    this bass is in as brand new conditon,no marks or dings anywhere it truly is a minter. i bought it earlier this year but haven't played it much,despite it being a very nice P bass indeed,as i've been playing double bass in the main. these really are nice basses,almost as good as the MIA models i think & this particular one is very very nice. i've set it up very nicely & it still has its "as new" original strings fitted. there is truly no wear or marks anywhere on this bass. it comes with a mint hiscox hard case & the Fender deluxe gigbag it came in. price is £450.00 (they are £620.00 new without a hard case) sorry no trades as i've just bought a new bass i would prefer you to collect but can meet you reasonably close to Harrogate if that helps (postage maybee a possibility if i can source a decent box--no promises though) cheers p.s. will post some photo's once i get home from work

    [quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1349633948' post='1828533'] No he didn't, what a load of bollocks. He probably made a quick exit, stage left, after he spotted some judgemental mouth breather looking at him with a look of disgust on his face. The kind of repellent, arrogant fool who likes to hang round guitar shops on a Saturday afternoon. [/quote] LOL, well said that man

    [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1348668324' post='1816687'] Double bass everytime. If you go for an EUB, you will still want a double bass. If you get a double bass, you won't want an EUB. [/quote] + 1 very true,i bought an EUB first of then a propper DB very shortly after,wouldn't look at an EUB now (no offence to EUB players btw)

    don't try setting the neck relief until you replace the E string.

    hi Keith it may be worth asking Bob Mason he had one of these that he was selling recently.

    [quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1348580531' post='1815466'] If you can play root and fifth in all it's permutations, still serve the song, and keep it interesting then you are worthy of some of the best bass playing jobs on earth... If you can't then I would suggest that your quest to play other notes is a little early. Be f***ing awesome with root and fifth before you decide to move on... (I am being deadly serious) [/quote] damn right that man

    i bought one of these this January [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_kontrabass_1_e_blueburst.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...e_blueburst.htm[/url] & couldn't be happier with it,i certainly don't want or need anything better. everyone who's played it has liked it too & it sounds rather good too. as mentioned above steer clear of the Gear4music basses they are bloody awful.

    [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1348067356' post='1808810'] Yeah, I know it would be useful, don't know anyone near me, and not sure if i can take it. Never had a lesson in my life on anything , and am happily self taught otherwise. [/quote] same here,taught myself to play bass guitar 33 years ago & now teaching myself double bass. welcome to the upright side

    i bought my MIM Fender 50's Precision online & couldn't be more pleased with it,it is just as good as any MIA or MIJ Fenders i've owned (which is a lot i hasten to add)

    [quote name='timbass' timestamp='1347827517' post='1805577'] I don't know if my limited experience might help you - see my post here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/185503-ehrlund-eap-where-to-buy/page__view__findpost__p__1805565"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__1805565[/url] [/quote] hi,thanks for the info' but i am already sorted now with high density foam f-hole covers & double sound posts feedback is pretty much a thing of the past now

    [quote name='zero9' timestamp='1346940678' post='1795097'] Those 'Superiors' look great. Will try those myself when the current Roto's need changing. I presume they're similar to the Roto RS4000 D & G? [/quote] I've not used the Roto's before so I can't comment on that,sorry but over on doublebasschat they reckon they are a copy of the old Lambert deluxe's which seem to be raved about over there. but the Superiors are indeed very good strings,i love them to bits & cheap as chips too they give a much nicer click than the innovations did,i always thought the inno's sounded very "plastic" where as these have a real old school "gut" sound to them.
  22. artisan
    the Superior's come in a set of six strings so you can pick the gauge you want & the ones i fitted are the same gauge as the Innovation super silvers i was previously using. mind the super silvers were a lot bigger than the stock steels that came on my bass,it's nothing a good man with a needle file can't sort out.

    i'm using these [url="http://www.freewebstore.org/superiorbassworks/Superior_Bassworks_Deluxe_Strings_Dirty_Gut/p693784_6219678.aspx"]http://www.freewebstore.org/superiorbassworks/Superior_Bassworks_Deluxe_Strings_Dirty_Gut/p693784_6219678.aspx[/url] love 'em to bits,real old school sound & mega easy to slap too.
