    When i looked at fretless basses recently i found that the ones with an ebony fingerboard were far superiour than those with maple or ebonal necks. The ebonal neck on the squier i thought was particually naff sounding. I would assume your budget isnt quite enough but the Warwick fretlesses are amazing if you saved up.

    When can i buy one? Iv got around £300 because thats how much i suspect they will be but the shipping date on thomann keeps being pushed back and there arnt any UK sites with them on. Does anyone know anything?

    Thats very strange, i played the same model at PMT Birmingham and it was by a long shot the best jazz bass i have ever played. When a crap and heavey 76 jazz costs £1700 and an origional pre cbs jazz bass costs £5k+, i thought the custom shop was amazing value and the one i played was exceptionaly well made. Just makes you realise you always need to try it before you buy, because no two basses will be the same

    Fender Custom shop manufacture a classic 5 string jazz bass but their over £1500 so i don't know what he hopes to achieve by 99p ...... Personaly i think it looks a heap of junk

    [quote name='Bassulike66' post='891045' date='Jul 10 2010, 08:21 AM']Dr Stringfellow Lem-oil on the rosewood fretboard of my Spector (apparently Lem-oil should only be used on rosewood).[/quote] woops cheers guys iv been using that for about a year on my stingray is gun oil the best thing for a maple neck?
  10. OliverBlackman
    Gibson guitar polish for the finished bodies, beeswax for the warwick body and lemon oil for the maple necks

    Hi, im desperate to learn double bass as i love the sound and idea of playing one. However, im yet to buy one as at the minute their too expensive and iv always been fearful of playing one for the first time in a shop. Is there anyone on here near Guildford or central london that teaches begginner students? cheers, ollie
  13. OliverBlackman
    cheers guys, the music union one does work without being a member and seems the best but iv got much roaming to do i think
  14. OliverBlackman
    Does anyone know of any free websites where covers and function bands would advertise for bass players?
  15. OliverBlackman
    Best non vintage or custom shop fender jazz IMO, id have it over US 75 RI ...... jus need to get one before they ruin it!

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='886564' date='Jul 5 2010, 06:45 PM']I don't know about that - I work very hard indeed to make sure I'm always utterly uncool [/quote] By rules i learnt from the simpsons saying that makes you cool, im sorry OutToPlayJazz you cannot win

    I really liked it, standard pop song which feels very relaxing and natural on the ear. I think this fits in with modern times more than their old 90's and naughties stuff. Only thing is with crap like "GayLS" in the charts how can any decent band fit in anymore. Still i liked it and im sure the new album will have lots of different styles to suit everyone. It was interesting that at Hard rock calling 60% of the set was old 90's songs, maybe a sign.

    Its a good point about trying them out first, do you know of any good string shops that stock cheaper DB's? in England
  21. OliverBlackman
    Iv decided its time to start learning the double bass so for that i feel i need one. And iv been looking around and iv found i can get something like a second hand stentor or zeller DB for around £400-500. Or i can save up a bit and get a slightly older German DB for between £1000-1200. Is it really going to benefit me as a begginner to go for the German ones? Also are there any cheep DB's i should avoid? Cheers, Ollie

    With my bands in the past weve done synchronised busted jumps... try to get the band involevd and tell them if bassists are doing it its definately cool and not just showing off

    [quote name='silddx' post='885960' date='Jul 5 2010, 12:10 AM']They're all joining up to take advantage of the amazing deals in the For Sale threads I reckon [/quote] Actually true plus u guys are very cool

    Back to the title of shortage of bass players. I had never been around more than 2 until i came to ACM and we were all finding it a bit strange to be in a room of 12 or so bassists, compared to the stupid amount of bad guitarists that there are. Maybe more serious musicians do head towards bass and drums

    [quote name='Wil' post='882899' date='Jul 1 2010, 12:36 PM']That vid is great! Is that a modulus?[/quote] I thought status at first but it looks more like someone just had a custom bass made and put an unbranded neck on it
