I have been thinking about getting a cheap bass to keep at work to do the same thing. I think this thread has been a great reminder for me to get my butt in gear

Thanks for the invitation Phil, I can't make this weekend due to work commitments. I hope you have a fantastic day I aim to visit in the not too distant future

It seams to vary accross the board as some instruments do it and others don't. I play a TRB 6II which does not have the neck dive issue. As a previous poster mentions , maybe trying some lighter tuners on the bass.

I personally prefer the original finish on fenders. It was very fashionable back in the day to strip em back to a natural finish. I would say that striping the original finish is going to de-value the bass a fair bit especially if the bass was originally a rare colour / model etc.

Man ! They've got a groove going on ! I think that sting gets better each time I hear a new clip of his. He never seams to be afraid to mix up his old songs and try something new , timeless .

Update ------------- I placed my order for two covers on tuesday. I got a TXT message on Wednesday to say they should be with me on Thursday. At 9 am today (Thursday ) I was sent a TXT message to say that the covers will be with me between 12.40 - 1.40 today !!! Fantastic communication and Top, Top service ! When they arrive i will put some pictures up I am very excited

I like the Planet waves as they make great cables at a fair price

There is nothing "right" about that video at all

I also have a MB200 amp and run it with an Epifani UL 110 cab . Its great at home and I also use it for small gigs. Great combination

[quote name='Hoffbass' timestamp='1335806884' post='1636348'] Hi fellow Bchatters, I keep browsing American websites and could cry if i think about getting a bass from there but massive VAT and customs have to put me off all the time when making rough calculations.Even with shipping costs an MTD 535 could be much more cheaper than here for example but all these added costs kill the idea. Has anyone ordered a bass from the US?I'd be happy if you share your experiences with me Cheers [/quote] I would be very interested to see how this pans out as i have been looking into doing the same thina as i am looking for an MTD 535. Thinking out loud , Maybe we could club together to maybe save some shiping costs etc ??

Cool bass in the pics, Looks like yours Jack I loved duck's bass tone on those cd's

It is a shame that there are so many people out there trying to rip people off with dishonest sales.

I wonder I'd it had Been lent up against a radiator or such like , Has the neck twisted ? Not sure from the pickies Madness ..................
