  1. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1372618172' post='2127779'] I've just caught some of Nick Cave . Now he[i] is [/i]unequivocally dire . I would rather attach lead weights to my scrotum than endure much more of his pretentious maudeline and morose drivel . Who the f*** enjoys this rubbish ? They must be deaf or stupid or both . It's like watching one of The Munsters doing karaoke . Complete and utter bollocks . [/quote] The man is a genius, lyrically and musically. Witness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx9P6qB3R8E
  2. If its £10 for the lot, I'll take 'em
  3. Good man! Cheers Lozz
  4. Shoot me down but they sound like a pub band covering the Stones
  5. Ha ha! I do know you Chris. Definitely drop a line to Gareth. He really liked the bass but not quite enough to displace the Veillette (which he had made for him) in his affections. One point, it has a pretty slim J type neck.
  6. Chris I thought you declared this bass fugly!!!!! In answer to your question, its not the original Lace Sensor but appears to be a DiMarzio P pickup and sounds like a good thumping P should. I recommend you drop a PM to Gareth (walbassist) who had it on trial and played it extensively before deciding he preferred his Veillette - he will give you an honest appraisal
  7. Wicked, jack. I have one coming this week
  8. Mike Lulls are under 8 pounds but cost nearer 2000 pounds! http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mike_Lull_V4.html
  9. [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1372501357' post='2126464'] Or the clear spot of floor in a teenagers bedroom...? [/quote] Not quite so snappy a name for the band posters though
  10. .. and these have arrived! [attachment=137940:1044329_543230592390600_1500177226_n.jpg]
  11. Its on iplayer now - what fun! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01c2hrr/Glastonbury_2013_Chic_feat._Nile_Rodgers_Glastonbury_2013/
  12. Contact Alan Cringean of ACG Guitars - his preamps apparently can sound very Wal-like http://www.acguitars.co.uk/shop/
  13. Keith helped me out with a swap of DB pickups (as mine didn't fit my bass), thanks again!
  14. Cheers Loz! Hope all is well with you and M
  15. yep, well I'm not in a tearing hurry to sell any more as my 63P sold last week ... and this is my best looking bass IMHO so if it doesn't sell its not a biggie for me
  16. Its what i did when I had the Eko B3 gypsy style acoustic bass (oval soundhole meant no pickup would fit across). I had a problem with feedback at volume though which is why I moved it on. I fear the beast you are looking at might be similar unless you went for some kind of magnetic pickup which would of course make it sound more like a 'normal' bass
  17. When I had an acoustic bass, these came highly recommended (and not made any more): Fishman rare earth acoustic bass pickups http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210996-fishmann-rare-earth-acoustic-bass-guitar-pickup/page__p__2123388#entry2123388
  18. Maybe one of the K&K floating pickups? http://www.jp-guitars.co.uk/sales/pickups_and_amplification/kandk_acoustic_guitar_pickups_archtop.htm
  19. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1372338512' post='2124491'] Clarkys first post in particular is belittling people for talking about bass stuff on a bass forum which seems a bit daft & counterproductive to me. [/quote]My post was not meant to belittle - I take part in the very same threads I was referring to (I thought in a firmly tongue-in-cheek manner). I was merely wishing aloud that a faction of the energy that goes into those threads be directed to the recording forum. Anyway I've said my piece.
  20. [quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1372332223' post='2124361'] I've just fitted a Full Circle and used one of Rogers custom clips. It was a doddle to fit and is really solid. Anyone looking for an improved tailpiece jack socket mount should check these out. Many thanks Roger [/quote] Spookily, I have one of Roger's clips anchoring the jack socket on my Full Circle too! Very cool little device and less fiddly than the Lando clamp (albeit thats pretty good too! I have one on my other bass)
  21. Hi there, its a little trim pot on the top edge (you would need a fine screwdriver to adjust it). I have to say I've never touched it. Here's the manual [url="http://eaamps.com/UploadedPDFs/micro%20doubler%20manual%20hi%20res.pdf"]http://eaamps.com/UploadedPDFs/micro%20doubler%20manual%20hi%20res.pdf[/url]
  22. Mike, with respect, I hardly think greyparrot was promoting Fender. I think they are capable of doing that for themselves
  23. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1372318711' post='2124116'] I am genuinely interested in why greyparrot needed to make to post in the first place, and then why others were obliged to back him up. [/quote] A large proportion of my posts are written purely because I am bored or distracted at work, no deep-seated philosophical reason
  24. Erm, actually I live in Barnes, Chris. So that would be a no
  25. Would entertain offers close to the asking price
