ambient

I was looking at this a few weeks ago, there was a Zon fretless 6 that I was considering bidding on. I was told on here though, that it worked out a lot more expensive, and there would still be VAT to pay.

[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1389908864' post='2339537'] I had this on DVD (lost it!!!)- lovely intro solo but I especially love the subsequent palm mute descending line into the first verse. That's the money moment for me :-) [/quote] Didn't realise there was a DVD .

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1389810033' post='2338178'] From this review - [url="http://www.bgra.net/2004/review.php?id=746&type=bass"]http://www.bgra.net/...d=746&type=bass[/url] - the controls are master volume, pan pot for P-J pickup blend, bass and treble boost/cut, a preamp on/off switch, and a pan pot for the P-J and piezo blend. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Yes, made in Japan.[/font][/color] [/quote] I think the switch actually changes the mids. There's no mid control on the bass, but the switch switches in a pre chosen cut or boost at a frequency already in there.

I like Bass gear .

Maybe buy a 4 string set with a separate C string, lots of manufacturers do that.

[quote name='Jonnyboy Rotten' timestamp='1389697565' post='2336934'] No different to taking out a mobile phone contract etc....its a fairly standard request. [/quote] I had to show ID when opening my bank account, and maybe when getting my phone contact, but they [i][b]didn't[/b][/i] take a copy. I would want to know what happens to the copy.

Thanks . I'll enjoy watching that at some point after my exams end on Friday !

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1389658081' post='2336766'] I assume you've seen the whole concert of this on Youtube? [/quote] No, I got that link off his website.

You have to send copies of your passport , why ? Gotta say that's definitely not something that I'd fancy doing. What do they do with it when they've finished with it ? I don't like them, and I'd just be reluctant for them to have a copy of my passport and a utility bill.

Here try this.

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1389658567' post='2336768'] Haha, me too! Ironically, my payment cleared about two hours ago! [/quote] Good . I hate Ebay and Paypal.

I've got a PDF of his Progressive bass concepts book. It's got some transcribed parts in there for 'metropolis' and 'scarred'. The accompanying TAB is for a 6 string, but the parts can be played on a 4.

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1389636860' post='2336404'] Gumtree is eBay. But, Gumtree is where eBay wants private sellers to list, with eBay proper being a part/full-time retailer marketplace. [/quote] I didn't know that .

I don't think you can beat Gumtree. I sold an Ikea bookcase on Gumtree last year. I placed the advert, and literally within 2 minutes of posting it the phone rang with someone wanting it. I've sold 2 basses on there, a condenser mic, studio monitors, an amp, and numerous bits of furniture. Best thing of all is it's free, and they come and collect it and pay cash .

I've got from within as a PDF, I don't seem able to upload it on here though. If you want I can email it you if you want to PM me your email address.

The very first ERB that I saw was a Manson. My uncle who got me into playing gave me a load of his old magazines when I was about 14. There was one magazine from the mid 1980's that had reviews of some 5 and 6 string Manson basses, still got it somewhere in the loft .

I have 100% feedback too, and in over 100 transactions, but I've never sold anything on there, so they'd do the same to me. My sister in law sold a load of furniture and other items from her late Grandfathers house a few months ago. She'd bought loads of stuff but never sold anything. The same happened to her, she had one hell of a job getting her money for one item. The buyer disappeared and didn't leave feedback. It took weeks of emails to paypal and ebay before they released her money. Despite sending them numerous copies of the receipt from the courier and the tracking number showing it as delivered. There's also the risk of the buyer turning around and saying the item is broken or faulty, as happened to my other sister in law. The buyer got a refund, my sister in law received an empty box back from the buyer .

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1389628438' post='2336274'] I have 100% positive feedback! [/quote] You misread me . I mean you have to have sold 100 items and received positive feedback for each one, therefore 100 positive feedbacks as a seller.

I believe they do it if you have less than 100 positive feedbacks as a seller. They hold on to it until the buyer leaves positive feedback, or sometimes later depending on how they're feeling.

I've got some Patitucci stuff that I can upload if you want ?

If it's a weekend that you're going then I should phone ahead, he's not like a normal shop with 9 to 5 opening, especially on a Saturday.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1389566875' post='2335691'] These examples above (& thousands more like them) are the reasons I'd never want to be a professional musician - it really does sound like hell on earth to me. I've never enjoyed playing enough that I'd play anything just to pay the bills. I've known a couple of fantastic musicians who worked in studios, did theatre work etc. for years & just became so unhappy with music they may as well have been working in a factory. [/quote] I don't. The theatre gig was amazing, I'd like to do west end stuff at some time. I got paid £400 a week, played three 40 minute sets 5 nights a week, I could eat what I wanted 24 hours a day and got to see some amazing places that I'd never been to, how can that be hell ?
