  1. [i]Some[/i] people on basschat dislike them for several reasons. David Nimrod and I are obviously exceptions . Have a nose through this thread for full details: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6976"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6976[/url]
  2. I've owned both and can honestly say i'm not too bothered..
  3. Sounds like the words of a man with some cash spare .
  4. Whilst I do like the look of the Ibanez and am experiencing 6 string GAS this month - I don't think I could part with my Stingray for anything...
  5. A Stingray is worth a good £250 more than what you want for the Ibanez.. were you going to bump some cash in too ?
  6. But then she will expect it to be sold !
  7. If you're suspicious of it you should check out some Ric forums to make sure the serial isn't listed as stolen.
  8. Are you going to spill the beans on price ?
  9. I'm inclined to agree - I don't feel there is a justified need for a separate forum.
  10. I'll let it run for a few days until no-one bothers voting anymore - then we have our answer .
  11. Poll added - let the public decide !
  12. [quote name='john_the_bass' post='89539' date='Nov 16 2007, 06:01 PM']Why Matt? just interested to know your reasons behind that? I've not played one so I'd welcome any input on them. I know there's one or two owned on here.[/quote] I think CIJ are the best [i]value[/i] of all the Fender range. They're pretty much American quality at just over Mexican prices.
  13. Adrian Ashtons The Bass Handbook [url="http://www.bassplace.com/RF015.html"]http://www.bassplace.com/RF015.html[/url] Has some stuff from our own Stuart Clayton in there too - really great book.
  14. Well I have a 2000 MIM Jazz, which as far as Fenders go, is near the bottom of the rungs. I find it has a few flaws, but they can all be fixed fairly cheaply when I pull my finger out (new pots, possibly new pickups). Out of what you've suggested i'd go for the CIJ 70's reissue.
  15. What next - something that plays for you too ?
  16. Where can I find this list ? .
  17. A preamp box will definitely be what you're after then...
  18. I'm not sure how you mean quiet ? Quiet compared to what ?
  19. For that budget, I don't think the Yamaha BB615 can be beaten, a smidgeon over the £300. [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/yamaha-bb615/70814"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/yamaha-bb615/70814[/url]
  20. I think you'll be ok - the head handles a minimum of 2ohms and plugging both cabs in will give you ~3ohms. The bit telling you its 406watts @ 4 ohms is just information.
  21. This is becoming a very intriguing thread.. it's making me ponder whether all the hype about differing tonewoods is utter nonsense or just over exaggerated...
  22. First bump.. I suppose I could always get it refretted...
  23. A very open question unfortunately. What's your budget ? What style of music do you play ?
  24. I think another factor when buying an instrument is how it'll be perceived by others. Some people (possibly including myself) wouldn't want to be on stage with some no-name bass that no-one has heard of or is perceived to be rubbish. It's the Skoda effect..
