Bugger RIP to an iconic bass player and (from all accounts) top bloke.
-
Cheers for the info guys! I love that style of bass playing. Very similar to some of the Scott Walker stuff. For example: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DpDxT2q9QE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DpDxT2q9QE[/url]

I have just discovered an artist that was previously unknown to me (although the style sounds hauntingly familiar). Anyone know who played bass on these recordings? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhxdnq_1OcM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhxdnq_1OcM[/url]

For people with more than 1 bass...

[quote name='Stag' timestamp='1369034287' post='2084030']Some have a certain sentimental value now as well.[/quote] Yeah, that's my Status. Had it from new since 1986. From time to time I consider selling or trading it, but then I get a twist in my soul and I can't imagine being without it. Which is odd, because I don't usually get attached to 'things' -

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1368912653' post='2083057'] Familiarity breeds contempt - having basses that feel different to each other makes you appreciate all the special characteristics of each one[/quote] This^. Although I find that three is about right for me. Four feels like a [i]collection[/i], and I am not a collector or anything but dust. -

[quote name='SimonH' timestamp='1369008313' post='2083975']Hi Conan, ah, is it a black one or a burst?[/quote] As black as a moorland pool on a moonless night.... and fitted with a black scratchplate too (although I still have the original white one). -
[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1342200678' post='1731601'] Sorry, the bass went looong time ago.. [/quote] You might want to add a "sold" type comment to the thread title then...

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1368958518' post='2083326'] do not sell it unless you really have to. You may regret it more than you realize at this point in time.[/quote] True. The market is very slow at the moment, which is great if you are a buyer.... but difficult if you want to sell. A couple of years ago you might have got close to three grand for this bass, but now? Keep it if you can

That's a beauty! For a "budget" bass, that has an immaculate finish... -
You have PM.

[quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1368912717' post='2083058'] If this was active, id have given it a shot. Really intrigued by acg [/quote] At this price, it would be worth buying it then popping down the M74 to Moffat to see if Mr ACG could fit you an active circuit! Lovely bass.... not interested in trades at all, I suppose? -
If this bass is actually for sale, you should place a "proper" advert in the "basses for sale" section. You have to pay to do this, but if you are looking to make around £1600-2000 on your sale, you shouldn't mind coughing up £7 to advertise it! Lovely bass BTW

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1368742831' post='2081112'] Such a great head. For bass guitar these things sound fantastic, are mega loud, and built like tanks. Future classic. And stupidly cheap. Don't be put off by the price, you could play this amp for the rest of your life and not miss out on anything. [/quote] Great review - and absolutely true!

[quote name='SimonH' timestamp='1368479487' post='2077654'] I'm after a P/J or J passive, pref. Fender (MIJ?)[/quote] I have a 2009 MIJ Fender Geddy Lee Jazz that I might be interested in trading.... it has EMG pickups but the bass itself (i.e. electronics and tone circuit) is passive. If you are interested, can you tell me a bit more about the kind of sounds that your Warwick can produce? I've never even played one, never mind owned one!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1368801116' post='2081729'] that nice little fill that Joe Bouchard does in the middle of BOC's 'Godzilla'.[/quote] Good call! Always liked that.

[quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1368796309' post='2081637'] I stuck on a set of 50- 110s a few months back. [/quote] Ah. Proper [i]man's[/i] strings

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1368798498' post='2081681'] What's with the Fragile labels? I thought these cabs were meant to be tough? [/quote] Didn't you know? You get a free CD from the Yes back catalogue with every Barefaced cab ordered. The label is merely to remind Alex's staff which disc is secreted in which box.

And replied...

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1367056340' post='2060698'] There seems to lots of love out there for the Barefaced cabs, but you must have 2 x 15.... [/quote] Yep! I love my Vintage to bits. A big, loud 2x15 that I can carry in one hand. What's not to like?

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1368654629' post='2079975'] Far better for someone with good hearing to do a review. [/quote] Quote of the month!! -
Sacrilege! changed the strings on my Steve Harris Precision for
Conan replied to sk8's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1368710294' post='2080475'] Does this mean that Steve Harris will come round to my house and leave a precision head on my pillow while I sleep?!! [/quote] Yes! And he might tell you how to spell 'sacrilege' too!! -
What bass is it? Did it come with the preamp or was it a retrofit?
-
[quote name='Stealth' timestamp='1368604677' post='2078986'] I am off to Bass Direct later...[/quote] No, not Warwick!

Cheap batteries tend not to last as long. There could be a wiring fault... have you looked inside to check for a short-circuit of some kind? Or get a technician or luthier to do it for you. 6 or 7 hours use is pretty terrible, even for cheap rechargeables!
