This was a great help to me! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/177711-need-help-understanding-power-ratings/page__hl__need%20help%20understanding__st__0"]http://basschat.co.u...standing__st__0[/url] and this http://basschat.co.uk/topic/180123-2x12-vs-4x10/page__fromsearch__1

I've got a CIJ 62 reissue Fretless Jazz. It's beautiful and plays and sounds beautiful. I took it to a shop for a set up. When i returned to pick it up the bass tutor at the shop was playing it, which pissed me off to be honest. He told me that he had a MIA version, whether he meant the same model or just an MIA jazz i don't know, but he said that mine was much better than his and in his opinion CIJ's were better than MIA. Having never played an MIA i couldn't vouch for it but i was glas mine was better. Especially how he was playing it.....twat!

[quote name='merlin' timestamp='1358156646' post='1933781'] Hi still got the six,could not bring myself to sell her,but got Gas, brought the five fretless,I now use this as main bass. The bass is real easy to play fast neck nice string spacing,well fits my porky fingers,the B is good no nasty suprises here no volume or tone drop out,like on other 5s,mine was playable out the box. The Esp pups work well the tone controls are ok,not as good as the 6,not sure why?but all the tones are there, and as with the 6 the finish is spot on.If your brave theres a youtube of said bass,I was just starting the solo when the pratt turned off the camara,claiming battery death,best of luck with your quest. .the YT link top one down below M. [/quote] You must be a magician. Someone said your name and you appear. Thanks for the info, I'll watch the vid now. Does the above count as a review. If so i'll just post pics and soundclips.

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1358106659' post='1933282'] I'd be interested to hear what it sounds like if you buy one. [/quote] [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1358106699' post='1933283'] I used to be an ESP stockist when I had a guitar shop and I always found their cheaper range (the 200 series) some of the best guitars in that price range, a little bit different in design and very well manufactured. Funnily enough it was upper models of the LTD range (400 mainly) that I had some issues with, but this one should be a fabulous bass. Looking forward to a review and pics!! [/quote] No pressure then! Ha ha. Yeah i'll give it a go, never done a review. I'll def post pics and clips.

Nice one. Thanks for that. It's kind of for the same reasons as one of the early posts in that thread. I have a fretless, but i love it to much and only use it on special occascions (nerd). I want one for everyday use. This looks like it will fit the bill!

It would have to be JPJ throughout Led Zeps career. Can't be a better job!

Hi, Probably gonna buy one of these of Thomann next week. Anyone know anything about them. unfortunately no sound samples on Thomann and can't find owt on Youtube. If i don't like i will send it back but any info before i buy would be handy. Here's the link http://www.thomann.de/gb/esp_ltd_b205sm_fl_natural_satin.htm

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1357925765' post='1930774'] I can get pissed up for a fiver in Bolton. You just have to know where to go [/quote] People are pissed before they go out in Bolton! I live down the road from ya pal in Atherton. It's worse there!

Yep prices are there!.....Gobsh*te!

I hope the basses are priced similarly!

Yeah there is some good stuff, I can't see any prices tho! I've emailed them for prices. I'm probably being a gobsh*te tho and they are on there. They are made in Slovakia. I went on holiday to Slovakia once in January. Stayed with a Slovak friend. It was -20C. Had a great time, beautiful country and the people were so friendly. Cheap as chips too. You could get pissed up on a fiver!

My aims for thid year are to learn a couple of Jaco number's, hopefully Opus Pocus if i can find the dots.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1357916995' post='1930578'] hell of a story! I think Metropolis is probably going to be the easiest of that bunch to be honest! [/quote] Oh yeah and derek sherinian tried to pull my mates missus and take her on the rest of the tour with them. My mate was gonna twat him!

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1357895735' post='1930063'] Ok, I need a motivator to practice as hard as I used to and get my "chops" back. For this reason I am setting myself a bass new years resolution. By the end of this year I will upload to basschat my best efforts at playing: Pull Me Under - Dream Theater Metropolis Pt.1 - Dream Theater Endless Sacrifice - Dream Theater A fools Paradise - Symphony X And two challenges set by members of Basschat (no slap please I don't currently have an urge to work on that particular technique) [/quote] Fook me, looking forward to seeing metropolis. I know it sounds more difficult than it is. Seen DT three times when i was younger, always waited for that song. Hung out with them too. Shared a spliff and a kebab with Portnoy ( both mine, scrounger), and la brie signed my then girlfriends boobs.

Could i be after Paul JH please?

Roto swing bass

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1357911580' post='1930435'] Hi All Not sure if this has been covered before but..... When you go to a music shop to test out a bass/amp etc what do you play? For me I find the music shop experience a complete and utter nightmare, I'm not sure what to play, what I do play, sounds really crap (well to me at least). Anyone else suffer from this or similar. Cheers Tony [/quote] Is that why Rimmer is you're profile pic!

You give love a bad name- Bon Jovi

I don't think she's coming back to this thread!

It's gotta be any LettsBass. I'm saving up to get one!

A couple of you may know that i got the gig for the above, so just doing my bit and posting a link for dates and tickets if anyone is interested in this kind of thing. [url="http://www.rentinconcert.co.uk/"]http://www.rentinconcert.co.uk/[/url] If anyone does go and and fancies a drink after the band will be more than welcome. haha

All my favourites have been mentioned so i'll just add Chris Frazier/Stu Hamm Terry Bozzio/T M Stevens

By similar ish i meant talent and quirkiness. Kimbra sounds nowt like what your doing. But she's a strong performer, female, quirky, incredible songs
