  1. Which will still be worth orders of magnitude more than ours after march!
  2. I can't be bothered to ask the first time, rather than keep asking. If it doesn't have a price I obviously can't afford it.
  3. Well, thats what you get for not listening to the instructions. Was it, "go and listen to some guy isolated on youtube"? No, it was "go and listen to spotify". If you had done that you wouldn't have been able to hear the bass properly and you could convince yourself you were doing the right thing The only time I have had to relearn is when I have either hashed a version together as I had to learn 20 songs in a week for a gig, and it got ingrained (like moondance), or if I join another group who are doing the same song, and it has turned out that over the years of doing it in another band you have drifted so far from the original it doesn't fit, which is the situations I find myself in. I think both are a bit tricky really, once you have learned a song, changing it is really really hard. After all, I have no idea how I play those songs, I just tell my brain we are playing that song, it tells my fingers and then we get on with it
  4. It is - price is the only thing that really identifies them. I go in thinking, well, I am sort of interested in a player series jazz bass. I don't know much about fenders, they all look similar. I have a budget of around £600 ish, so what is in that bracket. <looks> oh.. so nothing then.
  5. Were you expecting it to recover?
  6. Because some people want it, some people don't. Why does anyone buy a P bass? I have no idea but people seem to want to so it should be offered.
  7. That is pretty bad on a new bass.
  8. So I went into PMT which was the first time in a month, I was in bristol on my own as my wife was off looking round some show thing. I wandered around lookng at stuff, when I wandered into the bass section as people mentioned, there were no prices on anything, and it occured to me how little it makes me want to look at stuff. Looking briefly at the wall with the fenders, because I had a sort of interest in one of those player jazzes, I didn't know what they were, they were all there, the all looked the same. Without prices I couldn't see if anything looked interesting. So I left and went and looked round the keyboards (that mostly did have prices).
  9. I love the nostdstrands. I have a set of Big Singles on my 1605. And on my 2605. and I bought a big bar, which I have yet to use, shame it won't fit on my Maruszczyk .
  10. If you get the bias Amp II application you can try it and see that changing the output transformer actually makes quite a bit of a difference!
  11. Why not the other way round? Why is a Lakland not all you need and the Sire is what you want? But unless you are a professional bass player, you don't actually need either
  12. If it is identical other than the finish but £1000 more, it is up to you whether that finish is worth that much. Obviously you will never get that back, but that is the way of selling things. Mr Stonjek (mr sandberg) did a talk on finishing at one of the LBGS and he covered the relics. There is one guy who does them and he puts quite a bit of effort into it, ensuring that the relicing makes sense for the instrument. Very interesting talk, so it is not just a clone like the fender flea basses or something Oh here:
  13. They tend to be pretty good, although normally they want pictures and offer a discount first.
  14. Our singer says that. He's wrong, he sounds loads better if he hasn't drunk, but I guess that is how he feels.
  15. Law suit? What for - Public Nuisance and Outraging Public Decency?
  16. 1. 15mm spacing 2. the wood on the fingerboard is nice.
  17. I would say both would be fine and are competent, and will do exactly what each other can do. What matters more is how they felt to you.
  18. haha - I would be the other way round. TBH, I don't mind at rehearsal that much, but I do object at gigs. Either way, all things in moderation, quite often my group doesn't moderate very well, and we are shitty because of it. Sometimes it really is. Sometimes you join a group and everything is fine for a while, and those issues come out later. Having a look through the 'worst bandmate' thread, there are quite a few where there is some bandmate who originally was perfectly reasonable and then something happened.
  19. They would need to as noone else is doing it! I read that as pants drawer. I am not sure that wasn't correct!
  20. It is a amazing seeing a website like that now
  21. I have the X18, used to have (actually still do) the XR16, but I wanted to do multichannel recording. Its the same as the XR18 but in a desktop format which was more handy for us at the time. I run it from a tiny little £15 n router from PC world that does better bands (lost control of it at a gig once with the built in). Never caused me any trouble and once you have worked out how it works (which isn't that hard), you don't have to touch much again. Beyond all the complication, when you are running you just have a bunch of sliders like a regular mixer that you turn up and down, and main output (and effects if you want).
  22. You have only left two bands?
  23. It is fancy plywood, but it looks damn perdy..
  24. So you think my 15 piece neck didn’t need titanium?
  25. Maybe. It was on the normal sites at the time (2013?) but it could have been limited as I know the SR5 was, also burl. Maybe they couldn't get enough burl, it is probably easier to get the normal woods they do. It does have the titanium bars in it anyway.
