[quote name='2wheeler' post='264719' date='Aug 18 2008, 04:47 PM']I am sad to say that I cannot yet play in time.[/quote] Are you the drummer in my old band?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='266136' date='Aug 20 2008, 10:43 AM']I was expected to set my gear up and then set up the whole PA inc monitors...[/quote] Why is bass players always seem to be the ones that set the PA up first and all our stuff last? I do own the PA but it doesn't mean I want to set it up solo thanks!

[quote name='ped' post='265353' date='Aug 19 2008, 12:01 PM']Mine is basically what I have now, but in a case that I am having made, with a couple of additions. [/quote] That's a great looking barbeque Ped. Let us know when you fire it up and I'll bring round some chicken kebabs.

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='266003' date='Aug 20 2008, 12:09 AM']Totally agree. You may sound like you playing whatever bass, but the basses will all sound like whatever they are.[/quote] +1. I reckon a lot of it is in the fingers but imagine Jamerson on a Stingray w/roundwounds or Mark King on a Hofner Violin w/flatwounds. Their style would still be there but it would sound a bit odd.

[quote name='cetera' post='265627' date='Aug 19 2008, 04:17 PM'] Has she lost her legs and is having prosthetics fitted?!? [/quote] It's more a "check-up from the neck up". Apparently the new neck and head will make a sound that goes on for ages as well as pointing out your mistakes more clearly than the standard one. I can't see how that's possible...

Trust your instinct. Would you send cash to someone who'd placed a classified ad? No. PayPal would be the obvious solution I guess or fly up there and pick it up.

There's not really a bass I feel sorry about selling but I wish I'd held onto my Fender Rumble combo. I sold it when it was only about a year old in perfect nick (with a custom made cover) because I was lusting after a head and cab I'd seen. I got a good price for it but it was a great for rehearsals - should have kept the flipping thing!

I'm just shipping mine off to a man in Essex who's promising to replace half of her in carbon graphite. I'm hoping she'll come back looking pretty and nice to touch.

Sounds really good. You're locked in nicely with the drummer, which is great. Lots of space to it all, like it.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='265015' date='Aug 18 2008, 10:28 PM']...I might pop along. If I do I'll bring my Shuker P5...[/quote] Please do. You'll have people crowding round it like a supercar at a motorshow.

Er - it's supposed to be a friendly forum, not Exchange and Mart. Edit: that's directed at the OP - not Wayne.

[quote name='ped' post='262537' date='Aug 14 2008, 04:22 PM']I found NYC pretty awful bass wise. Only a couple of shops and both were staffed by utter to$$ers.[/quote] LA's the best - as long as you don't mind being called "dude" and "man" by the dudes, er, people who work in Guitar Center and the like.

There's a G&L L2500 Tribute going in the For Sale section at the moment. £350. Lots of bass for not much cash. Far east made but with US pickups, bridge and pre-amp.
