  1. Will do, timing was never a strong point, despite playing bass!
  2. Too late. I bought my weekend ticket yesterday!
  3. A Musicman Stingray HH V. I was never able to get a sound out of it that I liked. Same for an Ibanez SR something I had for a short while as my first base, although to be fair that could also have been a result of my lack of ability as a complete newby.
  4. If it is not good enough for pillows and duvets, it cannot be any good for amps. I would also not buy a duckdown or goosedown amp.
  5. They do if you are Sam Wilkes from Scary Pockets: https://youtu.be/tcNuPheBQgU The double foot tap in Birkenstocks and socks certainly got my attention.
  6. Way over the top, but then again I see no point in a leather bag. I use a Gator G-PG Bass gig bag for my basses, including my Roscoe Signature and have no concerns re damage. The UK cost appears to be between £ 110 and £ 130 dependent on where you shop. Amazon link for reference: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gator-G-PG-BASS-Pro-Go-Bass-Guitars/dp/B00I6JGOBG
  7. I too saw them in Milton Keynes a few weeks ago. Loved the whole event, especially Comfortably Numb as the (obvious) encore. I did not, however, enjoy girls 2 and 3 in Great Gig. Girl 1 was almost Claire Tori, but the latter two tried too hard, imho.
  8. Early Ibanez SR something. Just felt really cheap and I could never get a good tone out of it with my equally poor amp. Never gave it a chance with other amps. More recently a G&L M2000. People who heard me play loved it, but again not for me. Neck was slow (for me) too and finally a Stingray MM HH V. Heavy, strings right on the edge of the neck and my poor style vcould never adapt and also loathed the sound. Not an issue with my current crop of Fenders, Dingwall and Roscoe basses.
  9. Just for the record and despite what some may say; I am not the student in the OP
  10. Every bass line I hear and like appears to be in A, ideally on the 5th fret on the E string. At a pinch I do enjoy an E flat on the A string
  11. Two fives / two fours. All fretted.
  12. Do you have anything with a bit more gravity, perhaps not so white and not so strange? I am surprised this has not been "lepton" (one for you physicists) Yours etc Baryon Bob of Buckingham
  13. We had our carpets cleaned on Monday. After the the carpet cleaner saw my bass guitars (and asked my wife if I was well known - oh how she laughed!) he announced he used to be a long term roadie for Yes. Does that count?
  14. Don't do it! According to a thread on Talkbass, pickguards ruin the sound,. Imagine what these will do! The ones on the black guitars do appeal to me, though.
  15. I could hear no difference played at a comfortable volume. Played through a Bose Companion 3 system via a Mac. I am struggling with ear training however. Perhaps worth turning this into a Poll with people stating their audio medium

    looping

    Ditto X2 for me too, although I still struggle to delete old loops!
  17. [quote name='LeftyP' timestamp='1502922020' post='3354468'] [attachment=251567:P1010031.JPG] Don't have one of me playing bass but here's one taken in July next to the memorial to Joey Dunlop on the Isle of Man. [/quote] Which one are you?
  18. I use pBase. Very happy with it although it does cost money.
  19. Coming from where I live I assumed the title referred to Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire Gardening Magazine. Somewhat not surprised, however, to find out it is not the case.
  20. Good job you did not have that lying around when I took your Combustion off you! That is a great looking bass.
  21. [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1501761328' post='3347190'] This should have sold already - can't people read?? Have a bump.. [/quote] [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1501821292' post='3347537'] You could always buy it... [/quote] You have not read the thread. I have the Blue Rock and it has cured my GAS for the last year. I assume this one would for others too.
