"Come on, come over" and "I can dig it baby" are good ones

I Want You Back (the song, that's not a personal statement!)

Also Walkabout by the Chilis

I'll take the Aphex please, pm'd with details

I used my Schroeder 1212r with a stand to try out the "ear level" thing, didn't like it (preferred the floor rumble in the end!) so never used it again. Another £40 down the drain!

I'd like to stack another 2x12 on top of it though......

Pics please?

I'm not gonna buy it, just like looking at beasty amps!

It's good to know i'm not the only one who immediately jumps to the most childish conclusion after reading the thread title....

My Corvette developed a fault where it would become quiet and distorted. It was the push/pull pot failing, eventually got the part replaced (from the awesome and extremely pleasant staff at Promenade Music in Morecambe).

Yours sounds like a pot issue, unless the repair guy had damaged a circuit board whilst tinkering around inside it.

I picked up a little clean boost pedal off here for £35 so it does pay to keep an eye out. Before that i used a Hartke VXL pedal which did the trick too

I'd imagine the Behringers will do the trick, just don't stomp on them too hard or you might be getting a lot less volume than you'd hoped for!

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='409866' date='Feb 15 2009, 03:53 AM']for £300? are you kidding? if you can find one, link me! id be well up for buying one[/quote]


I've seen a few go on ebay last year for under £350, one went for £320. Remember they could be bought new around 2002 (IIRC) for £530. I paid £580 for mine and as it's got a few knocks i'd expect it to fetch no more than £350 second hand
Remember the new Rockbasses look gorgeous and the $$ Corvettes go for around £500

Keep an eye out on the bay. I saw the passive fretless version go for just over £300 as well and that was mint

For around that price you could get an active Warwick Corvette Standard. I've got one and it's a beast for slap. Also a very versatile bass

My parents used to have the same carpet as that in their dining room!

BUMP

Is the electric mistress the one with the boss style dc jack?
If so i'll take it!

Does the price include p+p?

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='404068' date='Feb 9 2009, 09:57 AM'] yeah I know how that feels. I must have the record for bumps [/quote]


I delete mine now so it doesn't look as bad!

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='403736' date='Feb 8 2009, 08:23 PM']Is there anyone you're not going to offer it to? [/quote]


Looks like it's gone now!
It was my only pedal left for sale/trades so had to whore it out to the whole of BC hoping for a buyer
Times is hard!

Fancy a px on my dunlop bass wah? It's up for £65

Be cheeky and ask if they can sort you out with a loaner while yours is being fixed.
Aim for the most expensive bass in the shop!

Try a semi acoustic bass? Tanglewood do a version of their Warrior, Ibanez do one as do Yamaha and Aria (arabassist had a nice one for sale for a little over £100 a while ago).
The one that struck me was the Dean Rhapsody (think that's what it was called...), they also do a fretless version too.

[quote name='mrcrow' post='403423' date='Feb 8 2009, 04:05 PM']how many are familiar with acoustics and if so what kind of volume and tone do they have without using any onboard electrics and preamps

recommendations would be fine in the mid price category

and do they need bronze strings??

thanks[/quote]


Most of the cheaper to mid priced ones lack a lot of bass on the low E, purely due to the physics of producing that low end. I've got an old cheapy (£160 ten years ago!) and it sounds pretty decent with bronze strings. Always fancied the Michael Kelly ones.
There was a Takamine for sale here not so long ago, don't think it sold and it was a bargain

I always thought the epi pickups sucked too.
Think the EMG HZ soapbar style pups would be a suitable replacement, great rock tone with none of the TBird mud

Cracking basses for the money these, I had the darker cherry one and was well impressed with the build quality. Surprisingly good hardware too
If it doesn't sell here get it on ebay. I put mine on for £90 BIN and it went within half an hour

Ah cool, should be ok then!

Cheers dude!

Ah i should be ok then, think the Lifebook Cs were P3s.

I'm sat typing on an old Lifebook B2154 at the moment (it's a 450mhz celeron). Stuck Puppy Linux on it and it flies! Bought it for £29 and stuck a wireless card in it. Think it's a bit under specced for recording though...

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='401774' date='Feb 6 2009, 09:24 AM']I'm clueless about software like so a little help please.
Can you run this as a stand alone or is it a plug in whereby you need other software to run it ??
I have a fairly decent pcmcia sound card on the lappy with a mic/instrument input which i sometimes use for jamming along to music.If i got this software will it run on it's own,ie with the bass plugged into the sound card.Also could i then plug the lappy into a bass amp ??
Told you i was a dumbass hehe.[/quote]


What spec is your laptop?

Wanna know if i can run this on mine:

1.6 Celeron M 360
2gig ram
M Audio 4/4 usb interface

I've always suffered latency so bought the interface (struggled with compatibility issues with my old Tascam) hoping this will sort it out
