[quote name='Jigster' post='941604' date='Aug 31 2010, 11:04 PM']oh okay - that's a pretty amazing difference in price!! So it's a 98, much neck dive? - I really worry about that - the one I tried was sooo horizontal[/quote] Cant say as I noticed too much tbh

[u][/u] Sheesh theres some bitchyness round here, honestly its like a lost handbags convention miaow

Not had a bad one yet ( luckily) tho one day I fully intend to make my own, i imagine that one will qualify lol Intresting how many Fenders are on this list, Ive never got on with them either

Too Drunk to F*ck - Dead Kennedys fun little bass line that jingles lol Also on the punk theme, anything by Rancid. Nothing too far from the mainsteam there

Ok , Im hoping I dont get flamed for this coz its a genuine question, and I mean no offence Ive never heard of Alleva-Coppolo. Its a nice looking bass thats for certain, but what are the qualities that would make someone choose this over any other p style bass please? i.e. exotic woods, amazing electronics package etc etc. Like I said, I mean no offence with the comment, just genuinely curious cheers, Dave Sprocketflup

Dischords can sound good tho ( I hope anyway, Im ever so good at them lol) Easist thing to do is try it next time you two are in the same room with your instruments I would have thought?

of course they are

[quote name='Ian Savage' post='886527' date='Jul 5 2010, 05:53 PM'], Sound Control/Reverb were also dreadful for customer service and now they've gone,[/quote] Have they? Cant say as Im surprised - again same story as Sarah5string had, zero enthusiasm and customer service. What I always do tho in these situations when met with total apathy or arrogance from a sales assisatant is to be staggeringly overly cheerful just to piss them off . Sometimes they get the joke and wake up a little. The other ploy is to play so completely dumb and see what kind of bullsh*t you can drag out of them, that can be fun too. remember, they are being paid to be there - its only proper to get your moneys worth out of them lol The bass Centre ( if you are thinking of the place just round the corner on Livery street) is alos long gone, shame really, got some really good deals and service from those guys

Im a (relatively) new face - hurrah!! But I need to know - Dave Vader, what is going on in your avatar? It looks like the story of the Titanic remade using bass hardware

Is that an offer OTPJ? Any ideas about the hiss?

Hi, time I got shot of this bass as I never play it anymore and I really do need the money with both myself and the wife out of work now, its a Washburn XB-600 6 string in gloss black. The bass is in very good cond, no dings and just a small mark on the body pick up under the low B string. BUT there is a prob, the bass has developed a hiss, dont know how to fix it, it goes up and down with the volume and changes tone with the bass and treble knobs. Would love to be able to fix that but dont know how, the bloke who is interested has said he will take it as is, but I have no idea where to pitch it price wise? Any help greatly appreciated

[quote name='Musicman20' post='882748' date='Jul 1 2010, 09:54 AM']Ive not had that experience yet, but I have had a friend who also plays bass say I have trademark 'Gareth' runs/fills and slides that I tend to use in certain songs.[/quote] Id be well happy with a comment like that. Ive had folks tell me that theyve never seen anyone play a bass like I do - I was chuffed to bits and made sure I never asked them if that was a good thing or a bad one lmao

that is hooooge
