PM'd [quote name='Joshbasscana' post='912631' date='Aug 2 2010, 11:27 AM']Hey guys, I have a 5 string Musicman Bongo HH that Ive had for about 5 years - gift for my 18th birthday. It has a heck of a lot of sentimental value! So letting this go isn't easy. But looking at the circumstances I'm in, I know that fairly soon I need a different kind of bass altogether to support what Im doing in the band I'm in. Im looking at a Duck Dunn P Bass or Fender USA Precision P Bass plus cash. I'm not sure if I'm violating the T + C on this post so apologies in a advance. I've only got pictures of the bass from gigs, so these will have to do for now. Please dont hesitate to get in touch. Many Thanks, Josh (This is the only photo I can find atm) [attachment=55487:gents3.jpg][/quote]

A 'Fender Precision' could be worth anything from £50 to £50,000 depending on what it is, it maybe was a bit daft just to pluck a price out the air for a bass that doesn't belong to you. If it doesn't get used maybe it would be in your churches interest to sell it, if you stuck photos and info on the 'bass guitars' forum then folk on here should be able to give you a rough valuation, then the guys at your church can decide if its worth selling. But don't fret, if you dont sell the ibanez in time and miss this ken smith then another one will turn up. We've all been in the situation where the seeming dream bass comes up and you really want it, but if you don't have the money, you don't have the money. Wait and save. Also if you want a wee bass challenge.... go listen to everything you can find by james jamerson.... incorporate his style in your playing at church.....[/quote] Ken Smith is a great bass for church! I play warwick, but would go for a Ken Smith if I could afford one. Depends on whether you play Kirk Franklin or Hillsong more. jon

thats a shame, i'd be very interested. Jon

where are you in South Yorshire? Jon

This is the best pickup system i have found for bass midi, it outstrips the Roland midi pickup in terms of tracking and latency.. I have tried it with and AXON midi converter and my friend tried it with his VBASS system. in both cases we found it worked better than anything we had tried before.. Both bridge and board are in excellent condition £175 the lot[/quote] Im interested - what else do I need (apart from a MIDI device) to get this to work? Jon
