[quote name='Clarky' post='341375' date='Nov 30 2008, 08:32 PM']I have a Warwick Rockstand for 3 basses/g*itars - works well for me, nicely padded. Here is the five instrument version [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Warwick-Rockstand-RS20881-Guitar-Stand/dp/B0002II99E"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Warwick-Rockstand-...d/dp/B0002II99E[/url][/quote] Hi, ive had the stand before and it was a good stand, y only concern is like with the other stands, will the rubber transfer and react with the white finish on my rick?

hi thanks for the replies, i dont know if an inline stand may be better for my house though, also are there any warnings that the rubber on the stands could transfer to the paint on the basses? has anyone tried this stand aswell? :

Hi, ive just noticed after living in my new house that im leaving black marks on the walls where im propping my basses all of the time. Frontally the marks just wipe off but i dont want to have to keep doing it (both marking the wall and then consequently having to wipe the marks off :/) so could anyone recommend me a good stand. Ive got 4 basses so i need to be able to get them all on one and also im concerned about the stand material transferring to my white rick so i also need to be certain that there will be no transfer, has anyone got any recommendations please?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='339996' date='Nov 28 2008, 07:12 PM']I know nothing about them but value is dead easy... what someone is prepared to pay. I'm not trying to be arsey but they are approx $3500 for a new 4 stringer so in the current climate you can slash 50% off that for it being used, even if it is basically 'new'. After that start praying that someone is looking for exactly what you have otherwise the price is going down from there. If you were talking about a well known, desirable manufacturer that has a proven track record of holding value then you could value it differently but mbass? Probably great basses but value is a fickle thing. Just my humble wotsit. [/quote] Its very much appreciated and youve addressed my main concern as id never heard of them until the trade was offered. Putting it through xe and halfing the price it works out at about £1300 and for the messing about the trade would be id be hoping for £1500 for it to be worthwhile so probably worth giving this one a miss. Heres some pics: [attachment=16573:M3.jpg] [attachment=16569:1122081008.jpg] [attachment=16570:1122081009a.jpg] [attachment=16571:1122081009b.jpg] [attachment=16572:1122081009c.jpg] so would we say £1500 is asking too much for this?

hi, ive just been offered a mbass on a trade, but as i dont know much about them i dont know how good of a trade it is, does anyone know what there value is secondhand?

[quote name='5_string_death' date='Nov 27 2008, 10:16 PM' post='338993'] I'm thinking about trying out the Dean Markely Blue Steels soon, but I can't find a set in Derby. Anybody used them before? Zach Tried a set in a shop once on the store guys recommendation and thought they were awful, didnt like neither the feel or sound, that said ive got a friend who swears by them, i think with strings, like most other things a lot of the time you just have to try them out as while recommendations do help at the end of the day it comes down to your own personal taste.

Hi, im finding im having a bit of free time of late so i might take up a few lessons and get my grades under my belt and would like to learn a little more on improvisation, so could anyone recomend a good bass tutor in huddersfield, i know theres a few in leeds and manchester, but i dont have a car and i really dont want to be catching the bus every other week so the closer the better would be great.

And he hasn't bothered to advertise on Birmingham gumtree? Edit: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINT-MESA-BOOGIE-BIG-BLOCK-750-BASS-GUITAR-AMP-HEAD_W0QQitemZ120333421927"]Completed auction on US ebay[/url][/quote] Probably imported it from america, forgot to change the voltages and blown it and now trying to offload it to some unlucky fella from gumtree, probably why hes listing in london and not birmingham, so it has to be posted as apposed to being able try it out

Again +1 to the Shure SM58, its the industry vocal mic, especially for live events, its cheap, got a frequency response to flatter most vocals and dam hard to break

Also i would keep it in mind that sinking the pickup would also reduce its output a fair bit, unless you lowered the action as you lowered the pickup

Am i the only one who thinks the body shape looks very similar to a G&L ASAT Bass? that said i dont know if the axis guitar was released prior to the ASAT
