Kicked off Yamaha Attitude Facebook page for daring to mention Fender. Where the Hell do they think the origins of Sheehans Attitude basses come from. Come back John Hall, all is forgiven

If you've got nowt pleasant to say about my new girl bugger off

Chances are if it's not properly packed the courier will refuse to take it. If it was me I would contact the buyer and tell them sorry I damaged it moving it, no longer for sale. Then I would wait a week and put it on Gumtree and Preloved at £60 local collection only. To be honest, the buyer has been a bit naughty and dis- respectful putting you in this position. Oh, forgot to mention, I've been waiting for a courier delivering from SoundsLive. Been here since 7am and still no sign. So much for "it will be with you on Friday" Yeah, thanks Martin

I put it down to thinking now, hormones then . Yup, age thing.

Aha, 12stringbassist = Kerbcrawlers, noted

Yeah, for me the most important part of any bass is the neck (and the looks, I'm a tart ) as I think most modern amplification can make any bass sound pretty damn good. We'll see what the neck's like.

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1338458690' post='1674788'] Here we go, 2 pages worth. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/177444-fender-p-bass-special-fsr-seafoam-green-in-merchant-city-music/"]http://basschat.co.u...ant-city-music/[/url] [/quote] Knew there would be a thread somehere, obviously wrong search criteria. Or maybe I'm just dim and old Quite a bit of hostility, hope I like it and don't need to sell it

Covers band bassist says nowt shocker . Hah, done some of that there recording stuff, all about the song, the team, the geezer calling the shots. If creative is asked for be creative. Then back to the Dog and Duck on Saturday being grateful people actually still listen and dance (and occasional boobies flash ) at my age.

Yup, MIM, cheaper by far than the road worn Mexicans though. Mixed reviews on Talkbass, but some of the SE Mexicans are considered to be very well made now (Reggie Hamilton for example). Fact is new prices have risen dramatically from most places in the last 18 months, VAT increase, fuel price rises all affecting every stage of the process. One superb Japanese 75 jazz re-issue would have cost about £1000 to bring in 2 years ago, now it's almost £1300. American Fenders have probably been affected slightly less price wise than most. They are really good value now, imo. Agree with you about the woofer but guess plenty of tone options with active. Biggest advantage over the Yamaha are the neck dimensions, the Attitudes are really wide and a struggle for me. Apparently only 150 of this run are coming to EUROPE! That scratchplate will be getting changed foor brown tortie if I keep it. Haven't bought a brand new bass for 11 years, kinda excited really. Karl.

Link should be to Fender Active Deluxe Precision sea foam green fsr, possibly the longest named bass on the planet. If Koernig...................made basses eh . Cant figure out how to get the photos up but link should work. Can't see any comments on here, but there are 3 pages and growing on Talkbass. Mine arrives on Friday (I'm such a Sheehan wannabe tart) so watch the sale section next Wednesday . http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Fender_Deluxe_Precision_Bass_Special_Sea_Foam_Metallic/FEN-014-0038-349

Sadly not, I did it the hard way, but to be really honest there aren't that many passages in it. Good luck and enjoy.

Welcome. Enjoy. Brace yourself for the GAS . Karl.

Welcome Bideford. I learn a bloody site quicker at 54 than I did at 16 . Enjoy it here. Bet within a year you are out doing your first gig (but with some hits on the bank account ). Enjoy, and never be afraid to ask, Karl.
