  1. Take my word for it, these are two superb basses, I owned them both very briefly, and was knocked out by both. The Geddy is a dream to play. I gigged it two weeks ago and had a fantastic tone through the Trace with it, it played itself with a pretty low action IMO. The Schecter is pound for pound one of the best basses I've had. BIG powerful punch, but back the QP off a bit, roll back a bit of tone and you've got a fantastic funk tone too. Very versatile bass indeed. Excellent build quality too. I was [i]genuinely[/i] sad to loose them, but I desparately wanted the Lakland DJ4, so out they went. You [i]will not[/i] regret buying either of these great basses, I promise you.
  2. Very very nice indeed, I fancied it too. You lucky swine.
  3. Saw him play with TGTBTQ a couple of years back. He's certainly a cool geezer, with a very distinctive style, but I have to confess, I didn't make it to the end of the gig, I'd heard enough after an hour and left, one of only two gigs I've ever walked out on. The album is OK if I'm in the right mood, and he's the best thing on it IMO. Glad to have seen him play up close though having never got to see the clash, the man's a legend.
  4. [quote name='Bassassin' post='251461' date='Jul 30 2008, 04:37 PM']Definitely a bargain price for any JapCrap Rick copy - even more so in the unlikely event it is an Ibanez branded one. It even has a hard case - eagle-eyed JapCrap spotters might be aware they can fetch a bob or two on their own: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140252094550"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=140252094550[/url] Too bad Exeter's a bit of a bike ride from Edinbugger... Jon.[/quote] Good grief, that's identical to the one the 2366B you got from me was in isn't it? Blimey, I should have asked for more .
  5. Only if you still want it mate, if you do, smart, if not, I'm happy to have it back. See you at the gig.
  6. [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='249551' date='Jul 28 2008, 01:22 PM'][/quote] I'm after one of those puppies too. I've got the single version, but want a double. Was it the Salford PMT you went to Al? That Euro 5 was a stonker, beautiful thing, and what a [i]sound[/i] !! Best low B I've ever heard. Can't wait to see the new Rebop, hopefully next Saturday in Orrell.
  7. I love that colour, I nearly bought a MIJ Jazz the very same colour a while back. Superb.
  8. Quality gear there Dave, I really MUST come and see the ZZtop tribute.
  9. Yamaha BBs are great basses, I can recommend them for that price. Squier Vintage Modified Jazz is about the best bass you can get for that kind of money in my opinion. Anything by Ibanez should be a good bass, but try before you buy. If I wanted a bass for around 150 quid, I'd be looking for the Squier. Edit; just noticed it's a fiver you want, so I'd look for a Yamaha BB.
  10. [quote name='Alun' post='249860' date='Jul 28 2008, 06:41 PM']I like Janek's writing a lot , and he's a great player. His solo set at Bassday 06 was superb I know he ran into some "issues" here for whatever reason, but I've met Janek twice and he's always been very friendly and nice. Cheers Alun[/quote] He did that gig minus his drummer who'd been delayed somewhere on a plane. He spent all afternoon in front of a laptop programming Pro Tools in order to do the gig. Top bloke, his mum was nice too (no not like [i]that[/i]). Issues with people here were blown all out of proportion at the time, by people who didn't "get" what he was trying to say.
  11. I reckon a Stage 1 Streamer will sound just fantastic as it is.
  12. I'd [i]love[/i] his new album, I thought "Mystery To Me" was brilliant, but it's $15 for the CD then $24 dollars postage?? No ta.
  13. Stunning that. If only...........
  14. I can't watch this hanging around any more, I want it.
  15. I use it because I want to. I slap on a couple of songs in the set (a rock set mainly), and it always seems to go down well with people. S&P is great when used sparingly, and not on every track. Of course it helps when you can do it as well as Mr Clayton, which I can't.
  16. Which is a shame. I for one would like to see more of them here.
  17. Cracking pair of basses there mate, a ray and a DJ, doesn't get much better than that.
  18. This was a band I was in last year: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GKdkYiFZ1s"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GKdkYiFZ1s[/url] Poor quality, and the sound isn't in sync with the vid, but it's laugh anyway.
  19. I seriously can't believe this is still available, I wish I had 200 quid.
  20. Well I'm one of the few SD Quarterpounder fans around, and highly recommend them. I've got one in my Schecter Model T, and have had one in a MIM P bass in the past, and totally love them, power and punch in spades. Don't know about Wizards, never had one, but the ones I've heard have been brighter than the QP in basses I've tried. Andy @ Wizard will give you a custom wind though for more bottom end if you need it.

    Got mine here; [url="http://www.castors-online.co.uk/?gclid=CPflmLKX25QCFRDklAodRWaJkQ"]http://www.castors-online.co.uk/?gclid=CPf...CFRDklAodRWaJkQ[/url] Admitedly, they were for a trolley I made for rolling the Trace about on. I certainly wouldn't recommend drilling holes in your cab until you know what's inside, but using sensible short screws should be fine, don't start wacking 3 inch screws in there, there's no need.
  22. [quote name='KevB' post='247680' date='Jul 25 2008, 11:31 AM']I used to be able to play most of it, it was always the bit where the bass is doing the run very tight with the drums just before the main riff that I found a struggle.[/quote] That's the bit that concerns me, I can't pick the notes out of the mix well enough to have a go at it.
  23. He's a wicked player, and a nice bloke too. He's one of these irritating (in a good way) people who can play loads of different instruments, and play them well.
  24. I wouldn't mind having a go at Spirit Of Radio myself, did you pick it up just by listening to the track?
  25. I use Ritter bags, and IMO, they're the dogs danglies. Spend as much as you can, the top end bags are worth the extra.
