never even have me a nudge. a message. a call. did I not say when you wanted did to do the above?!

Bought some bits from Beedster. Nice guy and all sorted quickly

thanks for all the input guys. im currently due to some of the information on here looking at xotics and sadowkys. just on a side note what about shukers? no love?

I realise this is probably a polarizing question. But who does everybody believe makes the best jazz bass? I'm talking£1000-£2000 Mark New or used. I'm not particularly bothered about the electronics just the overall build quality. We looking at fender,maruscyk, lakland, sandburg, mayones? What's everyone's opinions? I've only ever had fender jazzed but would love to hear others thought. Cheers people

Just in case

Pleasure doing buisiness with jim. Speedy postage and great communication.

Inboxed:)

maybe optomistic?

It's a Frankenstein jazz, ash body, flame maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Fender noiseless pickups with a mayones preamp. But I'm wanting to go back passive. I had a 64 custom shop relic so was thinking of the CS 60's ones? Wizard/hortrod 60's possibly? So many to look at

im looking for a set of jazz pickups. ideally i want a nice vintage sounding 60's set. whats peoples general consensus on the best sets available?

So I'm thinking of getting a shortscale 4 string as a backup to my jazz and P. Now ideally as a huge Garry Tallent fan I'd have this http://spectorbass.com/shortytrade-garry-tallent.html however this is currently logistically and financially beyond my means.
So the question is now. what to try?
I don't really like sg basses as the neck shape feels all wrong. Any advice would be great.

Thanks

I've been using an orange crush 50w for these kind of gigs. Although it's not the lightest it's pretty portable and I've not had any problems being heard. It says 50w but sooo loud. I've only needed to DI it once that I remember.

As I said I've never seen one of these.

Same bridge though

No it's a solid body. The wood is possibly stained and then it's got a lacquered finish like a peavey cirrus kind of look

look a bit like a warwick? they made some warwick-a-likes in the 90's with the T logo

No more like an alembic like I say, it's even got the weird "lump" sticking out under the rear strap button.

Check the basses in the link think the one you have is the 3rd one down

Afraid not. It's at least 8 years old. A friend bought it used 7 years ago and I've just squired it. It's not an overwater tanglewood :\ thanks though.

Definitely not a canyon either

So. I've got a bass here that I know very little about. It's a tanglewood and has the "t" logo on the headstock. It's a through neck with a 5 piece laminate neck and two emc soap bars which are active. It looks like an alembic copy or similar. With a hipshot style bridge. It's currently off being set up, cleaned and serviced so I haven't got any pics. Anyone seen these before? Pics will go up in the week.

waiting on something selling on ebay. i'll pm you if this is still up

Thanks

Where on the marketplace forum would I most likely find people selling parts? Necks and bodies really. Also anyone recommend and companies other than warmoth that do good bodies and necks? Preferably more than just jazz and p-bass ones. I'm after a project it seems . Thanks in advance
