[quote name='basshead56' post='722445' date='Jan 23 2010, 06:55 PM']As a matter of interest, is the one you are thinking of buying new or second hand? what kind of figure do they want for it?[/quote] £349...the only downside is the lack of oomf noted above and the mass of the said object.

[quote name='Zoe_BillySheehan' post='722278' date='Jan 23 2010, 04:13 PM']oh man... im in love. If it wasn't for the 340 mile journey it would take to get to Paisley, I'd have it.. Zo x[/quote] Cheers Zoe - it is distinctive and the band laughed at me at first but I'm well pleased with it's sound and looks. If anyone could tell me how to post a bass without a case... -
Cheers guys! Seen the BA115 and am tempted too.

Sniffing around one but not sure - anyone had experience of them? Blurb: If you're looking for vintage Ampeg sex appeal with modern functionality, the B-100R should put a smile on your face. The B-100R "Rocket Bass" combo amp combines the look, sound and tone of the original Portaflex with the outstanding reliability of contemporary, solid-state design. The 100-Watt B-100R drives a vintage 15" speaker and features four bands of EQ, plus Ultra Low, Mid, and High switches for custom-tailoring your sound. Featuring the same warm tone and easy to use controls as its vintage counterpart, the B-100R is rugged, lightweight and maintenance-free. Vintage Tone and Styling 15" Speaker 100-Watts RMS [b]Ultra-portable*[/b] RMS Power Output: 100-Watts Speakers: 1 x 15" Tone Controls: 4-Band Mid Tone Control: Ultra Mid Line Out: Unbalanced Line In: Yes Headphone Output: Yes Dimensions (W x H x D inches): 19 x 21 x 14 [b]Weight: 65 Pounds*[/b]

Help: Annoying background noise from new Phil Jones Combo

[quote name='MIJ-VI' post='721866' date='Jan 23 2010, 04:41 AM']Update?[/quote] There's an easy way to find out - try it with another one, side-by-side in the shop. Glad it got sorted. -
Beautiful - really like the maple one - maybe if I sell! Best of luck! -
Hi guys! Squier P-Bass Special for sale. Price = £120 The case in the pictures is [u]not for sale[/u] at this price as I would probably prefer to keep it for my next purchase. I have tried my best to find another purple one online but I can't. As far as I can tell it is the original colour but I am willing to bow to an expert! I am tempted to mention imagine playing live with a big purple beast in your hands but that would be juvenile. Bought off a careful lady owner. She gigged a lot but luckily that was just on the fiddle (as in violin, not 'cash in hand' type of fiddle) and she never learned the bass. This means it has sat in a hardcase for about 6 years. Looks like a 1999 version made in Indonesia (SNIC99....). I have gigged it twice and it has a good P-bass growl, J-bass meow and appropriate blend when required. I am trying to trade up but would also be happy to keep it to have it as a starter or second bass. [u]Are There Any Issues?[/u] Buying 2nd hand I always like a truthful description, so here goes... I have looked very carefully at the bass from every angle and there are no major dings or scratches. There is the tiniest fleck of purple paint missing (about 2mm) at where the neck meets the lower body. I have never noticed it before I gave it the old once over today. There a few - almost imperceptible - marks/non-penetrating scratches on but nothing deep or obvious on the back of the body. I could not describe the marks as being buckle rash unless whoever owned it first wore a rubber snake belt. When the tone pot is rolled right back near where 'zero' would be, there was a small crackle that disappeared when WD40 was sprayed on. If I was keeping it long term, I'd open her up and give it a better clean. In summary, on ebay, this would be described as a 10 year old bass in very good condition. Location, location, location - Paisley Not sure if I have the expertise to post unless someone fills me in on the tricks of the trade so I would prefer a pick up or meet.

[quote name='OldGit' post='719355' date='Jan 20 2010, 05:58 PM']Woah! that was weird. Thought Crazykiwi had reverted to his old Avatar for sec then .. There's plenty of variation on the neck width of p basses. Even the early ones came in A, B or C profile with A being relatively slim and C being being flat and wide. About 42mm at the nut..[/quote] Or... [url="http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0135760359"]http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0135760359[/url] For bassists who dig today’s active lifestyle, Fender offers the stylish and thunderous Deluxe Series Active P Bass Special guitar. This huge-sounding hybrid model features an alder body adorned with a single-ply beveled gold vinyl pickguard and a maple Jazz Bass guitar neck (modern C shape) with a 20-fret, 9.5”-radius rosewood or maple fingerboard. On board are a standard alnico split single-coil Precision Bass pickup (middle) and a dual-coil ceramic Noiseless™ Jazz Bass pickup with nickel-plated pole pieces (bridge) with pan-pot switching. Controls are master volume, pan, and three-band active EQ with treble boost/cut (+/- 10 db at 8kHz, a shift in the cut frequency, and about a 2dB slope per octave), mid boost/cut (+10dB, -15dB at 500Hz, and a wide band slope) and bass boost/cut (+/- 12db at 40Hz, with a 4dB slope per octave). Other features include chrome hardware, American Vintage Precision Bass bridge, side-mounted jack and deluxe gig bag. Truly an amazing instrument.

[quote name='mansfield' post='719103' date='Jan 20 2010, 03:14 PM']Just thought I'd say I've looked into courier-ing it and am happy to. Should cost £20-25ish.[/quote] A bit dull looking is it not? :brow:

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='717474' date='Jan 19 2010, 08:33 AM']I always wanted a P with a J neck, but they always seemed to do versions the other way around.[/quote] Mark Hoppus has a jazz body with a P-bass neck but Duff McKagen: Based on the instrument he has used ever since the first GNR album, the Duff McKagan Signature model is a distinctive, sleek and full-sounding reissue of the '80s-era Jazz Bass® Special, which combined a Precision Bass® body with a Jazz Bass neck and a set of Precision and Jazz Bass pickups. That's all here, with a Pearl White finish, gloss-black neck and headstock, TBX circuit (treble/bass cut), black hardware and custom skull-engraved neck plate. There is no other Fender bass in the line right now with this look, feel or sound.

Comments?

Don't think it would be out of order to name the type of bass. That being said, a lot of shops mention they personally set up every guitar....

Cooler .....

Merchant City in Glasgow are also distributors and will order one.
