Does this not take your fancy? - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16697"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16697[/url]

Those Marleaux Signature basses look incredible but unfortunally very likely to be out of my price rage by about 2 or 3 times what I could stretch to...damn. Interested in the Godlyke Deity fretless 4, any idea of asking price and pictures?
-
Dude…as other have said; I am AMAZED this is still here. This is a lot of amp for £300 here. -
ok, what say ye on a price drop to £30

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='186408' date='Apr 27 2008, 12:09 PM']The original query asks who 'you' think is over-rated... surely if you list a bassist that you don't like, that then means that they can't be over-rated. You don't rate them at all, hence they can not by definition be over-rated by you [/quote] ahh...the refreshing voice of reason

[quote name='BassManKev' post='186367' date='Apr 27 2008, 11:11 AM']for me nothing beats good old fashioned playing [/quote] True. I think I appreciate it on a “man, I wish I could do that” kind of level cos it’s technically amazing and a good bit of ear candy, and I think the double slap techniques are well impressive and sound great. Saying this, I can also appreciate a simple groove that’s perfectly played with the perfect feel – there’s a lot to be said for not over complicating things. I almost find it shocking that Victor Wooten has been mentioned quite a few times yet Marcus Miller has not? Is it because he has his own signature Jazz? Both amazing players in their own right, and both 'over use' their individual technique or might be called "one trick ponies". In my mind this doesn't detract from their musicianship or make their music any less enjoyable to listen to.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='186332' date='Apr 27 2008, 10:24 AM']for the reasons that have already been said in the first page of this thread sure, he can play fast, but to my ears, most double slap sounds pretty, well, rubbish...[/quote] not exactly well argued points, but whilst I don't agree with you on the double slap thing being "rubbish" (as it is incredibly skilful - can you do it?), i subscribe to Oscar South's views that he is an amazing musician and his arrangements are incredible. Slapping aside, if you haven’t watched or heard him playing Norwegian Wood then check it out.

[quote name='oddjob' post='186100' date='Apr 26 2008, 07:03 PM']you wanna sound big and punchy and in tune. Compressor and Tuner Demeter Compulator in the for sale section, lots of people including myself recommend them, or EBS multicomp are the two major contenders. Tuner: Boss TU-2, Korg DT-10 i think, or peterson strobostomp if you think you can hear a difference of 0.1 cent. For 3 piece type stuff like u2 greenday chillies my personal preference is not to go with effects that take away from the bottom end of the bass like fuzz or synth. You just want to be rock solid, punchy, supplying the low stuff otherwise it looses its energy. IMO.[/quote] yawn...booooooooooring haha i know what you're saying though, those are kind of the foundations of a pedal board. I've never had a problem with keeping the low end with fuzz effects in a band situation though. Good recommendations though if those are the first pedals you own.

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='186048' date='Apr 26 2008, 05:49 PM']The Yamaha QY10 is a hand-held music workstation produced by the Yamaha Corporation in the early 1990s. Possessing a MIDI sequencer, a tone generator and a tiny single-octave keyboard, the portable and battery-powered QY10 enables a musician to compose music while travelling. Got to be worth the postage to someone? Is in it's box and with the manual. Stick a fiver in my paypal and it's yours.[/quote] take a cheque? dont have paypal

a lot of controversial bass players being named as being 'over rated
-
a massive factor in what you buy will be budget...? but this said, don't be fooled into thinking that the more you spend the better you sound will be as this is not necessarily the case. Maybe go to a local large music shop with a good selection of different pedals and try a few things out. A classic starting point would be a fuzz of some description, a good reference point would be a Little Big Muff at around £45 new (don’t know about Australian $). Great sounding budget fuzz. Give it a whirl...

cheers for the advice guys...not sure it's helping my sale though, it does look like a worth while mod in any case

another reason to avoid fleabay like you would avoid stabbing yourself in the face with a carving knife, f***em

I think that it would be polite to introduce yourself before you sell but if you're new to the forum then you may be completely unaware that there's a general feeling that this should be done before you sell, so some new users (like myself) are oblivious to this and sell straight away and then get involved more with general forum banter etc later. I agree with possibly having had to have made a certain number of posts before being able to sell. My housemates are members of talkaudio.co.uk and that forum has a regulation that blocks users from posting new topics in the "for sale" section until they have made 50 posts, although I think 50 may be a little excessive. Having said this, I do understand from the admin perspective that the marketplace generates a lot of traffic.

Sounds like an idea to wear thin shoes, my regular trainers of choice at the moment are these ...http://www.psyche.co.uk/man-145/footwear-168/goliath-footwear-slogger-trainer-44343-5740_zoom.jpg... so they're not exactly massive. Guess I will have to learn to be more accurate and concentrate on where my feet are flapping about. Sometimes I wear some Nike SB classics which are a bit fatter or Adidas Chile 62 which are thinner than all the others but mid set pedal stomping issues still occur. Maybe concentration is the key...

[quote name='Scoop' post='185687' date='Apr 26 2008, 01:37 AM']I was a journalist on Kerrang (plus a few other mags) and I was also a rock club DJ about two billion years ago. As a consequence I have a pretty enormous collection of rock albums, mainly from the mid 80s to mid 90s which I frankly never ever listen to anymore. The collection is a mixture of LP, 12" singles and CDs. They're cluttering the place up and I haven't even owned a working turntable at home since about 1997... At a conservative estimate I'd say there are between 1500 and 2000 items in total. There are a lot of promo copies, white labels and rareties in there and there are frankly too many to catalogue; in fact it's the very idea of actually going through them and listing them which has stopped me making any effort to be rid in the past. I'm based in Liverpool . Come and browse (I'll make you a cuppa) and take what you want in return for folding money. If you want the lot, hell, I'll make you two cups of tea. Oh, but do let me know you're coming first...[/quote] Liverpool...damn. Any chance I could PM you with a list and see if you've got any of the ones that I might be after?

[quote name='steve-norris' post='185599' date='Apr 25 2008, 09:34 PM']Buy this and this [url="http://www.monteallums.com/pedal_mods.html#cs3optoPlus"]http://www.monteallums.com/pedal_mods.html#cs3optoPlus[/url] and you have a very nice compressor [/quote] Looks like a great little mod, and cheap too. Do you use one Steve?

I played one of these in a recording session once when i was just waiting around cos it was the studio's bass. I wasn’t impressed at all but saying that, the strings were about 8mm off the fret board and were completely dead and the neck wasn’t straight. All in all it's left me with a bad taste for jaguar basses but I know this is probably just due to that particular one being rubbish. I think they look great though and I’d love to play one that's been set up well.
