[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1432677763' post='2783953'] I love this place. A guy asks for a "cheap but decent" bass and we come up with Sadowsky and ACG [/quote] To be fair I never really mentioned Sadowsky as one to buy, merely that I liked the one I played a while back. ACG's occasionally come up for sale on here for the same price as US Fenders so not super expensive really. Plus when I read about the Stingray I was assuming around that value

What they said ^^

Fender Tour with the Fender All-Star Band
Cameronj279 replied to skej21's topic in General Discussion
Booked in for the Glasgow one too. Not remotely interested in Fenders but the event itself seems quite interesting. If anything it gets me out the house for once! -
I have to say the Sadowsky I played was one of the 24fret models and played and sounded superb but the B string let it down. If I was intending to tune it E-C however it would have been the ideal Jazz for me really! Definitely worth giving as much basses a shot as you can. I love the new Ibanez Prestige basses, super versatile and feel great. ACG are also excellent and super versatile.

Personally I've never tried a Jazz 5er that didn't have a god awful B string. I know some exist but I've never played one (tried Fender, Sadowsky etc). Maybe buying a bass on here is worth a punt? Try it out in band situations with your own gear etc and If you don't like it sell it on for little/no loss.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1432322097' post='2780554'] What a lovely pair... I've been gasing for an uber spec this week... [/quote] and rightfully so. They're something special. Looking great EAD. Do like the recurve a lot.
-
Another bump. -
[quote name='blue' timestamp='1432454845' post='2781510'] There is still no reason for a 21 year old that doesn't know what an electric guitar is to get up in my face and make a mock of me while I'm trying to make a living. blue [/quote] In my (admittedly limited) experience, young audience members are fine and it's the older ones who have the confidence to be an asshole. Had several issues with drunken middle age blokes.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1432428986' post='2781438'] I'm currently playing the best bass I've owned, so I'm content. [/quote] I'm in this camp at the moment since getting my ACG. Wouldn't mind a fretless though...must snap out of that train of thought.

Warwick thumb? Tiny bodies on them. bit of neck dive however the sound makes up for it.
-
Can't say I've ever used the strap for mine. Does seem like it'd get in the way a bit though.

Oh crap, I think I might be a drummer after all
Cameronj279 replied to mrtcat's topic in General Discussion
Every chance I get during rehearsals (generally the drummers fag break) I always have a go on the kit and I love it. Would love to actually learn how to play them some day. -
Not my thing aesthetically but looking forward to hearing sound clips!
-
I have a decent grasp of most things (weirdly I find myself using double thumb as a standard picking technique quite often). But I struggle with any form of walking bassline and I can't say I'm great at reggae style laid back lines. With practice I'm sure I could manage though.
-
Still here May consider a compressor pedal. still not certain on that though.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1432123631' post='2778325'] Yes, absolutely disgraceful. I will have some new pics to share later on... [/quote] Cheers chaps! Look forward to them!
-
Suppose I can revive this thread for a bit. Also. This is my 1000th post
-
Super easy deal with Dean...actually probably my quickest sale on here! Happily deal with Dean again. Cheers for sending some pics of your Shuker course build bass too

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1431984025' post='2777058'] Are you sure that was what he/she said? Lovely bass in all seriousness. Will confess to lusting after an Uber spec ACG after playing the blue ART finish Recurve, like Eude said great the way every note is so well defined. [/quote] I imagine so. I'm used to being called a tool so I usually recognise that phrase
-
I'd agree with you there. Also find that because of that every nuance in your playing is audible. Which if anything I find will help me even out my playing and be more critical of it, which is a good thing for me at least!
-
[quote name='eude' timestamp='1431946935' post='2776396'] Complete and utter Filth! I'm extremely jealous of course. Congrats mate. How're you enjoying those amazing pickups? Eude [/quote] Loving them so far. Haven't had too much of a chance to play with it at volume but punchy as a punchy thing so far but can be dialled to a smooth thump with ease. The neck is the thing I'm most impressed by I think. Just plays effortlessly
-
I got this case two days ago so it's as near as makes no difference brand new (says me of course). Reason for selling it is that I already have a Mono Vertigo case and I prefer that case if I'm honest (although the M80 has more storage and looks considerably nicer IMO). These seem to go for around the £150 mark (Amazon) so £120 posted seems reasonable and around the going rate (let me know if I'm wrong of course!) I'm just going to post a link to the specs from the Mono website as there is too much to copy/paste on here and keep the post legible. [url="http://monocreators.com/single-electric-bass/#dimensions"]http://monocreators....ass/#dimensions[/url] Great cases but I just have no need or space for it. £120 posted (not sure how I'd go about posting but I can work it out!) Possible trades +/- cash as appropriate : Zoom B3 Delay pedals Octave pedals Any questions just ask Cameron

I can't find much information about this (and I'm totally clueless so looking at the thing to get more information means nothing to me). All I can be sure of is that it's a John East SPM-02 I'm sure if you pop John East a message he'll be able to tell you all you need to know! There's a lot more info on Johns website although none of it makes sense to me in all honesty! [url="http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/all-products/spm-02-modules.html"]http://www.east-uk.c...02-modules.html[/url] This comes boxed and does not contain any of the knobs. Sold for £45 posted -
The board really is something else. I love the two tone effect it has, really goes with the curves of the body* * I could just be making things up for during my while staring at it.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1431801613' post='2775182'] That whole bass looks like lava!! Very powerful in the right hands though! [/quote] I always liked how the fretboard wood flowed up the neck, does look a bit fiery! and that was my thoughts exactly, given enough time spent with it it'll be a great all round tool
