As you are in the USA how about this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bugera-BVP5500-550W-Valve-Bass-Amplifier-Head-/160764176292?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256e4aa7a4 Or maybe this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARVIN-BX500-500W-LIGHTWEIGHT-BASS-AMP-AMPLIFIER-HEAD-W-12AX7-PREAMP-TUBE-/180845101183?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1b35407f or..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-KUSTOM-DEEP-END-300HD-300W-HYBRID-TUBE-BASS-HEAD-/360442716918?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ec0f62f6 You can get overdrive by using a pedal if you need to? You may find a full valve amp difficult to come by at $500. Good luck with your search!

[quote name='dafonky' timestamp='1326018427' post='1490965'] my CAR 1965 L-series Precision......which might be for sale [/quote] Beautiful!

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1331972143' post='1581487'] The long intonation screws supposedly stopped being produced in 73 but they are really handy. If I could get hold of them I'd fit them to my Fender bridges. [/quote] I have one of those on my early 1974 Jazz bass, probably Fender using older parts which is typical as the pots are 73.. The Ebay listing looks correct to me.

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1331941558' post='1581390'] Is it me or is this a really tricky little bass line? Big heads and egotists out tyhe back door please! Im finding the timing a whole new learning curve from the plodding bass lines i usually bang out. Great line to learn mind! [/quote] I just found this, I hope this helps? it's a bass line I want to learn as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqyA_uwdsJU

[quote name='Jase' timestamp='1331943375' post='1581407'] Budgie are awesome!! Hope the gigs go well! [/quote] Cheers Jase it's great that there's another fan of Budgie's music on here. We've only done two gigs so far this year but they both went very well. So i'm hoping that these two, at venues we've not played in before, will be equally as good. Cheers Tony C.

I doubt i'll be keeping my rig, there's nothing wrong with it, it's as new, but the cab (although light) is a bit wide so I expect i'll downsize a bit.

Welcome John, hide your wallet!

Hi and welcome to Basschat

Nice one Clarky.

Yeah I got the email this morning. I got my Tecamp cab from Phil he's a top bloke.

Hi Inti. A warm welcome to Basschat I love your video's, I watched some of your others too, Mr. Pink and Iron Maiden, great stuff!

It does say that the neck is a replacement but a Tokai it certainly is not. He should change the description asap.

I bought my Burgundyglo 1975 Rick 4001 in 2005 and it's been used at every gig without any problems at all, (and used for recordings/rehearsals).

There's a load from the 80's Here's a few of my faves: Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots Jocelyn brown - Somebody Else's Guy Jermaine Jackson Let's Get Serious Melba Moore - Mind Up Tonight Shalamar - There it Is Level 42 - Weave Your Spell Change - Paradise Kajagoogoo - Too Shy Paul Young - Tear your Playhouse Down Go West - Call Me To be fair most funk/soul/chart I like is from the 70's Narada Michael Walden, Brothers Johnson, Pleasure, Chic etc........

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1331556487' post='1574624'] "certainly better than some of the dodgy pre-EB, early 80s instruments with wonky necks". [/quote] Is that right? I had never heard that said about the Stingray before. and I had been toying with the idea of buying an early MM but that's quite worrying. MattM's 88 looks the biz!
