Ahhh...remember it from the for sale thread now....lovely. Wanna sell it??

I'm a big fan, his dubby hypnotic style is just the ticket during a late night drinking session, as I discovered a couple of weeks back. "Mu" is a great album.

I'm after a new practising unit to replace my old Tascam CDBT1. I've seen that Korg have brought out the Pandora 5 but I wondered what else was about and more to the point what's recommended?

I love my white TB. I was in a UFO covers band so it was the only option. Mine was an Epi, although I did try a couple of Gibsons, and honestly, I preferred the Epiphone at a fraction of the price. A bass is what you make it. I slapped a couple of songs on mine no problem at all. Ok it's a much more middy sound than say a Jazz, but, I've seen reggae players, pop players and obviously rock players use them so you can do quite a bit with them if they're up your strasse. After all, [i]the funk's in the fingers, not the bass they're holding[/i].

TOP BLOKE.....easy to deal with, and drives a rather splendid old Range Rover, that I wanted. Buy with total confidence.

Now I bet that lot sounds awesome. A proper bass set up. Have you got flats on the JC?

[i]Please[/i] don't buy any of those basses you've listed, as pointed out above, they're poor quality, and you can do so much better by either taking your time and saving a bit more money, or searching for a better bass that could come up on here. I bought a cheap bass, similar to those for my 10 year old daughter, and even [i]she[/i] thinks it's drfitwood, in fact we're hoping to have a woodburning stove put in before the winter, and guess what's going on it first? Take your time, something much better will pop up on here.

Love The RHCP musically, but can't [i]stand[/i] Anthony Keidis' vocals. What a great band they'd be with a decent singer.

Yep, PMT Salford, if you want drums too. Sounds Great is in Heald Green, and is a great shop, but expensive and mainly guitar orientated, a few basses, and no drums. The drum centre is on the Eccles road, but no basses alas. PMT's your best bet.
