    I suppose if you're not in a band, you have time to learn solos, flashy stuff etc. That said,it's still a challenge. I think you like metal as do I . Apart from the usual names, You could try some Jason Newstead,Michael Anthony Geezer Butler etc. Randy Coven. Don't try Nikki Sixx techniques tho' or you could o d a lot :

    Awesome sound,fits into boot of car . Only selling for portability purpose.(I don't drive,and went head/cab route) There is hum at low volume ,but when playing in band situation(rehearsal or gigging) it isn't a problem. I'm happy with most of my collection ,but for some reason I fancy something loud... like a Dean cabbie bass.....Or the Squire telecaster reissue. Maybe even a Dean Zone bass in the loud green colour. Cash wise? If there's no interest here,I'll probably go to flea bay with a starting price of £250.00 approx. Pickup only please. I'm based inTwickenham. I currently rehearse with band in acton,so could demo if you like. Any queries please pm me Cheers RATM

    I've got one. Too scared to use it live tho'. That manual is a real pain in the rear end. Has anyone gigged with one? Bumparooo

    Alot of us have stopped. And started again...... I have found the band thing a total pain at times. It can be like a job at times, holidays,sickness,unstable people a**hle guitarists etc. However,if you find the right blend of people (which isn't always easy) it's great.

    You basically need around 250 watts to be comfortable ..

    [quote name='Eight' post='441692' date='Mar 22 2009, 01:39 PM']I haven't bought it yet. I have one Curbow which I love and there's no way I'd change it or sell it. My thinking was whether to get another and try to shape its sound into something that fits better with what I want Bass No. 3 to do.[/quote] Oh yeah, you did say earlier : Now I understand. If I was buying another one ,I think that I would sill leave it as is tho'
  10. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    I think 4 is too many...Gimme one of those
  11. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Sounds like you should leave alone. I believe in not altering stuff unless it's absolutely necessary. You could sell it ,then look for something more suitable for your requirements etc.

    Gator hard case : Have only used this a couple of times in the guitarists car in my previous band. Been in loft since ,gathering dust. It has keys ,silica gel ,cerificate dating march2006 and smells lovely. Excellent condition, a couple of scratch/paint marks on bottom otherwise mint. £25.00 collection. **COULD MEET IN CENTRAL LONDON** SKB RACK CASE: fits head amp etc. used but tough,durable and does the job. Have rack bag so don't need this.£15.00 **NOW SOLD** Guitar holders to display your beloved. I bought too many for my flat ,so have 5 left. Each one contains 3 screws and 3 rawplugs except for one. Best thing is to make me an offer if interested and see how we get on . **NOW SOLD** Eden -NC250 Bass Combo:I know that this is possibly the wrong section ,but if tou get gas attack... Awesome sound ,fits into boot of car. Only reason I'm offloading is purely for portability purposes(I don't drive ,and went the Head/Cab route) There is hum at low volume,but when cranked up this isn't a problem and I have gigged with it. If no interest here ,then I will go to flea bay with a starting price of £250.00 Cheers RATM

    There have been a few threads about this recently.(You're not alone) Like the others say, a band may make a difference. Also effects units,tuition dvds etc. OH, I nearly forgot...a trip to a music shop lookin' for a different bass should do it

    [quote name='andy67' post='441532' date='Mar 22 2009, 09:55 AM']great collection! one thing though, £10 per record is a wee bit on the expensive side. andy[/quote] +1

    I used to have the above amp many moons ago. I lost original manual. I wrote to peavey and now I have found 2 others. I got rid of the amp ages ago. If you want me to send you one, pm me your address. My good deed for the day. Cheers

    I just had a quick google as I haven't heard of those models. Condition pending ,you could have at least a couple of grand. You're in the right place to sell by the way..

    Billy is THE man!! While he can effortlessley play all the'' tricks'', he always urges everyone to play bass''in the pocket'' etc. and play the basics as that's what it's all about. He just happens to be the jimi Hendrix of bass(imho)
  19. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Nice Bass.............

    I think JB is a little misunderstood at times(like most of us ) When I used to look at some of his columns in the Bass Player mag years ago, I get the impression he was being very realistic ,no nonsense kinda guy. He used to diss ''gimmicky '' things like those spring finger strengthening excercisers. He is also very critical of the ''bass tricks'' and just emphasises the fact that dedication and practice is where it's all at. I think that he doesn't say anything different than say Billy Sheehan or many other great players. I agree tho' with what most of you have said Fun is where it's at,whether you play 3 notes or 1000 a minute etc.

    [quote name='jonsmith' post='434537' date='Mar 14 2009, 12:29 PM']I'm pretty sure that Chris used the Jazz on Parallels live as well, at least on the GFTO tour. His old Tele bass was stolen (Chris mentions this on the Fish Out Water DVD), but has recently been found at auction and bought by a friend of his. Small correction to an earlier post - he didn't use the Jazz on Roundabout in the Relayer era, but an 8 string Rickenbacker.[/quote] Yeah, I stumbled across an auction for the above by accident. I was gonna post the link to this forum. However,the auction ended before I had a chance to send link.It was a Tele ....

    ^_^ If I were in your shoes,I would take lessons from a teacher. I would also buy an instructional DVD from one of your favourite artists if there is one available. If you're after something to ease the boredom, an effects unit can be fun.You can get cheapo ones that are fun.
  23. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    I only seem to find it in wh smiths (waterloo/richmond) Have tried another one in the city and haven't been able to track this issue down yet! How long has this issue been out?
  24. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    I think he's just wasted money on the insertion fee. Wonder what the relisted price will be .....

    Like everything else , you can get bored or in a rut etc. I've been there ,and alot of people here have too. Back in the mid nineties, I got fed up with the ''usual band hassles/crap''.I took a few years break . I still messed around at home half-heartedly. A great friend of mine (who's a superb guitarman btw) Got me to play a gig for my 40th birthday and since then I ' ve got back into that side of things. I'm trying to get my head (and lazy a**e!) into recording some stuff on my mac . New equipment and EFFECTS PEDALS etc. may inspire you. If you do sell,someone on here will buy your stuff whatever it is you have. You can always buy stuff again if you get the hunger again.
