I erm...pulled a guy once when i was asked to play a precision at a party..i layed down Marcus's, 'Run For Cover' with all the frills, while someone played the bongos...trouble is im not gay... -
i sent him a message asking him if i could see the bass, as im a erm....Vintage Fender Jazz collector.. .he said i couldnt because he was away and he would let me know.....sorry i spoilt it, it may not have been me, but i told him to stop trying to rip people off...i hate people like this that have nothing better to do with there lives than makes others a misery by trying to rip them off....hes a scum bag... just imagine if it was a newbee who maybe didnt have our foresight and shelled out his/her saved up cash to get there first bass, and this pxxxk takes it and runs...

Could be a MIM but distrrssed ? for any bass with Fender on the headstock this price is low...confusing...if its too good to be true...it usually is..

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='884484' date='Jul 3 2010, 12:16 AM']This bass has been passed around a bit recently, I'm the third owner in about three months. I don't really know why, because it's a really great bass, both soundwise, to play and in looks. I'm only selling it because I already have two other jazz basses with rosewood fretboards, and I've just bought a Marcus Miller signature bass. I should point out that this may already be sold, but I'm going to advertise it anyway in case that sale falls through. The bass has a great low action and is currently fitted with DR Lo-rider nickel strings. It comes with a good quality gig bag. Personal collection from Birmingham is preferred, but I will post if absolutely necessary. I've had it set up since I bought it, and it now has a tortoiseshell pickguard fitted to it. I still have the original black one that will accompany the sale. It also has a chrome pickup cover fitted to it for the 'Marcus' look. I'd like £595 plus shipping for it. Trades welcome for a 5 string Musicman (plus cash from me). I'd prefer white or sunburst. Or an Aguilar AG500 or AG500SC. I'm going to be playing on a cruise ship from the middle of next month, so I'd like to get a deal sorted out before then.[/quote]I'm only selling it because I already have two other jazz basses with rosewood fretboards, and I've just bought a Marcus Miller signature bass.

Rasta for me the best JTQ album in "in the hand of the Inevitable" very soulful....yeah Corduroy were/are cool...was that the one with the helicopter on the cover? i remember having a double album.... would just lke to say if the OP wants real Jazz Funk Soul check out Lonnie Liston, Donald Byrd, The Mizzele Bro's, The Brecker Bro's, Billy Cobham..and of course the first Incognito album titled erm...Jazz Funk, bloody amazing...well you might as well start where they all got it from..

DR Fat Beams on the Fender, DR High beams on the Sei...I love the round inner core, that allows for a more flexible string....ction has to be taken up a smidge mind i want to try Black Beauties next...more mid punch and last longer

oh i didnt think of the Bartolinis...of course they are single coils! EBS the controls are screened...the control cavity with black screening paint and the control cover is aluminium with a veneer top..Maybe i should put the Nordstrand NJse's in...and put the Barts in the Fender... i didnt realise but Martin has used the 4 string version of the Bartolinis in a 5 String Sei...

Hey! excuse the title thought it might get your attention.. just wondered what you guys/girls thought...i have a U Retro in my Sei and im getting all sorts of buzzing noises and general interference from electronics....there is a background white noise and when i touch the controls there is a buzz.... oh and the buzzing is still there in passive mode keep in mind this is through headphones so is less easy to hear through the Aguilar...but annoying all the same... any ideas

Any tips for reducing friction on a painted neck?

any of these will do it.. -
Any tips for reducing friction on a painted neck?
bubinga5 replied to fatback's topic in Bass Guitars
IMO it doesnt matter how much you wash your hands, your hands will sweat....no, there is nothing wrong with the neck, but if you dont like the feel of it, there is... there is a reason why Sadowsky and an SR5 dont have high gloss necks.. personally i find a high gloss neck hinders my playing..i use very fine wire wool to take the edge off of it...i like smooth transitions...
