I like it.

About £9.50?

Your budget should get you a nice secondhand Fender USA Jazz. I'd go for one of these 'cause they just work. You'd get your money back as well if ever you decide to sell.

Looks stunning - now you need to get to work on your garden bench

I like solid colours as well as sunburst, but I do admit sunburst looks better with maple fingerboards imho

Loving these! Everything looks better with a maple board - I love the look and feel.

Oh yes I totally forgot they made the HSS! Thanks

Yep- most people forget about the 25th/Reflex which is a real shame because they are outstanding.....IMHO of course :-)

Quite liked mmmbop.........oh, wait a minute......

The Bongo HH / HS has a tighter bridge H tone...as its closer. That is the only Musicman like that.

Not wishing to be a smartass here but the 25 Anniversary/Reflex in HSS config also has the H pickup closer to the bridge - it's the only way they can get all 3 pickups to fit. Sounds bloody great as well.

Had the great pleasure of meeting Wayne last night when we traded basses. A genuine nice bloke who really knows his stuff and he can play a bit too :-) Even managed a quick chat and a brew. Deal with Wayne with confidence. Thanks mate - hope you get as much pleasure out of your new bass as I have had over the past couple of years. Missing it already :-)

I do like a stingray in sunburst/maple - just stunning.

I had one of these back in the day in translucent blue. My first 'proper' bass. As Bagsieblue says, highly under appreciated in the past but gathering a bit of a cult following now. The build quality is top notch. Have a bump.

Bump for sale at £750 or trade for sunburst/maple or Olympic white/maple American standard jazz 2008 on.

Never had the opportunity to try one - feel like I'm missing out!

I own a 2009 American Jazz deluxe 4 string fretted which I bought new and cost me over £1K. Beautiful instrument. I have recently bought a second hand 2004 mex Jazz fretless off these very pages for £250 inc delivery. The difference is quality is very noticable however the fretless is just so much fun to play. The neck is fantastic. I do not play fretless that much with the band so didn't want to part with tons of cash. The problem I had was the massive difference in tone and volume when changing between both basses mid-set (the deluxe is active, the fretless is passive). So I stuck an East J Retro in the fretless (£125 second hand also from a basschat member) and voila..........I challange anyone in a blind test to tell which bass I was playing. Also bought a hard case for £50, a tort pickguard for £10 and 3 x Fender plastic stacked knobs (which I had shipped in from the good ol' US of A (£35). So the bass owes me £470 and I couldn't be happier.

Full agree that the MIA is miles better than the MIM and the Squier sits between the 2. If I was was buying new i'd probably go for the Squier (more bang for your buck) or possibly the Vintage (which is held in high regard on here) however if I played a lot of fretless i'd probably opt for the MIA (would still put the J Retro in there though!

The ACG looks fantastic BTW.

I'm with you on this one Karl. Stunning. Wonder if it's still for sale?

This reminds me of a joke from the eighties that was doing the rounds during the Falklands conflict.........What have Mr Spocks mother and Port Stanley airport got in common?....................They've both been f...ed by vulcans.

Please remove if offensive or not funny!

Having watched the video clip and listened carefully to the tones of the bass my conclusion is that I like the shape and the colour scheme and it sounds fantastic. The big hole is a big no no for me. So if I could get the tones, the shape & the colour scheme in a top quality package I'd be happy. Musicman Reflex HSS anyone? Or even better, the wonderful finish you get the the 25th Anniversary.

The volume difference between 300 watts and 500 watts through a 210 cab will be small.

The volume difference between 1 210 cab and 2 210 cabs will be large.

The bonus is that the tone will be greatly improved by using more speakers

Anything like a 410 or larger you might as well go 4 ohm, for cabs smaller than a 410 I'd always go 8 ohm and use 1 or 2 cabs depending on the gig.

Didn't like them at the time but have a couple of songs in our set now and really enjoy playing them. Go down a storm too. Not as good as the Seahorses though! Now that is a great band with some brilliant and creative bass lines!

I resorted to wall hangers.

Hanging children from wall hangers also attracts the attention of child protection services. Proceed with caution!

That is as packed as our gig was last night!......No I am not exagerating, we played to the barstaff only...how I love the soullessness of a covers band

And I've been there!
