Hi All, I have just bought a 2nd hand Cort artisan ( C4 ) off ebay ( seems to be a pattern in this section ) i am happy with it, however when i plugged it in to the amp it isn't as loud as my biginner cheapo base. I have changed the battery as It was dead on me due to me not knowing to take the lead out when not in use ! I have checked the wires all seem ok. it has mighty mite pick ups which i have also checked the wires. has any one got any ideas ? thanks Jynxter !

I am glad you asked this stupid question TBUS. as i bought a 2nd hand bass a month ago and the guy was as clue less as me when it come to the ins and out. I had had it a couple of days and picked it up to play it and it was dead, i checked the amp plug in and all that nothing so i took the back off and there was the battery. swapped it ,away we went again. So 2 things I can thank you for, 1 I now know its an active bass and 2 not to leave the lead plugged in. Cheers for that. Jynxter

Thanks John I will come and have a listen then. Cheers Jynxter

cheers Beers...... spellin woz neva me strong pynt. thanks for the link though....Jynxter

Hi Gents as a newbee to the site and the bass, i was wondering if anyone had a jargan buster list. A breakdown of bass terminology so us learners can be down with the kids and not so kids of the site. Just a thought ....... and as it happens I cant think of a bloody thing as an example !!!!! I suppose someone is also going to tell me i have not looked far enough through this section as its already been done Ha found one a few rows down Double thumbing what is that.... Jynxter

hi Dave Just had a look at the vids, as a i have just started playing these are great for me, please keep them coming, as its a real boost when you learn to play a tune. Jynxter

i have just heard from the guy and it does say Squier by fender on the headstock. Jynxter

Ok The one i have seen just says squier jazz bass ? jynxter

hi There just a quick question are Fender squire jazz basses and squire jazz basses the one and the same ? Jynxter

Thanks Rayman for your help I have had a look at Fernades thanks for the link. Jynxter

Cheers for that, I'm not mad then ? I am lovin it !!! jynxter

I feel educated already and only on the forum a day or so Thanks Gents..... Although I do feel a fender would be a good buy I am not 100% keen on the look of them... Has anyone got any comments about the Cort or yam. jynxter

Ok so why are they called Jazz , is it just quality

Thnks guys can I just ask as I am still leaning - is a fender jazz not then just for playing jazz ? Jynxter

Hi All I have only been playing since Jan this year on a basic starter kit, I have upgraded my amp ( hartke 60w ) and am now looking to upgrade my bass. Just to put some perspective on this question I am never expecting to be evan a very good player; hoping at best to be average. i will be playing rock / metal kind of stuff eventually.. I have been looking and liked the feel of a Cort C4 ( i think that was the model ) and a Yamaha 270, could you give me some advice on these basses and some possible advice on other options. Just to add i will have a budget of around £300. Thanks Jynxter

Hi all just thought i would say hi, n give a little intro. After reading some of the intro's it has suddenly dawned on me that i know even less if not nothing about playing a bass. The reason for picking one up and starting to learn is; a mate thought it would be a great idea to play some tunes (metal /rock ) at his 40th b/day bash, which is now booked for Oct 2010. So i decided becuase I have always wanted to learn to play the Bass ( but never did ) this would be the perfect time to start (44yrs young). So I have been getting to grips with the bass since Dec this year on a basic set up, have had some lessons, (need some more) and Jammin. I am looking forward to using this forum to pick your brains on as many things bass related as I can, so please dont mock the questions .....as I truly know nothing ! But I am loving the learning Cheers ! Jynxter
