Not heard that for years ,thanks for posting,enjoyed it.

Jeff Becks got shares in Grecian 2000 or he's wearing a very strange hairpiece.

Must say part of the attraction of the Jag is its look. They just look so nice and a bit different to the general run of the mill basses out there. The Big Al is quite a different looking guitar and it packs quite a price as well.At over £1700 I would be expecting certain other pleasures from playing it besides sounding nice. Referring to the pickups I've never come across any derogatory remarks about Fender jazz pickups ,be they American or Japanese,in fact the sound from the jag in passive leaves my MIA jazz in the shade.

In twenty years time you'll be glad you kept that bass,unless you didn't.

Actually very happy with mine. Sounds good passive or active(may have a dry joint on one of thecontrols in the pre)it looks great and is comfy to play. Love it

[quote name='Buzz' post='1154764' date='Mar 8 2011, 11:42 PM']Looks like it's gone. It's in the drop down as you say, but it's not actually on the upper menu bar with the Jazz, Precision and Mustang if you go onto the actual model pages. Some topics on their forums note that even in the USA they've vanished from shops and now the webby, although there's no official word. Bit of a shame really.[/quote] Don't know if they're still being made for the Japan only market,but nows a good time to try and bag yourelf one,before the prices start to go up. There's an unused s/h one on ebygumtree for the princely sum of £900 in black. one turned up on ebay last week that had been gigged and it sold bin for £340 with hard case. I think they stopped producing in 2008.

Very useful thankyou

Another here for Si. Mentioned to him a few weeks back that I was looking for a Jaguar bass in red and he sourced one for me from the good ole U S of A. Absolutely mint and a bit of a stunner. Got a nice Mustang off him last year as well,but I seem to have forgotten to mention that. If your looking for something in particular its well worth giving him a call,you just never know. Tea's good too.
