    Really sorry for your loss! Must be gutting In terms of basses, take a look at G&L maybe? I recently picked up a USA L2500 and it's great The Sandberg Basic is a pretty cool Stingray-esque bass too. But if your heart's set on a Stingray, get a Stingray!

    This envelope filter has got to be one of the most versatile out there, and it sounds ace. This thing can accomplish pretty much any envelope filter sound, with a foot-switchable fuzz/distortion, two outputs for dry/wet signal and an expression pedal input to turn it into the world's most versatile wah! However, as much as I love it, I just can't justify it at the moment as there isn't really an application for it in the music I'm playing. I bought it off here a couple off months ago - it's in mint condition but lacking the original box/power supply etc - just the pedal itself. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrmrA0LwEUk[/media] In terms of trades I'm really looking for an EQ/DI or a good overdrive - but I'm open to anything, not necessarily just pedals! Trade value of around £60-80? Cheers!

    [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1360224832' post='1966845'] Ben, are you sure this sums up how you play? To me it sounds like you answered the question: Two albums that you think have great bass playing. I often am wrong though, and understand that. best, bert [/quote] Sorry, I meant as in those are the players I take most of my influence from, so I guess if I were to sound similar to anyone it'd be them as I try to incorporate their approach to bass playing into my own. The two bands I mainly play in are very different in style, one's more moody and one's a bit more rocky Sorry if I've done it wrong! My brain wasn't running at full capacity yesterday

    In Rainbows by Radiohead. To me Colin Greenwood's a great bassist who fits in perfectly and holds it together with sometimes only relatively simple lines whilst still being expressive and just sounding good. And for rockier moments Waiting For The Punchline by Extreme. Great sound.

    I've just picked up a USA G&L L2500. Hands down best sounding bass I have ever played in my life. The G&L MFD pick-ups are great! I guess they don't really make huge numbers of instruments (compared to other big name manufacturers anyway) and they're not promoted all that well - website is a bit outdated for one. Great stuff though. The Comanche guitar they do is ace too.

    Brilliant delay - very versatile with that pristine TC sound. In very good condition - has been used/stepped on over the years so there are of course the usual few little marks etc. Comes with box and manual etc. Cheers!

    I got a TC Electronic RH450 soft-case for my Ampeg PF-500 - sounds a bit illogical but it fits perfectly! Visual Sound One-Spot power supply for all three of me pedals (9v at 1700mA!) Some nice Elacin ear plugs for general use An Ultimate guitar/bass/instrument stand Hurrah for big families Oh and tomorrow I'm picking up a G&L L2500 in a Basschat trade! Merry merry Christmas

    I started off playing piano for about eight years before anything else, and whilst I really enjoyed playing it solo, just because it sounds pretty, I never really got it in a band context. I always found the rhythm/bass side more interesting, love a good groove me, so bass is just naturally where I feel I 'fit in' as a musician. I still play piano and there are MANY guitars around the house so I can do a bit of that too. Also handy on synths/producing etc. But bass is just where I feel at home and where I feel I can contribute best to music.

    I've never played a bad Yamaha, and the RBX170 is a great example of a starter bass - my friend's had one for a while - nice and simple but well put together. I'd go for it

    Cheers guys! Love Basschat! I think on that note I'll bite the bullet and see how it works out - I loved the sound and feel of them on my friend's Precision bass, so I imagine they'll sound pretty ace on a $$ Corvette!

    Evening Bit of a random one. I've got a 5-string Warwick with the two-piece bridge and the common problem with B-strings not fitting! Had to switch from D'Addario Pro Steels to Warwick Black Label when I got the bass - luckily I really like the Warwick strings so it was never that big a deal... BUT I really want to give these D'Addario Chromes a go. Unlike the Pro Steels the Chromes have silk either end so I'm hoping they might fit... just wondering if anyone with a 5-string Warwick has any experience of such strings etc before I spend £45? Cheers! Ben

    I'm sure it's a great P bass though. Like all the other ones.

    [quote name='ped' timestamp='1350943966' post='1845530'] I had one of these. Really cool piece of kit. I'd have one on my current bass but there's no room! I bought mine directly from their site and even though it's a bit expensive and a piece of foam works pretty much just as well, it's much quicker and a nicely engineered solution [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/Vigiers%20and%20Bacchus/P7010684p.jpg[/IMG] They get my thumbs up! [/quote] Cool, thanks loads! I'll drop them an enquiry through that site then Whatever made you get rid of that Jazz, by the way!?

    [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1350937886' post='1845404'] I wish Fender still did their's on jazzes ala Jaco etc [/quote] Yep, I don't get why they stopped making those?

    I've seen a couple of people have these things installed and they look great! I was just wondering where you can get them from? These things 'ere! I know I've taken this photo from supposedly the website of the guys who make them [url="http://www.bassmute.com/bassmute/bm_mainframe.html"](here) [/url]but it looks very out-dated and I can't find a way of purchasing them (without sending my home address etc for just an enquiry) Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers!
