Finally! I've been waiting with much anticipation for these photos. It looks great!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1031619' date='Nov 21 2010, 05:57 PM']Yet again, a perfectly obvious and harmless thread gets criticised. I fully understand it's a generation thing, but I was just asking people to name a song that people would recognise instantly by the bassline alone. ie. Peaches. Judging by the responses there seems to be a lot of songs that are instantly recognisable.[/quote] I always wonder why some people have to over complicate things. [quote name='skej21' post='1031629' date='Nov 21 2010, 06:01 PM']We should change the thread to "avatars that everyone recognises"... I think we all love yours pete:P[/quote] I've no idea who that is in his 'tar.

I guess there aren't any basslines that EVERYONE knows.

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='1030711' date='Nov 20 2010, 06:50 PM']Sorry, I've been talking to a lot of guitarists recently. [/quote] I bet they're confused by the blue neck

[quote name='MythSte' post='1030903' date='Nov 20 2010, 10:00 PM']your rigs always look so cool BB. Mighty preddy.[/quote] Yeah, great looking rigs and beautiful basses!

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1031260' date='Nov 21 2010, 11:31 AM']Well, if people in the street were to recognise that it would be the guitar rather than the bass, it would be Lucozade not Iron Maiden.[/quote] I know they'd probably associate it with the ad more than Maiden, but as the guitar and the bass are basically playing the same thing I don't think it'd make any difference. But I agree, most people wouldn't recognise it.

[quote name='Doddy' post='1031243' date='Nov 21 2010, 11:19 AM']'Phantom.......' by Iron Maiden? Really? I've never heard it. I think the majority of people wouldn't have a clue.[/quote] If you're of a certain age it was the music from the Lucozade ad with Daley Thompson

[quote name='LiamPodmore' post='1031218' date='Nov 21 2010, 10:56 AM']The Roland V-Drums seem to get alot of love, saw one of my teachers use one last year and his was very responsive. I don't know if they sell single peices though, so you might have to scour ebay for one.

How about "Reach Out, I'll Be There"? Oh and "War" - Edwin Starr... (can you tell I'm listening to a load of Motown this morning?)

I've only recently got a Markbass head (and a 4 x 8" cab) so I'm still finding my way with it. But I was really surprised by how different my basses sounded through it, through my old amp they all sounded very similar, with just subtle differences.

[quote name='flyfisher' post='1030847' date='Nov 20 2010, 08:38 PM']How about if I buy a new CD of some band and then offered to pass it around to everyone on Basschat?[/quote] That'd be fine with me as long as people listened to it and passed it on without copying it.

Has anyone mentioned Heard It Through The Grapevine?

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='1030683' date='Nov 20 2010, 06:18 PM']What? No [size=5][b]negative[/b][/size] comments? This is what it really looks like:[/quote] I think we all worked that out thanks...

[quote name='daz' post='1029765' date='Nov 19 2010, 06:52 PM']Tell that to the worlds second hand book shops, and record stores.[/quote] and libraries...

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1025494' date='Nov 16 2010, 08:19 AM']I reckon ashdown would do the replacement parts if you ask them[/quote] I asked about a new battery cover and the response back was "We don't carry spare parts for our effects pedals, a replacement is not possible"

[quote name='JPAC' post='1029088' date='Nov 19 2010, 11:41 AM']Found out that all my pristine vinyl 1970's punk records are all ruined by my nephew who borrowed them without my knowledge... sob. [/quote] Is castration to harsh?

HAHAHA, I've only just noticed that the bass in question went up for sale 3 days ago... That's some patience you got there mate! EDIT: Just discovered all the other posts...

[quote name='Golchen' post='1028432' date='Nov 18 2010, 09:01 PM']WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?[/quote] LOUD NOISES!!! From what I can tell stuff is being bought and sold on here all the time.

[quote name='BTS_Spacebass' post='1028336' date='Nov 18 2010, 07:40 PM']Just got a blowtorch pedal and loving it, however, would like it to be modded so the blowtorch button is on a second footswitch rather than the silly side mounted button its got now can anyone on here do this for me? Thanks T[/quote] I had a go at doing this and failed at the first step. I couldn't even get the pcb out...

I was really tempted to get the Black 4 string Dingwall Afterburner ABZ from Mark using Take It Away, then someone on here went and bought the bass in question
