[quote name='grayn' post='1076457' date='Jan 3 2011, 04:46 PM']I suspect this has been done before (more than once, probably) But I thought I'd give newbies, like myself , a chance to say who inspired them to take up the bass. 1. CHRIS SQUIRE (Yes): Inspired me to get a Rickenbacker, in my teens. A dynamic, ensemble player. 2. MARTIN TURNER (Wishbone Ash): A solid player with a sense of the dramatic and melodic. 3. PAUL McCARTNEY: In his mid-late beatles days, he wrote some great bass-lines. Counter-melodic and great song enhancers, too. 4. DANNY THOMPSON (Pentangle): Master double bassist, who played with many of my favourites, Nick Drake, David Sylvian, John Martyn etc. 5. TONY LEVIN (King Crimson): A real entertainer and gifted bassist, who has played with many of the greats. [/quote] 1.Me 2.ME 3.ME mE 4. ME ME ME 5.MOI>>>!

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1072888' date='Dec 30 2010, 04:59 PM']It's ugly, but other than that, so what? A 1972 Fender Jazz was of absolutely zero consequence in 1973, no-one would have thought twice about customising one. Chances are if this one hadn't been modified, it would have ended up chucked in a skip, presumably like 75% of all the other 1972 Fender Js. Jon.[/quote] And that skip will hopefully end up at my tip.....god bless spring cleaning???? Happy new year BA and all at BC

[quote name='heavyrockerbass' post='1069315' date='Dec 25 2010, 08:06 PM']I'm looking to upgrade my bass amp, as I currently have the Marshall MB30, and while this is a decent little practice amp and it has faired me well! I would like to upgrade it to something with a little more power and versatility. I'm on a fairly tight budget being a student! One amp which caught my eye was the Behringer Ultrabass BXL1800A, does anybody know if this is a good investment? I would preferably like to buy new, but if you know any good places to look for 2nd hand except the obvious eBay! and any amp with similar stats to the behringer; 100W-200W, (preferably with some sort of distortion effect but that isn't a must have as I can get a pedal!) would be perfect. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance![/quote] Roland DB700 in lovely condition £200 collected with cover...cant be a cheaper quality amp on here???? can there??? Merry crimbo

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='1064867' date='Dec 20 2010, 06:07 PM']I ask only because they've approached us about sponsorship and say they've been getting a lot of traffic from Basschat. I'm really curious to know why, I can't see any obvious connection.[/quote] I use their services frequently.....Best price in the Southeast......Birmingham can realise a few p more per gramme if you are very lucky......no commission on their prices stated...CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THEYD BE GETTING A LOT OF HITS VIA BC THOUGH?????

[quote name='spinynorman' post='1041431' date='Nov 29 2010, 05:40 PM']If you're selling a bass as "rare", always look to see what all the other sellers have started theirs at over the last couple of weeks (and not sold) and price yours at least 15% higher. (I submit as best practice this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Precision-Slab-Body-1951-Bass-Re-Issue-inc-case-/220701103655"]rare 51 RI P [/url], which has been up previously at £749, and joins 3 others in the last 2 weeks, all priced over £500 and none sold.) Another tip, if you "know nothing about guitars" it excuses you for being a lying scumbag.[/quote] I couldnt get £550 on the same bass,in virtually as new condition....must see wot happens on the bay

[quote name='nick' post='1041573' date='Nov 29 2010, 08:04 PM']Is it 34" scale & at a sensible price? [/quote] I think these come in around 32" medium scale bridge to nutt but will check once its brought round this evening,price is £275...currently has Flats on and sounds half decent,plays very well
