Well atleast that means there's only one of the bloody things!

Now up on FB

Welcome back Can you keep a cheap bass at the office to play on your lunch breaks? Create a playlist of songs where they really make you WANT to play bass. Technically speaking you don't need a bass in your hands to practice either

Votings up started doing it friday and then stuff kinda went... um haywire to say the least and i forgot lol

Late entries are fine. Voting up today :-)

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1369405282' post='2088873'] Honest question, if turning everything up full on an amp will kill it, surely that's really rubbish design? Why have parameters you can't use? [/quote] I don't know if it will kill my amp doing that but it WILL kill my cab (1000w going into 750w cab)

Nice Clarky Also thanks for the advice with the London gigs! Finally got the go ahead from the band to start bugging folk so that's on my list for next week

[quote name='DogHammer' timestamp='1369394626' post='2088669'] Yeah but then, am I the a-hole who stops the next band playing because their bassist doesn't have an amp? I think next time I may unplug and take the cable with me.... Oh actually come to think of it, he used my jack cable that was there too. I should take that away too next time. [/quote] Ask yourself, why don't they have there amp with them? Are they assuming someone will lend their rig (which cost them money) for free? Sod that... If they want to rent it off of me I might consider that... MAYBE! But they still wouldn't be allowed to touch the controls. I'm not being an a*hole I'm protecting my gear

You're not being tight at all, I would've told them no Course, I usually unplug at the wall to stop anyone messing around with it anyway

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1369393116' post='2088648'] change the body and headstock shape too cos they look mingin, body's a bit thin too wouldn't you say? [/quote] The looks I don't mind but I think it like it in some kind of blue burst that didn't rub off.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1369392878' post='2088639'] ...and build a Rickenbacker clone. It'd probably be better too! [/quote] I would not condone such a thing... Without adding some decent contours, taking away the parrallel strings, changing the bridge, changing the neck profile and possibly changing the pickups (undecided there)

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1369362396' post='2088406'] Good swap! [i] kerr Tish......[/i] [/quote]

[quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1369389999' post='2088603'] [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][sup]The Mods are spot on. Fighting talk’s all well and good, but would anyone REALLY (and personally) risk an injunction just to prove a point about (someone else’s) copyright infringement? I bloody wouldn’t. Best to calmly cease and desist as requested, have a quiet laugh about corporate paranoia, and put our money elsewhere. If I’d saved up enough for a real ric, I’d buy another Yamaha 2024. [/sup][/font][/size] [/quote] If I saved enough for a Rick I'd go custom build... Oh wait! I did and got change

Doesn't seem to turn up on google searches

HJ, feel free to change your signature text to white just to really help them

I still prefer the Tron soundtrack. When I'm sat here programming it don't half make me feel epic

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1369291720' post='2087296'] Still love the look of them though. [/quote] I wonder if this is why they're protecting the looks so... vehemently. Having tried 5 ricks and only one to me seemed like a good bass (not great but good) are they relying on sales based strongly on appearance rather than functionality?

Probably a lot quicker now

No worries we're all new sometime. It probably doesn't help that I make it up as I go along

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1369211779' post='2086226'] Never tell them when it's going up, especially when you are bound not to do it til sunday at least. [/quote] I like being unpredictable, keeps everyone guessing I'll tell everyone friday but... maybe it'll be thursday! Or friday morning or maybe... friday night. Who knows?! Well it won't be friday night, I'm out having a curry

I do believe a few legal type conversations have been had on the subject but I know very little about it. Comparing ebay to basschat is maybe a little much though, ebay are currently worth £71Bn

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1369210698' post='2086207'] Oh! So I could have time to get a mess with my track & maybe improve it? [/quote] No! Ofcourse you have mate

[quote name='bob_pickard' timestamp='1369210580' post='2086206'] Start a poll and ask I suppose would be the solution - Options Carry on as suggested by Rickenbacker (i.e no copies photos etc) Stop all RB like photos from the site Stop all RB content from the site [/quote] There would be more options that I can think of at current Stop all RB content on the site Stop all RB like sales on the site Stop all RB copy content on the site Stop all RB like photos in sales on the site Stop all RB copy photos on the site Stop all RB copy photos in sales on the site (very high maintenance with this) Unfortunately a lot of thought will have to go into this in the long run. We're currently deciding how we are going to decide though
