How to make a guitar even uglier-add crappy gold-metalflake finish
OK, this one is not so much ugly as pointless, A big confused WHY? from me.
Hey 1Bass, yes I looked at the rondomusic page, the prices on ursa2’s are exceptional, and they offer a maple neck/fretboard model the type I think I want, if I can’t find a decent pawn shop squire jb soon I may just buy one from them.Naturally I expect to have to do a complete setup on a guitar at this price, but I am tempted by getting all new for used price, have also been looking at their tele’s since they were mentioned in guitarsites low cost guitar listing, at these prices even if I need to hodrod them they’re still a bargain, I expect they are chineese, but except for questioning the quality of the electronics I am sure the chineese can build a just fine body/finish, my Stagg LP is proof of that to me.
I think I’ve found a winning entry.
Only information I can find points to here.

Sorry, I’m having trouble stopping laughing at this one. Dude be prepared to shred your finger to raw hunks of meat, after they come back from that you’ll get some callous then the learning to play really begins; good luck.
So the Ventura sold for $316, meh. The girl wasn’t very impressive, hardly worth the effort of clicking the link, not much of interest in this one huh?
1Bass, thanks for the tips, the squire you pictured looks kind of nice, I gather it’s 1 pbass pup and 1 jb pup? Saw a squire jag bass with the same set up called a squire jag special I believe, certainly a squire is a lot easier to go in and play than a Xaviere, it’s the one thing thats alway put me off them, in fact I looked at some Squire JB’s the other day at a dealer, I liked them but had been hoping to find one used for a much better than retail price, if I bought from GC or another big box dealer, the price for the base model affinity jb is practically the same as the Xaviere JB from GFS about 170-190 new, i too would prefer a solid maple neck like they show on the PB’s, and although I like ht e looks of the natural finish, I was hoping to find an antique white bass, something about the color combo appeals to me, GFS also makes the PB in white with the maple neck/fret, I wonder what would be involved with changing the pups on a PB to JB ones, think I’d end up with holes in the pickguard? Not too keen on doing immediate mods to a brand new (at least to me) guitar, probably I’ll continue to check the pawn shops and craigs list till I find one I can afford, there is after all the cost of a bass amp to go with the cost of the bass to consider, can’t put much budget into a new hobby item, it’s hard to think of spending money I could use on guitars instead, I keep drifting over to GFS and checking out Tele’s for 179 too. Thats a sound I don’t have in my ittinerary.
I own a Digi-tech rp 70 or 80, it’s cute and fun, but not gig-worthy. If you plan to gig with your M/E processor, go with the Boss, I’m not a fan of line 6 products, personally I think they sound too synthetic. The Boss units allow you to use the effects independently like you would with single pedals, unlike my Digi which tends to combine several together to form a “sound”, I’m shopping for a BOSS myself.
Boogie, actually I have seriously been considering the Xaviere JB it’s in the same price range as a Squire JB , only thing holding me back is considering re-sale values
Made a new acquantance the other day, might become a friend, He’s a bassist who dabbles in guitar. He confirmed your opinion that for me the best bet would probably be a Squire JB, playability vs cost ,tone ect. BTW he has three JAzz basses two are MIM and the third is a hot rodded Squire japan, He also recently purchased a Epi EB 5 and his demonstration of it’s characteristics confirms your opinion about balance and ease of playing, he put the Epi on and let go of the neck, dam thing looked like it wanted to tip him right over, same demo with a JB the guitar stayed right in place when he let go of it. Now I just need to find one at a really good price.
Pretty well decided to search for a Squire Jazz,modified or delux,no affinities thats for sure, seems I can get one used for about 100-120 and a decent peractice amp for 40-60 more, BTW boogie-I am a He not she, thats just an avatar, but thanks for the reply anyway
