Came across this t'other day, awesome tone (looks like a JO) and great example of a less is more groove [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlValXM1kc8&feature=PlayList&p=5BEED3BB659AEF71&index=1"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlValXM1kc8...F71&index=1[/url]

[quote name='jmccabe' post='605614' date='Sep 22 2009, 02:25 PM']And also his Ovation Magnum. Phenomenally ugly instrument, sounded great in his hands though![/quote] Didn't Jah Wobble play one too back in the day? Now there's a player…

+1 for Adamson (Play such a great live album) and Howlett (beneath the Gong silliness was an awesome rhythm section of him and Pierre Moerlen) I've always like Derek Forbes stuff on the early Simple Minds albums, when they were quite experimental …and Jim Smith of Cardiacs

Traded amp > bass with Andy. Smooth deal, nice guy, good coffee, recommended

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='594709' date='Sep 10 2009, 01:20 PM']My recollection is Karn is completely untrained and doesn't know what he is doing, he just does it. Or was that just 'anti-establishment' posturing? Who care? He pushed the envelope and that is always a good thing. I'll read it. And he had great taste in basses [/quote] +1. Class player, never really got the props

[quote name='Wooks' post='594404' date='Sep 9 2009, 11:49 PM']Boy that looks like it was WELL worth the wait!! 'grats my man!![/quote] +1 veh nice indeed!

[quote name='fatboytoo' post='583302' date='Aug 28 2009, 10:28 AM']How's about a 44-02? Got a DJ, JO and 44-02. A/Bd 44-94 and 44-02 and had a very hard time justifying the price difference between them. Tone/sound and general fit and finish was so close, confident I'd made the right choice of a 44-02 and saved myself enough for a decent Japanese JB too... Love the JO and the DJ (both Skylines BTW) and both have their place, but ultimately the 44-02 is that bit more versatile and it's the one I'd go for if the house was on fire! Regards Rich Edit! - ultimately, try before you buy (if you can!)[/quote] thanks for that. How do the necks compare on 4402 and dj?

interesting, I read this before I bought my CIJ. stand corrected [url="http://www.gear-review.co.uk/reviews/jb62_77/index.html"]http://www.gear-review.co.uk/reviews/jb62_77/index.html[/url] [quote name='BB2000' post='584182' date='Aug 28 2009, 11:44 PM']That's nonsense, there's no difference between MIJ and CIJ. Recent instruments are all marked CIJ, prior to that they were all marked MIJ.[/quote]

to confuse matters further it's worth making the distinction between CIJ - made for the domestic market to a very high standard, and MIJ - made for export and regarded as lesser quality, some are basswood etc. having said that many MIJ's are cracking instruments. it's such an intangible thing: try before you buy innit [quote name='arabassist' post='584127' date='Aug 28 2009, 10:42 PM']It seems the classic vibes are a pretty excellent model for their price - i am loving the neck. lol what exactly do ya mean by skanky? im sorry but...PHWWOOAAR [url="http://www.fender.com/products/prod_images/basses/0254505506_xl.jpg"]http://www.fender.com/products/prod_images...54505506_xl.jpg[/url] I assume MIK is made in korea? never heard of that Is Jazz 24 the only one with 24 fret?
