  1. As the “heart & soul" of “ALL THAT IS", us Bassists know how important the rhythm is... To the ignorant & self-absorbed, the bass is a “WTF" instrument. However, to the informed and educated, the Bass IS the ROOT of music... So what I wanna know is...... What's the BIGGEST BASS DROP, EVER?!! Something crazy, like this?... ...but obviously not Muse ‘cos they are despicable... Maybe this?... ?!?!?!?... ACTUALLY, IT'S THIS!!... Obvs... Anyways... What you guys got?!! You know “it's gotta be big..." Was gonna take the p*** with this but that IS a friendly, funky bass line!!!... GO ON... GIVE US YER' BEST BASS SHOT!!!.... * Disclaimer, mention of fish being dropped may appear in this thread.
  2. The ever philanthropic, Ped! I really wouldn't be surprised if @pedwas in fact moonlighting as Bruce Wayne, moonlighting as Batman, moonlighting as.....
  3. This is the closest thing I could find in my current wardrobe... ... more than happy to include them in the sale...
  4. Hey Beedy!! Normally eurosender are pretty darn good!! Got them to arrange collection and shipment for a bass from UK to UK, instrument covered up to €1000 insurance (currently approx. £900). The total price for collection, shipping and insurance was £25.76, which is quite reasonable giving the level of cover provided. The insurance also covers guitars that are without a hard shell case providing they are packed sensibly... Loosen stringed, supported necks and sufficient wrap/padding etc... This is something that a lot of other courier services will not cover, should you read the small print... Eurosender outsource the work and act as a provider or “middleman"... They have good business relations with many couriers across the EU and so they can offer competitive shipping rates that often work out cheaper than if you were to go to the courier direct... And with the special word; BASSCHAT10 a magical 10% discount is applied to the shipping costs The Fonz, Approves!!*
  5. We only perform to an audience of six or fewer (as a rule of course, not because we're awful...) Our 3½ annual gigs are still on the cards, much to the disappointment of the local community.
  6. Yes, you're a musician.... You don't have two pennies to rub together... Let's face it, you've given names to those moths living in your wallet and even they ain't got no respect for you, you're a bum!! But look on the bright side... Those four gigs you play each year, yeah, you're winning then! Never mind that they only pay £160... “Err, so that's £160 divided by five... £32?!!!! I JUST DROVE FORTY-FIVE MINUTES TO THIS GIG, ROCKED MY SWEATING A$$ OFF FOR ALMOST THREE HOURS, SPENT ANOTHER THIRTY MINUTES HELPING THE DRUMMER PACK-UP HIS SHIZ AND NOW I GOTTA DRIVE BACK FORTY-FIVE MINUTES?!!!!!... For £32?!!!..." “Mate, don't forgot your fuel costs, vehicle wear & tear, equipment cost, fortnightly rehearsal space hire and those two J20's you bought at the bar..." Needless to say, with the exception of the beautiful, the dumb and those riding coat-tails, REAL musicians very rarely get paid... unless of course you count the priceless commodity of “exposure" as a form of payment... Which it ain't! So here's what I'm gonna do to make the harsh reality of life as a musician just that much more bearable... I'm gonna offer up my rather stunning STERLING RAY 34 by MUSICMAN at the equally attractive price of £495 “Is he mad?!" I hear you ask... Well, to answer that question, “yes, yes I am..." So, for those of you that have been hiding in a bunker since first hearing news of the “Y2K Bug" back in ‘98... Above: a plush toy resembling a scaled down version of the “Y2K Bug" The Sterling Ray 34 bass guitar is endorsed by the one and only “Music Man". Now, whilst I'm not entirely sure who exactly the “Music Man" is, I am led to believe that it is one of these two men... ...Timmy Mallet or Rod Stewart... ...either way the Sterling Ray 34 is an instrument of exceptional quality with design, sound, hardware and finish that far surpasses it's RRP... (Rock & Roll Peanuts) Basically, the Sterling Ray 34 is