Stockholm Syndrome Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 That looks really cool! PM on it's way...
Veils Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 HERE ARE THE PICS!!!!! Apologies for the less than impressive quality, that's down to the fact I don't own a camera and was relying on my iphone!!
josh3184 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 sounds a bit silly but why not just use the bottom 4 strings and tune the B in tune with them... My guitarists liked D for a while so I tuned my E to that then my B to A. Admittedly twas a tad floppy but you get used to it and there are guages available for that sort of thing these days. T'would be a shame to get rid of such a beautiful bass!
Veils Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 We're currently tuned to drop Bb, they are proposing tuning drop C, which will mean either tuning GCGCF (too low) or CGCFA in which case I won't use the A so having small hands I may as well get something I can play better. I'm speccing another bass out with Jon as well! And yes, drop Bb is silly tuning, which is why the guys wanna tune up a bit more. But to add further complications, Chris has started writing with a 7 string

It's suit your instrument better, and you wouldn't really be losing anything, especially with the 5th string
Veils Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 Because if I tune a full step, then I can't hit the same open notes which is fairly necesary for me - I am sure you are aware having played with Chris yourself, he doesn't really believe in keeping things simple and letting the bass groove and believe me he really has stepped things up a notch in between TMWF and Veils
Veils Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Ok the absolute lowest I can drop is £700 for cash, but I would like something added to bump up the value of the deal such as a combo amp (obviously nothing special required) or maybe a pedal or two. Otherwise the outright cash price of £900 ono still stands. If anyone fancies it drop me a pm
