I paid someone on eBay via Bank Transfer a couple of years back and my bank could do nothing about it after I realised id been scammed - whats changed?

please tell me someone from here bought this! ultra mega awesome deal

Good to hear... I love me a bit of the short scale action. Never tried a Mustang tho, are they essentially very much the same as my trusty Musicmaster?

I own one of these and they are amazing. I paid a little bit more for mine but it came with the rather sought after APF-4 footswitch for all the channel tomfoolery that I like... mine didnt come with a Gator either, so I would say DEAL DEAL DEAL! As long as it works... doubt that will hang aroung long

I was on this thread months ago and then forgot about it... how very rude of me. I also forgot to add a pic of my own... doh.... so here it is [attachment=54531:1280fender1.jpg] PS Burrito, that is a lovely collection, all different!

[quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='897272' date='Jul 17 2010, 01:39 PM']That Musicmaster looks great, is the Bronco the Squier version of that ?[/quote] I think Fender originally made the Bronco as a guitar in the 60's... the Bronco bass is pretty much the closest you'll get to it (other than an old Mustang bass, and they tend to be considerbaly pricey-er than Musicmasters.

You can have a look at my Musicmaster here : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14065"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14065[/url] I also have a short scale Gibson LP, that's very very nice indeed but weighs as much as a tank.

If you can get hold of an old Musicmaster that would probably be perfect! Small, easy to play basses. The Epi EB0's ive played are quite heavy IMO, considerably heavier than EB3's.

dont understand the attitude here that he's "not allowed" to own the bass... he bought it. Well done him IMO. rather a fan have it than it be stuck in a dealers. And Jaco is actually one of his heroes... and he's a pretty funky player... and he's friends with the family...?

Update to my rig : DOOM DOOM DOOM 1350w mono bridge DOOM DOOM DOOM

munk : a rather cheese-tastic picture can be seen at [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=42555"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach...st&id=42555[/url] of both weapons :-) (i must remove that picture soon)

[quote name='4000' post='889039' date='Jul 7 2010, 10:21 PM']As with most basses, you need to try a few yourself to find out how you interact with them. For instance I get on great with most Rics and don't get on very well with most Fenders; many find the opposite is the case. Bear in mind individual instruments differ too; I've played some Rics I really haven't liked at all, but my favourite of all the basses I've ever played is my '72 4001.[/quote] Same for me. I feel instantly at home with my '82 4001, but not so totally at home with a P or a J... mebbe cos ive been playing the same bass for 10 years...? Would advise you play one first though a few times as they can be a bit "Marmite" as previously mentioned. (on a second note, how odd that I own both kinds of bass being discussed in the same thread? dont think thats ever happened before!)

Its a decent tune IMO, admittedly not the groovy stuff i got into the band with but its a million miles better than most of the sh*t that pervades the charts these days. I also have met Mr Turner, and Derrick, and Rob at a clinic / Q&A they did in Great Yarmouth (yes really lol) and they were top top guys and I wish them every success. They can certainly play...

ive never even seen/heard of one of these before... combined with the Mesa this must be tone tastic!

The new Bass BM is utterly lovely in every respect. Well built and lots of fun fuzz tones to be had, at a cheapy cheap price.

+1 from me, yep, totally agree. Have one for my 610 and its protected it splendidly, even has a little hole for the towel rail to pop out of so you can move it about nicely.... as below! [attachment=53632:610covered.jpg]

If it sounds anything like my 72' Les Paul it will be very nice indeed, thumping low end and these things are very pretty to look at! £750 sounds a good deal in my book considering what they go for on eBay (about the same, perhaps more)

The SVT610HLF is the finest cab ive ever owned, simples! It does weigh a bit, but dont let that put you off as it does have big sturdy castors, a towel rail for pushing/pulling it, and skid rails on the back. I simply cannot recommend it highly enough, wish id bought one years back - would have saved me a costly cab buying journey! Its ported as well, I have had no problems being heard anywhere... ever... fills a room with bassy goodness. It handles tops beautifully as well and you can tinker with the variable tweeter setting to get what you want coming out of it. :wub: i love it long time, as you might have guessed
