    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1390380482' post='2344606'] I've tried loads, cheap & dear but I always go back to my Precision. Looking for another as a backup. Even with small hands it just works for me. Simple person, simple bass. [/quote] +1 I started with a Jap P and it served me well for years, moved on to usa p then went down the road of trying all sorts EBMM first a usa sub then 'rays fretted and fretless, sandbergs etc.only one jazz for a very short time (went back to dolphin cos the strap pin fell out!) years of knob twiddling and never being happy with my sound -too boomy, not clear enough, not cutting through etc etc Ive just come full circle and am back with a nate mendel. love it a P serves me and my band the best. already gassing for a roadworn P but must admit I still fancy giving a jazz a proper run out (probalby before deciding i prefer a p bass! my current set up is p bass, OTB 500 amp and an ashdown LB212 cab all parts bomb proof and literally plug and play

    I have a badass 2 on my nate mendel and its very good although I would have preferred the version with several pre cut grooves in the saddles. The Badass 3 has through body sringing option and precut grooves so would do you fine. bit hard to get hold of at the moment but there wa one on ebay yesterday Bri

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1389810228' post='2338182'] That thing's built like a tank, it's no doubt had some rough nights and has probably outlived several of its owners. I reckon it's probably scared a Strat or two in its time also and growls every time a keyboard player even looks at it. The odd p****d punter invading the stage isn't going to worry it in the least All joking aside, some old basses just look built to last, that's one of them [/quote] [quote name='Jebo1' timestamp='1389818078' post='2338339'] Basses are built to be played. My 66 Fender has cigarette burns, a stain from a pint glass and a bite mark! Buy it, play it, love it (and get insurance!) [/quote] you guys are just making it worse!

    as an update I sold the P (boo!) cos I was really digging playing my fretless ray. ive since moved that on and reignited my p bass love with a nate mendel sig. its great through my orange terror bass and is ideal for rock & punky numbers. Im now thinking of another P with flats. My amp set up at the time wasn't doing it justice but I realise the error of my ways. you jus can beat a good old P bass!

    Im thinking of buying a jv at the min. But its a solid finish. Were they all definitely alder. My jap silver series was basswood. Good as it was at the time if im shelling out I want the real deal in body woods. Any way to tell before you buy?

    I'm not even after a ray and it wouldnt be my ideal colour choice but am tempted. Come on peoples that's a stonking bass at a great price buy buy buy!

    Mine was original sunburst with black plate as well. The colour and finish are great on these early MM basses....damn want my old one back glwts

    I used a 4 stringer fretless ray as my main gigging bass for about 18 months and it was the business. Really fancy trying a sterling but too short of cash at the min, bump for good looking bass
