  1. I got a set of Hipshot Ultralite (USA) lollipop style tuners for my Vintera 60s Mustang bass a few weeks ago from Bass Direct for about £120. They are much lighter than the standard Hipshot ones that came fitted. I emailed them first to check the best ones to get. They have the licensed Hipshot ones from £19.50 per machine. I also got a set of fender Infinity Straplocks as these move the strap about 1.5 cm towards the 12th fret.
  2. Damn - can't believe I missed them as I've been in Durham this weekend. I'll also miss them at home in Glasgow as I'm still in Durham till tomorrow. :-(
  3. I'd love an 8 or 12 stringer but could never justify the cost.

  5. [quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='992058' date='Oct 18 2010, 11:20 AM']One of the fender short scales had a Strat pickup in it,did it not ?[/quote] It was the Musicmaster. IIRC it was Bassist mag that did a feature on hotrodding them with a SD Hotrails bladed Strat pickup
  6. I think my new Shuker 5 string will be enough for me (I need to get some pics on here)
  7. Manic Street Preachers - a band I love but also one that I feel comfortable that my basslines would have added to the band.
  8. I bought this second hand a few months ago. I also got a MacBook just after and decided that Garageband, although more limited, was adequate for my needs. So I'm selling the Boss to free up a bit more space in my musicroom/office. I have the original box and cloth case for this, along with a PSU I bought off eBay (they don't come as standard as these machine run on batteries). It also has a 1GB CF memory card installed. The only thing is that the guy I bought it off didn't have the owner's manual but I will include the PDF of it it on a CD-ROM if needed. There are some superficial marks/scratches on the top of the unit but these aren't serious and don't affect it in any way. This is a powerful and versatile little recorder that's about the size of a closed net-book PC. I don't really need all the stuff on this - Garageband does me fine.

  9. IIRC that James Dean Bradfield played most or all of the bass on at least the first few Manics Albums. I've also heard that they never miked up Richey's amp on stage as he couldn't play very well. Billy Corgan is also supposed to have recorded most of Darcy Wretsky's bass lines too. IIRC that Anthony Jackson was used for the single of Fishbone's version on Freddie's Dead.
