With my fretless I aim for somewhere between David J and Glen Campling, just because both of them nailed a variety of fretless tones that I really like. With my other bass there's too many influences to narrow it to one or two.

I keep falling asleep after 5 seconds - is the rest any better...?

Nice bass...

This isn't anything to do with the Tron remake is it...?

MIJ ones are definitely a cheaper - and very nicely built - option. Solidly put together too, if mine's anything to go by after all the abuse it'd been put through by the previous owner

Nice! Shame it's a short scale tho'...

Perhaps Wizard could magic up something for you...?

Loweringthetone very kindly sent me a Pyramid flatwound E-string, for free. I've had no luck buying one from Pyramid themselves so this saved me having to stash the remaining strings and buy a whole new set. Everything was packaged up nicely and arrived within a few days of him initially sending me a PM. Nice!

That Commodore's a short-scale? Doesn't look as such from the photos - maybe just my eyes are weird Anyway, I like the dials and the switch and those chunky looking pickups

Crown Of Storms is the most tasteful use of bass tapping ever committed to record.[/quote] Quite a few 'new' bands have been around for a while. And his style is constantly changing - good enough for me

[quote name='Simmo' post='1024992' date='Nov 15 2010, 06:45 PM']Yeah i have already thought about this, the exchange rate and the charges i will get to actually get it in the country are very off putting [/quote] You can still get SX basses in the England, with the Fender-style headstock - [url="http://www.hartnollguitars.co.uk/products.asp?id=4644"]try here...[/url]

Brian Gibson, from Lightning Bolt. Can't think of another two off the top of my head.

Call me weird (just not all at once) but I actually quite like that Commodore. In terms of design anyway...

[quote name='silddx' post='1024337' date='Nov 15 2010, 10:03 AM']Affinitys are a bit lower budget, go for a CVJ or a JMV, they are much higher build and component standard and they will hold their value much better. Another thought is to go for the VM Jag, it's basically a Jazz with a P neck pickup anyway and will look much different to the standard Jazz style. Something to think about. I'd love one, in white of course [url="http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0327900506"]http://www.squierguitars.com/products/sear...rtno=0327900506[/url][/quote] Aren't all of those outside Simmo's budget?

+1 for Squiers. An Affinity or a Standard Jazz from them is well worth the money!

You can get a Squier Affinity series bass for under £150 new.

Is a high action so much of a sin then?

If it's of any use, I had a similar thread recently on the same subject - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=109197"]here[/url] - it may answer some questions.

Yes - I've only just noticed that too. Damn! Oh well

There's probably more than 3, but for starters: David J Glenn Campling Dave Sardy
