Hi Phil I see you've removed your post from here? - Are you no longer offering tuition? I tried to PM you, but it bounced back to me. I've just moved house and am up to my neck in decorating/DIY etc, but was hoping to approach you for some lessons when I get sorted. I'm in Addlestone (M.25 j.11) Look forward to hearing good news from you! Cheers

I sent the lad a PM and got a very apologetic reply, he's now amended the auction

Playing the right notes in the wrong order, or 2. Playing the wrong notes in the right order?

If Ritter has started ripping off Stagg designs they're gonna get whacked with a law suit!

Even though I'm a fan of experimental Japanese contextual bass playing, there just weren't enough penguins in it for my taste.

Me & Mrs Hamster are going to tomorrow night's gig in SE24, anyone else coming? - [url="http://halfmoonpub.co.uk/halfmoonblog/?m=20081101&cat=3"]http://halfmoonpub.co.uk/halfmoonblog/?m=20081101&cat=3[/url]

and the point is......................?

First - Welcome! Second - Get your nose in the for sale section, there's always some very good deals there. You could probably get sorted for very close to £200 for a reasonable bass + amp.

I've been closely watching Stingray prices for a few months. Ray's that are 'popular' colours have been going for less than the less 'popular' colours. Personally I don't care for colour matched heads, to others it's important. There's no real rhyme or reason to it, you've just got to be selling yours at the precise time a few people are looking to buy the exact model/finish. If it were me trying to sell, I'd either put it up for £725 ono, or auction it with a BIN of £695, but I've seen matched headstock finishes go for £800+ - but that's really the exception to the rule. Of the last 33 Stingrays up on ebay, only 6 of them sold, and they were: £640 - Teal/Maple £545 - Pearl Blue/Maple £747 - Natural/Maple £650 - Natural/Rosewood £512 - Black/Maple (which imho was the best looking one) £750 - Natural/Rosewood

Probably a little bit less - £500 - £700 if you get very lucky

Welcome Kevin

It's not a bad pedal, but perhaps not for the style of music you play. The Trace Elliot Dual compressor might be a bit more of what you're looking for.

[quote name='church' post='314986' date='Oct 26 2008, 12:55 PM']need a bit of help please. recently started putting an effects pedal board together. at the moment the order is; bass-tuner-wah-chorus-phaser-octivider-graphic eq-preamp. i have just bought a delay pedal and am not sure where to put it. would it be ok between the octivider and graphic? your opinions will be gratefully appreciated. [/quote] It all depends on what sound you like/are looking for. If it was me, I'd go: Bass > Wah > Octivider > Phaser > Chorus > Delay > EQ > Tuner > Preamp Someone will be along in a minute to tell you something completely different

Bought a nice vol/tremelo pedal from Dan - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29656"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29656[/url] Very fast and well wrapped delivery - Cheers!

[quote name='Josh' post='314598' date='Oct 25 2008, 05:16 PM']........why should you escape question, criticism or ridicule?[/quote] Questioning - fine. Criticism - if needed or asked for. But ridicule? I think it's called respect for one another - or am I just being a twat?

The Korg DT-10 is very good. I used to have a Boss TU-2, but imho the Korg is better.

Here's a good effort - bless that bass player!

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='313986' date='Oct 24 2008, 05:03 PM']A book review? Great. Worthwhile stuff. As a history project. Take the book for what it is - a curious collection of writings. Basing a faith on it is something else.[/quote] So, perhaps a question here (not just to you BBC) as to whether the Bible is a collection of loose ramblings or an authoritative historical work? Do you believe that other historical figures like Julius Caesar and Nero were born, did the things they did during their life and then died in the way they did?

It might be just me, but I don't recall seeing that many Warwicks being played in metal bands. I think it's the bass player who really makes the difference anyway - them and the semi-skilled monkey on the PA desk who can make a great bass and great bassist sound like mud!
