Mate, I feel your pain. Ive been saving up in small increments coz that's all ive been able to afford for a new bass and the other night my van sh*t its own gearbox out so guess where the money is gonna have to come from to pay for that? gutted

I didn't

Even though I've spent most of my life in cities, I now live just outside Lyme Regis, where fire is still viewed with some suspicion. Subsequently, it has come as a little bit of a culture shock to find that there are precisely no decent sized musical instrument emporiums within a few miles radius that I can just walk into and release some pent up gas. As you may imagine, I am quite sizeable by now, and am in need of some relief. In my wisdom, I have decided that next week I shall take a day off work and go trawl around and lick as many juicy basses as possible, but not being locally born and bred, I need to ask for a little help in finding such purveyors of fine woodwork. So far, after a look-see on t'interweb I have found 3 shops in Exeter, namely Musicroom, Mansons and Project Music, and one in Taunton, Hartnoll Guitars. Can you lot recommend any more please Chahs

That's cracking mate, nice one!

Mick Karn did play some stuff fro Kate Bush yes. Not sure about Gilmour playing fretless tho. My personal fave bass player of Kates is John Giblin, his fretless work is just sublime, a joy to (try and) play. As for kate being a bass player, I hope not

Im not a Fender man by any stretch of whatever you want to stretch, but that is rather lovely. **goes off to stretch something***

Chronicles of the Black Sword one of my most favourite albums ever

Guitarists eh? sheesh Hiow familiar does the following sound to you guys? I was in a band....well the beginnings of one years back where the guitarist had written a tune. Fairly simple but nice in its own right. "Can you put some bass to it?" So I write a line that fits behind the guitar line nicely IMHO and has a few little incidentals to sauce up his melody line. "Ooh that sounds good" and he starts playing my line. Grrr. "Ok" thinks I and writes another line to go behind what was my bassline but is now his guitar line. And feck me with a shovel, he does it again. Im no longer in that band

At the end of the day, theres so much to choose from. Quite prolific little space trolls, werent/arent they? Tho ASAM not one of my faves, its still in my collection. "....fell onto the carpet, crawled across the floor, up on my shelf, inside my piggy bank, and............stole my stash." "STOLE MY STASH!!!!"

Hi, well done for sticking around. This place will delight you and frustrate you in equal and sometimes unequal measure. It does me anyhow Kind of like my wife really. Tho why would my wife be delighting you? I think you me an explanation good sir. And possibly child maintenance. I am undone

[quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1367096469' post='2061348'] Deb :-D Having been in my Band for over 6 months with no singer, no gigs and just 2 garage practices, I think I can fit in another :-D [/quote] Lol, I have apparently been in a band for almost a year and I havent even met all of the other band members yet

Tho Ive never seen it in the flesh, I think the most beautiful bass i have ever seen is Big Red X's stunning Sei offset Flamboyant. If you are ever in the need of another left nadger Big red X, i gladly would trade mine for it

Honestly, youre so vain......Ill bet you think etc

[quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1365536658' post='2040925'] absolutely love tony levins stuff, what a player... so yeah the bass is now a lined fretless and running through a few paul young and peter gabriel numbers cracking stuff! [/quote] Jeez, that was quick!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1365421622' post='2039218'] You'd explode at the speed of light! [/quote] I suspected it might be something like this......or worse

I used to use a Samson Concert 4, my band had a coupleof songs in low A and I never had a problem. Ive still got it, and would love to be able to use it, but i dont think I can, is that right? What would happen if I did?

While there is a thread going for little things that we cant figure out, can someone please explain the purpose of a ramp, coz I cant get my head round them? Also, Why Does it Hurt When I Pee?
