[quote name='munkonthehill' post='998198' date='Oct 23 2010, 04:09 PM']im only 31 buddy!!!!!!!! im pretty sure thats still young hahaha. All jokin aside though, its a crackin weekend.[/quote] Haha yeh i suppose u might fit in with the young 'hip' squad I would love to go assumin it wasnt a sunday

[quote name='tom1946' post='998120' date='Oct 23 2010, 03:00 PM']You never told me your second name I just thought the name I used sounded Scottish [/quote] I did surely... its Shields for the record. Fraser?? Scottish??

Thanks ez, but i meant whats better out a p and j bass.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='998118' date='Oct 23 2010, 02:58 PM']... maybe a P. Only joking. I'm basing my choice on what you've said before and also the fact that you may be playing where a bass with a more controllable tone favours the acoustic conditions.[/quote] Thank you But a P still appeals to me strangely, i want both!!!!

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='998102' date='Oct 23 2010, 02:42 PM']J[/quote] Thank u ou7shined. A straight answer for once

Right, i play in a church band so hopefully u will know what type of music it is. P or J?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='998068' date='Oct 23 2010, 02:17 PM']If you are keeping the Yammy get a P, then you have one of each. If you are happy with what you've got but want to step up a level get a J.[/quote] I just recently sold the yammy and lookin to trade the rickenfaker i have, hopefully for a jazz or p bass.

Aye haha, just because im young doesnt mean im disrespectful as most people might think about youths nowadays

[quote name='gary mac' post='998057' date='Oct 23 2010, 02:10 PM']I've got both. A while back I loved my Jazz and didn't play the P for months. Decided I was a J bass chap. Then picked up the P again and decided I'm more of a P bass chap. So no help to you at all. Thing is they are both good instruments, they wouldn't have been about for all these years otherwise. My advise would be to visit a decent shop and try a few. Quality can vary greatly. Try them unplugged, try them plugged in and both sitting and standing with a strap.[/quote] Haha cheers mate, ill do that sometime next week hopefully.

[quote name='skelf' post='998048' date='Oct 23 2010, 02:06 PM']There in lies the problem. If it is not on the door step it is to much trouble. Which in turn means no one organises anything. Not drive however does make things more difficult and that is fair enough.[/quote] I am only 17 too, is there alot of youth at the Moffat thing?

Cool and no im not a dull player Is there anyone on this forum that stays in ayrshire at all??? Until someone says otherwise i am the most un-dull bass player in all of Ayrshire ©

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='998025' date='Oct 23 2010, 01:51 PM']What have you been playing up until now and what style of music are you playing?[/quote] I had a yamaha rbx4 a2, my playing varies i suppose. Funk, slow rock that sort of thing.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='998012' date='Oct 23 2010, 01:36 PM']Really? I didn't think it was much further than Stirling. Just in a different direction.[/quote] Aye ano but i know how to get to Stirling. I dont drive Train??

It's about 90 minutes drive from you.[/quote] Ooft, thats a trek

[quote name='ezbass' post='997988' date='Oct 23 2010, 01:16 PM']Then the world is your oyster as P/Js tend to come with J width necks. The only exception I know to this is the Fret King Perception. Here's some Fenders [url="http://fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0135762355"]http://fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0135762355[/url] [url="http://fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0146500323"]http://fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0146500323[/url][/quote] They are sexy basses but whats better???

[quote name='xgsjx' post='997985' date='Oct 23 2010, 01:16 PM']There was a short discussion on here a few months ago about having something around the Stirling or Falkirk. I'd still be up for this on a Saturday preferably (church on Sunday here too). If folk are interested, I'll have a query about venues as I'm in Falkirk every weekend. I've wanted to go to the Moffat bash since hearing of them (aka joining here) but every time its collided with something else. [/quote] Wheres Moffat???? Stirling might be ok or falkirk. I think we should have one in ayrshire

I heard that a P bass sounds pretty dull?? Is that true?

[quote name='ezbass' post='997978' date='Oct 23 2010, 01:07 PM']Ooh this old chestnut. A P/J solves the tone dilemma (up to a point) the width of neck is another matter altogether and more likely to influence your decision. What do you prefer wide or narrow?[/quote] I like a slim neck but not too fussy.

That is one sexy bass
