Re: Favourite Bass Guitar
You can't go too far wrong with a Fender Jazz - a really versatile bass guitar!
Shove it up yer bollocks then!

Re: Favourite Bass Guitar
Precision for obvious reasons...
But like the Jazz too!
Also nearly bought a Gibson Ripper once upon a time.

Re: Favourite Bass Guitar
I recently bought a USA Fender Precision as per JJ's old one (as regards colour). Lovely bass.

Re: Favourite Bass Guitar
These are my favourite basses for quality, tone and looks! Hand built in England too! JJ used one on the Meninback album apparently!

He had a wal pro bass that he had in the 'Bear cage' video and I think also used it at the Rainbow gig when Hugh was in prison.dead ringer wrote:These are my favourite basses for quality, tone and looks! Hand built in England too! JJ used one on the Meninback album apparently!
