Alien 3. On in the background while I watch Basschat.

Did they do a Black Bass wah??

May come in Handy....

Just before i start looking at od units, yeah please, i'm in...mine went missing a few years ago.

Loved these when the Polar Audio guy showed it me, only gripe was the Horn being ON or OFF.

But other than that, i was well impressed.

Cheers Jake, a pleaseure to meet you and your buddy.

Sorry I didn't spend more time with you - having one of those days (long story).

I've ended up off work for a few days, so i'm hoping other people have been introduced to them, you never know.


I think the Body colours are brilliant, they've just missed the point on the tint of the necks - something i've already discussed with them.

But they do play great, and sound fantastic, as you said, easily knocks spots of an MIM Jazz.


I'm unsure if any e-mails have come through regarding prices, will check when i'm in tomorrow.

Have it in line after my Radial Big Shot I/O instrument selector box, it has a 'tuner out' on it, but it just means another cable, and it's neater when 'in line'.

I doubt it's even ever met a Fender, let alone started out as one.

It's just some geezer trying to pull a fast one on Mums and Dad's at Xmas.

We should all report it.

It's near me (m27) but after my initial jokiness in the previous thread, I fear i'd end up smashing it over his lying bastard head.

had the full intention of buying this this week.

Circumstance is a bitch, literally in this case.

Bump for a beauty of a bass.

Now you and I, Burnerless, will do bloody battle for a certain Wal..![/quote]


After the week i've had mate, a Wal is unfortunately the last thing on my to do list.

Hope you get the one you want, i'm short by a few hundred on cd_davids '84 mach1.

Andy

I think it looks great.

Going to France...


Sold

If i'm ordering from scratch and Lake Placid Blue or a tasty Blueburst is on offer, i'll choose that option.

If i'm buying used, it's not as important.

My main bass is Burgundy Mist (soft metallic pink).

Bought 3 Cables made by Dave, totally impressed.

Fast shipping too.

Another OBBM Convert!

Thanks!

Hercules are fine on Nitro; String Swing and Stagg ones are not.

These are great basses, how do you knacker up Chrome Covers - Coke In a tub?

Wet'n'Dry a thumbrest...

Winner!

I thought about naming my 2nd born Bean...

Coat...

I assume this is MIJ?

Does it come with the chrome covers?

Andy

The bottom one is beautiful...as are the other two, but I really like that stain.

Fender did a Jaguar Baritone a few years back, and on the Fender Japan site it was called the 'Bottom Master'.

then i'd end up with 3 fretless' haha

[quote name='Darkstrike' post='1034635' date='Nov 24 2010, 12:30 AM']Very very cool!

The 4 knob setup is a bonus too in the fact that it makes it easy to upgrade to an Audere Jazz Plate with a passive tone, or a J-Retro Deluxe.[/quote]


That was my thinking, or just having what i'd call a 'Les Paul' arrangement is just more versatile.

Like I'd suggested earlier on, a good passive bass will sound great through a nice outboard preamp too if you want active sounds, whereas sorting a bad active bass is usually a tougher proposition.

'overhaul' - Thats the same 700/705 they've done for a few years. Nice Instrument in many ways.

The guitars have just been redisigned with James Tyler, now being the James Tyler Variax.

Funily enough, JT has started producing basses again in his own line...So maybe it's on the cards?

[quote name='mart' post='1034398' date='Nov 23 2010, 08:40 PM']I think you've sold me on the satin one, but I'm sure most punters would go for the gloss - so if you're actually looking for a product that sells, then I think it would have to be gloss. But I'd love to be proved wrong!

Both look absolutely stunning, I should say![/quote]


Gloss looks best to me, Satin Feels better...both sound ace.

I think the Satin looks more modern.

I'm not sure which I prefer, YET.
