  1. Yes there were a number of enhancements - the neck, high mass bridge, tuners etc. I have a 2010 Amer Std Jazz. Superb instrument that is versatile and enjoyable to play with great tone.
  2. [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]For sale is a 2008/9 Fender American Standard Precision Bass [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]** Price dropped to £725 ** Please note that this does not include delivery **[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The bass is in excellent condition. There are some light scratches on the pickguard and there is a tiny mark on the end of the headstock but this is almost unnoticable - see photo. The [/size][/font][/color][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]guitar has had very little use. I bought it shortly after getting my Amer Std Jazz but I just prefer the sound of the Jazz and it has been my 'go to' bass for everything since buying it.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Olympic white with tort shell pickguard (although have a black pg from WD Music if the successful buyer would prefer) and rosewood neck, with a lovely grain. As the guitar has aged the colour has taken on a creamy colour and looks very authentic.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Not only does it look the part but it also plays like a dream, with a lovely satin neck. When I bought it, it had been set up by a professional luthier and the action was quite low. I have since adjusted it, to suit my own style of playing, mainly with a pic. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Selling as it just doesn't get enough use and too expensive to be a house guitar. [/size][/font][/color][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The current retail on these in most cases is over £1150 so this is an opportunity to grab a fantastic guitar at a decent price.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Comes with SKB hard case and all the case candy (Fender strap, cloth, case key etc) which has been unused.[/size][/font][/color][/color] [font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][color=#666666][size=3]Would prefer cash as I have my eye on another bass but open to trades as well, particularly 2013 Amer Std Jazz or Mike Dirnt Road Worn P bass. [/size][/color][/font][color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]If you need any more info, please ask.[/size][/font][/color] Should add that any BC members who live in N.Ireland are welcome to come and try it out.

  3. A road worn Fender of some description or heavy relic
  4. Anyone ever played one of these? [url="http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/p/SCH1858/bass-guitars/schecter/schecter-model-t-bass-butterscotch"]http://www.nevadamus...ss-butterscotch[/url] Seem like a great bass too & great value for money.
  5. That's great, probably something similar then to the Amer Std I'm selling then.
  6. That's the one I'm looking at Lozz.
  7. That's cool Billy. Any other observations to seal the deal? Maybe you nip over tomorrow & give it a work out for me - would be much appreciated!
  8. Cheers theyellowcar for the response. Any chance you could tell me something about the weight in comparison to other P basses you've played? Can't seem to find a guide weight on the RW anywhere. Thanks.
  9. Anyone have one of these?
  10. Nice bass. Just have a question about the pickups. I have read on another forum about these being fairly low output and not cutting through in a live setting. Have you found this yourself?
  11. [b]+++++++++++Guitar now sold pending payment++++++++++++[/b]
  12. Bump Any serious interest, please pm me as I have this up for sale elsewhere now. Thanks.
  13. Well, the ray is just sitting here waiting for you Send me a pm if you are interested and want to discuss
  14. I bought it last week. Changed the tort for black as I wanted a change from my oly/tort AS jazz. Gigged it for the first last Saturday through my Ampeg rig (V4BH + 6x10 cab) going through a Tech 21 VT pedal and it sounded huge! BTW its actually a 2008 according to number on headstock not 2010, although it may have been bought then.
  15. Northern Ireland. Now fitted with brand new Rotosound rounds.

SR has been gigged only a couple of times and while there are the usual minor scratches on the pick guard, it is in otherwise fantastic condition. Has rarely been out of the case. Reluctantly come to the decision that it has to go. So, now looking for a good home. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=3]For sale at £1099.

