won't be needing the orange then?....

utterly and completely jealous. Nice one.

looks alright, 25 minutes to go, no one bidding http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-V96-5-String-Active-Bass-Guitar-Stingray-replica-/181045819082?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a272bf6ca

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1356199766' post='1907929'] I'm not sure if the JVs were available as a stock fretless, I've owned two with plain ebony boards but both had been customised - so I got them much cheaper. The one that was sold on eBay was a bargain for a JV Jazz even if it was converted. [/quote] Doh!

[color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]hi there, change your add title to include "jv squire" you will get over 500 for it, they are collectable, the jv stands for Japanese vintage and were only made for a few years. basically fender usa parts assembled in Japan, far better than the later usa fenders, if you post you will get even more for it.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]T[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]he above was emailed to the seller and it went for £431.00[/size][/font][/color]

i think for small pubs, LED's are great as they don't fry you or draw much juice. Most of the places we play are pretty cramped (and theres only 3 of us!)

mines in a standard Dell laptop bag, very snugg fit and a shoulder strap so you can carry it in to the gig over your shoulder with your bass in one hand and your cab in the other, less trips to and from the car!

morning. we use something like this which is a little different, i've not seen a band on our circuit use one (yet!) http://www.soundbasemegastore.com/lighting/27912-scanic-oil-projector-120.html we use stands with our LED's, off to the side, or sometimes behind us, sometimes we may have them in front pointing up but it all depends on how much space we have (the biggest problem playing in pubs IMO) My biggest tip however would be to AVOID any sound to light pattern on your lights! This will make you look like a cheesy school disco! We use a slow fade in/out pattern so the colour changes slowly every 30 seconds or so. I also may have one static colour for a particlar song if the mood takes me. I control all this via an MXR foot controller (as well as the PA and playing bass and backing vocals!)

although im flogging my Taylor in another section (!!) I would echo other BC'rs and seriously recommend a second hand Yamaha. For the money, they make the best acoustics by far.

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1355524073' post='1899716'] I'm going to do you a real favour here. Forget the aforementioned options and vist Jon letts website. He currently has an outstanding four string fretless for sale (brand new stock) at an insane £400 including a hard case. If you havent heard of Letts basses then you are missing a trick....every bass is hand built to an exceptional standard. Why opt for mass produced when you can snap up a luthier hand made piece of master craftmanship. Letts fretless basses sound wonderful. [/quote] You did me a favour there! Ive been looking (and bidding) on some squier VM fretless but these look amazing. Has anyone tried/got one? Are the pups beefy enough? Im thinking of saving up some more gig dosh a little longer now.

those are great pics TBH !
