For £30 you can't go wrong.

I've never seen one,although I'd imagine there's more than 2 in the world! If you ever want to get rid of it,I'll have it..

I would be there,but I have a mate's 50th birthday do to attend.Good venue,but be warned there's no stage and it's a fairly small room..

[quote name='janmaat' post='1373917' date='Sep 14 2011, 11:34 PM']We already have a popular thread posting photos of ourselves, but frequently there seem to be more interest in the singer / front man/woman of the band then in the bass player... so why not, please post a pic of your front person - would be fun.[/quote] No it wouldnt. He's ugly.

[quote name='deepbass5' post='1373888' date='Sep 14 2011, 10:59 PM']Price may give it away[/quote] Agreed.If you want SM 58's, buy them from an established dealer.

Haven't seen Tom on here for a while,and completely forgot to leave feedback..Purchased his Trace Elliot combo a while back,Top bloke,didn't complain about my driving either.A+.

Bought some P bass ashtrays a while ago ( completely forgot the feedback,sorry!) All well and good,didn't even complain about me sending a dr*mmer to pick them up..A+.

[quote name='silddx' post='1373372' date='Sep 14 2011, 04:18 PM'] And an Ampeg SVT through an 8x10 doesn't look like this .. [/quote] It's got a guitarist stuck to it!

[quote name='Big_Stu' post='1373356' date='Sep 14 2011, 04:02 PM']This one? ....... and this is what it sounds like. [/quote] Oh my....

Pretty much..Unfortunately he didn't know what sort of desk it was.

The correct answer is of course,Jason Newstead. And it's an age thing,they'll grow out of it.

[quote name='Shaggy' post='1081364' date='Jan 7 2011, 07:06 PM']Some iconic players have played them though - my favourite would have to the great Jim Lea of Slade (or was his a John Birch "copy"?)[/quote] Still the only bassist I've ever seen using a tremelo arm. My first bass was a Kay EB copy.It was (still is) vile.

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' post='1373299' date='Sep 14 2011, 02:55 PM']Just out of curiosity, having a bass set up like his you'll get the E and A strings pickup closer to the bridge than the D and G strings pickup, [i]a la[/i] Sandberg! I'm very curious as to the sound of this particular bass...[/quote] Yamaha used to do this pickup arrangement.It didn't catch on,though - ahem - in theory it should give a more balanced tone.JJ Burnel used one on The Raven.

[quote name='Mog' post='1373060' date='Sep 14 2011, 11:56 AM']Same thing with a POD. Why bother with expensive amps when you can get a fairly realistic reproduction for less than the price of a half dozen EL34's.[/quote] It may sound like an Ampeg SVT through an 8x10,but it doesn't look like one..

[quote name='bassman7755' post='1373062' date='Sep 14 2011, 11:58 AM']What him and people like him cant get thier heads round is that the "classic" recorded sounds they are trying to recreate are often as much a product of the sound engineering as they are of the guitar/bass and amp.[/quote] Spot on.I was guilty of this in the 80's trying to emulate Steve Severin's (Souxsie and the Banshees,for the youngsters..) sound on their Juju album.Acoustic 220 guitar head,8x10,1x15 W bin,chorus,bit of reverb. When I spoke to him about it,he said "Musicman Stingray straight into the desk".

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1372552' date='Sep 13 2011, 09:24 PM']I'm currently building a right hander with a lefty neck which will be strung BEAD to test the theories of string tension and scale.[/quote] Can I have the neck when you've finished the test? They're not that common....I believe there is a difference in string tension although I can't say I noticed any appreciable difference when I had a right handed neck on a lefty.

I'd rather talk about gear than talk about scales.

Say yes,and turn up with a 15w practice amp.

I spent several years taking a time out from life in general with a spinal injury. The one good bit of advice I had from a guitar playing chyropractor was don't stand still.And get someone else to move the kit for me..

Boss DR660 here.