  17. I have been using the 4B with 410 HLF for a about a year now but I am just not getting a great sound from it, particularly on the E string, no matter how I EQ it. I play a US Std Jazz which goes through a VT Bass pedal which I use as a pre-amp because I just can't get the power out the guitar & amp alone. The low notes tend to 'honk' a lot for want of a better description. Before this I had been using an Ampeg SVT200T which is a 350W solid state amp. Although it couldn't handle the volume without clipping I play at, I just preferred the tone. Having looked around a bit I really like the sound of the Bass Terror here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-rN4glWmTs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-rN4glWmTs[/url]. Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas - am I mad considering the change or how could I try to get a better sound? I haven't been able to try the BT out for myself since there are no Orange dealers here in NI but I know some forum members have a similar set up. Thanks in advance.
  18. [quote name='Bigwan' post='882576' date='Jun 30 2010, 11:16 PM']I wasn't overly impressed with the AG500SC that I owned. It was ok, but I went back to my trusty Ashdowns without a second thought (don't believe everything you hear about them!), although I'm considering moving one of my Ashdowns on for something more lightweight (Markbass LMII/III, Orange BT500 or Ibanez Promethean). Will always have one about though. I agree that Aggie make great cabs. My GS112 is a fantastic cab![/quote] Bigwan - coukd you elaborate on why you weren;t ovely impressed with the amp. I've also been considering the Ampeg SVT 7Pro & the Orange Bass Terror. Ant thoughts/experience on those two?
  19. [quote name='JTUK' post='882054' date='Jun 30 2010, 03:36 PM']I would have put Aguilar in the studio users market myself...but that would be a long time ago. They are a completely different company now. Go to their website and look at the artists page.. I use their cabs and I think they make some of the best around. I'll use them for everything but I am not a metal player by any means. If I guessed..I would say their niche is aimed at Ampeg, vintage type users from the comsmetic side of things but they do the soul/RnB element as well. Musicman20 will be along soon..he will deffo know, IMO.[/quote] - Lol - pretty new to these boards but I know what you mean! I do like Ampeg but just want something with more power than my current SVT200T. Good SS amp but just not giving me the poke I need playing live.
  20. [quote name='Kaiu' post='882005' date='Jun 30 2010, 02:58 PM']Hey, I am thinking along the same lines. I currently use an Ampeg SVT 2 Pro and an 8x10 but I need to sell up as I'm moving to London. I went to the gallery and am now torn between the Aguilar AG500sc and a Gallien Krueger 1001RB-II. I'm primarily into rock music but I intend to play a wide range of covers. Personally I preferred the Aguilar but I was worried about how it would cope/sound in a rock band. Glad to hear it works in that setting! If I ever need more dirt I do have a couple of Sansamps. Ed[/quote] I was going to use my VT pedal for any drive that I need & that's why I had opted against the dual channel Aggie. Been using my mate's Ampeg V4BH at the last couple of gigs with the VT & sounds great - unfortunately he's not selling! BTW, what is Aguilar's normal market? Is it not normally rock?
  21. Thanks for the replies. Both are very encouraging. I love Justin Meldal-Johnson's sounds with NIN (if you have seen their recent live DVD you'll know what I mea).Unfortunately nowhere does them here in N Ireland but gonna ring a couple of dealers & see what they can do them for on appro basis.
  22. Looking to replace my Ampeg SVT200T and have read great things about Ag gear. Was looking at the AG500SC to go with my Ampeg 410 HLF cab and Amer Std Jazz. Any basschatters have one of these & what do you think of it? I want something that gives me a big clean sound, rather than grit or dirt, for classic & modern rock stuff like KoL, Killers, Green Day etc. Thanks in advance.
  23. [quote name='Musicman20' post='878875' date='Jun 27 2010, 03:00 PM']The Bass Terror is damn loud. If you like your tone quite dirty its even louder because of the gain. I very much imagine it will sound huge through that cabinet.[/quote] Thanks for the feedback - just another question, what are Aguilar amps like? Been looking at the Ag500SC but can't find any sound clips & I don't know of any dealers here in N.Ireland who stock them. Thinking of selling my Stingray to fund the right amp. Great guitar but just prefer my Jazz when playing live.
