    [quote name='OldGit' post='177374' date='Apr 15 2008, 09:10 PM']"Tell that to kids these days and they don't believe you ...." [/quote] Well, I'm still a kid myself pretty much (21). I started wearing them because my dad's friend - who I believe is in his mid-50s - has worn them for as long as I can remember. He runs an outdoor adventure kind of place in Botswana and used to take 3 pairs out there and would just be on his third pair when he returned 9 months later. Being back in Scotland finished the last pair off though

    Yep, red tortoise shell for me too. Although, black would look good too, but tort, definitely!
  3. Jono Bolton
    Yep, I've been wearing them for years now, but then Nike took them over, they became more popular and as the prices went up, the quality dropped rapidly. They're nowhere near as durable as they used to be even 4 years ago. Sad times.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a comprehensive online guide to setting up a bass? It's something I feel I should be able to do myself and I want to learn! Alternatively, can anyone recommend any books on the subject?

    +1 on the OLP. Would you deliver it too?

    How do? I've recently bought a pair of Converse, size 9, same as these ones [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CONVERSE-ALL-STAR-HI-BLACK-MONOTONE-TRAINERS-UK-9_W0QQitemZ320238920187QQihZ011QQcategoryZ1262QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]here[/url]. I've bought them for a wedding I'm going to in 2 weeks, so I need them for that, but after that I can't see me wearing them after that. I dunno if this is the right section to put them in, but they're not for free, but for trade. I'm looking for a pair of 'Classic' Converse, black canvas/white rubber or similar, same size. Anyone interested? PM me! Jono

    Phwoar! That pink Squier's lovely! I want!

    That Rockbass is great, never been tempted by one until now, but they need to sort out that jack socket and put an input on the edge instead of that fugly Strat one. Very nice precision too, but why did you get rid of the tort scratchplate?!?!?!? Sacrilege!

    I haven't tried the Hartke stuff but I really liked all the Ashdown stuff I've used (and use). The sound does lean towards the vintage side of things, it's not gonna be suitable for a black metal band or anything, but if you take some time to mess with the EQ you can get some nice warm sounds out of it. I thought the MAG 300 head worked very nicely with distortion. l I definitely agree with the fault being down to the user, or their settings. My amp can sound woolly when it's flat but that's what the EQ is there for, as it's already been pointed out.

    You may be better to split too. A lot of people don't which puts me off for sure, some folk are just looking for an amp and others are just looking for a cab. It might be an idea to post it too. It's a bit of hassle for you trying to box it and such, but you could always get the potential buyer to organise pickup and delivery. I don't think many would be pissed if you stuck an extra fiver or tenner on top for your hassle. Just throwing it out there, but it may open up your potential market. There were a couple of people who wouldn't post their cabs when I was looking to buy, which was a real kick in the sh*tt*r. Anyway, by not splitting/posting what you're looking for is someone in your area who's looking for this exact rig.

    No one fancies it?

    White. Or Black. Or Sunburst. I'm not much help, but any of those 3 would look sweet with a maple neck and tortoise-shell pickguard.

    I agree with Wil's comment in the original topic, if they re-issued the DC bass I'd be in there like a shot. They do sound amazing though. I used to have a Dano U2 guitar (my first guitar actually, not bass), and it was lovely. I wish I still had it That was my 'one that got away'.
  16. Jono Bolton
    D'oh! Should've read your sig!
  17. Jono Bolton
    Funny you should say that, because I have a string of sausages and a book of cartoon cliches
  18. Jono Bolton
    That's a shame. It's looks slightly wrong, but it's still a lovely bass, and a killer collection! That's 2 15s you've got there too, bet that's nice and bassy!
  19. Jono Bolton
    Is it just a trick of the light or is the fingerboard on the maple neck P a different colour to the headstock? Anyway, that colour combo with the maple neck [i]was[/i] my ideal Precision, but seeing the one with the rosewood has thrown me! I may have to get one of each. Although if that maple neck had block inlays

    [quote name='BassManKev' post='175100' date='Apr 12 2008, 12:08 PM']if we have another earthquake....[/quote] Exactly! That's why I keep my basses balanced precariously against/on top of my amp
  21. Jono Bolton
    That is lovely! And you're in Paisley too, I'm not that far away! Where in Paisley do you live? And what's your home security system like? Would it be possible for an amateur thief to get in and out easily?

    There's a few folk on here with nice tall (and probably immovable) 1X15s. I want one, not one of those compact jobs that lots of companies are churning out (Ashdown, I'm looking at you). I wonder if Bassbunny still has his? And if he'll post it for free?
  23. Jono Bolton
    Bump! Make me an offer!

    [quote name='matty589' post='174522' date='Apr 11 2008, 01:42 PM']My educated guess: 1. £230-£250 2. £130-£170 £. £150-£180 Unfortunately none of these instruments are particularly desirable - someone had a P-bass Lyte on eBay recently at £300, and it ended with no bids. I played one in a shop a couple of years back and they dropped the price to £250 used. Didn't buy it as it wasn't very nice. In any case, good luck and hope you get the requisite funds for the Bongo![/quote] Maybe that's because the P Bass Lyte is hideous? IMO, of course! If the Epi was at the less expensive end of that price bracket I might be interested though, it may quell my want for an EB-3
  25. Jono Bolton
    I paid £270 for mine at the start of the year if that's any help?
