BigBeefChief replied to TheShebeats's topic in Musicians Wanted
[quote name='TheShebeats' post='290191' date='Sep 23 2008, 06:13 PM']This pussy definitely does not fit the bill, I don't care how well she can play bass! When I said "good look" I kinda meant, avec hair! And yes we are based in Swindon but are moving to London asap. This is a live-in position with a wage and good management. Tours waiting and EP ready to record. We have done some work for Apple and are managed by Charlie Pinder - ex head of Sony/BMG, and ex head of A and R at V2. That's all folks HELP US FIND.... THE ONE!![/quote] Sounds like things are going well. I'm jealous. I'll keep an ear out. Let me know if you need an oil boy for the tour bus. -
Are there gonna be girls there?

[quote name='ped' post='289970' date='Sep 23 2008, 01:59 PM']Well I don't love my windows as much as my bass but I clean those too... I just like the gloss black shine Nick seems to achieve on his fretboards. Don't you?! l8z ped[/quote] I think the bigger problem is what your doing over the neck to get it all sticky.

I think Pissman is a genius name! It reminds me of one of my favourite sayings: "Piss off and poo yourself".

[quote name='ped' post='289952' date='Sep 23 2008, 01:42 PM']I don't know how you get the neck so shiny Nick - I tried the WD40 and window cleaner trik on mine but it never stays clean for long!![/quote] We all know you love your Vigier ped, but don't you think you're taking it a bit far??

Bass Shapes (jazz, bass, singlecut, completely original)
BigBeefChief replied to EBS_freak's topic in Bass Guitars
I like a Jazz shape but I probably wouldn't buy a non-Fender Jazz. Its Fenders design, let them keep it. There's so many body shapes you could come up with (no doubt comfier than a Jazz), it seems crazy (lazy?) to just keep copying Fender. I also quite like the quirky look of Rics and Burns Bisons. I tend to like larger body shapes, as I'm quite tall and small bodies look crap and 80's on me. Not into anything overly "rounded" like most Warwicks. They seem to small and have the appearence of drift wood with 6ft necks. Also, I don't mind hollow body shapes, my only issue with them is that their pickups usually aren't well positioned to rest your thumb on. Love Thunderbirds as well. Can't stand Metal style basses (overly pointy, "I'm still p1ssed off with my parents at 32" type things"). They always remind me of the long haired, snakebite drinkers who want to bore you with tales of Space Marines and Citadel Miniatures. -
They are the only 2 Warwicks I've ever found slightly attractive - probably because they look nothing like Warwicks. I prefer the JH one to be honest. Its also good to see basses with thumb rests. A lack of thumb rest puts me off owning most acoustic basses. That and the fact I've never heard one that was loud enough to compete with an acoustic guitar without amplification. Kinda makes the whole idea of an acoustic bass pointless really?

[quote name='metaltime' post='289606' date='Sep 23 2008, 12:33 AM']zjus held on to my B string and played. I played half the song like that my strap fell off but you no what they say the show must go on.[/quote] At last! A practical use for a bass with more than 4 strings!

I will try and make it down. There is no finer boozer than the Kelsey!

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='280868' date='Sep 10 2008, 08:50 AM']4. If you have a problem with the price of an item on the forum, stating it in an aggressive way on the thread undermines the sellers listing. Often however feedback on fair pricing is useful and constructive. Bear this in mind and be considerate and vigilant. If anyone is seen being aggressive or SERIOUSLY overpricing an item them you are best off sending a PM to the member and to a moderator. The best policy is that if you do not like the price, move on. The seller won’t sell and you avoid any arguments.[/quote] Who has been aggressive? Or has the post been deleted/editted?

If not, the "IV" is up for £182 on Thomann: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_thunderbird_iv_ebass.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_thunderbird_iv_ebass.htm[/url] I'm not trying to be a dick, the only reason I ask is that I'm quite interested in this. Just trying to establish if this is a good deal or not (once I add on the postage).
