    I could also be tempted by an Epiphone Thunderbird in one of the other colours such as Pelham Blue, Metallic Blue, Metallic Red, Gloss Black or white I'm also after a Boss OC-3 and 2 Digitech Bass Synth Wahs

    [quote name='Dom in Somerset' post='1358481' date='Sep 1 2011, 09:48 AM']I set one up for them just like that, they sold it on-line a few months back. It's a nice bass, the set up out of the box wasn't great but it's well made , the neck has two truss rods and set up easily. This is a bargain! I was vaguely interested in the one I saw but didn't need a bass with so many strings or knobs.[/quote] As far as active 6 string basses goes, this is remarkably simple to operate. I used to fiddle with my Ibanez 6 string all during a gig but this is simple. You've just got master volume, pickup pan and active bass & treble controls. Just like 8 strings, everyone should own at least one 6 string, even if its just to say "nah, that's not for me". I've had 4

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1358512' date='Sep 1 2011, 10:14 AM']I used to have a Hohner B2A headless that had a drop-D lever on the bridge. Maybe look into that? Edit: Like this: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hohner-Steinberger-Headless-Guitar-Travel/dp/B000XT78XK"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hohner-Steinberger...l/dp/B000XT78XK[/url][/quote] I'd looked at them before but I'm a big guy and it would look like I was playing with a twig and I'd really like a full body headless. The drop D lever would come in handy but the one I really have my eye on, the Washburn Status, doesn;t seem to have come with this as an option. Thanks for all the replies. I guess if I'd had a shot of one before then I'd already know how to tune it but I don't know anyone who has one so haven't been able to check before.

    No. I've never actually been to that part of the country now you come to mention it.

    two completely different instrumental tracks: Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy by Return to Forever Fela's Cock by the Chilis

    I've got my heart set on a headless bass, most likely something cheap like a Washburn or a Hohner Jack. There's one song in particular that requires the E to go down to D. Normally that's just a turn of the tuner and I'm good to go but having never ever had my hands on a headless bass before, how quickly can that be done on a headless? Ideally I would like one with one of those detuning bridge thingies with the lever but in case I can't get one i thought I'd ask the question
  9. Delberthot
    I think there's still a silver one for sale here for £150. Have a look, I think its still available
  10. Delberthot
    I'm looking for a headless bass, preferrably a Washburn Status but may consider others as long as they are the full size body and not cricket bat type.

    I've not long had this as it was meant to be used for the project I was working on involving using all kinds of MIDI gubbins and synths but its not happening so I don't need it any more. Its a 6 string, active 2 band EQ, bolt-on neck and gold hardware. The output jack wasn't 100% so I've replaced it with a Neutrik one and its all tickety boo. Considering I play a Thunderbird with a neck like a pencil, the string spacing and neck dimensions on this are pretty good. Its quite narrow but still very playable. probably more along the lines of an Ibanez SR1016 I used to have as opposed to the ironing board Yamaha TRB6 I used to have. There's a wee bit of neck dive but I've yet to play a 6er that doesn't have it a bit of it but a good neoprene or suede strap takes care of the worst of it. It will come in a decent gig bag and £135 gets it delivered to your door for mainland UK. It will probably be a bit more for Ireland, Europe etc. Photbucket is being a pain - despite making sure that they were the right way up before uploading them, they appeared the wrong way up on Photobucket so I rotated them again only to find out that when I link to them they're still all over the place.

    I don't like Fenders and I don't like sunburst finishes so why do I love this bass so much? To me it looks like the stubby little brother of the Bass V.

    I reported it so maybe it gets pulled while they look at it
  16. Delberthot
    Just listened to it now and its terrible. But name me a band that still does great songs 20-30 years down the line? Like many other bands, they mellow with age, the songs get more poppy and happy clappy, all their best ideas have already been recorded, they don't do the drugs that they used to. I mean look at the Stones, they should've jacked it in 30 years ago. This is all, of course, my personal opinion. Plus I'm full of beer

    What stupid clot posts a phoney advert and shows their location on the map? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ciVBQixpU"]Candygram for Mongo[/url]

    Looks like a copy and paste from an ebay ad [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Music-Man-Big-Al-5-String-Bass-Single-H-NEW-/180594748009"]Its this bass[/url]

    [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' post='1349997' date='Aug 24 2011, 10:18 AM']The majority of the squillions out there cost between 1 and 3 thousand pounds. This one costs 300 pounds. That for me is something to get excited about.[/quote] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=jazz+bass+-string*+-pendant+-mug+-mini*&_sacat=4713&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15&LH_PrefLoc=1&_dmpt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&_odkw=jazz+bass+-string*+-pendant+-mug+-mini&_osacat=4713&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313"]Really?[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/cat.html?gf=4_string_j_basses&ls=100&oa=pra"]More[/url] I'm really not trying to have a go although my response was sarcastic but the market is swimming in Jazz basses of all colours and body woods well under a grand.

    Bought a Sonuus B2M. Absolutely flawless transaction. Quick as you like and well wrapped.
  21. Delberthot
    Absolutely right. If you're playing a small gig it will normally only have a vocal PA and a large one ill have a full PA. I use the same gear regardless of venue and its never let me down, its just not trendy.
  22. Delberthot
    Digging that modern modeonham bosimyeon Woooooo, a Jazz bass. There's not many different versions of that is there? Sorry but I just cannot get excited about another jazz bass copy to go with the squillions already out there
  23. Delberthot
    On Hold
  24. Delberthot
    Now also for sale bump £140 delivered to your door - mainland UK only. Europe, Highlands & Islands & Ireland will cost more but I can get you a quote if interested.
