Thank you guys. 

I'm definitely not selling it for £100

yep, that other guy was trying to rip you off.

I'll give you a very fair price for it, like $250

Trace Elliot Elf amp, 1kg and matching 1 10" cab at 8kgs is as light as it gets. Sounds awesome too. Can add a second cab for larger gigs.

 I've always had the idea of having a rotatable bit added to small combos or cabs which would allow the neck to be rested up against it without risk of it sliding away. As in, the bass sits on the floor leaning against the amp, but this just provides a groove for the neck to sit in. When not in use it can be spun round so it sits flush against the top of the cab or bass. 

 

I'm sure that's a real thing, but if not, someone should make it! 

I've seen a silicon neck rest that sits on any flat surface and keeps the neck upright.

no, a ss amp will deliver around half power to an 8 Ohm impedence as compared to a 4 Ohm cab

even if you could get the two cabs to work, each speaker in the 410 will get half the power of each 15" speaker. It's a crapshoot if this will sound good, but you won't be utilising all your power

yeah, ain't gonna work with my ELF mini rig with one or both 1 10"s hehe

Frustration for me is that I can't get a cd written on my PC to play in the car; some of these songs I want to hear over and again.

what about one of those cig lighter fm transmitters that u can plug a usb stick/ipod/phone into that xmits to your car radio?

Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting - a simple structure but the bass seems to be so raucous and varied I've decided to use this one as my opportunity to improvise and throw in whatever fills and runs I feel like, there's just one distinctive chromatic run I want to get right - the tab doesn't sound quite right, but it might be my lack of familiarity with the song.

yeah that is a killer bassline. and it's all over the fretboard. I reckon just get the feel of the song, ANY note you hit is only a fret away from the right one

If there is a part you are stuck on, lemme know I might be able to remember it, it's been a while but I had it down pretty well.

 

 

I've been playing originals mostly since 1980.

I've recorded on the ubiquitous Tascam Portastudio cassette recorders, and in some nice recording studios on 2" tape, to home recording on a pc at the moment.

One thing has remained throughout all these methods.

The minute, nay the SECOND you commit to a take, your brain has already come up with a slightly better bassline, but it won't let you know til the very next rehearsal

Loads of new original material for a new band. Really happy with my ability to learn new parts (been making up my own for last few years), and surprised myself at getting my fingers around some fairly compley bits where bass plays unison with guitar. Looking forward to first rehearsal on Tuesday.

yes, nothing beats playing originals. I love the feeling when you write a bassline that is more than roots-third-fifth-octave, though some or all of the aforementioned are used , of course.

are you going to be recording anything soon? I'd like to hear you.

I've found that if I do the popping thing on my P bass that wears Elixirs, then it's a waste of effort and is lost in the mix, if I do the same with the P with D'addarios or Highbeams, all is good.

and Stainless Steels over Nickels for brightness and clank

Fart oo many

6 basses, 9 straps, at least. I've got a nice padded leather one for my Fender Am Std and am slowing buying the same strap with different colour upholstery backing for the others.

I've recently installed the Diablo Twist Lock strap pins so once a strap is on it's staying on

kind of an ambiguous question, depends on how long your songs are.

we have 6:30 songs, and a 2:30 song with many in between. we have 28 songs , all original. We plan our sets accordingly.

We have 2 songwriters so we try and alternate between them as they sing their own songs.

Got some 3 band shows coming which I love, we do one set of 45 mins, easy peasy,we switch songs regularly according to loudness of gig. We go from all acoustic to rock band mode.

Opps. forgot to say, 10 songs for a 45er

a pic would help, but yes, raise the pickup on that side and / or lower the string height,as applicable.

how old and what gauge strings are they? they can easily go dead if you pop em hard a lot.

failing that, use a compressor, but that is not ideal. You want a naturally even volume across all strings.

hire a large studio, most rehearsal places have one larger room, for bigger bands.

Go all out, wear ear plugs of course.

Elf 1 x 10" 16lbs can lift with my pinky

8 Ohm so u can use two , rated 300W each

AND you can lift it with your pinky, how many bassists can say that?

I have two of the 1 10" cabs with the Elf head, amazing kit.

 is it just a case of turning it anti clockwise until the nut feels loose?

I'm thinking a full turn or two would suffice

playing originals in a city whose original music scene is dying means we can't afford the expense, so we pretend to like loading amps in and out of gigs,cars, home.

so happy for you mate, have a blast, and DON'T touch the brown acid, but it's your trip, man

I've decided to make a stop animation video using Lego figurines.

THEN Lego released THIS

Lego Movie Maker kit

RIP Paul

Gotta say though, going out on your farewell tour is kind of fitting

where do you work where you get no break at all in which to make an outside call?

no lunch break? smoko break?

weight is the most important specification for a buyer sight unseen. Lot's of (older) players aquire back, neck and shoulder problems, thus the importance of knowing it's weight

my 2 cents.

It's OK to ask questions about weight, hardware etc, but if you think it's way over or under priced, I feel a PM is best here.

saying "Gorgeous bass, GLWTS" is fine too.

No pointing out that your Jazz is better than the P for sale, it's not on.

Coming in just to say you hate that bass or amp is not on either

Nor is it OK to comment on an effects for sale ad "I don't use effects" lol, yet people do

you wonder at their thought processes sometimes.

I had a parcel delivered from interstate. Of COURSE they deliverred during the one hour I wasn't home. They contacted the sender to ask where he wants it deliverred, "errm to the same address". I went online and requested redelivery without signature.

Three days later and sender gets a message they are returning it to him. He responds asking why, when we both asked for redelivery without signature.

A WEEK later and they finally understood what "redelivery without signatue" meant.

I was home when they redeliverred it, bastard didn't even knock on the door.

Took two weeks.
