Cor lumme guvnor that is nice and a wee bit like a Lemmy sig Ric and the same price as a standard 4003

Where's me washboard? Have you seen it?

I've developed uncontrollable gas for a reasonably priced 12 string bass but there's little out there at present. What happened to all the Galveston / Carlo Robelli / etc ones from a few years ago? D'oh, should've kept this one [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/12versand8s/DSC00622.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/12versand8s/DSC00622.jpg[/IMG][/URL] But Dean are re-releasing the Rhapsody 12 so here's hoping it's not silly expensive

Without a shadow of a doubt the best fretless I ever owned and I'm in the process of saving for another [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Stingrays/DSC02412Large.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Stingrays/DSC02412Large.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Stingrays/DSC02414Large.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Stingrays/DSC02414Large.jpg[/IMG][/URL] My old defretted Trace T-bass - first thing I ever sold on Egay all those years ago [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Various/JPEGImage1216521Large.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Various/JPEGImage1216521Large.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Yamaha TRB6 II defretted at the Bass Centre and fitted with DR multi coloured strings.

This is an Antoria fretless that I used to have and it went to a forum member [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Antoria%20Fretless/DSC06664Small.jpg.html"][/url] Even more bizzare is an Aria ZZB that had been defretted, again it went to another froum member [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Aria%20ZZB%20Fretless/DSC06311Large.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Aria%20ZZB%20Fretless/DSC06311Large.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I bought this from Rumour6 and stupidly sold it.

Check out my review of the NX115 as these cabs were meant to be paired together.

My old band used a 2u Kam power amp to power the pa tops and a 3u Carlsbro one for the subs for about 14 years. We then "upgraded" them to 2 Crown 602XLS and one of them blew up after 2 years. One of the channels stopped working on the other one shortly after that

My first bass - a red with maple fretboard Marlin Slammer bought from the Littlewoods catalogue for £99 in 1987 Defretted it by taking a large flat rasp file down the neck which flattened it so had to take it to a guy to reprofile it. I then painted it black by first using pink household undercoat then black emulsion and a large brush. Finally I decided to strip it to the bare wood using a scraper. Other than that all the chrome started peeling off the chrome parts and the strings were rusty as I didn't know you had to change them Went in the bin 4 years after being bought and was replaced with a Riverhead Jupiter As far as properly gig and rehearsal worn out goes I haven't owned a bass long enough to do that. I look after all my stuff so it would take the pickup failing or the frets wearing out to get it to that stage but then that's why Leo put bolt on necks on them so they could be changed

I think that these instruments have either arrived damaged or have dodgy necks in some way. It would probably cost them more to pay someone to remove the parts than to just put it up for sale

The seller states that they do not know what brand was originally on the headstock so not a genuine Fedner

If you're not gigging next Saturday I'm playing in Finnegans. It's not a 2x15" but the trouser flap of the 4x10" and clarity of the 15" allow me to sit in the mix and still cut through nicely. Although I am going through another Flea phase so I may well have the treble cranked and the action lowered by then. I'm actually fighting the urge to buy a Status graphite neck to put on the precision but I think that's going to be on another bass a few months down the line.

Well that's the Chilis well and truly pumped then.

One 4 string bass and one D-tuner. That's all I need. Used 5, 6, 8 & 12 string basses for years but I really only need one 4 string to do everything

Looks exactly like mine but passive and different bridge. I'm glad they changed the bridge, that was the only thing I hated about it. I've got a Gotoh 201 on mine now

It's taken a long time for me to get to where I want to be. I've had two Hartke LH500s and a Laney NX115 before but never at the same time. My current setup of NX410 on the floor with the NX115 above it and the LH1000 on top is spectacular. The reasoning being that the 410 pumps out a lot of trouser flapping bass and the NX115 is a really clear cab and at nearly ear level I can hear myself perfectly. Part of my tone is also the green Precision with EMGs into the passive input of the amp which I fitted a JJ ECC83s valve gives me nice subtle overdrive. When we did a sound check the other week, the guitarist said that my sound was consistently good from right in front of the stage to the back of the room and I've never had that before.

I don't know how much difference there is if any but the covers comfortably fit over a Gotoh 201

I was amazed when I saw the current Quo line up a few years ago how much Rhino's tone sounded like Flea. Not what I was expecting. BTW we're all hoping that they'll do the full version of Mystery Song this year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4wNdFppo44

[quote name='witterth' timestamp='1390928259' post='2351415'] A friend of mine works at a venue Original Quo played in the north of England. This person says of Quo/A.L. ( no reason to doubt) that they sent out from the dressing room for "superglue to glue his Pick to his fingers as he couldn't hold it" and that Alan looked "Frail" sounds unlikely but they swear its true. Gaffer taped fingers pictures reminded me of this story and started to wonder ( just saying) [/quote] When I saw them last year at the Academy in Glasgow Alan definitely had a problem holding his plectrum and, yes, he did look frail I'm afraid. Apparently he had been going to the gym to build up his fitness for the tour. Going to see them in April again
