I find my MG ZS takes it perfectly if I drop down the back seats and have the headstock slightly over my handbrake. I have also got it in my wife's VW Fox with the passenger seat reclined back fully coming in from the boot. It's just a case of being persistant and looking at a problem logically. Bizarrely my singers old upright bassist used to go around London on the tube with his on the shoulder straps which is impressive to say the least!

There was a thread yesterday with someone advertising for a 2x10 around this price range if you check the Items Wanted section. (assuming the initial interest doesn't work out) -
I gigged my Jazz for the first time in 10yrs last night and I used my hercules folding stand. No problems, I just offset the body slightly to the right and it stood (or is it sat?) on the stand quite comfortably before and after the show. Mine is the small folding one that doesn't support the neck in any way.

First gig of the year for me & a gig of firsts. First gig on a Jazz bass in a decade! My first gig with the Orange Terror rig, it sounded good. Oh & I got recognised yet again for a guest slot playing mandolin with my old band a year ago. Result!

I do like that redwood finish

I've dealt with Watford Valves a couple of times & they are bang on the money

I think I'm the only bassist I know who didn't like the HWY1's but they did have a better choice of colours too

Awesome cabs... so have a bump on me. I appreciate the OP mentioned weight but they aren't that bad. I've actually flightcased mine!

[quote name='KK Jale' post='1079376' date='Jan 6 2011, 12:20 AM']A most excellent combo if I may say so. Caught a great gig yonks ago at the Sunday CDAMTF country bash in London and once again at the 12 Bar (acoustic). Picked up a copy of 'Tunes For Charlie Spencer'... it forms part of my pedal steel practice backing track list, which is a compliment, honest...[/quote] Thanks for that. If you practice along with the Charlie Spencer album we should get you to sit in on some songs next time we play London

[quote name='cameltoe' post='1079252' date='Jan 5 2011, 10:12 PM']Tonight I filed a paypal claim to try and get my money back.[/quote] He settled on the last day of the claim with me which I took to be him playing the system. A shame as he offers a good product when he can get his act together

It just pushes a thread back up to the top of a list and reminds people the item is still there in the hope of a sale

OK I'm not a left handed player so I'll come clean and say these belong to my singer. I can vouch for him or I wouldn't attempt a listing. He's just bought a Gibson Hummingbird so decided to have a bit of a clear out of a couple of his acoustics. First up is a Tokai J200. I gather it's about 7yrs old and cost around the £400 new at the time. No pick up but it does come with a fitted hard case. Collected price [b]£180 [/b]or add [b]£20 [/b]for Parcel Force 24 delivery UK mainland only. [s]Secondly is his Epiphone Hummingbird. I was with him when he bought this in Dawsons Reading a couple of years ago. He's since had a nice Dean Markley pickup fitted (plug in through the strap button, no EQ but no sound colouration either) which cost £100. And again it comes with a fitted hard case. He's looking for [b]£180 [/b]collected or add [b]£20 [/b]for Parcel Force 24 delivery UK mainland only. Epiphone don't do a left handed model so this was professionally reconfigured at Sticks & Strings in Thatcham. It's a great strummer for the money IMHO. [/s] We're both in West Berkshire but Pete works in West London so I suspect there would be some flexibility there if someone was keen. Oh & we're live in Bristol next Thursday (13th) if that helps anyone? I appreciate being left handed they will be of limited appeal to most but should hold some real interest to those that are looking for a decent budget acoustic that is left strung. PM me if interested, I am on this site far too often so will always get back to you the same day.

My Dad was a Jazz drummer in the 60s and likes Art Blakey's stuff a lot. He was always trying to get me to listen to the bass. I'm sure he loves having a dumb rock n roller for a son! It all sounds very impressive to me these days, whilst not strictly being "my bag". RIP

[quote name='algmusic' post='1079166' date='Jan 5 2011, 09:02 PM']I wonder what the MD of Ampeg or Aguilar look and sound like then. Still I guess they usually don't play them[/quote] Worringly similar with that annoying bonus of thinking they are a bit rock 'n' roll because although they are MD's. they run music companies.

Fender 60th Anniversary Precision confirmed!

What a let down. -
It also depends on the gear you use. When we recorded our album last summer I was pleasantly surprised by my bass playing in isolation but at last night's rehearsal using an old Laney head through a cheap 4x10 it sounded awful. Thankfully the singer's guitar sounded even worse but it really was a wreck!

[quote name='deej' post='1078739' date='Jan 5 2011, 04:17 PM']I take it he's a guitar player trying to play bass?[/quote] That was my immediate thought.

Welcome to Basschat Love the picture, I've always fancied one of the pink paisley P-basses. I had a blue flower one that I eventually sold on that played beautifully.

[quote name='gareth' post='1078036' date='Jan 4 2011, 10:44 PM']God ........... I love Neil Young and wish I could be in an NY covers band. I like the track - difficult to say too much about the musos, etc as the recording is not that great, but what stands out to me is how good the vocals and harmonies are - absolutely spot on - well done [/quote] Plus one to [b]all[/b] of that [quote name='bigjohn' post='1077927' date='Jan 4 2011, 09:30 PM']after a few beers, after not too many rehearsals![/quote] The way it should be
