I was just about to start a slightly different version of this as I feel a Fender P is probably a bit out of my budget. So I hope you don't mind me dropping in on this thread! I was looking at Squiers and the Vintage V4 range as a starting point and was after a few comments - particularly on the Vintage basses as they seem to be similarly spec'd but that bit cheaper? There was a white V4 on evilbay getting no love at all that looked in decent condition (apart from a dodgy sticker) - my favourite hue for a P. For info. I've c. £200 +/- to spend. What are the Squier MIJ basses like? Cheers

Yeah, it looked like one of those too-good-to-be-true items you see on evilbay. I'd never heard of them so was just curious...

Can anybody tell me about this bass please that I happened across on evilbay when I was nosing around for no good reason yesterday?

Just completed the sale of my Spector Legend to Mark. Very good to deal with, excellent communications throughout, a real gent and a pleasure to deal with. I would happily do business again and would heartily recommend him. Alain

Yeah, great live too. I saw them in Southampton in 1980 or possible 1981.

Yes it's a little corner of tranquility in the midst of a sea of mistrust fuelled by an unscrupulous media.

I use an MB500 and would totally endorse what Merton says! It gets carried around in my rucksack.

I use a GK MB500 with a Compact (soon to be Compacts!) - great combo, and I rarely use much EQ and no Contour!

Just ordered the second Compact to go for the Compact/Compact stack. The first one is great, two should be awesome!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1323531026' post='1464280'] My most righteous rig of all now comprises a [b][color=#ff0000]Super 12[/color] + [color=#008000]Compact [/color]+ [color=#0000ff]Midget[/color][/b]. I've had to buy an 1100W power amp to do it justice. Now all I need is that gig at the O2 ... [/quote] It is you causing the recent seismic events?

Has anybody been able to directly compare a Compact/Compact setup against a Compact/Midget setup? I ask as it maybe a decision I'll be making in a few weeks time?

I imagine it could be quite distracting being in Kylie's band!

Just acquired a Compact (using an MB500 amp) and am genuinely stunned by the sound quality. Not sure whether I need a second cab just yet as I've only had one practice with the band. If I think I do I will be considering either doubling up with another Compact (before 23rd December!) or a Midget. Both combinations get very good customer feedback.

For me, as is traditional, in no particular order... Chris Squire Roger Glover Mike Rutherford Geddy Lee Sting This needs compiling!

Saw them at 53 Degrees in Preston last Saturday. Great show, great atmosphere, loved it!
