[quote name='ARGH' post='265793' date='Aug 19 2008, 06:51 PM']...I find if you dont want to get 'Attitude' in a shop,look them square in the eye,ask questions,have a 'Spot the bullshit' question (Mines Tulipwood on Luthiers) and dress well..being a scruffy cnut aint gonna get anyones attention..there are exceptions,but if you look like you have cash,then they will kiss your arse and call it ice cream[/quote] If you have to look like you have cash to get any attention, then f***’em, I’ll spend my cash elsewhere. You’re walking into their shop with the potential of being a big spender, whether you look it or they know it or not. You wouldn’t get discriminated against in a car showroom or Dixons under the same principles, so why should you in a music shop? In all honesty, what proper muso isn’t a scruffy cnut anyway?

Is it just me that isn’t too keen on it?

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='265570' date='Aug 19 2008, 03:08 PM']If and when we get a response here from Music Ground, can I humbly suggest that no one leaps straight in to flame the guy?[/quote] Definitely. There’s no point in ranting to someone from Music Ground who has come on here to give their point of view when it would have been very easy for them to ignore us. I’d have a lot more respect for the company if someone did come on here to either try to resolve the bitterness that many of us have developed with the Bass Cellar’s apparent lack of customer service, or give their perspective of the discussion and try to somehow justify it. Keeping it civil should be a priority though.

This thread is interesting, but very one sided. I’d never be one to stick up for the Bass Cellar, but I’m agreeing with the “right of reply” that a few others have suggested. Has anyone dropped them an email and asked them to have a look at this thread? Maybe they’ll change tact if they find out their name is being dragged through the dirt on the UK’s largest bass guitar forum? …doubtful, but it’s a possibility. After all, this forum is only ever expanding…

that sounds like a synth... EDIT: I mean synth as in a keyboard, not a synth bass effect

I wrote a 3000 word essay on the hybridisation of musical genres in my first year of uni...i could have written a 20,000 thesis. I wish you the best of luck...

+1 for keeping at least one bass...you never know.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='264828' date='Aug 18 2008, 06:52 PM']It's funny, I never used to be a swirl fan... lets just say it has grown on me over time![/quote] The swirls are great…but the prices aren’t

Cheers for the feedback guys

Keep practising mate…that is the only solution. Maybe try tapping out rhythms with your hands to specifically concentrate on getting your rhythm slightly tighter, but other than that it will just come with time. Some people have a much tighter natural sense of rhythm than others, but it can be learnt, so don’t give up or get too stressed about it What you're doing already sounds good (practising with a metronome), so just keep it up and it should come gradually.

[quote name='Stag' post='264595' date='Aug 18 2008, 02:20 PM']Ive been quoted £35 inc some new Rotosound short scales for my Les Paul Bass (see Gear Porn... mmm). So thats a pretty good quote, really then?[/quote] Sounds good to me

[quote name='teen t-shirt' post='264620' date='Aug 18 2008, 02:54 PM']dude them swirls is sick i want some man, but then again i want some side LED's in my 120 pound bass.... lol can anyone quote me on how much it averages to cost to buy and get led's fitted? tarr... [/quote] Possibly 3 times more than the value of your bass

[quote name='BassManKev' post='264571' date='Aug 18 2008, 01:55 PM']just a set up, no work done, £30 ish i guess[/quote] That’s my experience, but then you can also find small shops that are willing to do an equally good job for half the price.

Looks amazing mate, well saved. I still feel bad for you though that your missus thought it was reasonable revenge to do something like that for whatever reason it may have been. Luckily mine will never do that, I think she understands that I almost class them as a family member and I would consider it GBH or murder if she were ever to do something like that…

This is a great forum community where a lot of people seem to have built a strong rapport with other members, but nothing is a done deal until the cash is in your hand or the goods have been exchanged or shipped etc – no ones owes anyone any favors on this site, so it’s always the sellers prerogative to do whatever they want with their goods. By posting a for sale thread, the seller is only inviting you to make an offer with no guarantees that it will be accepted, and even if it is but they change their mind due to circumstances or any other reason then that’s just some of the sh*t that you have to deal with when buying and selling online, and more specifically, on a forum. However, it does work both ways – if you f*** people around then be prepared to get f***ed around yourself and possibly risk having your name dragged through the dirt…I seem to recall a recent incident with a Thumb BO…etc… Either way, in all sale deals it’s always good to treat the other person with as much respect as possible and let them know the whole situation as it is – i.e. if there’s a chance it is going to be withdrawn/sold to another person/etc, then let whoever is involved know about it. The same goes for buying as well – don’t ask for pics and negotiate on a price if you can’t afford it or have no intention of buying the item in question. Are these not just old issues repeating themselves in a slightly different format though? I’d also have to agree with Wayne on this one…

[quote name='aceuggy' post='263872' date='Aug 17 2008, 11:18 AM']Is there any difference between that and this one? [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Electro-Harmonix---Big-Muff-Pi~ID~6148.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~E...-Pi~ID~6148.asp[/url][/quote] Yeah – That’s the USA Big Muff PI reissue which has been around for a long time, but the one from dolphin is the brand new Bass Big Muff, so it’s a bass specific version of the Big Muff and brand new for 2008.

I bought a DigiTech Synth Wah from Rudy's in 2003. He gave me a generous discount cos I had a bit of a chat with him and it was a display model or something. Great shop; i remember he had a lot of really expensive Warwicks in stock when i was in there, and a few custom finish ones as well. I'll go back one day...
