I have one, and it works fine for my telecaster at home, but a bass didn't seem too secure on it.

Nice one Dood, I've used Planet Waves cables, and always found them to be excellent.

P.s.: yes unfortunately the pickup does need changing on these unless you can put up with a dull sound, I compared it's sound against another Squier with a Lollar in it and it was just two words apart, as I said in a previous post, it's thin, does not give you any definition in the low, you might as well get the E and A strings off as they sound very bland, like elastic bands on a stick.[/quote]

Thats fair enough - I always liked the sound from the SD SCPB's, and at around 50 quid, if that's all I need to pay out, then great.

Cheers for the pitures and mini review style post....it all helps to make a decision.

I seriously can't play like I used to, due to health issues - but that doesn't stop me.....

Currently at 5 basses and two guitars, all pretty much cheaper stuff - nothing over £500 - and I have my eye on a couple of others.

I have often been told that it is a waste of money in my situation. But lets face it, at the very least they are decoration - and how many people speed twice this on a vase - I enjoy playing them when I can, and I know they will go to a good home when I shuffle off this mortal coil - my two kids are already arguing over who is going to get what

I've always loved the '51 style P bass, ever since I first picked up this, 36/37 years ago:

I still have that one.

I didn't have the cash available to get one of the Fender RI's.....

......but I am now due a 25 years long service award at work, and the amount that they give out these days would means that it would only cost me the price of a replacement pickup (if it needs it).


Hmmmm! tempting.

Thanks for that Clarky - really enjoyed it.

Anyone who is undecided whether to get this or not - go on and treat your musical tastebuds.

PM'd re: a CD.

deleted nearly all mine - mainly old post from when I joined - I know it was only about 15 Mb, but every little helps.

nope! I already have one in natural, and I love it.

There was a guy on here looking for one of these recently - "Aerodyne Precision" is his username - not sure whether he is still looking - it may be worth shooting off a PM to him.

Just listened to some more of your stuff on MySpace and YouTube - really like it. Mrs. A loves the promo video - who was the director? She has just commented that she would like to see some of their other work (I guess she's a bit "arty" as well).

I love the whole Baron Samedi and his Zombie musicians thing you have going on there.

Brilliant.....

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
Well, well - the midlands contingent seems to be increasing.

Looks like a great night nigel - some great photos there.

I have singled this one out because Mrs A. reckons you shoud have kept the Warwick and sold her the hat instead.

Oh dear god.

That is......is.......is.....

I actually can't think of the right words to express how nice I think that bass is....

Subteranian Brain - Yes!!!
Great work guys.

Edit to say : The link above takes you to the wrong place - click on the Wall tab and scroll down a little - embedded players for the three tracks

I actually tried both of these back to back, when helping Mrs A's son to decide what he wanted.

The Washburn was OK as it happens, reasonably well made, quite comfortable and sounded OK for the price.

The Ibanez was by far the best of the two though. The overall fit and finish was better, the electrics were superior and the neck was really rather nice.

I also tried one of the GSR180's at the same time. To play, it was exactly the sames as the 200, although the sound did seem to lack any real depth - Saying that, my son used a 180 for over a year and was perfectly happy with it.

Then there is the Yamaha RBX270 - excellent electrics - I found the sound much better that the Ibanez, but not as nice to play.

I know that the above probably won't help much, and the mention of two other models might have muddied the water a bit, but these were my experiences. At the end of the day - you really should get out and try the ones you are particularly interested in, because only you will know what is right for you.

If I had to choose one of the two that you mention - it would have to be the ibanez - purely due to the playability of it - I always believe that the one thing most likely to put people of playing, is an instrument that doesn't feel "right" in their hands.
Tone/sound can always be changed - but the feel/fit of the thing can't.

Hope some of that helps you in your quest.

Good grief - not only does it look gorgeous, but it sounds incredible.

You really have piut together a fabulous intrument, I'm well chuffed for you.
