    As said above, quality of Fender Basses can vary hugely, I've played my '73 Jazz (which is lovely) and also played a friends '73 (which has a couple of dead spots on neck and is a pig to play), so IME the thing to do is to definitely try before parting with cash. Interestingly, my '73 weighs in a tad under 8lbs and my mates tips the scales in excess of 8.5lbs? The Mexican Roadworn Jazz is sublime to play - I know there's lots of folk who don't like the whole Roadworn thing, but there's also a lot of love for them around these here parts. New they're a bit pricey but buy one used and you've got a whole lot of bass for very little money. I own a Roadworn Jazz and also own two CIJ Jazzes (Geddy & '62RI), a Custom Shop Jazz, a '92 Jazz Plus V, a '95 Standard USA Jazz, a '74 Vintage Reissue Jazz, a '73 Jazz & a '68 Precision.

    Fuzzrocious Dark Driving would achieve this nicely I reckon. Shameless plug: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227792-mahoosive-clearout/

    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi All,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]As my fund raiser continues - here's a selection of pedals that are currently surplus to requirements and therefore now up for sale. Not really looking for any trades as this is a strict fund raising exercise, however, if anyone has a Wren & Cuff TFR, Aguilar TLC or Subdecay Proteus, Prometheus or Quasar DLX they wanted to tempt me with I could well be up for it! Never say never and all that!

    Bumpage Rack has been withdrawn for now - thinking I'll keep as a back-up to DB750. Cabs to go.

    Bump, I'd forgotten about this - this is still available - trying to raise some funds for Aguilar DB Cabs.

    I've successfully used a PJB Briefcase for semi-acoustic gigs and have also used the same for one small venue we play (all electric regular gig), but DI'd into the PA and fed back through monitors. I think there were a fair few people at last years South West Bass Bash that were suitably impressed by the sheer volume/quality of sound it can deliver. It also makes a perfect home practice amp.

    [quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1389987553' post='2340366'] Have used the Markbass traveler series cabs for years with the Markbass F500 amp (very Similar to the F1) and this is a killer combination with loads of juice on tap. Bump for a powerful, portable and ultra reliable rig [/quote] Cheers Dude! It is indeed an awesome rig! Plenty of poke on tap and super reliable

    Time for an update: Top of the list for this is alhbass - he pm'd me at 09.52 this morning, second on the list is matybigfro, I'll keep the thread updated as the situation progresses, currently I'm negotiating a trade of my MarkBass cabs in which case this will (most likely) be withdrawn. Thanks all for your patience and understanding.

    Hi All, [s]Another feeler[/s], I've decided I'm definitely moving on my Barefaced Super 12T. The only reason being is that I've acquired (by trade) a pair of Aguilar DB112 cabs which match my Aguilar DB750 perfectly and am seriously pleased with them and I'm on a bit of a fund raising mission for another purchase. I purchased this from Shockwave in December, it's in great condition and I'm looking to get what I paid for it which was £625 firm, I also have purchased a Roqsolid cover for it - brand new £45. I'd prefer buyer collects, I'm located 8 miles south of Marlborough, Wiltshire, but would consider posting at the buyers risk/expense. Alternatively, I would be happy to meet up within a reasonable distance for the cost of fuel. At this moment in time alhbass has first refusal on this as he was the first to pm me when I posted as a feeler - I'm just waiting on a response and will update the thread accordingly. Here's a link to the original thread/pics, hopefully Rob doesn't mind : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218016-sold-barefaced-super-12t/page__p__2301701__hl__super%2012t__fromsearch__1#entry2301701"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2301701[/url] Cheers, Pete

    It's an interesting point you raise, I'll sit on the fence and say (in my case) a bit of both! Clearly I can only speak from my experience, I think it useful to have some natural "timing" with regards to listening to the feel/rhythm of music but conversely, with time and effort spent practicing I believe you can definitely develop your skills as a musician. I was quite lucky that my right hand technique was very easy for me to develop/quite natural - the left hand was a tad trickier and indeed I'm still working on! Seriously, I've been playing in bands/gigging for around 24 years or so and still love learning new stuff and challenging myself to work hard at achieving the right result - the only regret I have is not learning how to read music - I play totally by ear and feel - learning to read is on my to do list for 2014, it's good to have objectives and goals. Edited for typo

    [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1389820205' post='2338371'] I'm kind of in both camps. ... you can spot a guitar player playing bass, we usually pick lines automatically without thinking. Try coming up with an original line that fits a song without using one of the above. It's hard. Well, it is for me [/quote] +1 I've been depping for a band over Christmas & New Year and both guitarists mentioned the very same about my playing - the previous three "bass players" they used all migrated from guitar and would kinda emulate what the guitarist was doing and that it all sounded a bit disjointed, rather than play what they considered to be a more natural bass line, locking in with the drums as Lozz said.

    It really depends on what level of postage/shipping the seller has used, I've had pedals arrive in 4 days before now but conversely I've had some pedals take nigh on 4 full weeks to arrive. Generally speaking, unless the seller has specifically marked the goods as a gift, you will have to pay a proportion of duty/VAT on the goods. Hope this helps!
