  1. Just sent this: ------------ Hi there, I am interested in this item. Could you tell me where and when you bought the bass, weather it came with all the hardware shown (especially the ashtray covers) and the serial number (this will settle my mind about its age and exact model) Look forward to hearing from you ------------ Bear in mind my username on eBay is WWWBASSCHATCOUK !!!! ped
  2. Good choices Yorks! I would probably go for: Mike Patton - Vox Me - Bass Christophe Godin - Guitar JR Robinson - Drums
  3. Is it a slab front? I found slab bodies a bit uncomfortable myself. Cheers ped
  4. Lolz good one. I was ready to get all angry about the landlord! ped
  5. Looks great (both versions). I like your approach to building, trial and error and a spirit for adventure. I wish I had the skills to play around like that, too. Cheers ped
  6. Cool samples, great sounding bass.
  7. Hi mate, glad you like it. Interesting you mention the top horn, a year later the design was changed and the horns brought 'in' a bit more. I have had a few Passions now and I have to say I MUCH prefer the Schaller bridge to the newer Kahler units. I suppose the chrome looks a little out of place, a black one would fit better visually, with black hardware... I will PM you a spec sheet/manual that explains the circuit in the bass. Very quirky but lots of unique sounds in it. You can remove the control knobs by popping off the 'lid' on each knob IIRC... My bass is a bit different, and Vigier changed things about a lot in the early days. Post some clips of you playing if you can, and I hpe you give it a good and permanent home! Cheers ped P.s found this pic recently, looks like your bass! (actually it's a series 3 but a similar colour!)
  8. Great news on the sale - would be interested to hear your thoughts when you get your hands around her sweet and supple French neck ped
  9. Don't blame you mate. Royal Fail Parcel Farce Post Orifice All pretty hit and miss IME!
  10. I don't think in ear monitoring could replace an oxygen tank, but I would be the first to suggest you try! ped
  11. Phew! That's that sorted then. Next? ;0)
  12. [quote name='AM1' post='379510' date='Jan 13 2009, 07:12 PM']Even putting all the suggested resources into a Wiki, doesn't provide what I am asking to be provided, which is a sub-forum, where new players can identify each other, interact and those wish to assist with questions, can do so in a mentoring capacity.[/quote] Are you asking me or telling me
  13. I need to see the resources to weigh up having a forum with them pinned or a reference section or nothing at all, so if you could send them to me, or a list of them that would help us decide. Cheers ped
  14. I recently asked a very 'beginner' question and got lots of answers. If I had posted that on a beginners forum, what would the difference be, do you think? Cheers ped
  15. I am still waiting for these 'resources' too...
  16. You would be surprised how the front pickup sounds on this bass, like a mixture of stingray and P bass. Definitely sounds like it is further forward if you catch my drift. Unlike some basses with a similar layout each pickup is very usable on its own. Cheers ped
  17. [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='377178' date='Jan 11 2009, 09:32 PM']That confirms it then!! I always thought that the luthier's craft was somewhat close to being a practitioner of the black arts!![/quote] Plus the one!
  18. CHRISDABASS - technically it isn't me who will be putting the tickets together, I am just doing the [s]rigging[/s] draw at the end :0) [quote name='Weird War' post='378212' date='Jan 12 2009, 08:17 PM']I've never played a Warwick but I do like an occasional flutter so count me in. A shame that a charity element can't be figured in somehow but never mind. I'll have a think and let you know if I have a 'Eureka!' moment. Cheers Doug p.s. Ped, any chance of a Vigier in the next raffle...? [/quote] Not one of mine I am afraid but in principle I think there is some mileage in this whole raffle idea. We will have to see how well it goes!! l8rz ped
  19. Hi mate sorry about that, probably should have arranged something! I will check one out ASAP and have yours if I like it (there is a shop down the road selling them) Cheers ped
  20. Ritar-DED (Deranged Encompassing Design)
  21. I don't know but I hope you get the chance to send them to me before you find out ;0)
  22. Madness! I have never seen a better condition series 2 bass. I don't think I ever will, they didn't make many!
  23. Simon1964 has kindly offered to check into the legality of this 'auction' (turns out there may be a problem with doing a raffle for personal profit or some such, don't ask me why) so I hope nobody minds if we bear that in mind... by all means register interest in the meantime until we know either way. Cheers ped P.s sorry Thunderthumbs, I probably should have looked into it before!
