paul h Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 SX. More addictive than crack cocaine. That is a tasty looking bass. I am going to get this as soon as some stock is available....

neilb Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Im thinking along the lines of a new white pearloid scratchplate, maple neck with pearl inlays (like the one on your link Paul). Nice or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 How can they produce them for £100!!! Are they any good? I've often thought about modifying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ok basses, was a bit disappointed with the 5 string jazz fretted..... Sharp frets, cheapo pickups but overall you can't knock them for the money. The frettless i took is excellent!!

Motocross_nick Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 that does look freakin sweet. shall have to let me know what its like when you get it neilb.

Thunderthumbs Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 That really is a superb looking finish for a £100 bass. I'm gassing like there's no tomorrow for a couple of SXs (a Jazz and 3 tone sunburst P), but I'm completely broke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesemt Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Didn't some of those basses come with a pearloid scratchplate anyway? I remember reading something about it on talkbass...which I've now boycotted after getting gazumped for a scratchplate Edited February 25, 2008 by Jamesemt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 As good as SX basses are meant to be, I can't get on with that headstock, it's just too big. I know it'd just take an hour or so with a hacksaw and some sandpaper to fix it but still, bleurgh! I quite fancy one of those 'unbranded basses' that were posted in the ebay links, but their gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motocross_nick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 neilb, you said this was £100 delivered. does that include everything? (i.e import taxes aswell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 No, I will have to pay about £20-30 tax and VAT. Still a bargain IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the shop in Liverpool and bought a 62 3TS P Bass. They let me have it for £115 and BassChatters can get them at this price if they wish. Ask for Neil. Build quality is amazing and it doesn't sound bad either. Took it to my guitar tech and he was completly floored. It was cheaper than the P-Bass kits he sells, better quality and you don't have to paint them. After I change the bridge, pots and stick a Wizard Thumper on it, I reckon it will be a crackin giggin bass for well under £200. Will take it up to the Lytham Bass Bass and anyone who is interested can have a butchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even supplied a set of allen keys. I am looking forward to having the ability of twating unruly Punters with it at some venues we play. Wouldn't dream of doing that with my main Basses.

fifeq Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 i just bought squier affinity for 30 quids stripped it down and now want to modded little bit. OLDGIT: after that maybe you could compare it with SX? i just bought it as a project but with very old strings through sansamp sounded nice:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do you a P Bass for £115 and probably £10 more for a Jazz. Speak to Neil. It was yesterday when I got mine and he made the offer if I pass the info on. He also said he would do a real good deal on a "bulk buy". Maybe we need a thread. I wouldn't be surprised if they are made in the same factory as SX's. There are way too many similarities. Here are the options. Cheers Stuart [attachment=6010:856e_2.jpg] [attachment=6009:8a26_1.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
