Familiar and like the song.. (listening... not playing!)... Original / Remastered appears on a host of complilation albums. I found the alt version a pleadure to hear, add lib vocals, seperaton between instuments, a live in the studio vibe... sounded like they were having fun to me, possibly sounding a little rushed, but natural... Enjoyed that... will check out the album. As people are mentioning approach. i prefer a cover, not a copy. playing to be enjoyed with a bit of your own understanding - what the feel funk vibe and drive means to you - for all musicians...

Nothing wrong with Gumtree... Cash-on-collection is Cash-on-collecton... nothing can be simpler... Reverb have there own 'wallet' for transactions, but at a cost yo the seller Its the arsing about people, chancers and scamers that are the problem, and they can lurk anyware...

Spotted today in the local branch (Orpington) of Cack Converters... Ibby EDA900 - £249 Ticket... Just in case anyone is interested in a weird 'n wacky!... and as mentioned in the recent 'Skinny Necks' thread... took a couple of pics... would be in trouble if i bought it after the SR600 the other week...

Right then, Got the GSR200 back in April... Bass guitar for Dummies has been well thumbed... Gone through (some) of the Hal Leonard's The Bass Method Complete Edition... More read in isolation, rather than with bass in hand... Found some tabs of fav songs to try and mimic... 5 Months of noodling about, bit of finger strength and dexterity earnt... most arsing about is unplugged - ('lil Marshall sees the ocasional use, plug in headphone thing aint great, and wont fit the SR600 without digging out a lead and an effect pedal due to socket) and for an hour or so in the evening to escape the soaps on the gogglebox... Recent bit of GAS... SR600... Nice! So need something to up my learning... any recomendations to move me along? has got to be FREE... no dosh for subscriptions etc. Thanks in advance.

Check out the ibanez web site... great info on each model, neck dimensions etc. SR neck preety much all the same dimension within each range, Premier, Prestege, Standard... 5 piece neck, etc. woods vary but 38mm at nut, GSR slightly wider at the nut... 1 piece neck Got a GSR200 and a SR600 both necks are real nice...

Had a gig bag off Andy... Painless Tx...

Got an old Arion FX case, Tuner, Metal Dist, Chorus, Flanger - unfortunatly the delay has diven up!.. sounds nice on gtr and bass, but with the eldest and guitars... prefer a phaser on the bass, more organic, Flangers tend to sound more clocked and mechanical, i know they are a different effect, but have a similar feel...- so got cheapy Wholenote (chord) Chorus and a Phaser - Copies of the old Ibanez plastic bug style 'Sound Tank' range, so the Flanger may be worth a look... As for order, with the delay last you get more of the same... with the delay earlier in the chain, say before a flanger, phaser, chorus or any 'shifter' your repeats are subtly different... give it a try...

small prick :-)... needle 'n isopropyl alcohol... witch hazel etc... then rub some on ya fingers and leave to the air to harden... plasters just make things soggy...

can the pedal not be allocated to a control varable and used as volume, changing distortion level, chorus depth, phaser or flanger rate, delay time or repeats?

Worth the couple of quid extra for the 'x' with expression pedal?

BAX Music? Address in Folkstone? then shipped from Holland? - Yep, same here.

Can...

An Evening With Windham Hill Live... Michael Manring - Bass M-e-l-l-o-w... following my Sausage 'n Mash with Onion Gray...

Service should [edit:Shouldnt] depend on what ya spend... one persons grand may be an easy spend, someone elses 300 notes may be hard one and all they have... service is service.... I never see why these things happen... boils my fosters... Name n shame...

My first thoughts on the pics before reading any posts was... 'If Stormtroopers played bass...'

...Again to make string changes easier, the bridge itself I've adapted to be quick release by drilling though the tail piece alongside each string hole. Crude but works perfectly! Nice touch...

Ta... Recorder set...

@Old Man Riva post above got my 'Wobble-on' so digging out Rising Above Bedlam to rip to my mp3 player for laters, after fish n chips listening...

Get him that year of birth bass now...

My 'new to me' SR600 had a broken machinehead plastic washer... £4 for a pack of 8, posted from CDGuitars... arrived next day...
