YouMa Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 The necks on these are like playing a strat very fast i regret getting shot of mine,it was in a lovely graphite colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjimlad Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Everything I read about these on here seemed to be positive... will see how I get on. Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny B Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm still playing mine, 20 years on - great bass, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrenleepoole Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) I had a P-Lyte and really, really regret getting rid of mine! The weight is excellent, and the necks play really nicely. The J-P pup arrangement should be really nice on yours. A nice instrument to upgrade too if you feel you want to change or mod the pickups. Great buy, you'll love it Edited August 19, 2010 by derrenleepoole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Great bass, nice one! Just remember to unplug your lead when not in use, as they can be a bit heavy on batteries. (Best to always have a spare one to hand as they dont work without 'em!) I had a metallic white one which I've always regretted selling.

kets Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I used to have a real thing for these basses, but never ended up buying one! Would still like one though... Really nice necks on them as I remember and good to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjimlad Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I picked it up this evening and have not stopped grinning since plugging it in. Whacking it through a Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110 - gets every sound I could ever want. For me this is Bass heaven ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I had one. I loved it - it had a fault in the electronics that affected (i believe) a number of early ones so the battery would still drain when it was unplugged. Converted it to passive. Really light and fast - lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjimlad Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 I've read something about them chewing up batteries apparently due to some dodgy component in the earlier models. This one's a 1998 model and the previous owner said it was not too bad on batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransistorBassMan Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Bought mine new in 1995, never had a problem with batteries. I'm very fond of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddys nose Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 My first good bass was a white one like above, really great necks and a joy to play, sold it for £199 years back wish I still had mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2x18 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Lovely Basses! I may be parting with my sunburst one shortly if anybody is interested. I fancy trying a Jaguar if anybody fancies a swap! Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had one of these myself but my mate has had one from new. Absolutely Luvverly! I have a Mexican Stu Hamm that is very similar - very fast to play. Will, I've had a Jaguar - IMO I would hang onto yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
