  1. [quote name='headofire' timestamp='1322727114' post='1454845'] It also had an enormous scratchplate that went all the way from neck to bridge... [/quote] So is this scratchplate on this for sale version of the bass original or not?
  2. Did our bit to stimulate the European economy with a stompbox deal... all nice and easy. Many thanks,hope you enjoy it!
  3. I'd be interested in the story of what happened to the original body..!
  4. I would have thunk airbags should deploy when a certain g force is exceeded... maybe running into a solid wall at 8mph would do that, but surely not hitting a mobile object. It's actually rather dangerous if the airbags are going off when you don't need them as it makes it hard to control the vehicle through the 'second stage' of the collision. All of which is rather irrelevant unless you can persuade the car maker that the bags were faulty and should be stumping up the cash!

  6. No, I have been admiring it. Like the VW logo - how's it done?
  7. I was walking through a cemetery this crisp autumn morning and suddenly thought of the STR, for some reason! Sorry to hear about the hand problems. Reason I am learning bass now is because I saw my dad struggling with his own arthritis (a hereditary type)... i realised i should wiggle my fingers while I still can, whether that's a week, a year, or ten... then go back to the computer stuff when that's getting a bit difficult! The god of bass is great, but the god of music is greater still...
  8. Hello and welcome! Forum rules are traditionally that you have to state an asking price for everything, to avoid the place having an 'auction' feel. I think it's still ok to say "... or offers". (BTW I am tempted by the clone theory but bought too much recently!)
  9. Shouldn't the link be: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ovation-Viper-electro-acoustic-bass-/180761312291?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a1636bc23"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ovation-Viper-electro-acoustic-bass-/180761312291?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a1636bc23[/url]
  10. De rien... bienvenue à basschat!
  11. I thought you might be You should change the title "[s]Sold [/s]Fender jazz bass american deluxe fretless" to "[b]For Sale:[/b] Fender jazz bass american deluxe fretless"
  12. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1321973429' post='1444967'] Now, what could I do with 2 101s? [/quote] they'd only be one 8 pole filter! I'd love a proper LPF but I don't need all the envelope facilities. I just want to sweep the thing...
  13. You sold it already? or you want to sell it?
  14. How much do you reckon for the p'n'p?
  15. Is that including postage?
  16. [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1321616154' post='1441178'] Whichever it takes to keep her quiet [/quote] I think when you get really good, slapping is just a subset of fingerstyle anyway. Not that I'd know.
  17. SOLD Thanks guys [color=#A9A9A9]I think this is a 'KS' bass, based on it having the same unusual headstock shape as[/color][url="http://www.swapz.co.uk/swapz/1746101/black_5_string_bass_guitar_ks_instruments_b-05/"][color=#A9A9A9] this one[/color][/url][color=#A9A9A9]. Originally bought via this thread:[/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/136601-sold-5-string-fretless-passive-bass-with-brand-new-flats-l100/page__hl__fretless+pristine__fromsearch__1"][color=#A9A9A9]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/color][/url] [color=#A9A9A9]Hope Thurbs doesn't mind the link. Basically I did what he did - got this to try fretless, enjoyed it a lot (thanks Thurbs), and upgraded to something a bit better! Things to note: When I got it, the nut action was very high, and intonation at the bottom of the neck all askew, so I've filed the nut down a lot to sort that out - does play much better now! The strings I got it with didn't last long, and I then got some flats which are now on another bass so it doesn't have strings on it at the moment - I may have some I can stick on it but they would be nicer ones than came with it - will think about that more if anyone is interested! I think this is one of those rare fretlesses with 'between the frets' dot markers, so that's a little extra thing to get used to.[/color]
  18. Inspired by this thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/137-warwick-dark-lord-bass-strings-review/"]http://basschat.co.u...strings-review/[/url] I got these, and I got a nice 35" bass to try them on - but I'm enjoying the bass too much in standard tuning to mess with it so the plan has gone sideways a bit! I've tried the F# and B string on for size, but not cut them to length, and not played them for more than 5 minutes, so these are very nearly new. Tapered ends, so as long as you have a front-loading bridge that can cope with a B string you should be fine. If you don't want to file the nut wider, you'll want to take the existing nut off and get a cheap one off ebay to file to the right width for these fatties. £26.50 incl postage.

I am currently listening to a song called 'People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World'....
  20. The ones I grabbed are with me already... buy with confidence!
  21. [quote name='badgerific' timestamp='1312133446' post='1322339'] [/quote] Does that T-shirt say '아시안 맨' ('asian men') on it? and why?
  22. I pounced on a couple of freshly listed pedals and they were with me effectively the next day. Game played at a lively pace, just like it should be! Many thanks!
