I've been following your sale thread but tempting as it is I'm afraid it's out of my price range - I've got a couple of other options but if they don't happen maybe I'll have to reconsider...

[quote name='OldGit' post='505985' date='Jun 4 2009, 11:58 PM']Sounds like a good reason to me.
Do you need a letter from us for your wife?[/quote]

I'm pretty well in credit on the brownie points front so i should be ok, but if I need a note I'll let you know ;p

[quote name='OldGit' post='505980' date='Jun 4 2009, 11:55 PM']A Jazz would be "right" but no one will be able to tell
I've seen that show recently and it's great fun..
The production I saw all the music was on backing tracks .. Be much better with a live band..[/quote]

^^ Jazz would be good and there is a Jazz shaped hole in my collection at the moment...

I'm told the show will be using a mixture of tracks and live band - the keys, bass, drums and guitar are live for the majority of the tracks with some horns, additional keys and backing vocals on click, other tracks are just the live band and a handful are just track. Sould be a good show, my sister is one of the dancers (they've be rehearsing for several months now, we [the band] get one look at it the week before the show!) and she says the cast is pretty good and that some of the tracks are pretty quick - glad I'm not dancing!

I'm tempted to go for the Jazz - but probably because that means adding to the collection

I could then take them both to the gig

If Hodge doesn't see you right I'm sure we've got some of these at work that are surplus to requirements - drop me a PM and I'll post them to you...

From what I've currently got the P is clearly the best choice and I've done a bit of practice on the P for this show, however I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a Fender Jazz, if the Jazz is more appropriate for this show I'll take the plunge and get it, if it's not I'll stick with the P - hence the thread...

Ok - so I've been asked to bass for Boogie Nights [Disco Inferno, Boogie Wonderland, Shaft etc]...

Great as my Overwater fretless is I just don't think it's the right choice for this gig - the question is, what is?

What do you thing I should be using, your thoughts appreciated...

Roll on Monday

Looks awesome - great job

Welcome - good to have you onboard - enjoy

Pictures added to OP...

Cheers Stu

Sorry you didn't have the funds to take this of my hands, I know things are tough at the moment - all being well it's sold [but I won't know for sure until the weekend] but if for any reason it doesn't happen I'll let you know...

Euphonic Audio iAmp200 Combo - in very good condition, owned since new, now surplus to requirements.

I really need £400 cash for this but would consider a trade for a Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0.

Collection preferred but will ship at cost if required.

One slight nick in input gain knob but otherwise looking and sounding great...

Thanks for looking...

Cool, thanks - might be an idea to put our drummer in a booth all the same

This is superb - fascinating stuff

Looking forward to seeing it develop - can you get an 18 piece big band in the live room?

Mate you are not having much by way of luck at the moment - hope the damage is not too bad and that it isn't going to set you back too much to repair it...

BTW I've put a couple of feelers out for you with regards the sale (to a couple of guys I know who don't come on here) but no takers as yet...

If this had a maple board I'd be PMing you now - good luck with the sale...

nice one - you've got to love it when that happens

Happy Birthday mate - tempting though the offer is I really don't need any additional years right now

All the best

John

I'm with the rest of guys on this.

So sorry to hear things aren't good for you at the moment, it's coming to something when you feel you've got no other choice than to let your pride and joy go.

Keep positive - things will get better...

PM'd

Great player - saw him live at the Southport Jazz frestival a few yeras back - brilliant live and a great band too.

Not sure what bass he's using though... plays upright too - superb

Get yourself an Overwater - you will not be disappointed.

As I already have a 5 String Fretless Progress III and a 5 String fretted Evolution on the way, I'd be looking at an ACG, Shuker or RIM just to see how they compare - probably can't go to far wrong with any of them.

If you fancy something a bit different you might want to look at a Gus -[url="http://www.gusguitars.com/product.php?model_id=9"]Gus Website[/url] saw these the other day and thought umm, could be interesting.

Whatever you fancy - enjoy the experience and happy birthday - a bit early I know

I've got an MRS-1266 (earlier version of what you're looking at - 12 tracks not 16) - had it a few years now and it's been great.

Managed to get some good results, it has good on-board effects and is pretty intuitive. The learning curve is not too steep and once you master the basics it's easy. Recording is pretty straight forward and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to get to grips with the editing and mixing side of things either.

I would imagine that the newer version has some better components (bigger HD, better connectivity etc) so if the price is within your budget it provides a good alternative to the Computer based approach IMO.

If you've got further specific questions drop me a PM...

indeed - my bass has an aformentioned 'fat string', is that a technical term?

here's an alternative not already mentioned - Robben Ford...
