    **SOLD** Here i have an immaculate Squier VM P bass in Amber finish with maple neck. I bought this to do some recording for a friend and ended up using my Warwick instead, and it's been sat on a stand in my music room ever since. I've only played it twice, The previous owner bought it for the same reason, to do some home recording and sold it on as soon as it was surplus to requirements. As a result it's in virtually as new condition, it's never been gigged, in fact it's never been out of the house! the only marks i can find on it are some pick playing marks on the scratchplate. It's got fairly new sounding strings on it which are D'Addario judging by the multi coloured ball ends. I've got a generic Stagg gig bag that can go with it and still have the box it was sent to me in so am happy to post at your expense. If you'd prefer to use your own courier then that's absolutely fine, and you are of course welcome to come try it out/collect from my house in Bristol if that is preferable, the kettle will be on or beer in fridge! I'm happy to meet up within reasonable distance (70 mile round trip) if that is easier for you. Obviously i'd prefer to hand it over in person but as i said i'm happy to send it. Not looking for any trades on this as i'm about to order a Sire Marcus Miller jazz type bass and this will just go to part repleneshing that outlay. Any questions feel free to ask.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425471791' post='2707632'] Some excellent quotes in there... "[color=#464646][font=Arial,] [/font][/color][color=#464646][font=Arial,][i]In jazz bass with a ash body can be quite a tendency to obesity watch, especially the Fender originals from the 70s are partially heavy as lead[/i]" [/font][/color] [/quote] 😄 When I bought my Bongo the website was in Dutch, I translated it using Google and it actually made even less sense in English!!

    [quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1425424830' post='2707350'] Are there any sound samples available?? [/quote] This was posted earlier in the thread, the written review is in German but if you scroll down the page there's some sound samples: http://m.bonedo.de/artikel/einzelansicht/sire-marcus-miller-v7-4-saiter-bass-test.html

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425368364' post='2706502'] Cool. Because I do give my knob a good tug now and again... [/quote] 😂😂

    Thanks. I think I'm convinced enough, time to get my arse in gear and photograph the Squier VM P bass I've got sat being unused upstairs and get it sold. That can go towards it and I'll feel like I don't have to justify it to myself if I'm moving something on! 😀
  6. ern500evo
    Dave, how does it compare tone wise to your Squier's? I keep looking at the V7 4 string in the same colour as yours, was just wondering how it compares to Squier's VM and CV jazzes as it sits between the 2 price wise.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425309628' post='2706070'] It's new to me, but was bought new a year ago... [/quote] That should have the updated knobs on then, so no issues.

    If he can't nail it, make him feel better by telling him John Mayer couldn't nail it either! 😀

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425023418' post='2702942'] That's excellent customer service! I haven't noticed this problem on my RH750 yet (but I've only had it less than a week!). I'll keep a eye open for my knobs dropping off now... [/quote] I think the later ones have better quality knobs, so if yours is a newer one you should be fine.

    [quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1424985667' post='2702738'] Jennie, send a quick email to TC support. They have some new redesigned ones that fit better and are more solid. They'll send you some for free and theyll arrive in double time in my experience. Steve [/quote] +1 I emailed them just before xmas to enquire where I could buy a replacement volume knob and shift button, 2 days later a full set of knobs and full set of buttons arrived in the post, free of charge. They accept that the earlier ones weren't great and will replace them for free.

    Did a headline slot with the originals band at a Big Lebowski themed party at The Lanes in Bristol on Friday. Having never watched the film properly it all went over my head a bit really! It was the venue's first gig with their new PA and the soundcheck took forever! By the time we played at 11.15 the sound engineer had ironed out most of the problems though so apart from a few odd moments of low hum feedback it sounded good. Good appreciative crowd and some good feedback from people after which was cool. Have gone back to using my Ashdown hyperdrive pedal, and after some time spent at rehearsal this week tweaking the settings on the pedal and eq on the Shuttle 9.2 to suit the cab, finally got it sounding just how I want. Used my Streamer LX and had a lovely driven, gritty tone but still with a fat, well defined bottom end. Well pleased.

    If it's the Hells Bells from Bristol, my friend was their 'Angus' for quite a few years.

    [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1424515924' post='2697128'] Both? [/quote] I'd have to get a stealth black carrier bag for the Bongo, don't want it to clash with the finish! 😊
  15. ern500evo
    [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1424515665' post='2697125'] You could always put a carrier bag over the headstock? [/quote] On the Bongo or the V7?? 😀

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424509164' post='2697015'] Squier VM Jazz incoming? [/quote] Would be really interested to hear the V7 and a VMJ A/B'd. I'm guessing the pre-amp on the V7 will give it the edge and justify the small extra cost. Like I said Mark, I play a Bongo so you'd think I wouldn't be worried about aesthetics!

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1424505881' post='2696964'] Hopefully not, nudge-nudge, wink-wink. [/quote] That's a Lozz bass if ever I saw one!

    I am so tempted by the V7 in white, been finding myself drawn to Jazz basses in that colour scheme lately. I really don't need another bass but at that price it seems almost rude not to! The only snag is that every time I look at the pics I get to the headstock and think, hmmm it is pretty grim. I play a Bongo for Christ sake, you'd think the look of the headstock would be the last thing to bother me! 😀

    I tend to just Bluetooth everything from phone to Orbitsound soundbar now. Would still love a really nice amp/speaker set up but like most modern things, convenience wins. We have a lot of bbq's and people around in the summer and it's just so easy to select a spotify playlist on my phone, switch soundbar on and let it run. Bit of a cop out I know, but I like the easy life! 😊

    The best steakhouse I've ever been to in Manhattan is a place called Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. It's on 51st between 6th and 7th avenues, not cheap but the food was fantastic. Some of the open top bus tours are good too, you can hop on and off all day. I can't remember the name of the one I did but the buses were like a burgundy and cream sort of colour, you can haggle with them and get the uptown and downtown loops for a pretty good price. The Twin tower memorials are also well worth a visit, beautifully understated. Can't agree enough with the take comfortable shoes, you will walk a LOT! Don't know how long you're going for but its worth maybe making 2 lists of activities, one list of things that you most definitely want to do and a second list of things you'd like to do if time allows. Time flies and it's easy to get to the last day and realise there's loads you still want to do. Most of all just enjoy, take it in, it's an amazing place. I've been to plenty of places and if I could only ever go back to one place I've visited I'd pick NY without hesitation. I absolutely love the place.

    Would be good to hear one of these A/B'd with a Squier VMJ or CV.

    I've got both. I had the RH750 first, then bought the Shuttle 9.2 just because I fancied trying something different. My thoughts are this, the 750 is a good amp with a cracking feature set, 3 memory presets, built in tuner, on board compressor and TubeTone, and with the foot controller it's very versatile. However, I find with my Barefaced Big Twin 2, the Shuttle just seems to work better. It's very clean with superb clarity but you can dial in some tube warmth if you want it. I will say though, I spoke to a friend who has a RH750 and his verdict is that his RH works far better when he uses it through TC cabs. If you will make use of all the features on the RH they are great, but if the presets, compressor, TubeTone are not going to be of much use to you I'd go with the Shuttle.

    I bought an amp from a guy who had a SR1205, I used it to try the amp out and have to say it was one of the nicest basses I've ever played.
