I think these pre-date the first Wal by a few years (the design at least).

Wishbass... the guy's a legend.

If the father's story is true, I would take the refund rather than get stuck in a legal dispute that would, without any doubt, cost me time and money.

Until recently I never imagined that this sort of thing had been going on in Soviet Russia: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge9_YFvPBpM[/media]

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1452856688' post='2954088'] It's cringe worthy, isn't it? [/quote] No.

[quote name='dand666' timestamp='1452852702' post='2954039'] Spoken like a true Jazzer lol. Im surprised when I speak to the orchestra guys on ships how much of these huge albums they've missed. I envy you man, you get to listen to 'Songs in the key of Life' , 'Music from the Big pink' and so many more for the first time. Wish i can have these experiences back. It's like listening to DSOTM for the first time. Everyone knows where they were. Game changer. [/quote] I can't. I didn't really like it. Pink Floyd are like the Beatles to me... bands I really, really tried to force myself to listen to because, as a musician, you're kind of supposed to like them. Or because listening to them will benefit you because other people found them interesting and were influenced to produce music that I liked. I find the music of both bands uninteresting.

So many of them... Rebel Rebel, China Girl, Fame and Ashes to Ashes are all great fun to play.

Complete shock here.

[quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1450269233' post='2931167'] Not sure about Germany, but in the UK there is up to 6 years (5 in Scotland) to claim reasonable repair costs or replacement for a good; dependent on its value and how long it's lasted. e.g. My £280 TV has just gone pop after 3yrs. I've got no chance getting a free repair. But if you'd paid £1,200 for a super-spiffy washing machine and it packs in after 3yrs I'd expect a free repair or replacement, less reasonable deduction for 3yrs use. Of course the problem is deciding what is 'reasonable' both in terms of time and value, and unless you take the retailer (not the manufacturer) through small claims, you will get nowhere with after sales. How long have you had it? £8.5k for a Bass should mean it ought to last years - even if regularly gigged - that's it's job after all. If the repair is beyond economic value then they ought to replace it. I dunno about Warwick - but other German firms like Miele and Bosch take this sort of aftercare very seriously. Extended warranties are a con and standard 12mth guarantees are bare minimums if you ask me. [/quote] Statutory rights like these relate to a contract between a retailer and a consumer. The consumer has no contract with the manufacturer other than a manufacturer's warranty. On private sales of second hand goods the consumer has far less protection. It basically comes down to whether the item is as described and there is no requirement to disclose faults (although if the item is listed for sale as being in excellent condition, you'd be able to argue that it was not as described). Warranties are not transferable unless there is a specific clause in the contract.

I wasn't there. But I have seen facial injuries that people have sustained from falling onto a pavement and they looked far worse than you'd expect. Jaco was an amazing bass player who wrote some amazing music. He was also very ill and on a downward spiral of self-destruction. If it hadn't been Havan it would have been someone else.

[quote name='jonnythenotes' timestamp='1450293561' post='2931485'] Hi Dlloyd..... I am not sure how to put photos on [/quote] I usually use a photo hosting service like photobucket. You can upload them here too.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1450100186' post='2929528']Anyway, after reading the sleeve notes about his life and very tragic death at the age of just 35, I decided to read the Wiki page about him and was absolutely horrified to hear how he died at the hands of a Bouncer at a local music club in Florida. What makes the tragic story even worse is that the guy who killed him only served 4 months in prison for committing such an awful crime!![/quote] Wikipedia is an odd place. It is supposed to present a neutral point of view on subjects but by its very nature it can't. When you're dealing with a celebrity who has a large fan base it becomes very difficult to achieve balance on emotive subjects. Jaco was denied entry to a nightclub because he was drunk. According to the bouncer, Jaco turned aggressive and started to hit him. One retaliatory punch knocked him to the floor and it was hitting the pavement that fractured his skull. The bouncer was charged with 2nd degree murder but convicted of involuntary manslaughter, sentenced to 22 months but released after 8 months (4 of which had been served before trial). The sentence given is similar to those received in the UK for comparable incidents.

Bound neck is unusual... let's see a photo! The serial number points to 1979 http://www.musicmanbass.org/mycustompage0011.htm

I think both bands are massively over-rated.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1449702485' post='2926211'] I have one of these, although my 'style' is as far from 'metal' as one could get without becoming 'folk'. Mine is strung and tuned as a bass; lovely 'piano' tones. Excellent lutherie for the money, and very easy to play. Very flexible as far as choice of strings and tunings go, so eminently fit for purpose, I'd say. [/quote] I had one for a while... strung as a Fender Bass VI. Great value for money.

I dabble in gypsy jazz as a guitarist, and drummers are rare within the genre, with the rhythm guitar style having evolved to emulate a brushed snare sound. Here's a couple of good examples: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOC-xZOWFnc[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbkZbEsQIWY[/media]

[quote name='tinyd' timestamp='1449346442' post='2922844'] This blog has an entry about Sam Jones' version on Somethin Else along with a transcription [url="http://bassoridiculoso.blogspot.ie/2011/01/sam-jones-bass-line-on-leaves.html?m=1"]http://bassoridiculo...leaves.html?m=1[/url] [/quote] This is a must read for all bass players.

Difficult question to answer with the information provided. What sort of textbook are you after? An instructional book? Theory? What level is he at?

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1449276241' post='2922262'] Those sharp edges look like they will dig in to your legs after a while if you play sitting down. Unless you are buying a top end model, you will not be getting an Ibanez made in Japan. [/quote] How big a distinction is MIJ vs MIK?

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1449260923' post='2922110'] If you can live without the term and go hardtail, I'd recommend an RG®421 or RG®321 - the ® bit is the alternative model number for a reverse headstock which I am very partial too! I have a limited edition 321 known as a 'Ninja' and I love it! Look out for a build thread soon as I'm working on an absolute dream of mine - an Ibanez model which I don't think exists. Very excited for when that arrives! [/quote] How are these, other than cheap? http://www.gak.co.uk/en/ibanez-rg421-mol-mahogany-oil-finish/85523?gclid=CKyR5syOw8kCFSf4wgodpMkExw

Here Comes Your Man, The Pixies.

Okay, I've logged a visit to that shop on my list of things to do when I win the lottery. I'm going to play Smoke on the Water on every guitar in the shop.

While tidying my office at home I found an old prospectus for the Guitar Institute and Basstech in London, now the Institute for Contemporary Music Performance. It's from the early-mid 1990s and, flicking through it, I was surprised to see a fairly detailed week by week breakdown of their syllabuses (syllabi?). One element that intrigued me was the idea of "accelerated learning techniques". Both the intermediate guitar and bass courses start with this. It appears to be a concept borrowed from the Musicians Institute in Hollywood (where Alan Limbrick who founded the ICMP studied) and was developed by Howard Roberts. This youtube clip explains it a little. The guy has a book he's selling, but the clip is useful. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haxh7d54b0w[/media] A lot of common sense, perhaps.

Anybody use this resource? It's full of old instructional dvds, back issues of magazines etc. Looks too good to be true/legal. What's the catch? http://faststrings.com/
