If you all post a link to this thread on facebook, myspace, blogs etc. google will pick it up and eventually this page will rank higher on search engine results than their own website. You have the power to make them take notice! The Bass Centre were VERY aware of negative feedback on this site but they still didn't make any significant improvements to their service. Sometimes its like leading a horse to water...

still, I think Jon would probably have a chuckle over it and say something to the effect of if this guy actually sells it for that much, he'd be keen to get in touch.

Hello new boy. Has Matron seen to you yet? She looks a bit ugly and her speech impediment tends to coat one in a thin film of saliva but she's got a good heart...or three actually, if I recall correctly.

[quote name='Vibrating G String' post='943763' date='Sep 2 2010, 05:36 PM']The 2 outside mounting holes with the threaded inserts won't be covered by a normal bridge and you get funny looking holes in the bass. And you get on the EBMM hitlist.[/quote] The other issue is that the location of the bridge and saddle design itself changes very slightly from about 86 through to 95 or so to compensate for lateral angle of the strings after they've broken over the saddle. So anyone looking to produce MM replacement bridges for 4 string stingrays would have to issue at least three models for each design variation and then ensure that people got the right bridge for their bass. A total faff if you ask me.

Get both.

I love his band leadership when they start to improvise. Truly an awe inspiring experience but I can generally take or leave his more staged concerts otherwise. He seems to have eased up on the websherriff recently with all sorts of interesting stuff popping up on Youtube.

He's only doing this part time. The website hasn't been updated in a while.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='939745' date='Aug 30 2010, 02:22 AM']You're on the right track. If a carbon fiber neck is solid it's flawed, as that doesn't take advantage of the stiffness of the material.[/quote] Steinberger necks are solid and are some of the best sounding and responsive graphite necks ever produced (IMO). However they are a completely different manufacturing process to monocoque "semi hollow" equivalents. While structurally rigid, monocoque construction doesn't always make for a pleasant sounding neck. However the most advanced monocoque designs (such as Status necks) incorporate fill material that selectively dampens some unpleasant frequencies. Technically superior doesn't always mean better sounding. I believe honeycomb construction for speaker cabs was discussed on the Talkbass thread but gluing the material became quite critical to its success. Thing is when you push the boundaries of any construction process, the costs go up as the manufacturing process becomes more sophisticated.

Billy Sheenan isnt going to feel very threatened by that.

Yeah, I have this version on DVD and keep listening too. The fretless fills are delightful. I've heard the original maybe once or twice at most.

[quote name='mrtcat' post='939020' date='Aug 28 2010, 07:43 PM']May have been mentioned before on youtube links but I love the bass line on "Starlight" by The Supermen Lovers[/quote] Oh good call on that one. Thats typically my soundcheck choon, how could I forget it? Oh yeah, I haven't done a sound check for 18 months... ...anyway let me add then: Room 5 feat. Oliver Cheatham - Make Luv The Ones - Flawless and a couple of oldies: Janet Jackson - Black Cat Miami Sound Machine - Conga and Black Velvet - Alannah Myles needs a mention too

8, no change in the last 12 months and I don't anticipate needing to sell or buy any either. I've got all the bases (ahem) covered sound wise.

He's not been on line a lot recently but if I get a chance, I'll pass the message on. He has seen the thread already.

No. What makes basses valuable is nostalgia. If a bass brand isn't associated with someone's teenage years then it won't be collectable. Warwicks might be collectable based on this theory in about 15 years. Get purchasing all those pre 91 instruments.

+1 on Kylie's Fever tour - some killing bass lines there esp Kids Are Alright, Love At First Sight and Come Into My World Open Letter To A Landlord - Living Colour Wonderful Life - Black/Colin Vearcombe Seal - Self titled album (Doug Wimbish ripping the book up on that one) Level 42 up to about 1988 (sorry, they lost it after that) Abba (Rutger Gunnarsson on bass) Some Lisa Stansfield stuff is good and pretty much anything with Paul Young and Pino on No Parlez [quote name='Bassassin' post='936066' date='Aug 25 2010, 02:30 PM']What went wrong? [/quote] Grunge and Indie

9K on basses, 4K on backline, maybe 800 on effects and perhaps about 3-4K on studio/other gear.
