  1. Reminds me of the time my amp went down onstage, so I thought "hmm I wonder if they can still hear me?" so I leapt off the stage, (a pretty big stage, supporting sikth) I survived the drop, realised, 'nope, no sound out here either, ah well, the jumped looked cool.' Turned around and realised: 'bugger!! How the f**k am I gonna get back up there?!!?'

    Uncoolness from Gaf. ;-)

  2. It actually reminds me of me, mainly when im playing superstition (or some other generally E based funky thing) in the house band at open mic, and the leader calls for a bass solo, and my mind, despite my age and twenty years gigging experience still sometimes goes:
    :) GIRLS!, IN THE ROOM!, AND POSSIBLY OTHER PEOPLE TOO!, I NEED TO PLAY AS MANY NOTES AS POSSIBLE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! SO THEY'LL NOTICE IM HERE!!!!!............GO, GO, GO!!! WIDDLY WIDDLY, THUMP, THUMP, THWACKEY THWACKEDY BANG BANG.......YEAH!! I SHOWED THEM!!

    Ill be honest, it does!, I CAN do it, i know i SHOULDNT do it, but sometimes i just do... I need help.

    help me :)

    Cheers I really like the 9.0 it just sounds great left as is, and is so light and easy to live with. I love the 3.0 too, I had one for a short while. :)

  4. I picked this up recently, its a cheap superbudget ebay job, only with a nicer body than usual, and a pretty birdseyed neck. I cant get along with the string spacing as im used to wide status sixes, that and i kinda suck at fretless!
    I did actually sell it already but the buyer discovered a few problems so im offering it here as is for either a fixer upper/project or what have you.

    The bass is only a few weeks old and is cellophaned as new, and set up to play; but along the way the pickups have failed under the B string :-( Im sure replacements are available very cheaply or that Andy at Wizard could sort em out. The sound from the other five strings is fine, very burpy and bouncy with decent bite and attack. (and yes, 'mwah'!)
    The other thing is that the dots are in a funny place, they seem to be either slightly out, or i suspect, in the middle of the 'fret' which is something ive had on fretless basses before, I used to much prefer it actually and hadn't initially noticed it on this one until it was pointed out! Its a bit odd but again there are many ways to sort this if you wanted them on the note. Ive always found playing 'slightly to the right of the blob' better than on the line as it were! Probably cause thats how my old 80's jazz was.

    SO anyway with this all in mind im offering this very new bass at a whopping loss to what i paid for it shipped very recently at £80 posted to yor UK mainland only door.

    Or trade for WHY?

    It looks great in the flesh and is well screwed together apart from the pickups lol! nice bit of kit for someone im sure, but fretless and me have had our day!
