Superb offer Grand Wazoo. Should we not have a loan swop shop forum?

Early JJ Burnel doesn't have a lot of "bass" but I don't think many people would suggest a Precision inherently lacks low end. Have you ever heard the Beatles?[/quote] Did early Stranglers not feature JJ on Hiwatt guitar cabs as they could not afford bass ones?

Great sound.

Bootilicious.

For bass alone, a bit predictable but.... Sheer genius, musicianship and showmanship wrapped into one lovely wee package...

I've said 2.

Both as suits. Learned on a pick but 30s into my first gig I threw it away. Mainly fingers but occasionally the song cries out for a plectrum.

Guy Pratt on today.

Cool looking bass.

[quote name='bassman2790' post='1296623' date='Jul 7 2011, 11:31 PM']This may sound sacrilegious to the fans of the Rickenbacker 4003 (of which there are many I'm sure), but I'm giving serious thought to selling my almost new Midnight Blue 4003. Why? Apart from the fact that the I haven't been able to play it much since the string grooves in the nut have been cut too shallow making playing anywhere below the 5th fret a real finger-aching exercise, I can't say I'm blown away by either the quality or the sound. I've been hankering after one since the 80's and now I've got one, I feel a bit disappointed. It's actually made me appreciate just how good my BB414, which cost one tenth of the price of the Ric, really is. I have some nut files slowly making their way across the Atlantic and I'm sure that once the nut and the action have been sorted, it will play like a dream and I hope I'll be able to rekindle the relationship between us. Watch this space (or rather the Basses For Sale forum )[/quote] World's worst sales pitch..........sorry to hear that. I am currently down to a Yamaha BB414 and it really does just about all I need. The neck is slightly too wide (I'm a J, not a P handed dude) but in a funny way it makes you focus on playing the song a bit better!

Both look cool, what's the problem? You like, you buy. You no like, you no buy.

We have only received one bass so far and are looking forward to another 4 around June time. Chris May has been in for a visit to give us the low down on everything, he seems to have big plans for the range. We've just taken some nice pics of the Contemporary J Series 5 String we have in stock, you can view them [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/merchymusic/sets/72157626467209239/show/"]here[/url]. More info [url="http://www.guitar.co.uk/guitars/bass/3856-overwater_contemporary_j_series_5_string_bass"]here[/url].[/quote] Good shop - I have no connection but the guys in there are great helps.

Just start the songs in the order you want. The band will join in!
