  1. Must be a small pedal though. I've considered the Line 6 DL4 and the Memory man, but they're a little too big really. I'm looking to keep the size down. I've already got a Flashback that's great, but I want another delay to go after that, and my reverbs, the idea being that the phrase that's being reversed is the processed sound from them. I should say that I don't lie Boss pedals, so that discounts the DD7. Any suggestions would be most welcome .
  2. [quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1495662753' post='3305767'] Excellent price!! [/quote] Excellent pedal .
  3. [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1495362760' post='3303184'] Just don't get this "owned by (insert famous name)" guff. It's a mass produced instrument. The magic was in JJ's fingers and brain, not a piece of wood with bits of metal stretched along its length. JJ would have made magic with a Satellite copy. The only good thing is that a famous player's family sometimes gets to make a bit out of these sales. Other than that, it's bullshit. [/quote] Exactly. There's more to sounding like someone than owning the same bass.
  4. What a great guy! Roman replied to a wanted advert of mine, and sold me a really excellent reverb pedal. Highly recommended. .
  5. Like new. A really nice distortion pedal. In like new condition. Price includes next day delivery.
  6. 1970's jazz to start with, mainly due to a guy that taught me for a couple of years, he was really into Jaco and that. Then I discovered solo bass, and Steve Lawson particularly, and realised just what a tremendously versatile instrument the bass was.
  7. [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1495225709' post='3302368'] Nice. I particularly liked 04-22. Very soothing. [/quote] Thanks . There's lots of new stuff on my Soundcloud page. I also recently played a couple of gigs in Paris, there's recordings of those, and also some videos on my Youtube page.
  8. I have a new record released on vinyl. It can be ordered here: [url="http://store.championversion.com/album/04-19-22-23-29"]http://store.championversion.com/album/04-19-22-23-29[/url] [attachment=245630:Record.jpg]
  9. There's a solo bassist I know uses one when he's tapping, I guess it's for when he's playing open strings.
  10. [quote name='obi 2 kenobi' timestamp='1495119136' post='3301436'] Hi, how do you get a refund - what did you say to your bank ? I also paid by credit card with zero delivery. Thanks [/quote] Just phone them. There should be a section that deals with problems like this. I had a problem with a company a couple of years ago. I'm with Natwest, I had to send them screenshots of my correspondence etc. I got the refund within a week.
  11. ambient

    -

    I used to use two, they're fine with bass, even when using an ebow for deep synth like pads.
  12. In excellent condition, complete with box and toneprint cable. £50 plus £5 for next day special delivery. [attachment=245532:IMG_2192.JPG]
  13. I use Skype for teaching. It's fine for that, but there is a slight delay.
  14. [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1495045303' post='3300865'] Haha.... "Rhythmstick" album. It don't get any better than that. Sitting, standing. I think AJ can play standing on his head. [/quote] I'm sure I once heard that Al Jarreau sacked him for not standing.
  15. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1495041101' post='3300808'] I'm also not impressed with any bedroom clip or any bass players sitting down playing along to a click or recording. You have to be standing up playing live in a band with other musicians to impress me. Blue [/quote] The standing up is really important is it?

  16. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1495029255' post='3300630'] Did he ask if he could touch your gear? I'm happy to let people play mine AFTER they've asked. As others have said get in touch with his employers. [/quote] I'm happy after they've asked, and then washed their hands!
  17. [quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1495034117' post='3300725'] No I paid via the online card service so unless they do something the moneys gone. Thankfully not thousands lost but if they are that carefree about customers money no matter how small the amount then............hmmmmm. [/quote] Get in touch with your bank or credit card issuer. They'll refund you.
  18. [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1495015694' post='3300413'] I thought I should update this thread. I have still had no response from Stringbusters after they took my money. No response on the phone, no emails, and I even sent them a Facebook message which has been read but ignored. I opened a dispute with PayPal which has been escalated. They have until the 23rd to respond but so far there hasnt been any acknowledgement whatsoever. I would recommend that nobody uses these guys again. It's fair enough for a company to run into problems, but there's absolutely no excuse for this behaviour. I cant even buy replacement strings elsewhere until I get my money back because buying Elixirs in bulk isn't cheap! Anybody know of anywhere else I can get these without paying through the nose? [/quote] DV247 sell Elixir strings. Whether they're a good price I don't know, I don't use them. I recently bought some a 6 string bass set of Thomastiks from them and they were £30 cheaper than anywhere else.

  19. I always get mine from either Amazon or strings direct. Both have fantastic customer service. Whenever I've looked on the string buster website they've always been out of stock with whatever I've wanted. DV247 are good too. I just bought a 6 string set of Thomastik flats for about £30 less than anywhere else was selling them for.
  20. [quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1495028505' post='3300619'] I think this is not a video about bass playing, to me it clearly looks like a demo video for the Maruszczyk Pi bass he's playing and, from the look of it, endorsing with a signature model. It's all about the bass, not the player. [/quote] That's the point people are missing.
  21. I thought the tone rather suited the style of playing.
  22. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1495013483' post='3300380'] Sorry - I've never heard of him. [/quote] [url="http://www.stevelawson.net"]http://www.stevelawson.net[/url]
