In my day, Paradox was a Brighton nightclub.

Carry on.

Strange. I was listening to that very song only last night.

[quote name='XB26354' post='470740' date='Apr 23 2009, 02:08 PM']Fender bass V - tuned EADGC. The 5-string as we know it today has a low B and Fender had nothing to do with it.[/quote] You said Fender didn't make a 5 for years, you said nothing about how it was tuned. If I tune my 4 string BEAD is it no longer a 4 string bass?

Ho ho!

sh*t in a margarine tub and send it to them. Fair's fair.

[quote name='XB26354' post='470636' date='Apr 23 2009, 12:56 PM']Yeah and you're Mr reasoned argument on here aren't you? What was it you said in reply to the above - disabled or spastic?[/quote] Retarded if I remember correctly. I called your position on this retarded. Nice to see you're consistent. Annoying prat? Old school. I like your style.

Ahh, but don't forget XB26354 is the guy who, when talking about the difference between US and Mexican Fenders, famously said: "The MIA is for snobs that have to have Made in the USA on the headstock" ...so I'd take everything he says about Fenders with a large pinch of salt.

[quote name='TomorrowDreamer' post='470187' date='Apr 22 2009, 11:20 PM']Hmmm and how much would this great deal be costing me?^^[/quote] You have a PM.

Have you played there before?

...and if you don't like the tone of this, have you considered second hand? I can do you a great deal on a 700w Peavey Firebass Head and 2x10 cab, only 'cos I like you mind.

I own the terribly named BassBomber and I rate it as one of the best sounding combos I've ever played. However, its worth bearing in mind that my tastes seem far from the norm amongst bass players! If you like a bass sound with plenty of mids, this isn't for you. If you like playing trebly prog metal, this isn't for you. If you like a lot of tonal flexibility, it isn't for you. If you like a vintage thud or a dub sound, then maybe it is for you. I'd advise that you give it a go before committing though. In terms of playing live, unfortunately it doesn't have a DI output, so you'd have to buy a DI box if you want to run it through the PA without mic'ing it up. Having said that, I've played it live and its sounded great to me ears, and have been complimented on the tone. But maybe I'm deaf and maybe people are just being kind?

[quote name='Machines' post='469617' date='Apr 22 2009, 02:13 PM']95% of my playing time is alone nowadays.[/quote] Have you considered speed dating?

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='469587' date='Apr 22 2009, 01:38 PM']Neither do I. Someone just moved my keyboard 1 cm to the right at just the wrong moment.[/quote] It's all that 1 handed typing Bilbo.

I'd do anything for AC/DC tickets (apart from hang on a phone line to ticket master for an hour!). I'm very jealous.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='469179' date='Apr 21 2009, 11:57 PM']Lady GaGa, is what Madonna would always have wanted to be like, articulate, classically trained and sexy as f***.[/quote] What?!!!!! Have you seen her norks? They're like a pair of spaniels ears. And she's got a face like a rabbit.

[quote name='AM1' post='468845' date='Apr 21 2009, 05:48 PM']Skank, am trying to PM you but it says you can't receive.[/quote] Skank's a giver.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='468774' date='Apr 21 2009, 04:56 PM']Can you hear this? [size=1][i]Your eyes are tired. Very, very tired. You're falling asleep, a deep, deep sleep. Now, think about that lovely Vantage that Skank's selling over in Basses for sale. You'd like to buy it, wouldn't you? Now, I'm going to count to three and when you wake up, you're going to PM him an offer. 1,2,3![/i][/size][/quote] I was tempted by this but your "for sale" thread looks suspiciously like an auction to me, which I believe is frowned upon on this site?

I have a Masters Degree in Hearing and am working towards a Phd in Loud Noises.
