Oh we do saturday night as well, although we tend to do it faster (not intentionally, it always ends up stupid fast!). Love the bassline on that when it is more at this speed.

Need?? What kind of crazy heritic talk is this?

Not sure I am following - on all forums the newest threads are at the top, and in the thread the posts are in chronological order. Not sure I am following your comparing a forum with a topic. Is that what you mean? It seems logical. Newer threads are at the top so you can see what has changed, but if you commit to wanting to contribute to a 2600+ page joke you want it to be in order. Or am I not following what you mean?

Is it not? Well, you learn something new every day I guess!

Hi, Ads don't get deleted around here, they just get locked for replies.

At the end of my last gig, the weekend before last, a guy wandered up and said that my bass lines were great and really lifted the songs away from a standard rock / pop song, and the bass tone was really good. OK, to be fair, he is one of the guitarists that is joining the band after the current one leaves (that was his last gig), but he didn't have to say that, he is in anyway!

That was always a possible / probably outcome. We do. You weren't in a situation that was any good, which was basically being a backing band to the guitarists ego in practice sessions. That would have continued and stayed the same. While you know what you want, put some feelers out, put stuff on JoinMyBand (I know everyone complains about it but I have got 2 bands through it) and see if you can get a gigging band together, that is where you want to head, and that was not the direction the other band wanted to go.

It can't be easily done because it works by putting a button on the bar that the reply button is on, which is obviously missing on a forum in which you can't reply (which is why mods can see it). it could be done with another plugin but currently I don't have access to being able to make new plugins. Certainly it isn't something I have ruled out, as I would like to be able to do plugins, as I think there are a few we could do with and I do think it would be a good thing as I think it would make the wanted forum a lot more useful (as would closing things you no longer want).

In a way certainly, although the ric's bridge and pointy metalwork presents an additional challenge. I don't find P basses comfortable and think the sticking up screws on their bridges aren't good, and although I have had a few jazzes, they never seemed very comfortable or flexable, but the ric does have its own things. Having said that, my first years were on an ibanez ric copy so I recon I could cope with it. Just not willing to bet that much money that I am right!

Is it a non reversable mod? I mean would the retailer notice that something had happened to it? I must admit I was almost in the same boat with the 4003s5, they finally made a 5 string, I could use it, but it is a lot of money if you don't like it, and couldn't find one to try anywhere, so went without. Probably just as well!

Indeed - its a good place to look, although as you say they are not common (I suspect more so in europe) - I almost got one once, when I was looking for a 6 string. There is no problem replying about things, or researching and discussing particular basses etc, but when it comes to selling, the forum can only exist due to small payments made on sales on the marketplace of basses over £150, hence open selling offers on other forums are prohibited.

Oh didn't need it, I just chipped a bit of the leg of this old Thomas Chippendale sideboard that was kicking around.

Yeh, but I had to replace my maple shims with rosewood as the tone was too bright

There is, there is a very active marketplace with the rules pinned to the forum. It costs money to post in it (nothing like reverb or ebay prices) as either a one off or a yearly subscription.

oh at least those are in the tonewood category so they won't destroy the sound of an instrument like a pice of card!

ok, didn't read that far back, I was just commenting on the bit you quoted. and a thread is often about many things regardless to how it started.

he specifically said on a vibrating table, ie, an acoustic instrument. It would make absolutely no difference on an electric only instrument

If you read it it was mentioned that that it was actually ending earlier, or adding sections that weren't in groups of 4 bars.

On the plus side it is now out in the open, he knows how you feel. And he is right, maybe you are musically compatible, he thinks music is about everyone listening to him, and you don't. So get that advert in all the jmb and bandmix sort of sites and start recruiting for another band while the iron is hot

You don't need to look at a scammed page, you can actually look at their own page and see a wall of complaints

Everyone knows that Leo agonised over the tonewood of the first basses he did.

True, you could end up with a fender performer!

And that is fine is it?

Yes, their return policy is great. Have you tried using it?
