  1. Can't say for ABZ but it's not as thin as the AB1 neck although it's still a relatively thin neck. Very comfortable and doesn't feel like you're holding onto a big plank. If you're anywhere near Glasgow/Lanarkshire at any point you're welcome to try mine.
  2. When I get offered a bass in a trade for way less than I'm asking I just say no thanks. When I see an ad elsewhere that's above New price or just wildly unrealistic I sometimes send a polite message. More often than not they just didn't bother researching it.
  3. Bought some straplocks from Simon. Great guy to deal with, cheers again
  4. I would go for it. As much as I love Warwick basses, the MEC preamps arent great (IMO). The East pre would only improve it. I can't see if really taking away any of the core tone either. Although I could be wrong. only one way to find out!

  6. I haven't read the comments here as I can't find the arsedness but I'll respond to the original post. I have what I would consider to be rather high end equipment (everything except a cab) and I don't think for a second that anybody but me cares what I'm using -despite being asked at almost every gig I play-. My reason for having them is just that I want to basically. I get more enjoyment from playing my ACG or Dingwall than I get from other basses but nobody really cares about that! I have a lot of the gear and will be the first one to admit that I have no idea! I'm not a particularly great player in any aspect but I like it
  7. California by Mr Bungle. Incredible and weird album. Fantastic from start to finish in my books.
  8. Still unable to attach pictures on here. Happy to email them to anybody interested
  9. For some reason photobucket isn't letting me add photos bump
  10. How do you know they are non-musicians?
  11. [quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1440478934' post='2851067'] How much does that cost? [/quote] £4
  12. Sir Dukes always a good option. Has groove and the unison part is fairly flashy. Although as far as 'impressing non-musicians' goes. Even the most basic of slap stuff seems to impress so many people.
  13. I think Delano also make pickup casings to order as well.
  14. [size=3][color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Let's keep this description simple as possible. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pros - Super thin neck, lots of tonal options, upgraded pickups (Dimarzios bridge and neck), lightweight, looks rather pretty, cheap. *comes with gigbag*[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cons - *gig bag has seen better days*, scratches on finish that are only really noticeable when in the right light, small dent in the back of the neck (Doesn't affect it and not in a place I've never noticed whilst playing). Could do with new strings.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Looking for £175 as it's what I paid for it. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Trades - a delay pedal, Darkglass B7K, Darkglass Super Symmetry, Aguilar TLC Compressor, MXR Bass compressor or a bass cabinet [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]May consider other bass related gear though.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#141823]Pics in post No.[/color][/font] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Can post for the cost of it. [/font][/color][/size]
  15. Looks like spalted maple to me.
  16. Haven't read the replies because I'm exceedingly lazy but if it was me I'd just be asking the singer to put them in his car. Makes no sense at all to ask you do to it if your car is full and his is empty.
  17. Only done 3 attempts but got 860. Don't think that's too bad really considering I almost never play with a metronome (I am however going to start using one...so I tell myself.) Edit : Slightly addictive this. about 15 goes I'm now upto 900 on the dot
  18. Bump. Keep forgetting to add a photo.
  19. As much as I love Wal basses I do agree the headstocks are less than pleasing to the eye. Still want one right enough.
  20. I'd take it as a compliment however I can't take compliments so I'd probably end up looking offended when I responded.
  21. I'm happy to err...help you with that Bill Bailey ticket situation...
  22. So following on from the recent 'glad I'm not sensitive' thread I've noticed a recurring theme where so many people seem to be in bands where other members cannot take constructive criticism or don't appreciate the role of every band member. I guess I'm lucky that in the band I'm in we've all agreed to be 100% honest when it comes to any issues we may have (generally when writing new songs) and we all take and give criticism with no hard feelings. I suppose none of us having an ego is a big help with that. My main question is just why do people stay in bands with people who don't seem to be worth the time and effort?
  23. I'm feeling quite lucky I don't have any people like that in my band. Everybody in it seems to play guitar, bass and drums to a fairly decent standard. Our drummer is actually a bassist originally so everybody knows how important each aspect is which is useful. If I were you I would have left long ago. I certainly wouldn't be carrying their gear everywhere.
  24. [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1439751710' post='2845495'] It's that lemony smell, isn't it? [/quote] I only done the fretboard every 2 months or so (unless it looked like it needed it) but it was partly the lemony smell and the fact that I liked to pretend to myself I was doing something productive those days!
  25. I cant say I clean my bass after every rehearsal and gig but I do like to keep it clean, give it a wipe down every time it's looking like it needs it. Back when I had a Warwick which could be waxed I generally done that once every fortnight or so but it was mainly just because I enjoyed doing it.
