[quote name='Mr Stinky' timestamp='1386080542' post='2295426'] When a guitar is completed and turned on for the first time, it has life and becomes a living thing with a soul. [/quote] They're just lumps of wood & metal - get a grip. FYI - Blackmore, and many others, use cheap mockups to destroy at the end of their shows. I'd happily smack the drummer in Greenday in the face too, but just for being the drummer in Greenday......

I don't think there's any correlation between how many owners a bass has had & how "good" it is - some people just like buying & selling gear. The Spector Euro 5LX I bought on here is a superb bass but it had lots of owners before me. It's easily the best five string I've played but I'm still not 100% sure a five string is right for me so I may well sell it on.

Personally I'd spend the money on a decent headphone amp for electric bass than bother with an acoustic one.

[quote name='TLBX' timestamp='1385480744' post='2288747'] Your dead right mate...... [/quote] Hang on a second, this is Basschat - you're not supposed to agree with people on here you know. A simple "You're talking bollocks, what the f*** do you know? I'm out of here" would have sufficed.

"Best offer accepted" - wonder what it went for?

[quote name='TLBX' timestamp='1385472738' post='2288599'] The live album Delicate Sound of Thunder for Guy Pratt doing his thing is super stuff.... [/quote] Personally I wouldn't recommend this to somebody just getting into Floyd as it's in no way an accurate representation of what make Floyd so brilliant - the material is ruined by a large ensemble of showboating musos IMO. I'm another big fan of "Animals", easily my favourite album of theirs.

Does she want you to use Dobly as well?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1385304545' post='2286599'] And there was me thinking Dr Who was a kids' programme. *Hides behind sofa* [/quote] It's almost as childish as middle aged men pretending to be pop stars.....

I think our very own Xilddx plays one of these models.

Your gig coinciding with the 50th Anniversary Dr. Who special probably didn't help with punter numbers much.

[quote name='bigd1' timestamp='1385234252' post='2285986'] Some of you have said you love , YES but can't get on with D/T..... [/quote] I used to be a big Yes fan, but I find them as unlistenable as Dream Theater these days. Haven't a clue why, they just irritate me. I find the majority of the music I've listened to for decades pretty much unlistenable these days to be honest.

I'm a big "Prog" fan but I've never liked Dream Theater, they just leave me cold. Amazing players & all that, but I just don't like what they do.

Ozric Tentacles supported my old band once donkeys years ago (late 80s).

Bloody hell, with the amount of godawful "novelty" songs being posted as examples of good covers in this thread I'm surprised nobody has posted a clip of the Barron Knights yet.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1384967324' post='2282933'] Sorry folks, the vast majority of examples posted so far for me have been the best arguments you can get for leaving the songs just how they were... [/quote] My thoughts exactly. [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1384962038' post='2282847'] You can play Superstition with almost any set up & it will sound sh*t. [/quote] Finished the sentence for you.

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1384964047' post='2282873'] Sorry - if that's right we should never have 'got' Blues. [/quote] I've never "got" blues, or Motown for that matter.

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1384946660' post='2282553'] I know very little of Kanye West...! Is he considered 'up there' in his genre? [/quote] He considers himself to be "A genius" apparently. I don't get it at all but I don't get lots of stuff from many different musical genres that people think is great so I'm not the best person to comment.

I'd probably buy a Basschat woolly hat.

[quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1384623591' post='2278900'] Sorry , I thought there were only two techniques (anchored on the pickup vs floating thumb - by which I mean anchoring Scott Devine explains it in the video below, the thumb anchors on the string [i]above the one you are plucking[/i], and also rests on the other strings to mute them. I [/quote] I would say that method is "Movable anchor" rather than "Floating Thumb". Personally I can't see either is neccesary on a four string, those techniques start to become useful as string muting becomes more of a concern on five, six & more strings. I use floating thumb on my five string but just keep my thumb anchored in the same place on my four string. At the end of the day it's what feels most comfortable to the individual.

XLR outputs were a standard feature on the old Jaydee Supernatural basses.

Grant Hart - Intolerance.

If I had to choose between US or Mexican for a Fender I'd go with Japanese every time.....

Life. The vast majority of music I used to listen to, especially Yes.
