    I've found an old clip of me using this bass at a gig - There are some more gigs with me playing it on youtube, but in this one you can see it more clearly...

    Hello! I have for sale a beautiful example of a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass. [attachment=12858:Front_1.jpg] I have owned this bass from new - I bought it Dec 2006 from Sound Control, Salford. The spec for the guitar from the Squier website can be seen here - [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0326702521"]http://www.squierguitars.com/products/sear...rtno=0326702521[/url] Its a great sounding bass which I've used for plenty of gigs - see pictures on my web site [url="http://www.barefeet-band.co.uk/"]http://www.barefeet-band.co.uk/[/url] However I have always used a case and so the guitar is 'dink' free. There are very faint surface scratches on back, but these are too small to photograph. [attachment=12859:Back_1.jpg] [attachment=12860:Body_1.jpg] The reason I am selling is because I bought a Fender Precision around Dec 2007 and I just find I'm personally happier with a Precision rather than a Jazz sound. Since I bought the P Bass, this has just been on top of my wardrobe not being used. (in a gig bag!). The bridge has been upgraded with a 'Badass II' and there are 'Schaller' strap locks fitted. The bridge was professionally fitted by 'Matt Ryan Guitar Repairs' [url="http://www.guitarrepairer.com/"]http://www.guitarrepairer.com/[/url] He filed the saddles and then completely set up the guitar. A gig bag, original bridge, Fender guitar strap, plectrums, the fitted Schaller strap locks, a pair of 'grolsch' strap locks and a set of used rotosound 0.45's will be supplied with the guitar. [attachment=12863:Straplock_1.jpg] [attachment=12861:Bridge.jpg] [attachment=12862:fender_strap.jpg] [attachment=12864:Headstock_1.jpg] I'm not looking to post, but will be willing to meet up around the North West motorway system for cash on collection. ***I would like £180 with the badass, or £160 without the badass and the original bridge refitted*** [u][b]***I HAVE DROPPED THE PRICE!!! IT IS NOW £150 WITH THE BADASS AND ALL THE EXTRAS!!!!****[/b] [/u] Cheers Ian

    Never change the strings....unless its breaks...changes the whole mojo of the set up...might as well sell the guitar overwise...!

    I've had a gator for over 2 years with absolutely no probs

    Never took two basses, but i'm glad a had a spare lead once - At the Hard Rock Cafe, Manchaester, the drummer 'fell' over my amp as he was getting out from his kit and bent the plug into my amp. It wasn't until about half way through the second set and then the bass started cutting out. i'm there frantically trying to twiddle knobs to get some sound back....nightmare! in the end i just changed the lead and its been fine since. The drummer has since stood on the guitarists new forty quid elixir cable and bent it. Its not failed mid gig yet.... The guitarist always takes a spare guitar tho....

    I don't think I've ever seen a photograph of any band, with the bass strap connected to the head....

    [quote name='clauster' post='237204' date='Jul 11 2008, 11:53 AM']Huge [size=7]+1[/size] for "Oh Brother..."[/quote] Just been out on me dinner hour and bought this from the local 2nd hand CD shop..... (In Rochdale, 'Rocks Off'...good shop for a rummage on a rainy dinner time). A credit crunching Three Pounds Fifty!...it had better be good! I did see a tune off it on TOTP2 on Dave a few months back....the tune with G Clooney, and thought it was good then. Not the sort of stuff I'd normally like, but I looked up the compilation on Wikipedia before I went, and saw it was produced by T Bone Burnett... Who I saw on Jools Holland with R Plant & A Klauss..... And i liked that 'real gone' tune. Went looking for their CD, but they didn't have it....

    I've never had a blister from playing bass / guitar, and i've never broke a string when actually playing...

    I've been using one the 'posh' (expensive) dedicated bass cables from fender...the type with woven flex. Nice solid chrome conectors. Had it approx 12 months, no probs. I compared it against a generic guitar lead with my fender bassamn 100 practice amp and it does definately alter the tone - more bass. The local rock radio station has been advertising the new elixir cables...has anybody tried these?

Then its only costing everyone the price of an envelope and stamp. s_u_y_ has kindly offered to post on the surplus which I sent him. Hopefully the next people will keep it going..... Ian

    [quote name='shaundixon666' post='203920' date='May 21 2008, 09:58 PM']Heres a question then, where do you get these swing top bottles from? As most of the supermarkets round me don't seem to do them anymore. Only place I can get them from is Fenwicks and they only usually have the massive bottles.[/quote] I've never seen them in a shop...I get them from a 'Lees Brewery' pub I go in on a Wed for a quiz night. If you've ever had the pleasure of drinking Lees Bitter & Lagers then you'll see why I go for the bottles. 250mls sized bottles at roughly the same price as a pint of premium lager.

    Hey Check out my new web site, produced by the mrs, www.barefeet-band.co.uk, [url="http://www.freewebs.com/barefeet-band/"]http://www.freewebs.com/barefeet-band/[/url], which includes some videos of the band...'waste of a good bass'.....not bad for a new user name!

    don't believe the hype about which bass is superior to another...I've played an affinty at loads of gigs...including Manchester Hard Rock Cafe...the only time i got complimented on my bass tone from a member of the audience, is from when i used my affinity straight through the bands PA..... Obviously as long as its set up OK it will be fine....its a bass for f*** sake....nobody in the audience cares/knows what it sounds like.

    One of the first ever basslines I noticed was from 'Candyman' - were he slides up to the octive.

    I think tucking in a curly lead has gotta be a disaster visually. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcTW1-znxeQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcTW1-znxeQ[/url] Check out youtube, jimi hendrix live a the marquee, rare 2nd take of Hey Joe. At approx 2.05 you can clearly see Noel has a 'White!' curly lead tucked up behind his strap. I can only just forgive him 'cause of his dedication to the afro. This is the earlest I remember ever seeing anyone do it....can any one beat it?
