MB1. Blooody Hell! Prince has put some weight on!

MB1. HELLO! I am thinking of a possible change in gear and Markbass has been brought to my attention.I will be popping down my local retailer to have a closer look later in the week.I currently use Ashdown gear so i was just wondering if anybody either owns or has experience of this particular combo?,and could provide me with a review of some sort. MANY THANKS (IN ADVANCE) MB1.

( whoopsie, ive started having a pop at 'em )[/quote] MB1. ive seen Robin Trower live, i agree the master of facial expression(and an amazing guitarist too.)

MB1. Ill take that as a NO then!

MB1. Anybody on the forum play this last night?

MB1. Ah So japanese technology not as good as mr tufnell(spinal tap) he plays the other guitar on the stand with his foot.

MB1. This is each to there own really,every time i put a set of strings on a bass weather new or just replacing them after cleaning a fingerboard ,i put them on tune them up, stretch them, tune them up ,stretch them and tune them up ,until theyre stable.I really dont think you need to be this aggresive ,but it is important to stretch the string so the tuning becomes stable.Just putting a set of strings on without stretching youll find they soon go out of tune.Use a tuner though!!!!much more accurate.

MB1. Give it away,Give it away,give it away,Now!

MB1. Interesting!various definitions for the word...... correction.

MB1. Somebody will be in touch,regarding the correction lessons,dont leave town!

MB1. I know it started with LEO but ive got to admit im just not a FENDER man,ive never been able to get on with any of them.However without him i feel i may not be able to express a preference today,would be Double Bass Chat,not as catchy eh?. MB1.

MB1. There are quite a few basses available in that price range but because youre left handed theyre not always going to be available or in stock(i gather youve figured this already).Even the second hand market is never going to be a wash with variety.A lot of manufacturers do offer left handed instruments at a higher price,due to the fact its not classed as a stock item.keep checking the basses for sale column and ebay.Whenever possible try before you buy!You cant go wrong with a fender, musicman,warwick.Warwickwise I personally prefer the thumb bass and they do come up from time to time on ebay.welcome to basschat,hope you find what your after!. All the best MB1.

MB1. Heres hoping they rot in hell!.....Perhaps a little too trusting on your behalf though. will keep my eyes open! all the best MB1.

MB1. On t.v this week, i have bassically been noticing 8x10s AMPEGS AND ASHDOWNS

MB1. Leave the orange crush to REM.

MB1. I kinda get the feeling its no good having a transparent wallet if you wish to go amp transparent?. I agree with the mark king statement i have a kingbass and use ashdown amplification and i cant get it to sound anywhere near as thin as mr kings.

MB1. 3 Woven fender straps which ive had for years(lot longer than some basses ive had) one red,black,beige all straplocked!.
