[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1505307947' post='3370920'] I'll bring some bass related items to sell, including some jackets so you can smarten yourselves up... [/quote] Are you implying we're a scruffy bunch of gits..? -
[quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1505294111' post='3370751']There are many bands I can't stand, but calling them over-rated doesn't explain anything. It's just a way of not thinking. [/quote][quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1505295568' post='3370766']Reading through the comments here, I'd concur with Timmo and PaulWarning... it really is a kind of IMHO type of thing and certainly one man's overrated is another man's underrated. [/quote] Yes, yes. But it's a forum. We like being arseholes, mob rule and chucking stones at people for no good reason. We also like ringing doorbells then running away, fiddling with ourselves in Matalan, and throwing Maccy D wrappers from moving cars.

Simply Red for [i]sure[/i]. Also (puts on Nomex suit) ...Yes. Pretentious, over-long twaddle *runs away*.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1505238762' post='3370470'] Nearly got away with it bwahahaha [/quote] Stop it, Keith. -
[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1505222021' post='3370325'] Oooh I like that too. Good price as well! [/quote] Doesn't include shipping, unfortunately. OK if you're already buying other stuff from Thomann... which you probably aren't, given the exchange rate.

Oh God, No!! I thought we'd heard the last of it.

Wow, living in a touring van with your gear is a pretty hard-core commitment. I wouldn't have done that even as a kid!

I had one for a while, they're good bridges. Didn't like the brass inserts much but you can get steel alternatives. In theory you can adjust the string spacing with the inserts but I wasn't too convinced. Had it on my Road Worn P for a while, but in the end moved it on as I preferred the threaded-barrel BBOT fitted as stock. I've also been looking at this, though the spacing be fixed: [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_hi_mass_bridge_iv_brass.htm"]https://www.thomann....ge_iv_brass.htm[/url]

What's strange about it? Looks like a late 76 Jazz Bass to me.

[quote name='maxoges' timestamp='1505203802' post='3370115'] Spelling misstake. |-O [/quote] I know. Thanks for posting, wasn't aware of this brand.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1504716080' post='3366864'] Most of being a professional musician is your attitude. [/quote] True, and you don't have to actually be a pro to have that attitude.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1505144434' post='3369783'] Actually, I think I feel the same about them too... [/quote] So do I, but somehow it doesn't stop me from getting Jazz GAS every other year... -
[quote name='maxoges' timestamp='1504273476' post='3363844'] muck lower action. [/quote] Is that a euphemism? Very nice-looking basses.

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1505077360' post='3369364'] Just bought one of these and I'm really impressed - great core tone and a lot of tonal variation with the EQ, nice warmth - very powerful too. I payed £340 for mine from Andertons but some retailers have had them up for over £700. [/quote] Thanks for that. Retroglide GAS pressure is building...

Seems very affordable to me, especially compared with GAK's retail price. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ashdown-Retroglide-800-Digital-Bass-Amplifier-800w-/272829444412?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

I kind of like the flowers...

Thanks, that's given me a migraine.

You need another option, 'I think Barefaced cabs are great, but I currently have no rig as I'm not gigging.'

[b]*SOLD* Squier Precision Neck, Rosewood[/b][list] [*]Squier Precision Neck, Rosewood Board [*]Skunk stripe [*]Truss rod adjustment at nut [*]Nut width 42mm [*]Scale 34" [*]Heel 63/64mm [*]Heel depth 24mm including board [*]Tuner post holes 18mm [*]Thickness at first fret 20mm [*]Pearloid fret marker dots [/list] Good condition, except for a very slight ding on the E string tuner hole at the back (see pic) but you won't see this when the tuner is fitted, as it'll be covered by the backplate. Otherwise, a very straight neck, the truss rod works, the frets are good and they have years of wear on them. Don't ask me what the board radius is, I don't know. Some nice figuring on the headstock and back of the neck. Will fit standard Squier and Fender neck pockets. [b]£30[/b] via bank transfer [b]INCLUDING[/b] UK Mainland postage to your atelier. I thank you! -
You already know that open strings will be out of tune... if you never use open strings, then it's fine. Personally I use open strings quite a lot, how else are you going to pick up your pint with your left hand during a song??

I know, gutted! -
[quote name='dmdavies' timestamp='1504817658' post='3367619'] Here's mine. Bought this on here about a year ago. Loved it then, love it more now. [/quote] Like it!

Very useful! Shows iffy players that they're, er... iffy. Much better than telling them, because they won't believe you. Also a good source of new material as lots of happy accidents happen during rehearsals that you would [i]not[/i] remember otherwise. Also good for seeing what works arrangement-wise and so on. The last band I was in recorded all rehearsals and it improved the band no end. Definitely do it! Doesn't have to be complicated, I used a Zoom H1 and spent some time finding the best place for it in the room. It's surprising how good a live recording can be if everyone's on the ball. It also depends on how into it the other band members are. If you spend time listening closely to rehearsal tapes, come up with suggestions only to find that no-one else has bothered to even listen to it once, then you probably need to find another band. Which is also good to know...

It's the market riding rough-shod over basic human dignity! Welcome to 21st-century regulation-free capitalism trickle-down! ...I [i]am[/i] joking by the way, before anyone accuses me of putting on my tinfoil hat (which is away being repaired).

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1504703629' post='3366731'] I thought of that, but not sure I can listen to that in daylight! Vitamin C had with sitting here with tears in my eyes. Playing it again right now. [/quote] I know what you mean, their stuff is emotionally overwhelming. Not so much listened-to as experienced. Which is what music is, or should be.
