Had 13, down to 2...Im pretty much gas free..but i find it hard not to want this bad boy..

This is a great idea Dave..i will add later

Most have seen these..but some maybe not...and im bored so... Excuse the mishmash of pics.. Fender 24 fret Jazz...Great bass...miss it... Fender MIJ 62 RI...This was a cool bass, Custom Shop pups that were hot! Fender USA Jazz 5...Nice bass, great Jazz growl..Nice color... Fender USA 75 RI...Looks the buisness, loads of mids this one..Awsome slap tone...Wasnt too keen on the all gloss finish though.. Fender USA Custom Shop Closet Classic 1970 LTD Jazz...Best Fender ive owned...for some reason i get bored and want to trade...im an idiot..never again.. Sadowsky RV5..What a tone, what a bass..Couldnt get the action i wanted though....Ordered for Roger when prices were low! Warwick Corvette $$ 5..Huge tone...Im not a warwick man though...Dont like small body's...Didnt mind the neck though, i can play most necks Sting Ray 5...I wish i had never let this go...Amazing build quality, solid S5 tone, lovely neck..And a lovely matching headstock.. Lakland 55-01 Glockenklang pre with Nordies...Great bass, nice tone from this combo... Jack Read Custom NAMM bass...Traded for this bass..Was ok, EMG's a little harsh without a preamp...good slap tone though... Elrick/Cort 5...This was a really nice playable bass, but the preamp let it down... Ostinato 4...Took a gamble when i bought it from the Gallery...it paid off, this bass was amazing...The EMG OBP2 combo was smokin... Yamaha TRB6II...To date (for the price) the best made, pro instrument ive had..Amazing tone, heavy.. Sei Jazz 5 U Retro, Bartolinis...What can i say...Blows them all away,,Build, Looks, Tone, Weight, Feel, Neck, Versatility...They are all top notch from a world class instrument....Ive never played better.... IF i had GAS (which im fending off for now) i would prob look to Sei... sorry to bore some with these pics again..oh the Sei is pre U Retro..I hope Gwillym doesnt mind me using his pics

This is from Ed Friedland.... What does he mean by this? Quote... Their construction design allows them to fit on basses from standard 34" scale to 37.75" scale. If you play a 35" scale 5-string that strings through the body, DRs will definitely fit.....

OBBM it is then...looking like real quality at a great price...

DR's for sure...i love the Marcus Millers..oh and they are bendy! big fat tone with zing! best string on the market IMHO..

???? ive googled it?

Well i have a rehearsal thursday and my lead has given up the ghost!! its just a cheapy, so what do i expect...have had loads of sh*te leads so looking for a good one... Looking to spend £30 ish...Any recommendations...i was thinking George L's or maybe a Planet Waves...I do not want moulded jacks..

Check Juan's groove in this... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz50iA39L9c&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz50iA39L9c...feature=related[/url]

nearly let this go.. why oh why... Sei 5 string Jazz bass Swamp ash body, Olive wood top, Bartlolini's, U Retro preamp,weighs 8 poundsish....one awsome bass...

the fact that there great instruments is not the issue for me...im sure there great...its the fact that your playing an instrument that hanckers after someone elses tone, look, vibe...ok im prob being harsh...and cynical

i really dont like signature instruments...its just an advertisement ploy..."Play this bass and feel like your Marcus Miller"...Why on earth would you want to sound like someone else...I cant understand it when people say "how do i get this guys tone"...find your own tone!!!..sorry but i find it pathetic when someone wants to BE LIKE, someone.. although erm,... i was tempted by a MM recently...didnt like the thought of it though

ive seen loads of guitarists play the bass like its a guitar...but its a sign of a great musician who can adapt to an instrument, and play it the way it should be played... was at a rehearsal recently, and some guys turned up...the one picked up my jazz and started strumming and tapping....he looked at me like he was expecting me to say..WOW...he just didnt understand the groove at all..

does that mean it belongs to someone famous, and being sold on behalf

7 grand!!!!??? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/prs_gary_grainger_private_stock.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/prs_gary_grainger_private_stock.htm[/url]

Def Parcels2go!!! ive used them loads and they have never let me down...very cheap too..

Erm...im not sure Andy

Just wondered what you guys would have out of these...always interested to hear you guys views..hope Nic doesnt mind me using his pics.. Fender CS 62 Lake Placid Blue Fender CS 62 Shell Pink Fender 64 NOS TTS

Oh..what happened to my thread??

[quote name='Clarky' post='861530' date='Jun 8 2010, 09:37 PM']The Jazz in your original post is awesome looking B5 but NOT with gold hardware. Takes it from a lovely 60s retro thing to pure bling IMHO.[/quote] Im hearing you clarky, but i dont mind bling...tis alot of bling though!!....least its rare...

Yeah ive been thinking this..then i say stop being silly,.its only a color..Even Flea plays a Shell pink 61