constructed using the same components and materials as the Music Man Stingray and also has the same body, neck and setup of a Music Man Stingray... effectively it “IS" a Music Man Stingray with a different decal sticker on the headstock and with the instrument's construction outsourced to an overseas “Music Man" factory. To put it briefly, there is very little difference between the Sterling Ray 34 and the Stingray and when played side-by-side only the most discerning Rod Stewart or Timmy Mallet fan might differentiate between the two... Teaser pic... “Wait, is that a Stingray?!!!..." “No!!!" “This is a Stingray!!!" ... No it's not!! It's an eagle ray (apparently...) THIS IS A STINGRAY!!! (hopefully) "This!!! Is a STERLING RAY 34!!!!" So basically, the Sterling is in Excellent condition all round with no marks, dents blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... The pick guard has minor markings from plectrum use, so evidently has served it's purpose. The pick guard markings are faint and only noticeable in certain light. Obviously the pick guard can be replaced if you would want the instrument to look “Brand-Spankers"... Finish be a rather alluring “Antique Maple", which looks rather funky and potentially retro in my opinion... You know, afros & perms, ya dig?... Scale is 34" with gorgeous Rosewood board, MM AlNiCo Pole Magnet Humbucking Pickup!!! (In tha' sweet spot!...) Plenty of classic Stingray Punch!! 3 Band active preamp, the works... Included is an official Sterling Ray Padded Bass Case and a comfortable padded guitar strap with Dunlop strap locks. Here's all the features collated; Antique maple finish Ash body Maple top Alnico pole magnet MM pickups MM design Bridge & Saddles 34 inch standard scale 21 Fret Maple neck Rosewood fingerboard MM design premium tuners Sterling Ray 34 Padded Case Locking Guitar Strap Holders Locking Padded Guitar Strap Feel free to message me and ask about my thoughts on sandstone paving slabs, or I could just save you the message and tell you now... “They're ok." Trial / collection of the Sterling is more than welcome, I could also arrange a part-meet for fuel cost and as always courier is an option so please message for further beetroots... Behold; antique maple seduction... Mmmmm..... Delicious!!
  7. WOW!!! That's certainly a “Weekend Bargain" to be had... Plus it's got tha “Birdy Board" LOVE IT!! Someone gonna get themselves a happy deal
  8. Wow!! Absolutely WOW!! So many great Bass guitarist/lead singers mentioned here!!! I'm truly impressed and thoroughly enlightened. I'm gonna chuck an obscure one in the mix... No, it's not “The missing link"... Does have his own signature model “Frickenbacker" though... (& a rather tasty looking one, if I might be so risqué in saying...) Being the eclectic bunch of beautiful BC'ers that you are, I'm sure a few of you members might recognise the rare “beast" before you... (Particular those who ask “... but is it good for Metal...")
  9. Feck knows what's going on... I've no ‘moji reactions left... (Spunked them all out, over these many great musical suggestions...) It's as though the mods get pleasure from controlling how much one can react... Well!!! I can still use symbols to create faces!!! :-) You'll never take that away from me!! ...and then this... (Can't seem to find the Red Hot Chilli Peppers link, but...) That guitar intro riff is completely ripped off by Flea on rhcp-around the world!!!... Anyone?!. No?!... Anyone?... “Shame on you Flea, shame!!"
  10. Did someone just... err... Mention Les Claypool?!... “Thank ye' kindly, Gus... " p.s. he's the self proclaimed “narrator" &/or “storyteller" he ain't never been the singer Gotta love his take on Amos Moses....
  11. Oooh!! YES!! F-U! Reaction limit... You give me back my reactions!!! :-/ Very reminiscent of King Crimson “elephant talk" (just nu-wave & funked up...) Also, a tad more pleasant ‘pon the eye... not that Adrian Belew ain't a handsome, talented chappy... ...back when music just flipped you ‘pon your back... (‘Bowie & Belew' - the lost jungle book story)
