    It looks as though I'll be packaging this one up for it's new owner tonight. It has been a fine experience, though nothing excites like a new toy!

    This is now provisionally gone, pending a trade this week. Updates to follow...
  3. Chris2112
    Bump, this could be traded next week, we shall see...

    As for Sandberg, I find them pretty good. Not spectacular, but decent dependable gear and their Ken Taylor models have impressed me with some big, punchy Musicman style sounds but without the weak D and G strings.

    [quote name='Mr Fudge' timestamp='1338583774' post='1676942'] There is a great picture if you scroll down a bit of Geddy Alex, Neil and Pete Townsend at a recent event. What a great combination those 4 could be! [/quote] What would Pete Townsend add? He's got nothing to add musically and I'd hate for Rush to be sullied by associating with someone like Townsend.

    [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1338465824' post='1674957'] I do like this version, but i find it a bit messy compared to the original. MM plays great though. Garry [/quote] I think thats what I like about it, it has a busy, vibrant sound to it. It grooves a bit more than the original.

    Whilst we're on the subject of Michael Manring, marvel at this cover of Pat Metheny's 'Bright Size Life', surely the best version of the song I have ever heard.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG-qltNvjek

    Hmm, those samples sound pretty pedestrian. I was hoping for some Equilibre style stuff.

    Just remember, Anthony Jackson got turned down for a gig once because he uses a seat whilst he plays. If Anthony Jackson can be snubbed for a gig it figures that we will all be mugged off by an idiot band leader at some point.

    Tonally, I know I can always rely on Warwick Streamers and Thumbs. They just never sound out of place in any mix, in any genre or situation.

    I have had a lot of basses over the years but for me, I know I can buy a Kubicki bass and I will get on with it and enjoy it. Status are usually a safe bet too.

    Some [i]Vienna[/i] style stuff would be great, with a touch of [i]Systems of Romance[/i] thrown in. Good thing Joe Dolce didn't release an album a new album and snub Ultravox for a second time.
  13. Chris2112
    Well, that sounded absolutely crap. But then it's a crap song to start with so I never expected greatness.

    [quote name='Paulo Silva' timestamp='1337941768' post='1667652'] Hello Pete! recognize this TRB 6 ?!?!? this photos were taken after some serious restoration process and now seems it came out yesterday from factory! [/quote] That would look superb with a nice amber/orange finish.

    [i]Hyperactive[/i] by Thomas Dolby. If I could just nail that opening bass lick and then get a band to play it...
  16. Chris2112
    That blue Buzz...sloo!

    It is nice indeed. But given I only play my basses for a couple of hours a week in the house now, it seems a little frivolous to have two fretted fours, especially when I am listening to so much fretless stuff at the moment. Hence I would invite those offers for nice fretless basses...already had a very tempting one!
  18. Chris2112
    bump, I've recently had a bit of a ditty on my basses though I've not been playing them much, I would quite like a fretless and this is my fancy for this week so I would invite offers for trades of fretless as well as the other items stipulated. Chris

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1337899898' post='1667344'] I don't know if you guys can remember this - [url="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:qAkazRtFRwoJ:forum.warwick.de/10-warwick-bass/5056-80s-warwick-thumb-6-s-n-c003.html+warwick.de+forum+6+string+forum+003&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk"]http://webcache.goog...n&ct=clnk&gl=uk[/url] [/quote] That is an amazing piece of Bubinga! Jesus, what a beauty. Also, Barts on a Warwick, a match made in heaven!

    I took a few pictures of the ACG today, apologies as I had to take them in my little brother's room, which is a tip, as my basses are still at my mam and dad's house (suffice to say once I'm finished redecorating my new house my amp will be in the front room and my basses hanging on the wall). [IMG]http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv52/Baryonyx2112/ACG%20Bass%20and%20Mercedes%20S%20Class/ACGbass017.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv52/Baryonyx2112/ACG%20Bass%20and%20Mercedes%20S%20Class/ACGbass016.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv52/Baryonyx2112/ACG%20Bass%20and%20Mercedes%20S%20Class/ACGbass015.jpg[/IMG] This is just to demonstrate for another user who had enquired about the balance of the bass and how it sits. In a sense, you can see it's not really unlike a jazz bass here in that the bridge is slightly offset from your body which means it's not a stretch to the first position and it will feel fairly familiar to most bassists pretty quickly. As you can see, the neck also hangs at a handy angle and doesn't dive. I'm currently in two minds as to whether or not I want to get rid of this. A 6 string would suit me for a gig I've had an offer on, but I have been thinking of getting back to fretless playing as well. Having two fretted 4 string basses seems frivolous at the moment when I can't afford to indulge my main passion (cars) because of buying a house. To that end, I certainly can't go spending more money on another bass. But I shall keep the advert up and see what comes along. Anyone with a 6 string or a fretless who fancies a trade, give me a shout.

    bump
  22. Chris2112
    Was it good?
  23. Chris2112
    I think the only difference was that the Empathy came with a mid control, a circuit which later popped up in the Stealth basses? Although the Empathy was supposed to be a deluxe version, as evidenced in the wood choices etc etc.
  24. Chris2112
    No, and I've been at it for ten years!
  25. Chris2112
    I would change the preamp first mate, MEC's are pretty good pickups! Plus with a Tonepump bass you'll be used to effortless grunt from the bass preamp. Mind you, of all the NS basses I've played over the years (Spector and Warwick), my Ltd Edition 1990 Streamer is still the best of the lot. What a f***ing corker that bass is!
