Hi Ash and welcome You've come to the right place for loads of free and friendly advice. Hamster

[quote name='dood' post='35212' date='Jul 21 2007, 01:44 PM']OBBM uses Klotz cable and Neutric connectors. Pretty much some of the best out there. I'm not sure what 'Koltz Kik' is or who Neutronik are.[/quote] They're the names of his kids Hamster

[quote name='jwbassman' post='35054' date='Jul 21 2007, 12:48 AM']Hey Hamster GTA - I don't think so ... I mean the Jaco chart, it's on the Word of Mouth Album and also features on the Birthday Concert... John[/quote] Check with your keyboard player - the GTA one is a lot easier

[quote name='Dillsfretless' post='35093' date='Jul 21 2007, 08:21 AM']Machinehead music in Hitchin is a good shop. They have a couple of small rooms with just basses. Their website is pretty useful - www.machinehead.co.uk Good staff as well.[/quote] How would you score it?

If it sounds good, it might be a pretty good seller. Looks like you can easily pick it up for sub £300 prices. They don't state how they measure the "550watts" - it can make a difference. Hamster

[quote name='tredders' post='35005' date='Jul 20 2007, 10:56 PM']Hi all I'm considering replacing the pups in my MIA P bass with something a little 'fatter'.... There seems to be a fair bit of choice, including the Wizard ones reviewed in the reviews section. I'm looking for a kind of vintage sound (think Duck-like!), lots of bottom (oo-er), and not too bright. Oh, and I'm also completely useless with a soldering iron, so would appreciate a recommendation of where to get 'em fitted too, in the Leamington / Banbury / Warwick area! Cheers all Mark.[/quote] I've heard these are quite good - [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/shop/products.php?category=325&product=5529"]Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage[/url] and these too [url="http://www.delano.de/english/4-string/pc4al.html"]Delano Hot Vintage[/url] As for a guitar tech, try Pete Allen 01926 499012 [url="http://www.guitartechnicalservices.co.uk"]www.guitartechnicalservices.co.uk[/url] he's in Warwick Hamster

[quote name='jwbassman' post='35048' date='Jul 21 2007, 12:32 AM']Hi guys... Any of you performed Liberty City? The keyboard player in the big band though it would be a good idea to do an arrangement for the band - and he picked this chart - no pressure on the bass player then! Have any of you guys performed it and if so do you have any hints or tips on learning it and making a decent fist of it? Cheers John[/quote] Can't say I know they track - You mean the theme to Grand Theft Auto? Hamster

Hello Murph and welcome! - you're only up the road from me Post Growler's gigs in the gigs section and I'll probably come see you and have a chat/beer. Hamster

[quote name='bish789' post='34898' date='Jul 20 2007, 07:44 PM']Anyway, any tips for a bass beginner?[/quote] Welcome Bish - you're in good company here! A good starter tip - get a good bass players hat Hamster

[quote name='slemm' post='33716' date='Jul 18 2007, 04:37 PM'][attachment=1242:jbdeluxe_gross.jpg]Does anyone out there know anything about these guitars. Have my heart set on JB Deluxe it was love at first sight.[/quote] Don't know anything about them, except I get a warm squidgy feeling :wub: :wacko: Got any bigger pics? Hamster

[quote name='slemm' post='32683' date='Jul 16 2007, 07:54 PM']Can you use any wireless guitar system for bass or do you have to use specific ones made especially for bass. Thanks for any help Steve[/quote] There's been a recent discussion about the best one to go for [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=711"]Wireless systems[/url] Hamster

[quote name='markdavid' post='33560' date='Jul 18 2007, 12:53 PM']Hi all, Have been thinking about taking my bass for a setup as the action on the bass is quite high at the moment , how much do you think it will cost to get my bass setup[/quote] Depending on where you go, and presuming there is nothing "wrong" apart from needing a simple neck setup, ball park is £35 - £100. Hamster

[quote name='skywalker' post='33446' date='Jul 18 2007, 09:27 AM']I did think about the old case thing, but you never know where it's been. (Ref to the narcotics thing). Maybe an idea to slap a few stickers on a new case. Steve[/quote] If they were that good, they would be barking at every £50 and $100 note that's in your pocket Hamster

Is it me, or are there some descriptions that have missing pictures? Hamster edit: - no, it's me. I guess my 20Mb download speed just can't download half a dozen pictures in 1 minute edit: - and posting interface thing playing up again :wacko:
