[quote name='MB1' post='1245555' date='May 26 2011, 01:23 PM']MB1. That sounds like an auction? Forum rules state you must add a price! and its usually "First come first served "(whoever pms and offers to buy first!) All PMs have dates and times on them when they were sent so you should be able to find the first one.[/quote] I don't think it's an auction as that would imply offer and counter offer until the market price was reached (there is a guide price in the sub-heading by the way). I do accept it is like sealed bid tender though. If the forum rules stipulate first offer wins then if somebody PMs me with a silly offer I'd be bound to accept it. Looking at some of the other For Sale threads you can see the negotiating happening right in front of you. I'll have another read of the rules though -
I've heard very good things about Wizard pups too...

Hi all Thanks for the multiple PMs people to which I will be replying individually in a second or two. I have been quite taken aback and am most grateful for the level of interest so for the moment I'll postpone the ebay listing as I'd rather sell it here tbh. Yes, it's still available and I will accept most payment methods so long as people understand that some methods will involve a short delay before posting. I would like to make this as fair as possible so don't really want to do a "I've had such and such an offer, can you beat it?" type thing, so how about if you are interested PM you're best offer and I'll take the highest one received by 10pm on Sunday? Does that sound fair?

Hi all I'm about to put this on evil-bay (tonight), but thought I'd put a message on here in case anybody is interested. It's been used for band practice to capture those "magical moments" when somebody plays a good riff and we all stop and say "play that again.." followed by muttering and scatching of heads. It's only being sold 'cause one of the band received a shiny new one for his birthday recently. The item is in good condition and it in the original box with instruction, mains adapter, pouch etc and I'll include the 128MB media card. Not sure about price but the ones on evil-bay go for c. £40 + P&P so offers around that would be well received, all proceeds going to fund our upcoming studio session so please give generously. I'll add an image when I get home tonight. Please add a post or PM me if you have any questions.

Definitely when I manage to play my fretless in tune throughout a whole song Other than that I'm torn between a chorus pedal and an octave pedal

Tricky... Spector Legend 4 - Mid range "US" bass made in the far east so highly reliable - Toyota Camry? Yamaha RBX270F/L but modified - Pimped up Honda Civic? Overwater Aspiration Contemp. Jazz - How about a Porsche Boxster (if a Jazz=911 per the above posts)?

I have a reasonable amount of spinal issues following 30 yrs of rugby at a a decent standard. My physio has sorted out a number of different stretching and pressure relief exercises to help me and my symptoms so I would recommend finding a good one near you.

As per the title really. We've done all the introductory stuff and could sell the required number of tickets but it's a bit of a hike and the prescribed backline seems a bit limited. As far as I can detect you have no idea where you'll be on the bill either. As we're definitely not in it for the £££/fame/wives/drug rehab. etc. etc. is it worth it? It's not even the real Cavern for that matter!

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1204197' date='Apr 18 2011, 09:55 PM']Agreed, top chaps at the Bass Merchant.[/quote] +1 I bought my Aspiration from them and I thought they we very patient with me
-
I haven't tried out a bass before buying it since the late 90's!!!
ead replied to kevin_lindsay's topic in General Discussion
I've tried all the instruments I've purchased with on exception, the OW Aspiration that I have just acquired. And a fantastic bass it is too! -
[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1196930' date='Apr 12 2011, 03:21 PM']Burns Weill Superstreamline. What a beauty. [/quote] I'm not sure I play well enough to get away with a bass looking like that, I'm afraid it's not doing it for me Still, the first Fender Jazz basses appeared in 1960 (I think) so will need to persuade Mrs ead to do more shifts...

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1196522' date='Apr 12 2011, 08:55 AM']Does it have to be a Fender? You could probably get something British or German for less stupid money.[/quote] Oooh interesting ...I am clearly much mistaken in thinking it was pretty much Fender/Gibson/Rickenbacker in 1960. Can you give me a few pointers please?

[quote name='lapolpora' post='1196420' date='Apr 12 2011, 12:45 AM']They've got a '58 Precision in slightly less mint condition for $16500, and a mint '63 Jazz for $25000![/quote] There go any plans to acquire a bass from the year of my birth (per another thread) ...unless Sue Ryder released any earlier models...

Voted; good luck, or should theat be "break a leg"?

[quote name='Machines' post='1194786' date='Apr 10 2011, 05:16 PM']...All of their instruments have codenumbers instead of names, this for me can make them a little sterile in character. Of course there's plenty of other manufacturers doing the same thing, but I think Yamaha could do with giving their instruments some more inspiring names to help with the image. It's the same with a lot of Japanese sports bikes/cars... GT-R, 370Z, MX-5, YZF, CBR, GSR etc... all soulless.[/quote] But some of the Japanes cars that have been "named" have very weird ones that I'm not always sure are to the benefit of the the product They give the bikes quite cool names though. I own a modest RBX270 fretless that I think is great, although I have swapped the pups and rewired the standard VBT to VVT. Oh, and I swapped the bridge as I'm not a fan of BBOT things that Fender use (and others feel they have to copy for some bizarre reason).

Just finished it - great book. On to the next recipient.... Anybidy else want to sign on the list for it?
-
I think the widely accepted formula for kit is: y = n + 1 where y = the ideal amount of stuff and n = the amount of stuff you currently own.

I see the Aspiration stockist/dealer list is now on the OW site. [url="http://www.overwaterbasses.com/ow_tanglewood/owtan-dealers.html"]http://www.overwaterbasses.com/ow_tanglewo...an-dealers.html[/url]

Thanks Tom Tom, I'll investigate that too!
-
Cheers Muzz, sounds great, I'll look into it. Just out of interest what are they charging rates wise?
-
The band are wanting to get a few songs professionally recorded and so we are on the hunt for a studio in the northwest (preferably Lancashire). Does anybody have any experiences good or bad to share please?
-
One of the band has a Tascam DR (i think) 5 that produces excellent results. Since it's now superceded they should be within your proce bracket.
-
Can I still be called "an alternative to a bass guitarist" even if I play a 4-string tuned to EADG
-
I manage to get up to the 16th fret on the G string after which I get nose bleeds.
