[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1449059758' post='2920395'] Really tempted by that Black P but as I am about o sell my Peavey Black P Bass copy it would be a waste. I must stop watching his thread.....but I probably won't. [/quote] Peavey P copy? Tell me more... -

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1448541995' post='2916273'] In which case there can only be one choice of bass: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TENNESSEE-15-STRING-EXTENDED-RANGE-BASS-/291606350777"]http://www.ebay.co.u...S-/291606350777[/url] [/quote] This. Among other things, there's a lot of good useable steel cable there. Very useful for snares, etc.etc.. -

Shame he hasn't posted a pic of the electrics cover, because that's the only way I know of to tell whether it's MIJ or not.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1448840758' post='2918587'] I did some work on one of these last week and thought it was a good quality piece of kit. Very loud and good range of tones available. I would suggest it would be good for metal too��. Good value for what will probably be an easy fix. Glwts [/quote] Thank you kindly

Perfect accessory for a headless bass

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1448734551' post='2917775'] I'm guessing it's not much good for metal? [/quote] Given the way it's broken, I don't think it was much good for wood either. -
[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1448726351' post='2917691'] Great to see Magazine's 'Real Life' in your list - still one of my all-time favourite albums... [/quote] I was playing it for my son a few weeks back. He's catching on

Sounds like fun

I'm with you on M John Harrison. A great writer. For the albums... Richard and Linda Thompson, 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight'. Wire, 'Chairs Missing'. Magazine, 'Real Life'. Television, 'Marquee Moon'. Palace Music, 'Arise Therefore'. The Mutton Birds, 'Envy Of Angels'. Talking Heads, 'Stop Making Sense'. 3 Mustaphas 3, 'Heart Of Uncle'. Luxury item... trombone. I can't play the thing worth a damn, and there'd be nobody there to laugh.

Whoops! Metal person buys fretless by mistake
alyctes replied to Annoying Twit's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I could go and have a look, I suppose. I'm not affording new basses though. -
Four necks, all for right-handed 4-string basses. All are sold without hardware (the Vintage will have its TR cover). All are 42mm nut. They are: Neck A: no-name unshaped paddle-type headstock; it came from Harrier Guitars, a couple of years ago. This is unused, but has picked up a chip on the end of the fingerboard (since tidied up). Heel is 61mm wide, so quite narrow. 20 frets. £30 posted. Neck B: no-name Thunderbird-style. Tuners and string tree not included unless we come to an agreement. Came off an eBay bitsa (with a J-type yellow body). Heel is 63mm wide. 21 frets. £30 plus P+P. Neck C: KCC. Decent enough given the source. Some wear. Heel is 65mm wide, quite wide indeed. 21 frets. £20 posted. Neck D: Vintage (JHS). Black. TRC cover included; tuners not included unless we come to an agreement. Heel is 63.5mm wide. 24 frets. £30 posted. Pics are here: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/wide-nut%20necks?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu...s?sort=3&page=1[/url] Apologies for my rubbishy photography skills. I've tried to keep the pics in groups, bookended by headstock pics.

I doubt it; distortion pedals are intended to add distortion, not remove it. Your best bet is to avoid pushing the amp beyond its comfort zone.

potential bargain Double Bass on gumtree Stirling
alyctes replied to SubsonicSimpleton's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
It looks pretty battered but most of that looks cosmetic. I can't tell what the marks on the fingerboard might be - possibly tape to learn positions? I think the bow might need re-hairing It's got to be worth a punt at £50, surely. At least if you know what you're doing.
