  1. Just bought an EBS unichorus from Basstard; arrived uber quickly and had really clear communication throughout. He gave me the option of a bank transfer which was absolutely kosher and 100% safe. Top bloke and all round good egg. He obviously looks after his kit too.
  2. [quote name='urb' post='1080083' date='Jan 6 2011, 05:40 PM']Cool man - if you like the Metheny stuff then a natural successor to him were EST - sadly the pianist Esbjorn Sevensson tragically died in 2008 - but one of my fave albums from them is [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seven-Days-Falling-Esbjorn-Svensson/dp/B0000APYOC"]Seven Days of Falling[/url] - this song is particularly awesome - check the distorto bass solo towards the end: M[/quote] Just bought this album on the strength of the one track. Can't wait to dig a little deeper. "Album of the week" award goes to [i]Giant Steps[/i] - simply staggering music.

    NBD!!!!!

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1181175' date='Mar 29 2011, 06:53 PM']Much better than an iPhone, nice one.[/quote] Yeah, there's no app for that!
  4. Photo bump
  5. I've got flats on mine, and prefer to use a quality DI. I once had a BBC engineer completely ham-fist it by micing it up with an inappropriate mic. I was told "we don't use DIs". Sounded awful.
  6. "This bass has never been gigged, only ever played at home (a smoke free one, not very rock and roll. I know)." Where does this chap live? Baghdad?
  7. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  8. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1179011' date='Mar 27 2011, 11:57 PM']...it'll give 'em more time to daydream about all the money they're going to get from extortionate ticket prices. mumblemumblemumble[/quote] Yeah, not bought one either. Spent the money on an EBS pedal instead.
  9. ooh mr Lee, do behave!
  10. [quote name='Blademan_98' post='1178631' date='Mar 27 2011, 06:32 PM'] mine does that too (I thought it was broken!)[/quote] but to be fair, I've listened to more U2 than Mark King... there's a lesson there somewhere.
  11. I did the bass mod (.68uf cap i think) and the TB mod by removing the buffer and replacing the switch. I also did the vocal mod, but used a variable resistor instead of a fixed one. This meant drilling a hole in the case, but I only paid £20 for it eBay.
  12. Fair enough. Every boy needs a hobby...
  13. It's Jaco's P Bass from that bloke on eBay...
  14. [quote name='Clarky' post='1176552' date='Mar 25 2011, 09:03 PM']Oi! Laeticia, get out of bed. I have to empty my double bass [attachment=75734:laetitia_casta_5.jpg][/quote] It took you 3 minutes to post this reply? what [i]have[/i] you been looking at on the internet?
  15. Price drop bump.
  16. [quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='1178597' date='Mar 27 2011, 06:03 PM']What the hell is that ?[/quote] Les Claypool's "rainbow bass" made by Carl Thompson. G.A.S.
  17. I wouldn't want one though, they only do 'dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum' for 30 years.
  18. I only want one choice, this: [attachment=75900:Rainbowpics.jpg] Mmmmmmm.
  19. pre-bay bump.
  20. [quote name='GarethFlatlands' post='1176656' date='Mar 25 2011, 10:32 PM'][url="http://www.wah-wah.co.uk/"]http://www.wah-wah.co.uk/[/url] True Bypass and circuit mods on there under DIY resources. Not tried any of them but I've got a standard guitar cry baby sitting around doing nothing.[/quote] I've done the majority of mods on this site and they are all kosher. I've TB'ed and revoiced my guitar wah following these instructions and can vouch for them.

    PRS

    Not for me. It's a real 'guard's parcel' and has more knobs than an estate agents convention. I'll pass.
  22. A famous bass player once told me "if you're thinkin', it's stinkin'" I reckon he was right.
  23. Sorry, I didn't really answer your question. I'd personally do both.
  24. The valves will colour the sound in a valve pre. With the exception of a 'tuner out' all of the outputs will be 'valve coloured'. What you won't get with valve pre's (DI outs etc...) is the output transformer working its mojo on your sound - you'll need to mic up for this.
  25. A small threat board? No good to me, I like LARGE threat boards! My basses have things like " I'm a punch you in the throat and shank ya!" engraved between the frets. I wouldn't play a bass that didn't have the threat of physical violence (or similar) somewhere on it. I'll stop now.
