Please note that with immediate effect, Basschat will not accept any adverts selling or otherwise trading or exposing for sale ANY Rickenbacker products.

What's the neck width like on these compared to a traditional Fender P? -
CMI Shaftesbury Maya Faker Type Bass 1970s MIJ SOLD
Hamster replied to ash's topic in Basses For Sale
It seems there's a healthy market for this sort of thing? Perhaps an excellent intro before investing a lot of dosh in an original? -
Both good choices. IMHO you will play a £100 bass that is really comfortable in your hands better than a £1000 bass that doesn't feel quite right.

FS/FT Warwick Thumb 5 string (Broadneck Custom Shop option.). SOLD.
Hamster replied to Chris2112's topic in Basses For Sale
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Morning all,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm fancying a new toy this morning. So up for trade or sale I put my only bass, my Warwick Thumb 5 string BO with the Broadneck and soapbar options.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Previously owned by our very own Clarky, this bass is in beautiful condition. It's an easy 9/10 on condition, it has been very well looked after and I have enjoyed it immensely but I fancy a slap machine as I've been listening to a lot of Stuart Hamm lately. Yes, my bandmates, sound engineer and producer will no doubt lament me moving on the Warwick but I fancy a change. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Some pictures, borrowed from Eude:[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass comes with a Warwick Rockbag, tool kit, manual and wax. I may be able to source a hardcase to post it, if you so wish.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Trade wise I'm not sure what I'm after, so I would be open to offers but ideally I'd like something quite bright and slappy. For sale, I'd like £900 so trades of about that value (I can add some cash for the right bass).[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I look forward to hearing from you![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Chris[/font][/color] -
[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1369685267' post='2091672'] Another bit of happy irony is that I expect a fair few people are trying to sell their fakers to put the money towards a real deal Ric. They won't be able to buy one now. Nice own goal. [/quote] I'm sure JH and his legal team will have thought their way out if that particular paper bag.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1369308168' post='2087521'] Changing your signature is futile - the robots indexing the sites are not logged in when they do so. You have to be logged in for the signatures to be visible... [/quote] The ''forum glitch" in the settings that was preventing web bots from seeing signatures seems to have un-glitched itself.

The documentation is here - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173238-notice-for-owners-of-rickenbacker-copies/page__view__findpost__p__1611094

If we decide to allow Rickenbacker content, it might be wise to mark every for sale thread title along this kind of template: For Sale: Fender Jazz Bass (NOT A RICKENBACKER COPY) That way we are making our position very clear - and any Google search on our website would show that we are not selling a RICKENBACKER COPY and there would not be any confusion or waste of time by anyone.
-
There is a difference between a 'registered design', 'copyright' and 'patent.' JH has registered the designs in the EU, and we are under EU legislation which generally makes it illegal to copy, reproduce etc or expose for sale or hire. I therefore cannot see how the registered design is infringed upon if photographs are displayed in a context where they are not being exposed for sale or hire. It may be much easier to make Basschat a totally 'Rickenbacker Free Zone' so the admins don't get any more bullish emails and live under constant threat of legal action.
-
Please all note the further registered design we have just been notified about. This means that we cannot allow ANY photographs of Rickenbacker copies in for sale/trade adverts.

I'd love to go but too far from down here -
That should be working? Try navigating from your profile page and look at posts/topics under the 'overview'

Hi It's just another thing we're saving up to fix I'm afraid! Sorry [size=4] [/size]

Nice one! - You'd better get all your old bass tabs out and start practising! [size=4] [/size]

You have a for sale ad in the marketplace - which is the correct forum. This is not the correct forum.

Classic rock songs that would suit a female vocalist

Great with a keyboard - but I could never quite crack the Tom Petty drawling harmony line![url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UD0c58nNCQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UD0c58nNCQ[/url] -
[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1364793398' post='2030889'] Basschat is attracting some interesting people these days.

Hi Hadge - what browser are you using? - It seems to be visible. If you can't see it try refreshing /clearing your cache
-
Ummmm - lots to think about. Do you use a fixed program or sound to light or do you tailor each program to particular songs?

It's not so much a matter as 'coming clean' - it's a matter of finding any evidence of a data compromise. The fact that the site got hacked was publicised a couple of months ago. There did not appear to be any compromise of data. We still can't find any evidence that data was taken from here, but it seems inevitable that some data was taken - through no fault of our own. I haven't had any spam of the kind mentioned here, but my work e-mail address (which I only use internally) has been spammed with those mails, and that's on a .gsi network. On the other thread there was a suggestion that Basschat was sending out spam emails - that's utter nonsense and the reason it was locked. There are just some very clever and malicious people out there that can hack into the FBI, the CIA and other very very secure Government websites. Basschat, and any other forum is no different.

I really can't get to the bottom of the notifications behaviour. I've got over 17,000 of them in my inbox! Hopefully now that we have some money coming in we can purchase the forum platform upgrades and pay someone to install them

[quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1364332978' post='2025096'] Im with you, I have been using the Thomans Starville led par cans now for years and they have been great. i use 4 per side with a behringer dmx controler as the starville dmx master 1 packed in. lots of good reasons for getting them, power saving .. if you use the old par bulbs 500w even 1000w each thats alot of power to use on the usually limited sockets at a venue the bulbs are almost wasted anyway unless you have something for the light to fall on so a fogger or a hazer will help the lights make the show. the great thing about the dmx controllers is you can program each song, worth spending a bit of time to get to grips on Just test/try on one song see what effect it has and befor you know it your hooked, and add other bits along the way the dmx bars are very handy very quick to set up, all wiring power and sig is internal. And a big plus is they are light,( excuse the pun ) so hamster if keep your eyes out on ebay you can get some gooood used deals, i went for these.. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/stairville_led_lighting_kit_par56_10mm_s.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ar56_10mm_s.htm[/url] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/behringer-eurolight-lc2412-Dmx-Light-Mixer-Controller-/300880933995?pt=UK_ConElec_LightingLEDsStrobes_RL&hash=item460de6b46b"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item460de6b46b[/url] i know £204 x2 is alot for lights then fogger and poles, but as said keep your eye on ebay. i got a real good deal eg my controller as above for £35. PS,,,, another great investment if using lights, to get the best out of them get a black back drop ! ! worth the effort. [/quote] The cash I can do - but that's a shitload of buttons to press on a DMX controller!

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1364321429' post='2024879'] I gave up using the search engine on this site ages ago, in favour of using "site:basschat.co.uk" in a google search. [/quote] I have to agree Pete. The engine that came with this version of the board sucks compared to the last one. We're currently saving up to buy the next raft of upgrades and pay our webdev to install them - and then hopefully 'search' will work properly again!
