  1. Those words are far more effective if you aren't staring at their hand!
  2. Why would you have needed lifeboats on a ship that wasn't going to sink? Makes perfect sense. Plus, when they made a law that all boats had to have enough lifeboats for everyone, at least 1 boat, the eastland, rolled over under the weight of the lifeboats and 800 people died. Either way, this is playing the bass, however bad you are its unlikely anyone is going to die
  3. Not sure why there is an issue - just say 'sure' and leave it at that, IME these things never get round to happening. If anything it is just a problem for another day
  4. There are a lot of prices on reverb that are just crazy, I guess they are there just in case someone is daft enough to pay it. You can still buy them new less than £400, so there is no point paying more than that for a second hand one
  5. I did contact them to see how much a neck for a 5 string Ibanez Premium is, and it was about $1100 which seemed not such a bad deal as a way of getting into that.
  6. My spare is acrylic and lights up green and blue. So its not really a spare, I swap to it at the half time mark, it is mostly not as good as the other bass I have, and it is way heavier, but it gets a good reaction and looks good. I couldn't wear it for a whole gig, but one 1.5 hour stint is ok.
  7. I couldn't really go for that peach but would rather not have roadworn. The prices have gone up a lot, the flee was under £800 when it came out a few years ago, so it seems very overpriced now, but you can see it has things like the rosewood neck etc that are less budget. Also was not a fan of the controls on a passive bass, not enough separation between pickups (which is I assume why Leo stopped doing them quite quickly). Price hard to say, I couldn't pay that for either, but as it seems you have already made the decision, congrats on a new bass!
  8. They also do them as an add on to an existing one of their boards. When I got mine the delay for getting the power supplies was big, so I got the board to set it up, then got the power supply on order. When it came you get new side bars, end bar and feet and just swap them over.
  9. I use either the flat of my fingers or my finger nails to play, depending on the style of the song.
  10. Pretty handy those, they really clean up your pedalboard and they have quite a lot of sockets.
  11. The SY200 pedal does this - not one you want on automatically!
  12. Arent the mk2 pickups the same ones used in the SSFRS-805 etc? I remember that nord did custom pickups for that size.
  13. Love the colour of the neck / frets with the body, really nice contrast. Shouldn't it be under the tree with you waiting until monday though?
  14. Yes, those are the ibanez barts like on most of their models. I think it is only the original prestige models that had the american barts, they are very different
  15. Was yours the one that was in Bass Gallery a while back?
  16. I would probably go for an X32 compact or producer. I used the X32 fill at one point at a festival, and that worked well, although the screen was a bit small
  17. hmm.. wouldn't be keen on that, a lot of waiting around while you have to be there for 5 hours. We have done some odd times at nye, but not that odd.
  18. Not saying bad words about it, but its not one that I would pick to put a very expensive neck on, I would pick something that at least had nord pickups
  19. Does he make necks separately then? Seems that would be an easier way to get one, although why put a neck on a very budget ibanez?
  20. That looks fantastic, I would love that
  21. I would love one, but the price is a bit much! There was one at bass direct but it was one of the bolt ons, and a bit too 4 stringed for me to take a risk on. I presume it is quite light? It looks heavy because of so much wood at the bottom
  22. Something christmassy
  23. Indeed - as I said just a few, not many mariah careys out there are there. And quite a few of those would be better paying streaming services, apple music pays twice what spotify does so that will make it a bit better
  24. I would have thought it was only a few artists living the dream from spotify income - $4000 for a million streams
