  1. [quote name='hagguy' post='737294' date='Feb 6 2010, 03:16 PM']did you get it sold ?[/quote] Hi, yes - sold now. Cheers.
  2. Sold, pending payment.
  3. Cheers fellas, I reckon it's a fair price, bearing in mind I bought the bugger two years ago for £850. As PMs have pointed out to me, it's not in the best of nick. But if I sold it for any less, I'd lose a couple of happy sacks. I like to be honest about these things. so I wanted to do a nice deal with fellow bass players. Not here to rip anyone off - which is why I posted pics that show the crack in all it's glory (although I do think they show it up in scary microscopic detail - it doesn't look that bad in the flesh).
  4. Had a couple of offers. I know this bass is damaged but I think £500 is a fair price, seeing as good used Sterlings go for £650 to £700. I'm prepared to go down to £450 but no more than that.
  5. Replied. Thanks for the trade offers, folks - unfortunately, I need to sell. Cheers, Steve
  6. Hi folks, I'm selling my Musicman Sterling. It has a lovely sound and plays like a dream, but I've realised active basses aren't for me. It comes with: * A Hipshot D-Tuner - I've kept the original peg and can refit this if you like. * Bronze strap locks - again, I've kept the originals. * Musicman hard case. About six months ago, I made the mistake of leaning the bass on a chair and running for the phone. It slid onto the floor - and now there's a crack running below the bridge to the backplate - as you can see in the pictures. There's also a bit of a ding. I've never had this happen to a bass before, so I don't know whether it can be fixed or improved. Maybe some of you with experience of repairs might know? So, in view of the condition, I'd like to sell this for [b]£500[/b]. If you want me to deliver, I think it will be around £25 extra. Cheers, Steve Some pics - [url="http://s825.photobucket.com/albums/zz176/mildmanofrock/"][b]and some more here.[/b][/url] [attachment=41766:IMG_1979.JPG] [attachment=41767:IMG_1984.JPG] [attachment=41768:IMG_1991.JPG] [attachment=41769:IMG_2004.JPG] [attachment=41770:IMG_2005.JPG] [attachment=41772:IMG_1962.JPG]
  7. [quote name='Pete Academy' post='727278' date='Jan 28 2010, 09:16 AM']On the plus side, I've just noticed I've been upgraded to 'Very Advanced Member'. Member?...fnar, fnarr[/quote] Should I laugh at that? I'm quite proud of being a fully fledged member.
  8. Ultimately, the moderators control all and can decide which threads stay or go. Moral perspectives are subjective. But I do get the impression some are going a bit far with trying to show their 'right on' credentials. For me, there's been no harm in any of it. No abuse, porn or debasement. Just a bunch of musicians bantering and indulging in a bit of bawdy humour in an off topic forum. Like a lot of films or tv programmes: if you don't like it, don't watch it.
  9. Fancy a quick pluck, baby? [attachment=41271:bass.jpg]
  10. Eh? Eh? Don't get many o' them to the pound! Cor!
  11. Phwoooarr! Look at the frets on that!
  12. Bump. Fruity pedal, grit to grrr. £35 including postage.
  13. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Fq0NRfeKs"]Here's one reason [/url]why it's Ampeg for me.
  14. Nice, very very nice - great video too. I'd fall for these amps in a big way if they weren't orange. Superficial, I know.
  15. [quote name='spaz91' post='718288' date='Jan 19 2010, 07:32 PM']I know someone who would be interested. Would you recommend this to an overenthusiastic 15 year old metalhead who just wants GAIN up the arse?[/quote] Most definitely. Plug into this little puppy, and he'll s**t himself.
  16. [url="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=38698598"]Just found a video demo of the pedal on bass[/url] - pretty sick distortion.
  17. They look like they've covered themselves in glue and run through Widow Twannkey's dressing room.... ... but what is this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvHFtF1rdRo&feature=related"]gorgeous bass?[/url] Love the sound too: crisp, crunchy and meaty.
  18. [quote name='cm261' post='712774' date='Jan 14 2010, 05:10 PM']Yeah I noticed that and was very surprised Also, £90 posted for this thing, with the original tin, sample settings, etc.?! This is a steal, surely. Maybe people are getting pretty serious about holding out for the VT Bass Deluxe?[/quote] Hi there - yeah, you could be right about the deluxe version. I'm just selling cos I have an Ampeg and Sansamp, so I don't really need it - plus I need the cash. Also, I imagine the deluxe version will be a lot more expensive. Thanks for noticing me!

    Octave

    I use an EBS Octabass which is really good. Can't really think of many songs with octavers in the bass at the moment - Sledgehammer is one. Trevor Horn playing Close to the Edit live at the Prince's Trust is another - amazing sound on that. Anyone got a link?
