Hi all, At work I like to browse the site from time to time during the day (as one does ) a: to keep up-to-date with what's going on in the world of BC (like this new look for example) b: to relieve the tedium of being stuck in an office for 8 hours and c: to check out the BC marketplace While at work I tried to send a PM to a member today on three separate occasions but failed each time. Going by what I could figure out you hover the cursor over the person’s ID, you’re then presented with a couple of options, one being ‘Send Message’, so you click on this and I assume are presented with a PM box? The first two parts are fine but when I click on the ‘Send Message’ option nothing happens. I can only assume it has something to do with the New-Look site coupled with fact we're eons behind everyone else in terms of browsers and are still using outdated IE6. Prior to the update I never had any problems while at work so can anyone confirm that IE6 is no longer supported or could the problem lie elsewhere? Cheers, Ian

I bought one of these off e-bay a while back and yes, it was complete 'stool' in every respect. The tracking was just woeful if you played anything but one sustained note. I ended up PX-ing it along with a Boss AW-3 (which was also rubbish) against an MXR M82. Along with Mr. Academy I'm interested in trying one of those MarkBass Synths too.

Depending on what head I use (one has two outputs, the other has one) I can either take one cable (top notch OBBM ones I may add!) for each cab or daisy-chain them. Never had a problem with either way.

I spent £1000 on my '75 RI Jazz a couple of years ago and I had Chris Larkin build me a fretless 4 in 1989 which cost me in the region of a grand. Not sure what that equates to in today's money but it'd be more than £1600. I want a '69 Jazz (my birth year) and all depending on the condition of it, I suppose I'd be willing to pay up to somewhere in the region of £3k

Very nice! Cant beat natural wood and the grain in the wood you've used is stunning!

Yes & no! I have three fretless - a custom Larkin Reacter 4B I had built in 1989 (my avatar) which doesn't get nearly as much use as it used to or ought to, a modified Squier VM fretless that gets played constantly and a cheap crappy Stagg BC300FL I bought on a whim for £60 that never gets used. Ever! As for an acoustic, I'd love one but don't have the money to spend on a decent one.

He's gone and put the wrong pics up on his ad. Here's the same pics on a different auction he has: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HARLEY-1450-FSXT-SOFTAIL-CLUTCH-GEARBOX-POINTS-COVER-ET-/170677111889?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item27bd260c51"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HARLEY-1450-FSXT...=item27bd260c51[/url]

Sounds like an epic trip you have planned there! As you're gona be crossing the States I can't urge you enough to go check out the Southern States especially Virginia, Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky & Georgia. First time I went over in 2008 I fell in love with the people and the place (I was given the title of 'Honorary Redneck' and a John Deere cap hence the name JohnDeereJack!) When I was over I bought a cheap acoustic guitar just for sitting in jam sessions (there are PLENTY around) and something called a GripMaster to keep my fingers limber for the almost four weeks I was without a bass. [attachment=86192:51014700.jpg] They come in different strengths and I seriously can't extoll the virtues of these devices enough. Unfortunately I'm not gona make the States this year but enjoy your trip mate, I'm totally jealous.

Apologies, I couldn't narrow it down to just one 1. Lemmy 2. Aston Barrett 3. Jerry Jemmott 4. Duck Dunn 5. Les Claypool

Same person that's selling this one: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=147046"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=147046[/url]

Bought a gold anodized P bass scratchplate from Gavin. Great price and exactly as described. Deal with him in confidence. Cheers man!

Good price? That was a steal!

Hi folks, I'm also in the market for a good octave pedal for a new Electro/Dance venture and was leaning towards either the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe or Boss OC-3. The reason being I can actually try these two out. I see there's plenty of positive feedback for the Boss OC-2 (I had one of these waaaay back in the day but never really got along with it) along with the EBS Octabass and the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe but no mention of the current Boss offering - the OC-3. Is it that bad a pedal or is it because there are better options out there? Do you guys have any feedback/suggestions regarding the Boss OC-3 v MXR BOD? Thanks

[quote name='Fat Rich' post='1308004' date='Jul 18 2011, 03:56 PM']Interesting stuff, Wikipedia says it doesn't sound like any tonewoods.... so how does it sound?[/quote] It's really quite bright actually. A lot brighter in tone than my Jazz (ash/maple) or my active fretless Larkin Reacter (mahogany/ebony) That may be because of the Luthite body & Ebanol board, the Bart pup & circutry or a combination of all but like Lfalex mentioned it doesn't really have an obvious tone unlike, for example, the aforementioned mahogany body/ebony board combo. Either way I like it for both looks and sound and it suited the style of music I was playing at the time.

The body of my Cort Curbow 5 string is made of finest Luthite! Luthite - Sounds like it could take down a Superhero at 200 yards! [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luthite"]Luthite on Wikipedia[/url]

My late 80's custom Larkin Reacter fretless 4B (the one in my avatar) My 75RI Jazz and 57RI P could be replaced easily enough but getting another Larkin built would cost an arm and a leg
