[quote name='7string' post='72352' date='Oct 10 2007, 07:37 PM']Nice to know how much i could get for mine, but I'm waaay to attached to it. Anyway, it needs a whammy someday.. New Winger live album and DVD out on November 9. Unfortunately, he plays a Warwick nowadays !![/quote] I've still got my custom signature model (lacewood, 2 EMG humbuckers, Kahler offset bridge etc) & a rare white version which I won't be parting with anytime soon.... Yep, got my order in for this live CD/DVD already.... can't wait! It's gonna be great You're right about his instrument choice. It's gone downhill over the years.... He started SOOO well with a brace of Spectors.... then he changed to Jackson (still nice)... then to Washburn... and now to a new Warwick.... Though to be fair, he still uses his Spector, Jackson and a mid 80's Warwick on studio recordings.... -
SOLD

Lovely bass! After all these years I'm finally coming around to the charms of a simple 70's Fender P or J....
-
The build quality should be the same but the weight/density etc is probably down to the different woods.... e.g. Ash, Basswood etc....
-
I like to play stuff the staff (& shoppers) are unlikely to know..... Usually, 'Little Dirty Blonde' by Winger, 'Whats This World Comin' To' by Chicago, 'Sweet Maxine' by The Doobie Brothers, 'Champagne Jam' by Atlanta Rhythm Section or the like..... They are cool basslines that will make people look up, but obscure enough that they won't know whether you are butchering them or not!!
-
If you want a quality, fire retardent (very important!) backdrop and bass drum head with logo then contact GCB at [url="http://www.rockdrops.com"]Rockdrops[/url] [[email protected]] (GCB)[/email] and tell him that Gary (Spector bassist) recommended him. He does amazing work and will do you the best deal he can....

[quote name='Dodge' post='71543' date='Oct 9 2007, 01:21 PM']Piccies for your viewing pleasure. 1987 Streamer bass (note the cherry body, the wenge through neck, the one-piece bridge, the non-angled tuners and the EMG's)[/quote] Those old Streamers (80's) are lovely..... and that's a very nice example.

Any news?

In the region of £400 - £500. The diesel cabs are worth about £50 less..... Superb cabs, particularly if EV loaded!

[quote name='Cantdosleepy' post='71443' date='Oct 9 2007, 09:52 AM']Er guys, that's not the high road. The high road is not responding, or sending a response like "Thank you for your comments - we appreciate fan feedback". I'd just let it die.[/quote] But then there would be no 'fun' thread.... And twats like that need to be responded to and invited to show everyone their one jazz chord....

[quote name='Rich' post='71420' date='Oct 9 2007, 07:54 AM']The last show I went to was basically two hours on the road for little more than overly-loud software demonstrations and a huge bunch of spotty teenagers trying desperately to out-widdle each other. And the ones on the guitars were even worse. There was almost nothing of interest bass-wise, the sole exception being the good Doctor with his E-Basses. Apart from that it was a low-end desert. I wouldn't have minded picking up a bargain, but all I left with was the prospect of a two hour journey home. So I won't be going to this one.[/quote] I agree..... I resent paying to look around what basically is an overly busy music shop stocking nothing of particular interest.... and having my ears assaulted by the white-noise that is a hundred bedroom guitarists widdling pointlessly.....
-
Andertons are offering them at £599...... VERY tempting! For those who prefer black, they're only offereing white so far though....... suits me!

What 1 question to any bass player would you ask?

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='70924' date='Oct 8 2007, 10:04 AM']I'd ask Gene Simmons whether he'd sell his grandmothers remains if someone offered enough money.[/quote] Of course he would..... I'd ask Peter Cetera why he stopped being a brilliant bassist and instead pyt down his bass & became a singer of bland ballads? Actually, I already know the answer to that.... money/ego/easy life.... -
That's a BEAUTY....! -
[quote name='SJA' post='69016' date='Oct 3 2007, 12:27 PM']check this out- the forthcoming Duff McKagan signature bass- [url="http://www.meconline.co.uk/acatalog/info%5f0146500323%2ehtml"]http://www.meconline.co.uk/acatalog/info%5f0146500323%2ehtml[/url] strangely the J pickup looks slightly closer to the neck - it's inline with the pickup selector switch.[/quote] That's GREAT news for me.... but maybe not for people with original ones....! hmmm... So, I can get a brand new reissue one.... or it may drive down the prices of the originals so I could get one of those. Conversely, I guess......, it could increase demand for the originals? Thoughts?
-
Yep, you need a license from MCPS.... but give them away free and you don't need a license. Try selling t-shirts of your band.... and including a free CD with each purchase. That's the best way around it....

Kate Bush has some great fretless basslines.... Check out 'Breathing', 'Babooshka' etc

[quote name='JimBobTTD' post='66002' date='Sep 26 2007, 05:31 PM']Thanks, folks. I have no real idea of her history, but she is in absolute unplayed condition with the exception of 3 small dings. Incredible, really. She must have been left under a bed for 20 years. It's a shame really, as I got this bass to be my rehearsal and gigging bass. But I can't afford to buy things and not use them! (A case is next on my shopping list!)[/quote] Wow! Let me know if you ever want to sell her on.....
-
Lovely! She looks in excellent condition too! Always fancied one of those myself.... Where did you find her? eBay?

How Many Readers Of This Site Actually Go Out And Gig?
cetera replied to bass_in_ya_face's topic in General Discussion
I gig 2 - 6 times a month. Enough to look forward to it.... not so much as to get sick of the travelling / loading in & out etc...
