[quote name='lojo' post='987129' date='Oct 13 2010, 04:44 PM']thought it was a thread on the chuck mangione song Good stuff, I came out of retirement a few years back, it does feel good, also learning covers is so much easier now with you tube, i tunes and the odd tab search to point the way if needed (yes I know before one of you readers slaps my hands) Hope you enjoy the return as much as I have[/quote] o tell me about it ,no youtube last time round so had to spend hours picking out bits you could hear of f the track (vinyl or cassett )or trawling the music shops in brum to find the sheet music !

well after many years of not being in a band i have been asked to join a local outfit and i think its come just at the right time for me as really want to get out gigging again . They are all set to go as well as there bass player left ,all i need to do now is learn the set be good to be out and about again!

everyone i click on it says its been removed due to violation.grrr

wow thanks mep thats really helpful and thanks dan for the offer .

This is driving me bonkers as trying to learn it but having no luck ,any tabs i find do not make any sense to me as need words along side or i get lost and no body has posted a bass version on tube yet so if any one can help will be very greatful.

Great stuff ,enjoyed what i heard keep up the good work .

Great idea ,never even knew these things existed!

Looks great ,glad you got it sorted out.

Hi all i recently bought this bass as had wanted one for ages but it has a problem when its switched to active mode it distorts really bad ,my local amp repaire guy has had a look at it and cant do much as he thinks the problem is in one of the componets that are incased in a hard black resin to stop you getting into it i spose! anyone got any ideas on where i go next with this? it sounds fine in pasive mode but would like to get the active sorted out really .

Hey steve i think these are a work of art too mate and have just bought myself an 83 model in poduk finish and am loving it to bits , and am cracking out the jt bass lines but nothing new there really as i do a bit in a duran tribute band from time to time.

[quote name='bassatnight' post='804655' date='Apr 13 2010, 10:44 AM']Hi Folks, I have just noticed that the cost of an Aria SB1000ri has dropped from £1600 to £895 looks like sense has finally prevalied! They are lovely basses anyone tried one of the reissue models? Cheers, Steve.[/quote] not tried any reiseues but just bought a 1983 model and loving it .

This whole debate reminds me of my vw days when i had a splitty,and on the various forums there was always a difference of opinion on new resprayed or just well looked after beetles and buses and the old beat up rat look ones . some people would take a nice shinny paint job and rub the hell out of it to make it look 30 years old!

Good luck with it all fella,i have an aria pro sb 1000 which i have won on e bay turning up on friday and was feeling pretty nervous about it but after reading your thread am now bricking it! lol

hello and welcome ,seems to me alot of us start playing at 15 inc myself !

Following on from the songs you have to play thread but on the other side of the coin what are the songs that you never get sick of playing ? two of mine have to be londons calling by the clash and go your own way by the mac.

Cheers for all the advice guys , some really helpful stuff in there. well i have taken the plunge and purchased one so am well pleased, cant wait to get my hands on it now!

just looked at the price £139 quid!

B e no good for me as it wouldnt cover my beer belly ! but for some bass playing person of a more pleasing form this may be just the ticket!

cheers all ,good to make some new acquaintances.
