    What are the two small pieces of Gaffa tape covering on the lower front face of the power amp?

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='721766' date='Jan 22 2010, 11:32 PM']WHO? ...and your looking for this kind of band in Newcastle! A tip from a resident North Easterner; learn a bit of Thin Lizzy and Free, then Robert's your Mother's brother... you'll be a part of the NE music scene. [/quote] Don't tar us all with the same brush though... I've heard of TWO of those aforementioned bands!!! You're dead right about the Free covers though! HUNTAAAAA!!!!!

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='723378' date='Jan 24 2010, 06:26 PM']Ive always stayed away from Markbass cabs, but their new Club line seems interesting for portability.[/quote] Jesus! You've already got more gear than a reasonably-stocked music shop kidda!! You gotta stop doing this, or there'll be no gear left for the rest of us!! Oh, apart from Ampeg of course!!

    [quote name='4-string-thing' post='723116' date='Jan 24 2010, 02:13 PM']Everything I hate in bass playing, can be seen here.... Slapping, horrible tinny tone, coffee table basses with more than 4 strings, musical masturbation.[/quote] +100!!!

    The drummer has more groove in his islets of Langerhans than either of those "bass" players... And yes - that is the most horrible slap tone I have heard since about 1986 when everyone was trying to "be" Mark King and music shops sounded like typing pools. Apologies to our younger members who won't understand that last analogy!! Typewriters are what people used to write with between pens and computers...

    David Margen. Great tone. Distilled and bottled Precision... to me anyway! I ain't no Fender connoseur!

    So... with less than one minute remaining on the auction clock someone bid £150, which was the reserve price. Mixed feelings I have to admit! Pleased it's sold, but disappointed it didn't make more money... Clearly it's not a seller's market at the moment! Charla, if you'd offered me £150 cash we could have both had a great deal!! Such is life I guess.

    Thanks for posting the Julian Crampton stuff. When i was (much) younger I was massively into jazz-funk and loved Incognito, but I never knew who the bassist was. What a player! Cheers!

    [quote name='merello' post='722916' date='Jan 24 2010, 10:34 AM']So, I will have a wee ask around at Strung Out today to see if they have packaging but it looks like if anyone wants the bass, they'd have to buy the hard case too. I was not keen on doing that but if that's what it takes... How do people feel about that and does that mean I add postage plus the price of the case to the price? Thoughts? Thanks for your patience.[/quote] As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it IS possible to post the bass without the case. "Dismantling" it simply means taking the strings off and then unscrewing the four (I assume) screws/bolts that attach the neck to the body. This will reduce the size of the package and may save costs.... Anyway. My ebay auctions look like being unsuccessful again, so unless someone on here buys either of my basses I can't afford this. I'll re-phrase that: Mrs Conan won't allow me to INCREASE the number of basses I own when the whole point is to REDUCE it!! Shame, as I really like the look of this bass and as i could meet half way it would save you the problem of disassembling and packing it!!

    Don't suppose you fancy a five string? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72580"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72580[/url] Chuck in your case and I'd be happy to do a direct swap! Meet up halfway between Newcastle and Glasgow... which would be around, er - let's see.... Hexham I think?

    [quote name='merello' post='722467' date='Jan 23 2010, 07:19 PM']If anyone could tell me how to post a bass without a case... [/quote] Just had a Squier Strat ( ) posted to me by NJE.... who did a brilliant job!! Take the neck off for a start (or a strat!!). Pack both bits in plenty of cardboard, cloth, bubblewrap - whatever you have handy! Loads of tape to hold it all together... Sorry if I'm giving away your trade secrets here Nathan!!
  13. Conan
    God, I LOVE that colour!!! Great price too. I'm tempted...

    [quote name='antti' post='722451' date='Jan 23 2010, 07:03 PM']This is one hellofa bass, for sure. Amazing it hasn't gone yet. Just close your eyes and you can think you are playing some Alembic but your wallet is much happier with this one....... [/quote] I know. Makes you wanna weep doesn't it?!
  15. Conan
    That's an absolutely beautiful bass!! Good luck...

    [quote name='Kongo' post='722279' date='Jan 23 2010, 04:13 PM']That's cheap! Why isnt this gone?[/quote] I have no idea mate! Its a great bass but I just don't use it any more. But although I'm keen to pass it on, I'm not going to GIVE it away... Wrong time of year maybe? Although top-end instruments seem to be changing hands

    Weekend coming-to-the-end-of-its-ebay-auction type of bump!! Also, further price drop to £350!!!

    Is Rob Green a bass player?

    [quote name='Sean' post='720772' date='Jan 22 2010, 08:10 AM']FFS the man invented the Precision, Jazz, Stingray, Telecaster and Stratocaster! I'm sure he had a damn good reason for needing that many.[/quote] That's the answer! He's carrying his P-pen, J-pen, Ray-pen, Tele-pen and Strat-pen! They are probably worth more than the guitars themselves now! "The pen that launched a million...." etc, etc.

    [quote name='Beedster' post='720481' date='Jan 21 2010, 08:19 PM']I can't help thinking we should all now leave it alone. Both parties have said their thing and it's up to them to sort it out between themselves. The feedback will I guess stand or be retracted on the basis of the outcome. I'm sure we all have an opinion based on the above posts, but I can't help thinking any further expression of those will only make a resolution between the two guys concerned more problematic.[/quote] Wise words. Airing dirty laundry in public rarely gets the result you wish for...

    Feedback for NJE

    Conan replied to Bigwan's topic in Feedback

    Nathan was the first BassChatter I had the pleasure of dealing with. With over 300 miles between us, obviously all the communication was by PM or phone! Deal was done with no fuss at all and the "six string piccolo bass" arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. Result: one very happy teenager and a very satisfied dad! Great guy to deal with and boy does he know his packaging!! It would have survived a tactical nuclear hit!!! Thanks mate. Geoff.

    [quote name='Golchen' post='720266' date='Jan 21 2010, 04:28 PM']That would be a great gig if one was up to it. I can't think of a tribute band I'd rather be in.[/quote] Me neither! Just makes you realise how talented the original Mr Weinrib is... Then again, it does say "Geddy Lee wanted"... so you may as well aim high!. I think he's busy at the moment though!

    Camel. By Camel. I added the second comment just in case any other band has recorded an album entitled "Camel"!! As if.
