Slightly off topic but props to you Avatar Waldo.
PRS guitars, basses: They sure do look pretty. -
Now thats a good idea
-
원 is won
-
but If I buy this really expensive bit of kit I'll be better at playing bass!
-
I have to say I've got a hankering for one of these after playing one in the gallery (same colour as well, though the 5 string version). The gallery had it at 950 second hand so at the moment it looks to be a right old bargin, I imagine the bidding will shoot up at the end.

This is well under budget and I've only heard good things: [url="http://www.chamberlainmusic.com/ProductDetail.asp?ProductID=GWB35"]http://www.chamberlainmusic.com/ProductDet...ProductID=GWB35[/url]
There's a more expensive version too -

Now come on, thats not what I said is it, I just expressed empathy for their situation. -
Not a bad idea, but it's not the same cab as I was looking for. The walkabout one matches the combo. Vanity I know.
-
yeah mine was under that.
-
Has anyone actually seen one of these up for sale?
The only one i can find is at the gallery for £600, which is an awfull lot for a 1x12 cab imo
Ah dagnamit wrong area, can someone move it to the items wanted section please? -
[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='279647' date='Sep 8 2008, 12:54 PM']How can you justify/qualify that? Have you read the rest of this thread?[/quote]
sigh yes I can't quantify it and yes I've read and commented in the rest of the thread, It's an opinion based on going down denmark street for the last 5 years. -
To be fair to the cellar though, 99.99% of the people in there have no intention of buying, just herds of scruffy kids with no money wanting to try out £1000 basses, I reckon after dunno 5 years of dealing with that day in day out I might put up a sign too.

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='279363' date='Sep 7 2008, 09:53 PM']Excuse my cynicism, but couldn’t this possibly be a case of good service for a well dressed city business man? I wonder what the service would have been like if you were wearing jeans and a t-shirt and were soaked through by the rain.[/quote]
I've had good service from them, been allowed to try anything I want out etc. Now, I am a city business man I guess, but I go in wearing jeans and t-shirts and I'm in m 20's.
Having said that I went to the gallery this weekend and that was something else....blows everything else out the water -
I've gone from thomastic jazz flats (about 1/5 years same set) to La bellas and at the moment I think I prefer the thomastics.
Though I got deep talking mediums, which as a lot thicker that the thomastics,
Also, the jazz flats have red bindings, the la bellas light blue, -
About £550 I'd say. If you can find one.

[quote name='Rasta' post='276721' date='Sep 4 2008, 09:12 AM']Gwan play dem reggae dub riddim wid tone....cha bumbaclot = No tone fe sure.. for me it's just phat belly gully slinking resonance through a giant sound system...there's a lot to be said for just a note thats very loud and very bassy indeed....apparently the earth resonates in Eb-thats just one note - Don't get me wrong i love 'Portrait of Tracy' (thats lots of notes) with tone, but there is a lot to be said for just the bass, big dub tents aka jah Shaka, a Jazz or precision with tone rolled off and a natural smoke machine and 1000's of festinutters-pure and obese bass tone...they're grrrrreeeattt! Irie
What am i talking about-try a SUBDUB night (Iration Steppaz)-footlong with reggae reggae bass food Sauce in Leeds! [/quote]
Ah subdub, I used to go that when I was at Uni, cabbage and SUBDUB still going? -
It takes some of the voodoo out of it, makes it a bit easier, I find it interesting. But thats not the same as just learning the notes on the fretboard, that would be really boring.
Learn the major scale in C, it's easy, C D E F G A B, learn how to play the shape starting on 3rd fret A string. Then try the same thing on the other 3 "c"s. If you're still really bored, then just don't do it. -
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You know I'm almost tempted to say mine, so that I could buy the white sei up for sale here, I suspect it'd be one of those regrets for ever things though,
Ah it's already sold, oh well -
Oh my word, that might just be the best looking bass ever.
-
Funny how everyone wants low action I'm not 100% sure why...
IMO if you hit heavy and with a pick, don't worry about getting the strings as low as possible. -
Ah I remember seeing ADF at the hop and grape in manchester, I was right next to the speaker stack and I think that bass might have done some serious damage to my internal organs. Worth it though.

Here's mine, sporting a new set of La Bellas.
Custom colour scheme, cream+gold, maple neck, semi hollow with f hole and matching headstock (I know you can see all of this)

Bass Shapes (jazz, bass, singlecut, completely original)
in Bass Guitars
Posted
I've been thinking about this a lot as of late.
I like the fender shapes, I believe the clone bodies can offer better quality, better value for money etc, but there’s always this thing in the back of my mind that it’s still a copy (even if it’s a better version).
For me, what I’d really like to see is someone coming up with a really decent bass, but with individual looks and sounds but still works. Warwicks, Rickenbackers, Thunderbirds (though the same thing applies for borrowed guitar shapes – ignore my ASATs tele shape), singlecuts, the lakland basic shape, a lot of the hollowbodies, MMs
There must be tonnes more shapes around than Jazz/Precision
