  1. [quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1382902688' post='2257851'] What a massive influence on so many artists, from Bowie to REM and beyond. Here's my favourite Lou solo tune from a fantastic period of his career where he worked with the late, brilliant Robert Quine, Fred Maher and the amazing Fernando Saunders on Bass [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpUuWYrv1cQ[/media] [/quote] He favoured great bass players and lines in his work. I guess it fitted with his driving drum beats and minimalist guitar. It was his energy, personality and song writing skills that made him so influential, all backed by a good musical ear and distinctive vocals.
  2. and another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wNknGIKkoA
  3. One of the albums that made me want to play bass and still an all time favourite. Check this out. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxn_B_2XWMs[/media]
  4. wowzers, one of my favourite song writers! No good for me though
  5. [quote name='Bassdude BE' timestamp='1382803306' post='2256756'] Love this! If this is still around when my Farida Jazz sells i'm definitely intrested. just don't understand why everybody puts those useless, ugly '51 style thumbrests on their P-basses... [/quote] Hmm judging from your picture you need a breast rest on the back of your guitar
  6. A lil bump from me to me! I'm playing this one all the time as it sits next to my PC, its a great recording instrument.
  7. No one out there with a partner that needs a megaphone effect?
  8. These are great basses. I like them so much that I have three This one was bought from here. I originally got it to try out the pups and then bought another. I love the sound both active and passive but three similar basses seems a bit excessive and I prefer my blue colouor to the black one. This one plays really nicely and sounds awsome. It is very powerful thanks to the awesome EMG's and 3 band electronics. The bass has issues as someone has clattered the control knobs against something, which has resulted in a lacquer cracks around the tone knobs. This didn't really show up in the pics or from a distance but they are prominent close up. Another problem was highlighted when I bought the guitar, as two of the machine head blades could touch each other. That is because two had been replaced in the past and although they look the same they are a fraction bigger than the rest. Swapping them around has cured that problem so its no longer an issue. So there you have it, an extremely sweet sounding and powerful bass, with quality componants, build and an ebony fretbourd for a bargain price. There are still a few of these going new for the £650+ mark new so £200 sounds like a lot of bass for the money.

  9. [quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1381778746' post='2243701'] How's about an Alien acoustic? Real one, not a Rockbass. [/quote] Nice offer but don't think I'd play that either so its a no I'm afraid.
  10. [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1381769212' post='2243441'] So it's OK to pay someone to professionally relic a bass, but sacrilege to let your mates do it? [/quote] Certainly not! OK I have one but I just bought it to rescue it from further abuse.
  11. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1381705524' post='2242759'] Um, about your Sandberg... [/quote] if anyone did that to my Sandburg I would be really upset. Hmm actually it may add value (see profile pic)
  12. I'd like to think that I could trust my bandmates Its all a bit sneaky and snide no respect there.
  13. Well I don't get it. Neither did the drummer
  14. Hi, For sale or trade is this is a megaphone and distortion pedal that I bought this spring. I thought I was going to have to do some singing. Luckily it never happened so world was spared from this experience It's like new and comes with a "like new" box with adapter. £60 ono + £5 P&P if needed. Link here: [url="http://www.tc-helicon.com/voicetone-x1-megaphone-and-distortion-vocal-effect-stompbox"]http://www.tc-helico...effect-stompbox[/url]
  15. If that's all you need and your happy to "stomp" I would go separate petals. That way you can refine your sound as much as you like without changing everything. The only reason I can think of to go for multi-effects is if you want to save all your settings or make multiple changes during a performance.
  16. Hi, I already have several other guitars and basses, including two other Burns so this pretty little number has to go. its a special Burns Marquee S in that it is an attractive unusual red colour and has a quilted top. This must be about 12-14 year old. Its from the burns Club series and is probably Korean. The serial number is 2010037. Its a used guitar and has a chip on the head and some marks around the bottom edge so more of a user than a collectors item. It plays nicely and everything seems to work as it should. It could probably do with a set up, including the pups to give a more even sound but I'll leave that to some one with the time and interest. I have hardly played it since and as iI bought-it which is why it is up for sale. £150 or offers. Trades? What you offering? I'm interested in effects for bass or lead or anything useful I will post in Europe at the buyers expense. The pictures say it all. I tried to show the damage in the last two. Note: On the last one it is the small dings on the bottom edge and paint chip near the button I'm referring too-not the refection in the body.

  17. Hi, This is a really a feeler for a nice fretless precision. It is in great condition, it is a real looker and handles beautifully. Serial Number is: N582195, which makes it 95 I think. The story goes that a couple of years ago fancied playing fretless bass and was offered this beauty. I cost me a little more than my ability justified but I was totally blown away by it. Shortly afterwards I was asked to play lead guitar and didn't play much bass for the next year. Then this summer I started to play bass again but not fretless so I have no time to play it. I have put the £750 price tag on it because I believe these are quite rare in good condition and I have seen some very high (ridiculous) asking prices and this appears to be cheap in comparison. If I'm way out no problem make me an offer as I would prefer cash. Trades? I would also trade (or trade with cash my way) for a quality fretted 4 stringer or an active or passive 5 stringer with a 34" scale. Other possibilities include light weight amplification, such as a quality lead or bass combo capable of doing small gigs. [i]Note: No 4 string jazzes, unless its a deluxe as I already have a nice passive Jazz and no Mexican Fenders please (I'm sure there are nice ones but I haven't liked the few I have played).[/i] When I bought the bass the previous owner told me that he was the 2nd owner and had owned it for 16 years. He hadn't used it much but had always treasured and hung on to it because he felt it was "sonically correct", meaning that it sounds as good as it looks. I have been hanging on to it for the same reason in the knowledge that if I sell it I'm unlikely to get another as good. I can't see me playing it though so time to pass it on. The pictures say it all. Strung with black nylons and lots of mwah. The only thing to add is that the case is incuded for the right deal and I will post in Europe provided the buyer pays carriage and insurance.

  18. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1381332257' post='2237760'] Think JE was far more the "lead" player in The Who. [/quote] Yep I was thinking that. At times he was leading and giving the others the space to jump around and whirl their arms etc. The perfect partner for Keith Moon
  19. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1381316177' post='2237372'] Pinball, but as you say one bass is considerably heavier than the other. IMO trying to pin the differences in sound between the two on the fingerboard is ignoring half the evidence in front of you. [/quote] Agreed I carefully didn't, what I said was (complete with spelling mistake): [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]My conclusion is that it is down weight of the wood and type of wood in the neck, which mirrors a lot of the inking on here.[/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]That's what I thought but there could be lots of other variables, density of wood, pickup height. They are also different colors ( pffft).[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I also went on to say about the feel of the boards but it would be interesting to play them blindfolded to see how much of it is emotional.. .[/font][/color]
