[quote name='nash' post='40169' date='Aug 1 2007, 06:52 PM']my ultimate p-bass [/quote] Stick some ash trays on it and its not far off. you don't like a p bass neck?

I've been given a set of elites standard gauge long scale strings, will these fit a Fender Jazz? i have a feeling that they could be too long even if they are cut down, thanks.

The seller of this Stingray describes it as a one off, not being up on ray's what makes it a one off? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/musicman-stingray-bass-guitar_W0QQitemZ270149331506QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/musicman-stingray-ba...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

The comment i get is you've only got four string you have the easy job, . Yeah thats right is my usual reply.

I'm sure this has been on ebay before, i don't think it sold.

Iv'e been watching this and wondering whether it would make a project or not, i didn't think there would be much compitition and i was right. Don't know if it was Japanese, i thought it could be a Marlin.

Oh well, it's gone now, what do think?

Yeah seems ok for me now.

Plectrum. The guitarist in the band i'm in (it's his band, he picks the songs, gets the gigs, organises practises etc) insisted i play with a plec because it suited the songs we do.

Nice!, as Louis Balfour would say

The Wiki looks good. I shall be hitting the donations button soon. Monthly pay blows

A bass is a tool to do the job - it shouldn't be a struggle to play a bass with a neck not suited to you for the sake of tone. Well said.

This 71 Framus SG style is for sale at a BIN of $5.700.00 Hardly been used. display only. yet the guy that is selling it apoliges for the poor pics because he has taken them with his cell phone, like you do!

[quote name='mikeh' post='34339' date='Jul 19 2007, 08:07 PM']Thinking about it!! Basically Im sick of keyboard players being so rare!!! And the ones you find either dont turn up when promised or turn up and do a 'Phoenix Nights' type audition, inc playing the death march to impress us!!![/quote] So they are in short supply in your neck of the woods also, we had a brilliant k/player turn at an audition after advertizing in the loot, why the hell he turned up i don't know, he was already in a covers band that did weddings and corperate gigs so he was getting the money. and he was also backing a C/W singer that he backed on an album. after half an hour we thought he's perfect. he then emailed us a couple of days later saying he did'nt think he could fit us in he wasted our time really. the only other reply we had to our advert was some women asking if we could play at her sons birthday party sorry to go off topic. i was a bit annoyed.

I can't recall seeing a fretless 4003 before, I wonder how much this will go for. [url="http://cgi.ebay.ca/RICKENBACKER-FRETLESS-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ230153769045QQihZ013QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZiewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.ca/RICKENBACKER-FRETLESS-B...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

[quote name='barneythedog' post='35100' date='Jul 21 2007, 07:43 AM']Oops. yup, same one sorry And I NO clue what wrong with the link[/quote] We seem to be having trouble with ebay links lately. anything to do with Basschat?

I can't help with the neck fit sorry, but i had an Encore pbass back in the seventies, a burst with a tort guard and it played like a dream. a lovely bass, i basically swopped it for a velvet jacket (about £30) when i gave up playing. wish i had it now.

[quote name='phatmonkey' post='34880' date='Jul 20 2007, 06:26 PM']In terms of internet forums, 1000 members isn't really that impressive. Not sure if the press would take any interest?[/quote] What about featuring naked wimmen playing bass. or naked wimmen playing bass drinking beer? it might get us noticed. just a thought.

[quote name='johnakay' post='32704' date='Jul 16 2007, 07:24 PM']I remember seeing a guy on you tube ,playing a bass guitar(4 string) with a tremolo.and he sounded really nice.of course he had lighter strings on.jet harris had one on his bass but 6 strings. the thing is I like to know is can you buy them?I know what do you want them for? well I'd like to try something different.[/quote] Bloodaxe may be the guy on here to ask. he brought an Aria to the midlands bass bash, it sounded quite effective here's a pic, it's the one on the left [attachment=1206:P1010399.jpg]

Oh and i forgot to mention N I B by Black Sabbath.

There's the obvious one. Brown eyed girl, van morrison Joe cockers with a little help from my friends. Golden earing Radar love. Money, pink Floyd A town called malice. the Jam

The only thing i have left from the seventies is the curly lead which is still going strong.
