[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1338797839' post='1679228'] It's to give the E string more space in which to vibrate. [/quote] Ahhhhhh......bing!

[quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1338791213' post='1679170'] Why do some have a bevel? There must be a reason. [/quote] Good question Sarah. I wasn't aware it existed. I think it might to be to stabilise/improve grip on the E string?
-
Seems there is an issue regarding changing the strings as the profile of the fingerboard varies from E to G in most cases. Luckily I can play bass with strings the standard righty way too. May have to just settle with that, unless I can find a reasonable price lefty..

Nice to hear a fe(z-z-z-z-z)nder is collecting dust.. Stop pretending to be a bass player...just BE!

cheers Dave
-
ah right. Steinberger NXT... if not something of a similar price.....?
-
So the upright currently being held hostage by myself- never having played one before, I never realised that the area on the fingerboard under the deepest string is flat. ??!! Meaning I can't change the strings around on a EUB I was looking at. true? cheers for any info

Not had a single pm about mine! So it shall stand on my shelf. gathering bass dust....

wey hey! kids slappy happy there! Well done Joe!! I just sold my Warwick Corvette lefty last week. The neck was like a telegraph pole. Great, but he would have struggled I think. Don't you think he needs something more suitably sized? what about a Headless Steinberger clone by Hohner? great size, weight, and the fastest neck I have ever played...makes slapping an absolute doddle......I am talking about.mine of course I would part with it if young Joe was interested. would look at £180. Showroom condition...never gigged. Anyway. like to see him playing something with a back beat, slooooow... -
there should be a sh** filter on ebay that stops you from wasting your time having to come across such comedic ********!!!!
-
never think its going to happen to you....but it can! spare strings and soldering iron.....in the middle of a song when the dancefloor is full...?.o-h-h-h-h! get a cheap back-up. i snapped a string beginning of a set...first time I didnt take a back-up in ages. the A string. had to get through the set with mind working overtime.
-
Yeah I saw this in the flesh when it was about to be sent by BassDoc. Beautiful colour, looks even better in front of your eyes. But I never got to hear it... Any chance?
-
interested.....pm'd -
I too have a copy...I've not read it but I tend to lose interest in a book after 20 pages or so. Great bassist though! let me know who wants it and I will post it to you Monday. :OD

Unless I was in a Who tribute, I wouldn't bother trying to nail his [i]very[/i] unique technique. I used to do that song, can't recall any particularly trick bits? Unless I was just disinterested,....yeah that was it....clatterbucket Entwhistle

Actually my band is named Hungry Giants..... gerroff!

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1337639521' post='1663457'] Just have a close look at the edges, especially where there is wear or damage. From the photos the front looks like the front might be carved from several pieces, the back looks like ply when zooming in on picture 3 [/quote] you obviously know your stuff Mr Bassman! I will get more precise picture uploaded tomorrow

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1337633390' post='1663308'] If you don't come up with any specific details then I reckon you could expect to see up to £500 for an all-ply 3/4 in playable condition with no structural issues or buzzes. If it has a carved top it will be worth more. If it actually sounds nice it could be worth even more! [/quote] er.....interesting....but I know nothing about these things! carved top...? all-ply..? I think it needs to go my local guitar luthier to at least identify what it is made of. Until tomorrow - thanks
-
I am picking it up tomorrow, can't remember if it is flat or swelled...Will post comments tomorrow. TBH I want to sell it to buy an EUB... so would be good to get some kind of price on it thanks
-
it hasn't had much TLC, but no cracks/splits. any ideas what it is? as I say, "made in Hungary" is all I can see
-
So I have finally acquired a pre-loved acoustic upright which was presented to me by someone who received it from a late uncle. They know nothing about the make etc. All parts working, body marked but intact... Can't seem to find any reference to the make...all I can see inside the 'F' hole is a sticker saying "MADE IN HUNGARY" How can I identify anything else about it? help! Thanks
-
oh he was outstanding. But you have to remember, it was HIS style. to expect to replicate every little nuance...well......you are riding into Anorak country!
