Sibob Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) It hasn't arrived yet (or even dispatched) It was bought from a Basschat member in the FS section. It is white It is a five string (shock horror!!....guess who's had enough of transposing dep gigs on the fly with 4's) It's nothing fancy, and a bargain/cheap, but looks pimp and solid and I expect it to do the job I'm buying it for admirably! More news when it arrives Si p.s. My gf knew of the potential purchase, and when I told her that I'd paid for it she said "yeah you do, I love it when you buy basses".......genuinely as well, not sarky! lol. Get in.

Sibob Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) It arrived Just giving a bit of a setup, then will post some pics......whether or not they will be with the gf is yet to be seen! Si Edited May 7, 2009 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Well I better come clean!! Bought a Squier Deluxe 5 string from our very own Ruairidh. Still needs some new strings, but I setup the truss rod/action/intonation and it's a fantastic bit of kit for the cash I paid! Can't wait to get it out and about! I'm interested in how the Preamp and P'ups will perform, If I'm not happy with them, I might swap them out further down the line! Si p.s. Just using Ruairidh's photos for now! p.p.s. The pics with the gf will have to wait for now, she kept vetting them cos she 'looked bad' lol, typical Edited May 7, 2009 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh3184 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 nice! I like all white jazzes. What about a red tort pickguard though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabskiboab Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 That looks sweet, I love the matching head stock. What makes it deluxe? Is it active? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlbbb Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Congrats mate. Sold my all black one to NJE (on here), I miss it. May buy an all white one if I ever get the urge to have one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yeah I think it looks pretty sweet! There are no holes for a pickguard, it is stock sans pickguard, so I would have to drill holes to add one....not really much point! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great as it is![/quote] I couldn't agree more, it's looks very individual in my collection, even next to my all white (w/ white pickguard) P-bass. The only thing I'd say about it as a negative, is that the headstock colour is very slightly different to the body, doesn't bother me in the slightest, but is probably the only thing that gives away it's budget heritage! Other than that it feels and sounds solid, yet to gig it yet though.....really looking forward to it! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Don't think anyone will see it as a budget bass. It just looks too good. Lucky you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
