    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1105377' date='Jan 27 2011, 06:27 PM'] I might just run with the Promethean head for a bit, just for change.[/quote] Oh well. Liver let die...

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1105293' date='Jan 27 2011, 05:29 PM']Etienne... not sure. Possibly another bass. [/quote] And how will anyone else hear it?

    Lakeland do a product called "stick stuff remover". Does exactly what it says on the, er.... bottle! [url="http://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/keyword/sticky%20stuff%20remover"]http://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/keyword/sticky%20stuff%20remover[/url]

    Is this about bass players who predominantly play a P or are best known for playing one, or just anyone who has ever played one, even for one track?! John Deacon David Margen Byron Miller Steve Harris Roger Waters (for tone) Stanley Clarke (I'm sure he must have played one at some stage...!)

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='1088138' date='Jan 13 2011, 03:17 PM']Recent discovery- Status Hotwires. Have a look, see what Rob and Dawn can do for you. Huge range of types and gauges, plus they're well made, sound good and are durable.[/quote] I'm liking the look of them too. After years on Elites I fancy a change but don't want to play the "boutique" prices... If I buy the double-ball strings in a pack of six they come in at twelve quid a set!!

    Everyone is after one of these instead... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120281&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=120281&hl=[/url]

    You get a gig bag as well??? Wow. These will be brilliant for schools. In fact, I think I might go get one for our music department!! Nice colour too...

    John Bonham. Just so that I could say that I had.

    [quote name='Kinder' post='1103716' date='Jan 26 2011, 02:28 PM']Hi Conan Thanks for the interest but it's not really what I'm after. All the best mate. Andy[/quote] No worries. Shy bairns get nowt! Lovely bass you've got there BTW!

    Would a Cort Curbow fretted 5 in black float your boat? With cash in your direction of course.... Like this one.

    [quote name='lojo' post='1102172' date='Jan 25 2011, 02:25 PM']Its maybe all do goody to boycott the said sweet shop output...[/quote] Aaaw, do I have to? I do like a quarter of midget gems every now and then....

    [quote name='Bilbo' post='1100863' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:44 PM']One diet coke lasts me all night and, yes, I have a bladder like a Blue Whale.[/quote] At least you don't have a foreskin like a Blue Whale. That would be a major drawback...

    [quote name='lemmywinks' post='1100872' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:49 PM']It's £90 in that shop though, can easy bag a better bass on eBay for that.[/quote] You reckon? Without even playing one you know that it would be rubbish?

    [quote name='tom1946' post='1100874' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:50 PM']Well I just ordered one from our local SR. Be here by the weekend so I'll report back.[/quote] Looking forward to that Tom! The wood in the neck and body alone have to be worth sixty quid!

    [quote name='neepheid' post='1100851' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:37 PM']If it's reasonably well put together then am I the only one struggling to see the down side here?[/quote] Hard to say without playing one.... It certainly looks OK as a starter bass/mod project. I suspect that large headstock might make it a bit neck heavy. Just has a better look... it's half the original price. Alder body and maple neck!!! For sixty quid?!?!

    [quote name='Bilbo' post='1100838' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:30 PM']I find intervals pointless.[/quote] Either you drink less beer than I do, or your bladder is stronger!!

    "The LB-30 Little Bastard Drophead 15H Combo will be around [i]£1350 [/i][b][/b]putting it in the right kind of range for most working bassists." I don't bloody think so!! Is that a standard Ashdown speaker in there?

    [quote name='RichardH' post='1100819' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:20 PM']Interesting. Did you put the Eminences in? If so, how did it change the sound compared to the Celestions?[/quote] I was going to ask a similar question. I don't know much about speaker manufacturers, but would this be considered as an 'upgrade' or simply a like-for-like swap?

    [quote name='tauzero' post='1100777' date='Jan 24 2011, 01:49 PM']I imagine I'd be hung drawn and quartered by certain BC members for what I did to my 1970s P - Di Marzio pickup, homebuilt active preamp (with attendant routing under scratchplate) and modified scratchplate with a brass control plate section equivalent to the chrome section of a Jazz.[/quote] I suspect you're right! But did it sound/play better?

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1100801' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:13 PM']A common-or-garden pub gig round these parts is 2x45s.[/quote] Yup. Some pubs even have a curfew at the end of the night, so if you think you might be going to go down well, it's worth starting a bit earlier... Does that make sense?

    I see a blue bass and I want to paint it black....
  22. Conan
    Isn't This Called 'Sentence Case'?

    [quote name='simon1964' post='1100510' date='Jan 24 2011, 10:25 AM']Yep [/quote]
  24. Conan
    [quote name='simon1964' post='1100481' date='Jan 24 2011, 10:00 AM']for the price it went for you could budget for a refin (black would look good), and have a decent bass there.[/quote] So it's [i]not[/i] a decent bass if it's blue - but painting it black would make it decent?
  25. Conan
    Interesting how little repetition there is on this thread... Just a thought!
