    Got into hair metal at 14 and wanted to play guitar. My music teacher at the time picked up on this and gave me a stupid oversized pink thing with only 4 strings to play in class. I thought it was some kind of joke & went back to playing my big bro's 'lead' guitar here & there. Then at 15 I got big into old KISS & the first time I saw Gene Simmons on video I immediately wanted to play what he was playing, whatever it was. So I went and got a bass & it turned out it was one of those big dopey things...joined a band, realised I loved being the link between drums & everything else & still thumping 25 odd years on. Moved on a bit from KISS basslines since mind

    There was me coming on here to start a thread about how I've just realised I love my VM P V & there's all this going on! Bought mine new about a year ago and whilst I was impressed with the quality, I wasn't really feeling the P love up against my Jazz. Did a set up, played it a bit, swapped the bridge out after a grub screw went on the B saddle (had a Badass lying around forever so perfect excuse). Played it not much more, tried to flog it on a few times but always decided to keep it in the end. So this week my J is in for a setup & I'm stuck with just the P. Wow. Having been forced to play it I've come to love it immediately. It really cuts through in the mix with very little tweaking and sounds very classic P with the stock pup. It's immensely playable once you get stuck in & the B sounds & feels really solid. Plus it's light I was thinking of upgrading the pup but I don't think I will based on what I'm reading. I probably will look at having the laqcuer taken off the neck at some point tho, it's really thick & too glossy for me. Anyone gassing for these, go for it! Loads of great bass for the price [sharedmedia=core:attachments:155120]

    Started doing this with my band a couple of weeks ago. Straight drums, bass, keys & voice with guitar coming in on the chorus in the funk rhythm style. Goes down a treat! I've pretty much copped the synth line throughout, it shouldn't be too taxing for intermediate players & above. Meanwhile, over on Youtube... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=clean+bandit+rather+be+bass+cover Some scorching stuff there!

    You're probably right mate, never having played a Geddy I'm just going on what I've read here. Still lovely & thin tho

    Withdrew this a couple of months ago due to lack of interest just post Xmas. But she's not getting the love she deserves with me (5 stringer) so here goes again. More open to trades now, particularly for equivalent value five strings or a decent combo or something elese I've not thought of yet - what ya got?? This is a fantastic guitar with loads of tone options & stunning looks, the pics do not do the metallic finish justice. 9V active electronics & P/J config covers all Fender sounds. High mass bridge, 70s Jazz neck. Limited edition factory special run, only 250 produced of which 150 made it to Europe. All original case candy, tools, & Fender gig bag included. Also included is the stock white scratchplate - I had the black one custom made in the states for the best part of £100 including P+P - if only I'd have known about the Bass Doc then :/ Mint condition apart from light buckle rash & pickguard scratches, I'm the original owner & it's been gigged twice & played lightly in my studio. Recently had pro set up & strung with new D'Addario Nickels. Plays like butter. Weight is around 9lbs. This really is a wonderful guitar for Precision lovers fancying something a bit different & not quite unique but not very far off.

    Ah the Carlsbro 150 combo. I'm stuck with one cluttering up my studio right now. Picked it up off a guy from ebay who described it as perfect condition, got it home & the thing crackles like a b@st@rd even on 1. Can't shift it even for peanuts but can't bring myself to dump it cos it cost me £30! Cursed >

    Ah you know you want to. With the boost switch kicked in too

    I had the same problem with a Blowtorch before. The light would only dim ever so slightly when off. The problem was caused by accidentally running it off a 9V power supply one time, could this be the problem? That said I didn't notice any tone suck.

    Last price drop before she goes on Evilbay. Don't make me do it friends
  20. roceci
    Last price drop £250. That's the shop price & you get a Badass II fitted instead of the shonky stock bridge!
