Here's mine.... A Pedulla Buzz Deluxe lined fretless (yep, it's in [i]black[/i]) And A Wal Mk1 un-lined fretless with stained maple facings...

I would give a miss to anything more than a pedal made by them....

[quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='52384' date='Aug 29 2007, 03:34 PM']Cambridge would be better, or at least a place off the M1 or A1.[/quote] But then that would almost be more of a 'Midlands Bash'...

Does anyone know if there's much difference in quality between Japanese Fenders from the mid 90's and the ones today? I've seen a mid 90's Japanese Fender P bass for under £250 and was wondering what the score was on these...

With my KISS Tribute Band 'Dressed To Kill' I've been lucky enough to share the stage and play alongside various KISS members (Bruce Kulick, Mark St John, Peter Criss & Eric Singer). I've also performed for KISS members Gene Simmons & Ace Frehley and manager Bill Aucoin. We have had some famous names attend & watch our shows as well..... including Rick Savage, Joe Elliott & Phil Collen (Def Leppard), the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Danger Danger, Terrorvision & Wolfsbane. With other bands I have been lucky enough to perform on the same bill with Jethro Tull, Paradise Lost, Saxon, Paul Young, Beverly Craven, Motorhead, Dio, Tigertailz. I have also performed for Jimmy Page.....& Rick Wright (Pink Floyd)

Agreed, they pulled an auction of mine on Day 6 (of 7!) because I mentioned in my auction (honestly) that I also had the item advertised elsewhere. Seems they'd rather penalise honest eBayers than go after scammers and rip-off merchants

[quote name='acidbass' post='51381' date='Aug 27 2007, 06:45 PM']You can buy a non-Fender bridge cover that fits over a BadAssII bridge comfortably, they used to sell it on basspartsresource.com but it appears that they don't stock it anymore. Perhaps worth investigating? I'm not sure of the manufacturer but I know they're definitely for sale out there somewhere![/quote] Thanks, will do.... If anyone else knows of the cover to which you are referring could they please let me know!

Cheers anyway chaps!

I'm considering making a few cosmetic adjustments to my lovely Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass. Does anyone know whether the typical Jazz bass 'ashtray' bridge covers (with F logo) will fit over the Badass II bridge... or is the Badass II too wide/set back too far? Any help would be appreciated and would save me buying one only to find it doesn't fit!

They're excellent stores, not only is the kit as cheap as the proverbial chips but the staff are [b]all really good and knowledgable[/b],[/quote] Wow.... that's the opposite of what they say on www.talkbass.com....

[quote name='Mickeyboro' post='50175' date='Aug 24 2007, 02:44 PM']But as far as basses go, I seem to have to go through the card! In the past year I've had CIJ Precision '51, Warwick Streamer 5, MM Sub, Epiphone Thunderbird and Archer Kasim Sulton signature.[/quote] Mick, what was the Archer bass like? From pics I've seen it looks pretty nice....

[quote name='lee4' post='47932' date='Aug 20 2007, 08:35 PM']As I am only 5'7" tall,I have trouble finding a really comfy bass to play. Surely I ca'nt be the only player with this problem? Anyone else out there suffering from an in-built height restriction?[/quote] Check out my Jackson 'Kip Winger' bass on the 'For Sale' section. Small, lightweight and powerful.....

[quote name='dood' post='39741' date='Jul 31 2007, 09:31 PM']Thought I'd take this opportunity to share my imported Jap 70's Fender P. This is a non -export model. How she arrived, looking very Phil Lynott And how she looks now, all John Deacon. Love her to bits![/quote] Sorry Dood... I can't find this bass with this colour option on Ishibashi for the price you paid. Can you point me to the right link? Thanks!

Lovely cab

Tell us more!

You could always quietly find a replacement for the 'weak link', then tell the 'weak link' that the band are splitting up. A couple of weeks later you can then 'reform' with the new member....

[quote name='subaudio' post='49582' date='Aug 23 2007, 02:47 PM']went to the bass cellar on Saturday to buy some strings for my lacky Jobo 5, after explaining at length that they need to fit a 35inch neck strung through body as they didnt stock lacky strings, got them home and gues what, they didnt even go up to the nut even when not strung through. :S £25 down the pan, they didnt give me a receipt either Serves me right for not going to the Gallery.......[/quote] Take them back, speak to the same person...... and give 'em hell.....

Brilliant stuff.....!! Haven't seen this is a while but it's on my old Billy Sheehan tuition vid... Sure, he can be flash..... but he's an incredibly solid player (with a cool tone!). He is of course aided by playing alongside Pat Torpey, who is one of the most solid drummers I've ever seen.... and he looks like David Cassidy! lol!

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='49468' date='Aug 23 2007, 12:29 PM']I think if I had to make the choice, I'd rather listen to something new played badly than something I'm familiar with being murdered.[/quote] +1

[quote name='Rich' post='49368' date='Aug 23 2007, 10:15 AM']Yes... the Bass Centre, in Wapping, circa 1986 [i]*sigh*[/i] ahhhh those were the days, my friend...[/quote] I hear you..... wonderful times....

You must be gutted!! Looking forward to hearing your review of this beasty (when it finally arrives!!!) Where did you get it from/how much?

Take a look at the Genz Benz NeoPak head and Neo1x12 Cab. Superb...

I'm 36 years old and have been playing bass for 24 years.... I'm generally a straightforward groove rock player, but I love Motown & early 70's rock melodic bass playing. My influences include everyone from Peter Cetera (early Chicago), Tiran Porter (Doobie Brothers) & Paul Goddard (Atlanta Rhythm Section)... to classics like Jamerson and McCartney.... to Guy Pratt and Bernard Edwards. All very useful for the covers & function bands! I'm mainly a pick player, but I use my digits for ballads, finger funk and Motown type stuff.... I can do basic slap, but I believe it's overused by too many people... I play 4-stringers exclusively. Tried a 5 for a while but couldn't justify having it for 5 extra notes (which I can get by tuning down or using an octaver). 6 strings and higher are for guitarists.... I love my Spectors... especially with the high mid boosted around 2K and plenty of solid low end (think Eddie Jackson of Queensryche). Been playing fretless (Wal & Pedulla) for the last 18 months and enjoying that too... Having been a player of 'active basses' for years I have recently acquired a passive Fender Geddy Lee Jazz which has fired up my GAS for another 70's Jazz (in white, with blocks & covers) and a P-Bass to put flats on... There's no end to my GAS.... only an end to wall space to hang them on
