  1. Definitely time to move on. Politely decline the artist's offer of doing 'other things' and wish them luck with the new bassist/arranger/producer... I assume the new guy is doing all three jobs, like you were?
  2. Gentle reminder to all: [b]OFFERS OF TRADES SHOULD BE MADE VIA [u]PM ONLY[/u][/b]. Not on the sale thread. Ta. [quote name='Fabrocker' timestamp='1468519960' post='3091547'] [b]Gibson Thunderbird USA 1998 [/b] [s][b]859 GBP[/b][/s][b], 829 incl. shipping and case for Thunderbird[/b] [u][i]Interested in trades for a Status basses. [/i][/u] [u][i](can add cash)[/i][/u] Poland/Poznan [b]Gibson Thunderbird USA 1998 [/b] Some cracks on lacquer, some dings. Normal stuff. Everything works. Everything original. Very low action. Its a beauty! incl. case for Thunderbird [/quote]
  3. [quote name='BaconCheese' timestamp='1478977298' post='3173125'] These are amazing- and not just for the price. These are great instruments, period. [/quote] This. GLWTS!
  4. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1481447596' post='3192280'] If stuff like this bothers you, don't buy sight unseen... [/quote] This.
  5. Pics would be good. The original link doesn't appear to work.
  6. This is the best passive 5 string I've ever played -- OldGit's gorgeous Shuker P.
  7. In terms of sheer quality and sonic gorgeousness, [url="http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/j36.jpg"]my Shuker custom 5[/url]. In terms of bang-per-buck, Sire V7 Marcus Miller.
  8. I've always been partial to 12/8. It's a bouncy happy signature. ☺
  9. Please don't do that skank. If you took a gentleman's walk into the woods with your Webley, I don't [i]*snif* [/i]think I could carry on... [i]*sob* [/i]
  10. I have three that see regular use:[list=1] [*]the built-in one on my Pod XT Live; [*]my trusty old Korg DT-7; [*]a cheapo clip-on that does ok with all strings apart from low B. [/list] The Korg is the only one I use for anything delicate such as setting intonation.
  11. My mate had a silverface Fender Twin and used it in exactly the way mentioned by Mm20 above -- standalone for lovely crystal clean tones, or with a TS9 for those dirty moments. It was the perfect rig, apart from the fact that the Twin weighed as much as a truck and only had one poxy handle.
  12. I love Yamaha basses. Near unbeatable VFM in my opinion.
  13. I'm still trying to work out exactly what makes it 'rare'... apart from its condition
  14. [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1481059415' post='3189433'] Why the snobby downer on chorus? Chorus and octave, learn Sledgehammer and have a blast. [/quote] ? I have no downer on chorus. Quite the opposite.
  15. "Do you admit to posting a thread entitled 'omg this drumer is at teh wrong gig lol' without using the forum search first?"
  16. [quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1480964279' post='3188499'] Steve Vai once met me after a gig! [/quote] Yes I did meet you, and I'm a member on here too! although I generally use this alias. And JTUK.
  17. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1480969111' post='3188588'] unless you want everything you do to sound like the theme music from Bergerac. [/quote] If all my fretless playing sounded like Mo Foster, I would be happier than a pig in sh*t.
  18. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1480883004' post='3187826'] looks the part...just need to get some sound out of the sucker... [/quote] Oh good god, that is p0rn0graphic.
  19. Antex irons are pretty good, my old XS25 iron was reliable and consistent. I have a Weller soldering station that I, ahem, [i]borrowed[/i] from work and it's lovely. Worth looking for a similar setup on fleabay IMO if you're planning to do a lot of work in the future. I also have an Antex Gascat gas iron which is great for portability.
  20. This isn't mine, but mine was identical. My first decent amp, a Laney ProBass 150w 4x10 combo that my wonderful amazing parents got me for my 21st birthday. It was a marvellous amp, and served me well for many years. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/jazza42uk/Mobile%20Uploads/bassanlage-laney-pro-foto-bild-116106841_zpstxwf3urs.jpg[/IMG]
  21. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1480543329' post='3185360'] And what type of physical condition your in also matters. If a guy is sporting a huge arse there's going to be some limitations. [/quote] 'Arse'? Not 'ass'? We'll make a Brit of you yet
  22. Everybody's calling it a 'non-story' and 'not news'... well given that it's in the Magazine section, I don't think it's actually intended to be news, just an item of interest.
