Looks like an Ibanez to me?

[quote name='ped' post='383807' date='Jan 18 2009, 10:49 AM']Hi folks, Over the years I have seen members come and go, millions of basses change hands and a few fads wax and wane. I wanted to see who, during this seemingly never ending process of gear buying/selling, has been fortunate enough to have found 'the one'. I don't mean your favourite bass at the moment, or the one you have had the longest, but the bass you will ALWAYS keep and use the most, the one that is 'your' sound. So have you got the bass for you? I know of a few people who have, so post pics and maybe a lil story or a bit of info about the bass that makes it special. It might cost a tenner, ten grand or anything in between... Cheers ped[/quote] Funny you should ask. I'm imminently taking possession of my (active) custom Iceni, and hopefully some time in the year I'll be taking home my (passive) custom Shuker. Once I have these 2, I can't imagine buying anything else - not least coz I won't be able to afford to! I'm not saying GAS will never strike, and I hope that's not the case. I'll always enjoy looking and playing new/old/vintage/custom/etc basses. Being a bass player is not what I do, it's what I am. The point is these 2 basses reflect not only my bass playing life, but my life experience to get to the point of owning them. There will be a thread, but these are the 2 I will never be parted from

[quote name='Rich' post='377570' date='Jan 12 2009, 12:29 PM']Problem with Nathan East, or his choice of kit? [/quote] [quote name='EBS_freak' post='377574' date='Jan 12 2009, 12:35 PM']I wonder if Prince Harry has a friendly nickname for Nathan East. I love Nathan East's playing and his signature bass is awesome. I'm not too big a fan of the bridge pieces though. I just wish he had a signature 6 like the one he actually uses. Still reckon white basses are the ultimate stage basses. Will get another one one day. His kit - if memory serves me right, is currently Avalon, and Aggie. Not too shabby if you ask me. His parametric EQ is pretty useful piece of kit for the price. Alot better than some of the BS put out by these big name companies. Plus he co-wrote Easy Lover. Dont know about anybody else... but I'm a fan![/quote] It's just the corporate-whoreness about it all. I mean re. the NE-1 which the blurb said 'he never plays or records without it', but then he's endorsing Aphex pedals, then he's straight onto endorsing the PJB Bassbuddy. Does he believe in and use all this gear? TBF if any bass (and/or bass related) companies wanted to pay me for using their products I'd rip their arms off.

Survival Studios in Action. In fact there's a whole bunch of places in Acton.

so this probably means price cutting on the current stock of Rock Basses?

Anything endorsed by Nathan East.

Like I said, with a differing HB or maybe a ramp? [quote name='Beer of the Bass' post='372296' date='Jan 6 2009, 06:49 PM']I wasn't very impressed by the photography though - it looked rather obviously posed by a non-musician in a photographers studio. This negated the "rock'n'roll action shot" feel they were going for. Am I picky or what?[/quote] nah I agree. The way model didn't have their hands on the bass said non-bassist. If you know what I mean.

[quote name='Mr Fudge' post='372110' date='Jan 6 2009, 03:44 PM']In true Dusty Bin style I would let you all now after the event.[/quote] is it Ted Rogers?

In yesterdays Metro (freebie 'news'paper given out in that London) there were some pics from the Sony Photo Exhibition. One of them was a bassist, but I've not seen the bass before. From the bridge unit it looked to be headless and seemed to have 2 different style HB's next to each other. Did anyone else see it?

[quote name='Bassmonkey' post='372262' date='Jan 6 2009, 06:12 PM']Anyone used this? just bought one and cannot figure out how to record the on board drums? There is a user tutorial DVD available, anyone got one? Cheers - please help am desperate ! Andy[/quote] I've got one, but haven't used it yet, so I'll be following this thread. Don't have the DVD though.

John Taylor played one for a bit too.

Used my old Sub as BEAD. No probs. As above sort the nut, it's possible the bridge saddle may have to be routed, a set up may involve a slightly higher action.
