  1. Hutton speaks the truth. [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Make the effort and put up pics. We all love pics.[/size]
  2. What a cracker. The bass and your other half [size=4] [/size]
  3. A huge amount of effects for just £85, bump.
  4. You now have a set of knobs to be proud of mate. [size=4] [/size]
  5. James, you have had your answer from the only people that you need to be taking any notice of. For me, that would be end of discussion [size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size]
  6. I always take two basses to each and every gig.
  7. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417881384' post='2624837'] This thread is becoming Basschat's own 'War and Peace'... [/quote] [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1417885117' post='2624880'] You'll "come by and look at it". Look at it? Is that it? You won't play it and buy it? Just *look*. I bet Gary can't bear the anticipation. [/quote] [size=4] [/size]
  8. I just play each and every note on the instrument, first unplugged and then through an amp. No tunes necessary.
  9. One of my faves. I recommend the album "A nod's as Good as a Wink" Just love their feel, it sounds a bit loose and like it could all fall to bits. [size=4] [/size]
  10. First bump of the month [size=4] [/size]
  11. Another weekend and another bump [size=4] [/size]
  12. [quote name='Skinnyman' timestamp='1417776054' post='2623862'] Thank you. No, it's the black one. I looked long and hard at the blue beauty that was on here a while ago but SevenReason's black one just had something about it. Plus, he had the P pickup, guard and a Glock preamp all included which kind of made up my mind for me. Pics will come [/quote] Very nice, I was tempted by that one [size=4] [/size]
  13. Is it the blue one? Whichever one, congrats and get some pics up.
  14. There is far too much slating of Roger Waters. I was watching some footage a few nights back and thinking how what he was playing was exactly right for the particular number, very few notes but perfectly placed and very restrained.
  15. That must have been a disappointment, it went for less than it should have done. Someone got a lot of bass for that price.
  16. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417204170' post='2618263'] April..? That's a bit pessimistic! Though as you're on page 4, I can understand why... [/quote] Rather than being pessimistic, I look at it as enjoying a lovely instrument for a few more months......honest
  17. [quote name='gadgie' timestamp='1417183270' post='2617897'] I would reckon... yes it would have. [/quote] So do I but there was some really pleasing bass playing on that album.
  18. [size=6] IT'S JUST £85 [/size] [size=6] [/size][size=6] [/size] [size=6][size=1]BUMP[/size][/size]
  19. [quote name='Stuee' timestamp='1417044777' post='2616660'] I look at this ad daily, Gary. I really want it, but just can't justify it to my other half in the middle of a house renovation :-/ Argh! [/quote] I understand mate. you never know it might still be here when the house renovation is complete. [quote name='Rubbishatbass' timestamp='1417048860' post='2616688'] In 1981 I had one just like this save for the dark fingerboard and for it being a fretless ... had the thumb rest, the lot. I wish I still had it ... if I was single, I'd buy this just for the hell of it and not even play it which would be a shame but I'd just hang it on the wall or something. But I'm not so I can't get it through ... It's a beautiful piece of workmanship though ... [/quote] Cheers. [quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1417159172' post='2617544'] That's a beautiful bass indeed! I'll be in London next year in April. If it's still for sale by then, I'll come by and have a look at it... [/quote] I'll look forward to meeting you then
  20. Seeing your post and Robs has reminded me that I had to use my MXR M80 pre amp to get it sounding the way I like it.
  21. I love my Dingwall but have to admit that when gigging with it, I do have to mess a bit with eq'ing to get it sounding the way I like. The problem is probably me rather than the instrument, I'm just so used to my G&L's that are very much plug and play.
  22. Well that looks spectacular. Must be good to have kept you up all night. Great pics and write up.
  23. No worries. I'm not really in to the whole slap thing but couldn't resist a little slap and a few pops in our disco section, at last weeks gig. Mostly I play with a pick, along with some finger style and thumbing, so far these strings have been great with all styles.
