Kev

iv popped them an email, thanks

as title says really i think the basses colour is candy red, but not definate How would i go about finishin the headstock in the same colour? would i have to sand down first, or could i just spray over and laquer again? not sure if im gunna do it, as its an expensive neck to f*** up, but just interested if anyone would be prepared to do this for me actually, id be interested in how much you would charge

didnt u say somethin like that on the last page as well? if you dont like the thread, dont participate in it

[quote name='jono b' post='187428' date='Apr 28 2008, 05:59 PM']That's basically all that constitute Flea's basslines, speed and slap technique. He's not very melodic, so why does his lack of theory make his lines more impressive?[/quote] wow, you dont know much by flea at all, do you?

i like that board

theory to play fast? who on earth suggested you did?

[quote name='gafbass02' post='186968' date='Apr 28 2008, 08:00 AM']Yup, dull, but def the best starting point, i wont go anywhere without compression![/quote] i totally disagree, i don't see how compression is the best starting point for someone wanting to experiment with effects

if youv got a cheap bass to mod it up, go for it! i bought a westfield jazz off the forum couple of weeks back for £50, iv spent another £35 on it and its sounding and looking pretty great now!

theres a lot of negativity, arnt they quite expensive too?

he has a point though

have to say, watchin john play bass is quite painful but kudos to flea's trumpet playin then, seemed very decent

17? i thought you were older for some reason

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='186857' date='Apr 27 2008, 11:00 PM']????? yeah he does[/quote] how so? in comparisson to some of the other bassists mentioned? and ye, far as i know flea knows practically no theory, which makes some of his basslines seem even more impressive if it was done without theory, which i know for certain that all pre bssm at least stuff was

Torque T2001EB eh? first person iv met who's owned a torque T series amp other than myself! iv progressed onto trace elliot now though id be happy to give the torque a home though if its no use to you!

as always, i recommend not having a tutor, as youl end up learning their style rather than developing your own, plenty of online lessons n videos to tell you if your going wrong however welcome anyways!

hey dude, nice to see a good introduction

hey man get the amp sorted!

flea is a brilliant bassist, but he certainly does not see himself as being one of the best. he's just a guy doin what he loves, and couldnt care less what other musicians thought of him. its a shame that he is hyped up to be the best, but then again, i far prefer his playin to the likes of wootnen, he doesnt overcomplicate thing, and has wrote some superb, if not simple bass lines

iv got a feeling alot of pickle pie B's are gunna be sold, it does sound quite supreme to anythin else iv heard in a long while

higgie id like to have sex with your DJ4

doesnt sound too shabby at all
