i think il wait until bassmerchant have them back in stock rather than paying an extra £50 for being impatient!

[quote name='budget bassist' post='304430' date='Oct 11 2008, 03:44 PM']I just don't understand why they can't just put a bit more time and effort into them, the shapes are a bit of an acquired taste and i'm sure somebody would like them, but why on earth they can't put a decent bridge on there so that you can set the intonation and put some metal ferrules into the string holes so you don't f*** the wood up is completely beyond me. And for a custom 'luthier', and i use the word very loosely, you'd think he'd take a bit more care with actually crafting the bodies, every single wishbass i've seen looks like it's been done with a chisel, sharp edges everywhere, nothing looks even and like it's been done properly, they're just an absolute shambles.[/quote] i think your completly missing the point check the guy's ebay feedback, he has many happy customers

haha warwick tried to be like fender wheres warwickhunt

i pride myself on ALWAYS wanting to play bass, never even considering another instrument, pity it took me til i was 18 before actually going out and buying a bass, best thing i ever did though

difficult for me to say what is good about myself rather than the easier what is bad! but meh.. Good (i guess): Can learn songs by ear pretty quick at learning new lines have quite a decent memory play decent agressive slap bass (think flea rather than wooten) have a reasonably flexible left hand for fretting good at keeping time (bit of a must really!) have the pleasure of having a truly awesome, special bass completly self taught, and consequently have my own technique Bad (easy really): terrible with a pick, unless its slow downstrokes can't tap can't read music well at all have fairly limited theory knowledge don't know many techniques, kinda limited to fingering and basic slapping struggle with chords can only finger with 2 fingers (i really wanna be able to use 3) can go from being really tight one day to being sloppy as a beer and curry sh*t the next the worst: not in a band due to uni overcrowding my social time

well thats great, if the leader is a twat im sure me n the other bar staff can figure out some nice little pranks to make him look like a nob on stage

anyone seen these? they any good?? supposed to be 'thebest in the country', we have them playing at our bar next wednesday, havnt sold too many tickets as of yet, just wondering what to expect

they are brilliant, brilliant basses, i had a 6 string, and it was by far the lightest and easiest 6 string id ever played

wow nice trade!!!!! lovely looking bass

one of the main reasons why i own a stingray and love them is because the pickup position is exactly where i like to play i love the p bass sound, but iv always struggled as i cant anchor my thumb where i want to

my my, that is f*** ugly would still love to try it though

nice little selection of basses you seem to have there

nice intro, welcome!

i think just getting a strap that doesnt slide around would do just fine my hudson 6 string i owned had quite heavy neck dive, the body was very small and light and it had a 6 string neck...go figure, but i had a nice wide non slip strap and it never bothered me, didnt move i hate slippy straps anyways, just annoying neck dive or no neck dive
