Still hoping to get one as soon as possible but I need a new laptop first (and looking to buy a MacBook Pro isn't going to leave me with a lot free )

[quote name='thedonutman' post='569026' date='Aug 14 2009, 02:01 PM']Is it me or does this song have crazy amounts of low end? It might just be my speakers/Youtube's audio compression but it sounds a lot bassier than I remember.[/quote] YouTube always has a boost effect on the bass, but to be fair, in the intro/chorus he's riding the low D's and C's.

Very nice for the money. Nice feel to them, nice sound, slap switch is great. Get one!

AV4+1 would be ideal as that's what I'm after can't seem to find anything other than the specs around the net.

[quote name='ped' post='557745' date='Aug 1 2009, 01:05 PM']That looks gorgeous... rarely do I see a take on the Jazz shape which 'works'. Tasty.[/quote] I agree! They also have it in a sunburst too. Can't decide between them. They have the same colours for the 4 string (AV4) and also a lovely white with a black pickguard. I just wish they did the 5 string in it.

A played a Vintage Stringray copy the first ever time I played bass. And my first guitar was also a Vintage. I've had two Vintage basses, and will have my third asap.

Looking through the Vintage range, I have infact decided that my next bass will be the Vintage AV4+1:

I've always (bar one) bought all my stuff online. I don't particularly spend a lot anyway, and I'm one to agree that half an hour in a shop is enough to know if you'll be comfortable with the bass. I never keep basses for long and usually go for budget basses so I'm willing to take the risk. As a plus, I've never been very uncomfortable with a bass, i.e. I can pick up most and just play. It of course takes me a while to get fully "comfortable" with the bass, but never had a problem ever with initial feel. Maybe it's because I've never had a bass set-up/played a set up bass. *gets coat*.

[quote name='Kev' post='553067' date='Jul 27 2009, 07:19 PM']whilst it may seem better value to go for the spector, consider with vintage you are getting the whole bass for the money, whereas with the spector your paying for the bass and the brand [/quote] I agree, but I wonder how the B string is on the Vintage. I know it's very nice on the Spector, and the Ibanez SR506 I've also got my eye on is supposed to be quite a nice B string too.

Is this the B-206? Tempted it by it.

I'm really gassing for the V1005SP (spalted maple top 5 string): It looks so nice, but seems to be in most shops for around £429+, and considering I could get a Spector Legend 6 for around £489, I'm unsure whether or not to buy it over the Legend.

Another +1 from me A Wilhelm Scream. Mainly from the "Career Suicide" album. Brian Robinson writes some really interesting lines! Great tone, also!

Couple of shots I like Chris Aiken of Strung Out Brian Robinson of A Wilhelm Scream Sneaky one of me I like

How long have they been selling the Deluxe Jazz in 4 string version? I've had the 5 and loved it, and seem to recall a few past posts with people wishing for a 4 string version...

[quote name='danlea' post='518476' date='Jun 19 2009, 03:32 PM']...the insides of my left first finger and thumb were part shredded, presumably by poor workmanship on the frets/neck. Perhaps this one was just a dud, but I thought I'd mention it as it should never have gotten past QC.[/quote] I had a similar issue with the 5 string active version, wasn't a lot, nor did the frets feel rough or sticking, but there must have been something sticking out slightly as I ended up with small cuts all over the inside of my fingers, looked like paper cuts.

I wouldn't reccomend the 5 string Stingray copy from personal experience, try to get an OLP, one of the HH models if you can (MM32 is the 5 string).

I can vouch for the Spector Legend 5 (even though I've just sold mine). Great sound, great feel, dream to play. The tone really cuts through everything and the sound from the B string was lovely (I think in part due to the 35" scale). Try one out.

Another big +1 from me for Brian Robinson in A Wilhelm Scream, seen them live twice, spoke to him outside the venue both times, really nice guy, absolutely tight player. If you haven't got their album "Career Suicide", get it, they're awesome musicians, and listening to the bass throughout just wants to make me weep with shame. Really fitting fills, harmonising with the guitars or just off doing his solo in "Jaws 3, People 0" Yea, they're my favourite band!

My first bass was a 5 string Dynabass, I seem to recall spending £200 on it.

Congrats mate. Sold my all black one to NJE (on here), I miss it. May buy an all white one if I ever get the urge to have one again.
