[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1370707451' post='2104707'] By way of contrast, tonight I am at a social club in Wells, Somerset, where [i]Hot Fuzz[/i] was filmed. Yarp! Nice on wateroftyne! [/quote] Ive been there! Yarp!

In a previous metal band I was in, tuned to C, me playing an aria Pro IGB50 thru a Trace Elliott GP12 4x12, when doubling up with the guitarist (no idea what gear he was using at the time) had the most amazing growl ive ever heard from a band. Never been able to reproduce it, but it was a brilliant sound

"Punk is whatever we made it to be" D. Boon p.s. was just gonna put "apologies if this has been posted but I haven't read the thread" but then I realised that's totally not in context of the quote, so instead I say "balls to ya!"

Made in japan?

Well, Ive seen a few headless basses, but never a bassless head. Just off to ebay a handful of sand under the heading "New build house - [i]project[/i]"

I have M.U which is like a best of album, not a bad tune on it. Locomotive breath, Aqualung and Fatman personal faves

Hi all, picked up my beloved Aria Pro IGB50 for a noodle last night, plugged in and....nothing. "Poohsticks" thinks I, and set about changing the battery for a spangly new one, yet still nothing. Further brave probing got me opening the cavity to look for expired rodents....nope, drew a blank there. Now, I have a multimeter and aren't too shabby with doing stuff meself but have no clue where to start. Are there any online tutorials or the likes that could show me what to test to see whats afoot? thanks, silently

yeah, its going great, they're a fun bunch of people. And the music....I wasn't a Kate Bush fan before but I am now, she's incredible. The basslines are a joy to behold, and a b*st*ard to play

Cool beans! I was in that very room a couple months back meself, who was your DJ Dave?

[quote name='Ed_S' timestamp='1370162585' post='2097012'] My lass rang up and got the cheaper deal on one of these - cheers for the heads-up! She wanted something cheap-but-alright to keep in Eb so she doesn't have to mess with the tuning of her main bass when plonking along to CDs that are half-step-down. The deal is, however, that if it arrives generally sound and I do the setup (and add copper tape, decent pickup and electronics, better bridge, straplocks, new strings etc. from my bits-box as required) I get to gig it with my metal band! Gonna get some quality looks, not least of all from the band given that I'd sound-check with my 'normal' precision. Hope it's a good 'un when it arrives [/quote] pics when you do, in full flow, volume up to eleven, please

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1370027729' post='2095826'] Speaking as a girl, I can honestly say I found the bass and bassists sexier than guitars and guitarists. There's something quite primal about the low notes and rhythm. Seems to me that guitars are all about short stretches of showing off performances as opposed to wanting to keep things smooth, understated and well performed over the whole performance [/quote] And of course, bassists have bigger penises. Well, the male ones anyway.

im the opposite, guitar necks look stunted to me, like they took up smoking too early. The average bass neck is of a very pleasing proportion to the average bass body

......any reasons why I shouldn't?

Cant talk. playing.

Go to Google, type Atari breakout and then click 'images'

Mate, I feel your pain. Ive been saving up in small increments coz that's all ive been able to afford for a new bass and the other night my van sh*t its own gearbox out so guess where the money is gonna have to come from to pay for that? gutted

I didn't

Even though I've spent most of my life in cities, I now live just outside Lyme Regis, where fire is still viewed with some suspicion. Subsequently, it has come as a little bit of a culture shock to find that there are precisely no decent sized musical instrument emporiums within a few miles radius that I can just walk into and release some pent up gas. As you may imagine, I am quite sizeable by now, and am in need of some relief. In my wisdom, I have decided that next week I shall take a day off work and go trawl around and lick as many juicy basses as possible, but not being locally born and bred, I need to ask for a little help in finding such purveyors of fine woodwork. So far, after a look-see on t'interweb I have found 3 shops in Exeter, namely Musicroom, Mansons and Project Music, and one in Taunton, Hartnoll Guitars. Can you lot recommend any more please Chahs
