[quote name='ped' post='183131' date='Apr 22 2008, 07:57 PM']The theory is that extended range on the bass strings is desirable whereas shorter scale on the treble side is desirable too. Extra scale basses are a compromise because what you gain in bottom you lose in top end snap, or so it goes. I have had no experience with fanned frets and do not believe that extra scale or less scale has a tangible effect when all things are considered but they look quite attractive![/quote] Cheers Ped and Bigred.

Yeah, hurry up...we want close ups too :brow:

That was an interesting read Dr Dave, ta very much, not 100% with you on your pups and bridge opinion but each to his own

Yeah, you're right, it's a cracker.

Ahhhh, can't beat a bit of vintage porn, lovely Beedster

I found bassworld by looking for bass things on the net, not sure how long ago but glad I did, tis a grand forum

[quote name='chris_b' post='184444' date='Apr 24 2008, 12:17 PM']I think this is a great way to end numbers, if your drummer is good enought to do it well.. The one thing I hate is a wimpey ending or one that just fizzels out and don't EVER do a fade out ending if I'm on the gig!!!!![/quote] Yeah, it's good to end the odd number like that but EVERY track gets a little boring

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='184357' date='Apr 24 2008, 10:42 AM']Our drummer thinks that every song needs to end with him playing his cymbals to fade. On too many occasions to count, our first song has ended with me whispering through gritted teeth "If you do that again I'm going to shove your sticks up your arse". On more than one occasion too it has resulted in the biggest laugh of the night. Fortunately our drummer is smaller than me and also a very tolerant guy (unlike me).[/quote] Magic! our drummer always does an extended rally around his kit, I reckon it's cos most drummers don't have the premises or tolerant family members to get some playing in through the week so it's like they're letting off steam

Yep, drummer I play with in a covers band.....lovely bloke, funny guy, etc, etc..just always manages to avoid loading the van seems to be polishing his kit before he puts it away while we're humping gear out and then as he puts them in the flight cases......... we're all in "load mode" and his gear gets taken out....pesky drummers

What was the weather like? Could've done an outdoor gig if it was fine Seriously though, I bet that was a tad awkward...did you play the gig?

[quote name='Shockwave' post='183867' date='Apr 23 2008, 03:01 PM']You'll love what i just received in the post today then! [/quote] There's nothing like a new bass being delivered, looks a bit of a mean one Rob

I agree, they are a bit scary looking but I'm boring when it comes to body shape, pick up configs, scale length, etc, etc but they really do play great, especially that Tobacco Sunburst one

So what's the theory behind the fan thing? Will someone explain cos I don't have a clue

Glad to hear the gig went well Steve, hope you have many more

Ahh, Yes! The Eagle bass, great bass!!! Ha, got me thinking about Dimarzio's again now and Badass.....just as I was getting into using my basses completely stock Resist! Resist!

Yep, ugly, weird colors, odd shapes and massive scale length, don't think I'd enjoy playing one of them, bound to be crap!!!...... ..........Then I met Rob (Shockwave), today actually in Bristol, I was dropping some cabs off for him, so we got the cabs to his flat and Rob invited me in for a quick bit of bass spotting (I was hoping you would mate I was gagging to have a crack at a BC Rich ) and there they were, a little family of BC Rich's. Rob passes one to me, another, another....WHAT? THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT! they're really nice to play, at first I thought he'd chucked a P neck on them , great necks on them all, set up nicely (by Rob) and chunky too, I wanted to play 'em all day actually. My favorite one was the one with gold strings, sorry mate I can't recall the model but that was phwoar! It was really nice to meet you both and thank you for letting me play your basses Today I was educated in the art of BC Richism

Rob's a real nice guy to do a deal with, he bought two 4x10's from me, he also paid fuel costs and he let me have a rip through his BC Rich collection....tidy darts!!! Thanks Rob
