Firstly I love basschat , does it affect sales ,prices etc not sure but heres my spin.:- I have been on here for a while , and have trough basschat upgraded all of my gear , i still check ebay and use it but the main important thing for me on basschat is the fairness of it all. it really is the closeest thing to being in a democracy that i have been involved with. i still also use bass related shops the gallery are awesoem and use them for set ups strings and also i will be getting a sei bass made at some piont soon. Bass gear is another company i recently used and i still think small cumunity based interested sellers (rather than mail order) are a decent way of buying stuff, i spent half a day at the bass gear shop felt like i was in a living room doing a tradw or sale, i bought a gorgeous pedulla penta buzz for a good fair price , so in this instant i doubt wether i would have sabed much more buying from a guy from basschat. i know comission must be a killer but i respect the decent shops for providing a great service and would buy more often if i had the money from them , basschat is so fair that it makes perferct sense for it to be so big! my only personal down side of bass chat is the gas it gives me .... but im happy to say that i am actually extremely happy with my gear now and just look!!!! (untill another sei or something nice comes along) Regards ziggy.

my sei babses have the slimest necks and fast toooo , thats why anything else i try just dont happen , although regret selling my spector eroulx 4 wow that was a nice neck , my mayones had a awesome neck for a six string too. i have a status and its a tad thicker than i like but the action and stability etc makes up for that . i had a fender jazz pluss 4 bass that was super slim.

now this is groovy wouldnt mind having a gi at this gig !

Hey guys thank you, I got rehesals wednesday so i shallll hopefully get a chance to air my veiws. The drummer is awesome ,and im sure helll wannna keep in contact , funny the other day we was playing 'jesus' by genisis and in the chorus the bass plays single note the gutarist asked me to put more notes in!! i couldnt beleive it!! anyway gutarists and singers eh!!

Hi all, Bit of a funny one here, I am in a band were i love the drummer and keys player me and drummmer reallly work and its prob one of the best rythm sections ive been in. we have 31 gigs this year not too bad but heres the crux...... the guitarist is in another band and the same guitarist and my drummer keeep playing with their old bass player that left the band (thats why i got the job). so the guitarist has i reckon over 55 gigs this year when we spoke about the problem he turned round and said"i dont like certain aspects of the new line up so i dont promote the band". (hes said im tooo busy before now and he doesnt like my tight sound,hes also an awesome guitarist but doesnt learn the tunes like the tunes then moans at me when im playing them like the track). the old set up plays quite regular and they do the gigs beaucause they are low paying gigs (they go out as a three peice) and so when they play me and keyboard player and sometines the singer are sitting at home playing with ourselves!! i have loooked around extensively and theres not many bands wanting a bass player at moment in my area,,, so shalll i just stick with it for the 31 gigs or leave let someone else get trodd on and spend some time practising at home instead of giging on and off? not sure what to do !! neeed the wisdom from the society! x
