  1. I think you'd be better off starting separate threads for the other basses. With pictures
  2. Tempting. I can't really afford it. Is this the 414 that belonged to deaver till recently, by any chance?
  3. Can't afford it this month. Long shot next month. It won't be here by then, though.
  4. But... remember you're auditioning them as well.
  5. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334780145' post='1621286'] This is also true... nothing improves your playing like being in a band. If you're the least able, you'll play up to everyone else's level and improve much more quickly than you would by playing against recordings. [/quote] I agree (being there, doing that
  6. I think ThomBassmonkey is right. The name "Palmer" was not mentioned then, but I remember thinking "oh I've got a Palmer with a headstock like that". Two other names were mentioned, but I can't remember what they were. [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1334791079' post='1621512'] iirc recently there was a thread by a guy asking the same question and his bass had the same headstock shape. I can't remember what the results were, maybe if you search you can find it [/quote]
  7. Okay, I have no way of knowing if this is accurate. Cory Doctorow is an honest man, AFAICT. So, if it's true, this is quite awful: http://boingboing.net/2012/01/04/paypal-if-you-dont-like-the.html
  8. [quote name='Torben Hedstrøm' timestamp='1334581945' post='1617946'] Sold (Don't know how to fiddle with the headlines...) [/quote] Edit your original post; then click the 'Use Full Editor' button.
  9. So who's now on the list? I was glad to read it but now it needs to go...
  10. Bump. Currently in need of an E string. I'm considering Sandmanning it (two strings tuned a fifth apart and played with a slide and pick). Its tone would suit that.
  11. [quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1334289330' post='1613869'] My daughter has a sixty quid Westfield P bass. Its a brilliant piece of kit and I'd be happy to gig it anytime if it wasn't [i]PINK![/i] [/quote] I want one
  12. I'm not close enough to have a go, but it does look interesting. My thanks to the providers of wisdom
  13. [quote name='ped' timestamp='1334172751' post='1612114'] Maybe we should add 'Rickenbacker' to the swear filter [/quote] That's really elegant
  14. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-guitar-/130679410897?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e6d1990d1 Any ideas what this is?
  15. Guy I know runs a Yamaha BBG5 tuned E - C. Plays well, sounds good.

    bump for prettiness can't afford it
  17. The first bid was mine. Whatever, I'm not going up against people here for it. WPD can have it.
  18. [quote name='djjackherer' timestamp='1333390368' post='1601078'] I mean come on !!!

  19. Bought a string (last of the big spenders, me . Seamless transaction, as ever. I have no hesitation in dealing with Mel. thanks Mike
  20. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1333201541' post='1598673'] What about this? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIPINTO-BELVEDERE-STANDARD-BASS-plus-DiPinto-Gigbag-/300687154130?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item460259dbd2"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item460259dbd2[/url] Daft price so far & looks quite cool IMO.

  21. I bought a Gramma Pad from Ross. Good comms despite his illness, all went well. No hesitation in dealing with him again. Cheers!
  22. I bought his SB301. He was very tolerant of my ineptness with the bass I'd brought hoping to trade. Nice guy; recommended. Thanks Ian
