Ahhh, fair enough. I'm more of a Cov/B'ham person myself.

Haha, that sounds like a good plan. Not played on a fiver before, so I suppose it would be intresting to see how it played. Only thing is, I'm not sure what the 'rents would think of me suddenly acquiring another bass... Ah well =]

[quote name='budget bassist' post='354422' date='Dec 14 2008, 06:17 PM']Depending which house i come from i may be able to meet you at the station and catch the tram and then the bus down with you[/quote] That'd be great! Don't know my way around Nottingham that amazigly, not been there much.

It is indeed. Any weekend bar the 14th/15th is good for me. Now I just need to figure out the train times and such. There's not a chance of anyone giving me a lift from the station is there? =P

Top bloke Bought a bridge off him, and providing the postie gets off his arse, it should be here today or tomorrow. =] Cheers, would definitely buy/sell to/from him again!

True, but not $1,395.00 nice. I mean you could buy a bass and a decent amp with that, and possibly some pedals with the change!

Well there we go! Does mean your left with a load of old screw holes though I suppose. Hmmm, this might be a job for the local Luthier.

I'm looking into getting some for my VMJ, as it's a bit neck divey at the mo, but I can't quite see whether or not the screws will line up with the existing holes. Anyone got any photo's and will they require a new set of holes? Cheers

Who, what, why and when? XD I wonder what else he has? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, a 1972 Jazz Neck. For $1,395.00! I'll have that. And I quote: "I CAN SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTYFULL JAZZ BASS ROSEWOOD NECKS I HAVE HAD HERE. ASIDE FOR THE BACK, IT IS VERY CLOSE TO BE NEAR MINT." Yes.

We're not a cover band, but we needed to fill some time, so we did a few things. The Dr Who jam. Think crunchy distorted bass and a lot of whammy/pitch shifting on guitar. Sounded quite good IMO. But song wise, would probably be Blood Sugar by Pendulum. Gets all our mates pumped up and it's good fun to play.

I mean, yes it's from the 70's and all, but the best part of 500 dollars for a pickguard? I think not.

That Korg Synth jobbie looks nice, what 's it like?

You see the word Fender, then the price, and think: "No."

Just 2. My first, a Squier Affinity Jazz, in Blue, though I've redone the scratch plate. And my Christmas pressie; a Squier VMJ. It's lovely.

I used to get something similar when I first began playing. I figured out that it was my fingers tapping on the pickup casing. I only got it on the E, as on the other strings my fingers hit the lower strings and not the pickup. When I did my work experience in a music shop they had a knackered old bass (and it was so bad, the tuners were masking taped together) that had a P-J set on it, but the J was a Humbucker, so I got that effect, but much worse, due to hitting the poles on the wider pickup. I think the best advice is to try to pluck the stings from a bit lower down, as this would make it less likely that your fingers will hit the Pickups. Hope this helps! Of course, I may be entirely wrong!

Record and gig with band, which will be good. Do Grade 4 bass exam, though I need to practice all the pieces a bit more.

Nor did I! Whoooops. Ah well, suppose it helps...

I know Alright, but couldn't put it into notation. Tab, yes, sheet music, no.

Hunting for Witches by Bloc Party Good fun to play

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='341157' date='Nov 30 2008, 02:44 PM']Bought the Muse CD/DVD of the 2007 Haarp tour in a 2 for £10 deal from HMV yesterday and amazing [/quote] Got the Limited Edition one. Only thing is, they left out 2 or 3 songs from the DVD. Latest CD I bought was the new Bloc Party album. Good tunes there
