Yeah I think I shall do that. Those jm5's are just amazing.

Guess who is on sandberg commission? Lol. They do look amazing and I would have one at a drop of a hat but money is tight. love the look of the jm.

Another option I could Persue is adding the j pickup into my own bass rather than selling it. I'm not Arsed about losing value as if I can do what I want it to, i don't think I would ever sell it.

I like the sound of the hs! Never had a go of one of them. Will have a look into it. What's the going rate for a second hand one?

Don't get me wrong, I do love my ray, I just think I want to get more than just ray sound out of it at the moment. Might have some tweaks around with eq n stuff.

Yo yo! Recently I have really been tempted by a change of bass from my trusty ray. I have used this for the last 6 years but recently I have found myself wanting a more versatile bass and also wanting to drop down to a 4 string. I love the fenders and have owned a jazz bass before and loved it's tone. The p deluxe seems to tick all the boxes for me with the range of sounds it can do. I love the model with the humbucker at the bridge. I ain't been able to play one because they are impossible to find!! What I want to do is find someone who has one that wants a trade for mine as I have no cash. Does anyone have any experience with these basses? Do you think it's a clever move? Just some advice would be appreciated.

i'd have one of these [url="http://www.huort-ch.com/lang_eng/en_stage_std.htm#t1"]Atelkof Stage Deluxe / Lite[/url] Jazz/Precision/Stingray IN 1 BASS!!!! mint

i used to have a VBA400, was amazing. pure and simple!! loud as you like and did what you would expect any valve amp to do! Only reason i chopped it in is because of the rather pricy cost of re valving the beast and i got offered a straight swap for my Trace V4 mmmmmmm. Would have one again in a heartbeat if i needed that power again.

i used to have the 212xlt and it was the clearest deepest sounding cab i have heard. was amazing. Only reason i got rid was because i wanted to go back to 10's again. would buy one again in a heartbeat if i wanted 12's. heave heard a few of the 410's and they are also just as incredible sounding.

my lord that would seriously move some air. I got to play though a VBA of a mate's of mine through 1 of the 412's and that was more than enough and sounded incredible. I used to run my old VBA through a Trace 8x10 and that was just stupidly loud. SOUNDS LIKE FUN!!!! do it.

a hello from a fellow staffordshire bloke. have fun around here mate.

hey dude, as you can see by my pic and signature, i play a Ray5 and i dont play slap or anything like that as i play hard heavy metal stuff and also with a pick. I also had a MIJ Jazz Bass for a while but it just didnt cut through the band like my musicman does. I guess in a similar way a Ric would also cut through due it its tone. I think my Ray is way more versatile than the Jazz was, but for my style of music. Its a tough world finding that right tone to match something else you own so my advice is to try and borrow one of both and give it a blast in a live situation so you can find the right sound for you and also blends well when changing from your Ric to the other one.

Have a look at the Tech 21 Bass Deluxe pedal. Its rather expencive but it does EVERYTHING!!!! I was gonna get one of these to even out the difference between my Stingray and my Jazz, but in the end just sold the Jazz!

diggin the sofa pattern mate i quite like that vandalized J, very punk!
