  1. think I'll wait for version 2 (if they do one) which hopefully will have delay and a tuner.
  2. On the face of it, the Line 6 Bass Floor Pod seems to be a bit of a deal: 5 bass amps models, with a synth model Effects - Envelope Filter, Octaver, and Chorus, with a Compressor and you also have a built-in wah/volume pedal Brand new from £129.99 if you do a cursory search. Compare this though, to the Floor Pod for guitar, available for the [u]same price[/u]: 12 amp models Effects - Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Delay, Sweep Echo, Reverb, Noise Gate, Compressor, Wah, and a Distortion Boost, and Volume Pedal As a Bassist I feel a bit insulted and get the impression the Bass Floor Pod was added as an afterthough, with a [i]'that'll do' [/i]approach.
  3. [quote name='bw_user_name' post='75636' date='Oct 17 2007, 04:09 PM'][attachment=2932:untitled.bmp] Nice six string[/quote] Why?
  4. as the title says, did I miss a Bassbash? Was there a secret national Basschat bash that I didn't get an invite to?
  5. you can probably tell by the lack of bumpage lately, that I don't have to get rid of this and am not trying too hard. I'm not withdrawing it as such, but if an interesting trade comes along it will be considered. cheers.
  6. [quote name='cheddatom' post='73378' date='Oct 12 2007, 03:07 PM']For my triplets I use r-m-i as i-m-r just feels unnatural. I have been practicing going r-m-i-m-r-m-i etc for fast passages, and I can do it quite smoothly now. It was so difficult to get my fingers working that way at first![/quote] me too, but the fact i-m-r feels unnatural is why I'm practicing it now
  7. [quote name='woolleydick' post='72595' date='Oct 11 2007, 08:38 AM']Already asked them and they want more than £1,000 for it! AND they will not guarantee it will arrive AND there may be extra charges. AND all the other couriers are the same. Luvverly people.[/quote] Bu993r!
  8. thanks for that. I'm just about to take possession of some SAMSON 65A's. I'll let you know how I get on.
  9. [quote name='woolleydick' post='71470' date='Oct 9 2007, 10:59 AM']If only it all was not so big and heavy. I cannot see how to get it out here to Libya! Best of luck though[/quote] maybe we can arrange a deal with UPS while the Royal Mail are on strike...

  12. I use B-E-A-D on y passive SUB. Works fine, but I had to file the nut and bridge saddle for the wider B string to fit. (well actually I got Jon Shuker to do it LOL)

  14. [quote name='Mickeyboro' post='70009' date='Oct 5 2007, 02:44 PM']I'm talking to Billy next week for a magazine article and wondered if anyone had any questions they'd like putting on their behalf...particularly gear-related stuff.[/quote] ask if he can remember the first gig he did, where he didn't have to carry or set up any of his own equipment. cheers.
  15. [quote name='finnbass' post='69533' date='Oct 4 2007, 03:15 PM']I didn't get past the first sentence: This is a Fender Precision Bass guitar from the 1950's - 1970's Period. Classic [/quote] yeah, I was worried he was going to be a bit vague about the date. now eagerly awaiting the next post from Beedster!
  16. Started on classical guitar, 3 years later got an electric guitar, 4 years later started on bass.
  17. [quote name='Johnny Wishbone' post='69558' date='Oct 4 2007, 04:31 PM']There was a band called Spoiler (Dutch, I think) who did a brilliantly ironic Stoner-ish cover of the Grease song "You're The One That I Want" a couple of years ago. I remember seeing it through a drunken haze at about three in the morning on Kerrang! TV, but I've never managed to find a copy of it. It was fantastic.[/quote] Arthur Mullard & Hilda Baker - Your the one that I want. Has to be seen to be believed!
  18. unusual, but it seems to work. How does it play?

  20. [quote name='proghead' post='64911' date='Sep 24 2007, 06:08 PM']I LOVE that black Pbass. With a black pickguard it's THE Roger Waters look![/quote] and the Phil Lynott look!
  21. yep, interesting. As a side note, for me the best Warwick I've played belongs to G-77. It's an older model, and the neck is similar to a jazz. I haven't found newer models with as nice a neck. Would be sorely tempted if I did
  22. cheers for that. I don't [i]need [/i]to sell, so can avoid the 'Bay. The waiting game continues
  23. so planning on having a jam with the local jazz combo?
  24. Ah, corporate whores! It's difficult to know who to trust with endorsements, look at Nathan East - doesn't play live or record without his NE-1, then he's espousing the virtues of the Aphex line, then he's on to the Phil Jones Bass Buddy as the best bit of kit ever. Does Tony Levin play his signature model OLP? If it's not good enough for him it's not good enough for me.
