The Burpster

Very clever and well executed design..... Pass on my compliments......

I have a BR and use it loads..... I did read on the Boss website somewhere in the specs (I think) that it can only manage 1gig of memory as it cannot process any more space..... It does benefit from a quick 1Gig card tho' And to be honest you can get a lot of stuff on 1 gig if you try.

The Beedster opened our eyes to this chap 'the reclaim man' ....... VERY poor descriptive and comms and comes across as a complete arrogant buffoon..... However one of our members has bought from him and had a good deal, another did and felt aggrieved...... Make your own mind up, if you dont like it, avoid it.....

It probably represents a word in Canton or similar Eastern dialect..... and may mean something like.... 1. I'm a bass player and I'm hung like a donkey..... 2. I have to play with these clowns all night???? 3. 100% pure cotton 4. Noddles with black bean sauce and waterchestnuts... 5. I've had jiggy- jig with your daughter Oh the list is endelss........

Urrrm Barney, I believe we've already covered that above........ Thanks for the corroboration tho'..

I was going to sell mine on a couple of months ago, but it's kind of gotten a new lease of life in the last few weeks. It's a great bass and yards better than those Dean models. Yards I tell you! [url="http://www.waterstoneguitars.com"]www.waterstoneguitars.com[/url] Cheers P x[/quote] Oh dear, I've just had a very embarassing but not entirely unpleasent misshap in my undergarments!!! Do they play as good as they look...? And 32" scale model as well? that just Oooooozes MoJo!! :wub:

Hey Hammy, who you callin' eclectic?

Eddie, I'm not sure I'd use Harley Benton stuff to put a fire out..... let alone but it of the 'bay.........! (I'm sure thats' grossly unfair, but its my opinin and I'm happy with it!)

[quote name='stewblack' post='31736' date='Jul 14 2007, 01:12 PM']I thought it was pricey and a one trick pony.[/quote] I say, thats a bit harsh.... Dean, it seems are catering pretty much solely to the Metal end of the spectrum. Maybe thats why this seems as your quote. I'm not saying that a (for instance) Frank Belo sig P bass cannot be use for any stylee of music, but its certainly gonna be more at home with one genre as are most Deans. Interesting arrangment tho'

Eddie, your a bit left of field with you assumptions on this one it would appear..... Musky has it about right. A genuine ebayer with 100% feedback and nothing in his description is missleading. Keep up the excellent work in looking for the baddies.........

Another victory to ebay and common sense!

[quote name='paul, the' post='30733' date='Jul 12 2007, 02:30 PM']Face up to it, you'll never burn an instrument like Hendrix.[/quote] You could, but imagine what your offspring would look like? How many strings would they have?

Kinsman make one a big hard one...... Ooooeeer missus. Check JHS website for thier availablity.

DB.... I believe you may get more response from those peeps in teh repairs and Techie forum so I'll pop you in there... Chaps and chapesses.......Help for the above please? ( I cant count above 4 when it comes to strings )

MD, JHS are the importers for Danelectro.... [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/home.htm"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/home.htm[/url] Serious eye candy on there, also you can get a list of dealers. Enjoy...

Rich- your wish is my command...... orf you go to general bass disscussion! Enjoy, B.

Jimmy, Any joy with the serial numbers yet? B.

Wazz, I can think of several reasons why they MIGHT have done it but dont know why they ACTUALLY did it..... I guess the only way to find that out for sure might be to email them, unless there is a Fender-head on here that can come up with the goods?

Well folks, we have a dedicated ebay forum. I'm not going to preach to you about how to behave, I would however like to suggest a few points for you to consider before you post a thread....... 1.eBay is MUCH larger than Basschat and reflects society, so for every 1 of us that is SSSsssssoooooooo into basses there is probably 4 or 5 that bought a bass played it for a few weeks and got fed up. These then end up on the 'bay ! 2.Not everybody on eBay is a scammer. They may GENUINELY not have the depth of knowledge that the average contirbutor on here has and hence thier descriptions may not be accurate. 3. Any article is only worth what someone is willing to pay....... They may WANT £1500 for a 2003 MIM P Bass but realistically we know that aint gonna happen. .If it doesnt sell they loose out not us ! 4. Flippant comments are not helpful and can be hurtful and desstructive.... please just think before you put... [i]"this ebayer is a lying scumbag scammer !" [/i] Even if you have some evidence to support this comment it would be more pertinent to put EXACTLY what your evidence is and what you did about it. Remember the person selling that bass may also be a basschatter! 5. You can put POSITIVE on here as well. If you've had a really good deal let the rest of us know about it. 6. If you have have been subject of a fraud/ scam /or just really bad service----- let the relavant authories know first, so that when you post on here you can update with what has happened. If you can think of anything I've missed let me know please.. Enjoy the forum and use it well, it can and should be an excellent resource

I havent quite grasped this one yet..... do we mean downright uncomfortable to play? or ones that just dont feel as yummy as our favorite one(s) ? Personally I now struggle to find anything other than my PRSs 'nice' I keep picking up toys when I visit shops (Guess they must get p***ed off with career 'test pilots' like me) but as soon as I get home and pick up one of the babies they just feel like they were made for me. Much the same feeling as those amongst our forum members that have ACTUALLY had their faves made for them. Even tho' I own a P, it feels neck heavy and doesnt feel anywhere near as balanced as the PRSs and most of the others (with the exception of Warwicks which do feel pleaseant) I have tried just dont float my boat. All very accomplished in their own right, but not for me.... Is that more a common thread?, we have likeness and personal preferance for tactility, as we do for the music we enjoy and play?

:wub:

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant .........! But...... Why? Mad as a box of frogs!

I'd say we've got all bases (or should that be basses?) covered between us there......... I'm sure we could spend hours over several beers disscussing the subtle nuances of each type??????

The Ovation B778 is ideal for what you want..... its pretty (avaialable in black or natural....yummy) and is the version on which the NS version is based. It is what I'll get if I get another (its a massive improvement on the Celebrity that I did have) You may need to contact JHS (the Ovation importers to see if they have one, as they are not common!) link details below..... [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/contact.htm"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/contact.htm[/url] PS I found them great when I've spoken to them!

[quote name='paul, the' post='28211' date='Jul 7 2007, 09:44 AM']Above and beyond the call of duty Bob, nice one.[/quote] Better than that, I've emailled them to let them know he's a perspective customer and to look after him !!!!!! They (Fred and Alice) sold me my PRS's, they were brilliant!!! If they were in the UK I would have no hesitation in travelling from one end of it to the other to see them..... If I can help them out and in the same breath help another bassist get started, I will go to sleep happy tonite!
