  1. How many Streamers do you have, have you given up on the Tattoo Parlour ?

  2. I have done a few deals on this here forum, buyz, sellz, tradz and with one exception they went seamlessly. Rather than bore you with the pedantic minutia of my Fretless NT Thumb transaction with Vdoc I thought I would award a points system. In this case it works like this: 1 Point is Sh*te 10 Points exceptional.

    Communication before Cash Transfer: 8
    Communications after Cash Transfer: 1
    Packaging: 1
    Tracking Communication: 1
    Overall Feelgood Deal factor: 1

    I did do due diligence with three other people who had dealt with Vdoc (Newbie) and agreed to go ahead with this leap of faith, my decision and my experience.

    The bass will need some work but thats acceptable for an '89.

    This may help other Basschatters with a GAS conundrum

    Oldman, Vdoc has had a full original '89 (or 88?) fretless Thumb, like mine ;)

    However, i've made 19 photos of the bass, here the link : [url="http://www.mediafire.com/?3xhqflbnaah9yq8"]http://www.mediafire...3xhqflbnaah9yq8[/url]

    Not anymore he does'nt, it landed on my doorstep yesterday, took Mrs Blondie by surprise as I am in Dubai at the moment. It's an '89 and I cant wait to get it unwrapped when I get home Saturday morning. So that's my utopian moment, 18 Months it took to realise my GAS.

    Now somebody buy this fretted version, believe me it is a bargain at this price, er type bump.

  4. Sing the tune in your head, yep, in your head. You can learn the bass, then the words, or do it together. But, if you know the tune inside your head you will know when it is 'wrong'. Singing and playing bass is your independence bit that drummers take for granted. A good start, IMO is old rock and roll stuff, you can laugh but it chugs along and is relatively easier to hold the tune ... When it gets to Politician or Born Under A Bad Sign well that is when you need the Tune in you head. Oh, and sing at the top of your voice, in the car, get a feel for your range.... Works for me

  5. Guys, searching for a utopian app that would effectively do what the TASCAM electrickey does, I found Practise Pro, downloaded the Lite version which is Free, then promptly forgot about it, the way you do. I revisited it last week when I wanted to listen to something a bit closer and ran the lite version, it did what I wanted, allbeit with a limit to length of tune, but it allowed you to listen to a minute or so. So I bought the full blown version £6.99, an Apple rip, but still. You can book mark and loop, keep the pitch whilst slowing down the tune. No bass specific filters, yet but the Author, Balazs Faldi said that would would be in an upgrade.................... Try it if dont already have it, if you do got it, tell Balazs and review it...

    Thanks for perusin'

  6. For freaks sake, I should never have sold mine, but I did and now I have other Germanian elctrickery which whilst not as miniscule as the AER is OK and Stereo. But, this is a bargain, buy it and buy the Roland Sub for some trouser flappingly, no DI needed, bottom end. You know you want to ..............er, oh................type bump
