[quote name='Buzz' post='21367' date='Jun 21 2007, 01:37 PM']You probably could just use t-cut to get rid of the buckle rash. I'd say it'll be down to the toughness of the lacquer.[/quote] T-cut? Are you sure? I've got a feeling that stuff might do something nasty to a bass. Fender make a 'swirl and haze' remover, that might be worth looking into but it depends on how deep the scratches are.

This thing is "brutal", apparently... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supro-High-Gain-Mini-bass-amp-See-Video_W0QQitemZ230120697135QQihZ013QQcategoryZ38079QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supro-High-Gain-Mini...9QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

I use a comfort strapp, a couple of big wide leather levys straps, a padded leather fender strap and a wide planet waves strap. They're all good straps but some seem to feel much better with certain basses.

Nice basses I've got a Joodee acoustic guitar that's about 25+ years old, it sounds great but I've never found much info on it.

I like your family tree mike! That's quite a bass family you've had/got!

and don't they just play like nothing on earth too?! You must be proud one day I shall own a GB!

They're great basses for the money. I particularly like sound and feel of the Fortress 4 with the P + J pickups.

A NEW SHALLAC ALBUM! Must it buy now!!

I'd recommend D'addario 45-100 pro-steels. They have a enough snap and thud to them without being stiff to work around quickly on the fret board IMO.

I tends to say six-be-ten, bey! Propah job!

Warwick have just released the Adjust-a-nut 2. It's pretty much the same as the original one but without the flimsy side bits.

That's a tricky one. Is he inexperienced, lazy or sketchy? I can't decide. Maybe a bit of each?

Oh my! He's got more bass gear than the average bass shop.

I reckon you should do the job. It's only for the summer, you'll have a nice stack of cash to spend on bass things. I really don't think you'd regret doing it. What are you reeeally gonna miss out on anyway? Perhaps your mates are a bit jealous that you've got this opportunity?

Nice!! I particularly like the look of the Rogue, but they're all stunning!

Hi Hadrien, welcome to bass chat. Cool pic, what bass are you playing there?

I've been listening to Melt-Banana (who are currently supporting Tool on their US tour). The bassist is Rika mm. www.myspace.com/azap

I'd like to see this thread turn into a poll once there's enough replies. Is anyone brave enough to do it without the fear that you might get told off for missing certain people out?

1 Justin Chancellor - his use of higher notes on the neck and the way he uses effects. 2 Les Claypool - the grooves. 3 Jaco - the grooves, chops and harmonics. 4 Tom Jenkinson - a lot more than a bassist! 5 Rex Brown - fat sound, tight player, held down the low end perfectly in Pantera.

It might be worth looking into the Warwick Rockbass range. They're very good basses for the money.

[quote name='dave_says' post='10876' date='Jun 2 2007, 01:54 AM']Depending on how accurate his intonation is that could be a dodgy method.[/quote] Why's that? Isn't the 12th fret harmonic basically a clearer tone of the open string?

I vote KSD 70's jazz. A great bass for the money.

sweet!! I'm quite tempted by the Ampeg V-4BH. Has anyone had a blast on one of these? Can you get that 'ampeg dirt' out of it?

Cheers guys. I wonder why he uses a volume pedal instead of the controls on the bass?

Buy one! They sound amazing, really versatile and phat as hell! All things considered, they're pretty cheap too.
