you want the middle column. each has a description/tempo & key listings and last a good 3 or 4 minutes each.

most of the guitar seems to have blues chord progressions whatever the style but still good to jam along with

Hi 'dub_junkie',

I'm a newbie on the site and just found your link to the Blues backing tracks for Bass players. Great, beats the hell out of competing with the bass on a CD while putting in some practice at home and allows me to try new stuff against guitar and drums instead of a 'metronome' (tapping my foot I mean) .

Thanks for that

PS. Just burn them onto a CD then play along using TASCAM CD-BT, also allows me to change the key +/- 6 semitones either way from the original recording key - handy.

Thank you all for the comments and info / history on this bass , I only bought it because it sounded great and the guys at the Bass Centre just let me get on with trying it through several amp's - no pressure applied.

Nice to know that you guys are happy with the price and the bass. I'll give it week before sticking it on ebay, I just hope it goes to a home where it'll get taken out and giged.

Thanks again all...........

IIRC they had a lightweight body (possibly basswood), a 1-pce maple neck and a nice wenge fingerboard. Electronics were Bart single coils, with volume, pan and stacked bass/treble cut/boost, with a 3-position mid switch common to most Tobias-designed basses. The Hipshot bridge is a nice touch, too.
They originally came in black and pilsner (think the colour of lager) - black was much nicer. Not dissimilar to a cheaper version of the modern MTD. In any case, a superb bass with tons of growl for very silly money.

I just knew I was on a winner when I joined this site . I think it’s really great that members, like yourself, will lend a hand to us newbies . I’m not sure about this BUMP thing though; what’s that all about? The last time someone gave me a BUMP I lost my no claims .

Thanks very much for your input, I really do appreciate it. God knows what I’m going to do when I advertise the Cort C4P - it’s got pizza in the bridge and I’m dammed if I know if it’s got anchovies on it .

I bought this Bass three years ago from the Bass Centre. I was looking for an active Bass that would give me a whole pallet of sounds and tones to chose from - I found it! I’ve only ever used it at home, it never even got to a rehearsal, it’s in immaculate condition and plays really well. I also have a Cort C4P that I favor but even that has got to go “why? ” I hear you ask. Well I’ve finally decided that I’m going down the Fender route and have my eye on a Fender Jazz - Medium :wub: , you can guess the rest - thats right, I’ve got to get the money together. I’ll see how / if this sale happens here first, if it’s a no go I’ll give it a go on the dreaded ‘ebay :ph34r: ’.

So I have the Bass Centre ‘Stadium’ (Bartolini p/u's, 3 position p/u selection switch, gain, tone and 2 x volume. virtually no fret ware and 'very very' minor paint blemishes) up for sale, together with a flight case thats built like a brick one. I’m asking for £250, includes the comfort strap and case. The case - I doubt you could buy a case like it now, 'hand built' by 5-Star Cases Ltd, Sutton Ely, Cambridge.

[i][color="#008080"][size=4]EDIT: 16/01/2010 - Seeing as I've had loads of interest in this Bass, and lots of very positive comments from those that know these things, but no offers; how about a Swap for a Fender Precision Lyte? I'm sure one or two of you chaps have one lurking in a dark corner. I'd be happy to do a direct swap for a 'good nik' one.[/size][/color][/i] [color="#0000FF"][size=4]Please feel free to send a PM with some pic's [/size][/color]

Have a look at the images below, if you would like to ask me any questions you can fire me an email: [email="timcorbett101"hotmail.com"]MY EMAIL[/email] I’ll try my best to answer any queries, I’m not sure how to answer on Basschat but I’ll also give that a go. I would much prefer to have the Bass picked up from me (Borehamwood - Hertfordshire) or arrange a meet, I wouldn’t be interested in sending it overseas or far flung places - yes I’m a lazy SOB. I’d hope that any prospective buyer would want to get their hand on, and see the Bass before parting with any cash, I know I would, your welcome to come on down .

Thanks for looking...[attachment=40822:DSCF0138.jpg]...[attachment=40825:DSCF0137.jpg]...[attachment=40823:DSCF

Thanks for your input Chaps, appreciated .

I'll email Malcom and see where it goes.

While I'm on - Has anyone out there tried / played a 'Medium Scale J/B'? Just thought I'd ask the question.......

I/m not sure how this Bump thing works but "Bump Bump Bump" anyway.

I’ve spotted a Medium Scale JB that I’m interested in buying on the following web site [topic="0"]http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/[/topic] , I couldn’t find a physical address for them on the site – that worries me a tad as I would have liked to do the touchy feely thing before making a purchase.

Question for all you Basschat pro’s. Has anyone out there used this site to buy anything and did it go well? I’d really appreciate a bit of feedback before I do something stupid and part with the ‘hard earned’.

If it all goes pear shaped PLEASE contact me. I'm not a million miles away from you (Borehamwood) and have the cash.

Anyone else reading this who has a Lyte for sale - PLEASE contact me, I'm desperate - reason: I play a Cort C4P, and ain't the biggest Bass Player on the block. I need a bass that's more in proportion with my slight, vertically challenged frame. Thanks Guys........
