  4. [quote name='Lozz196' post='1062402' date='Dec 18 2010, 12:52 PM']May be a good bet to place an ad on here, in the Items Wanted section.[/quote] Wayy ahead of ya
  5. Thanks everyone, I made a list of a few suggestions and tried some out at my local, unfortunately he had a Fender Jaguar in... I proceeded to have a little go and was in there playing for about an hour on it - so I'm sold. I couldn't afford £750 he was offering so I'm still gonna wait for a second hand one, but it looks like I'll be crawling under a rock and checking the market place 5 times a day until one shows up!
  6. [quote name='Rich' post='1056031' date='Dec 12 2010, 02:09 PM']If you fancy something with a Sting-esque tone... you could do worse than [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STATUS-Groove-BASS-Guitar-4-string-hard-case-/220708584472?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item336341bc18"]this[/url] or [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ibanez-ATK300-Bass-Guitar-Natural-/150469784003?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2308b2b1c3"]this[/url].[/quote] I've always had the ATK in mind as being a good bass, my problem is I am also very much swayed by looks - and you gotta love the looks of classic Fenders and 'Rays - but as with everything I'll check them both out and they'll most likely grow on me
  7. Do you go new or used in this situation. I can't afford a brand new Fender Jaguar or Jazz, nor can I afford a brand new Stingray or Sterling. So, do I go for their its-just-as-good-for-you-guys-who-can't-afford-a-real-one range or do I buy a used 'real' bass? I think the latter is probably the better idea, but then which bass? I've narrowed it down to: Fender Jaguar Fender Jazz (MIJ/M) Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$ Anything Musicman that finds itself straying helplessly into the <£400 price bracket. Thunderbird What else is worth the cash, and which is best? (Need something with a very variable tone - as I play pretty much anything that I think sounds awesome)
  8. Please, do you even know somebody who wants one, anything, anyone, I'm desperate!! My heart squirms for a Fender

  10. Bump - Trades? Amps, Basses, Guitars, Drum kits, Keyboards, Pets (Preferably Cats), Aircraft, Crop Circle information, Lamps and Vegetation accepted.
  11. Need this gone really - I'll probably put it in the local classifieds if nobody fancies it. [s]I'll be putting up a Yamaha Pacifica Electric Guitar soon too, if your interested drop me a PM I'll show you some pics - otherwise I'll whack it on here in a week or two[/s]
  12. I swear if I just had some god damn money. I real feel for you - Why the hell aint this beaut selling? Everyone is offering bumps, nobody's offering the cash, sorry pal :/
  13. No Sax players? Nobody want to start? I'd'av thought a band might be missing some breathy jazz in this day and age!! Bump
  14. Yup, the Amp wasn't really the offender here - just the Jack, but I want a new big-ass amp amyway so I'm just making excuses for myself
  15. £20 amp + 20p 3.5mm to 1/4" converter = 1 Hour of stress. [size=1]Beginning of Rant[/size] [font="Tahoma"]Thought I'd whack in my headphones for a little sesh, after about 30 mins, amp off, cable out, headphones out. Although the end piece of the headphone adapter is no where to be seen, lets call it the 'Tip'. and so, I look inside and there you can nicely see how the tip is at the very back of the socket, and is being trapped in by, not one, not two, but [b]3[/b] little metal bitches. As you do, I began fishing about with a 3.5mm jack, then a thin screwdriver - to no avail. What next, unscrew the back cover (4 Screws) the top cover (4 Screws) and the circuit board cover (4 Screws) awesome fun aye? Unscrewing 12 rusty screws. Then we are met with the culprit, the jack socket itself with the 3 deadly metal spring loaded stoppers of hell. No exaggeration. So some twiddling and tweaking with a torch, stanley knife blade and 2 screwdrivers (not to mention the help of an unwilling brother) later and the little tip was free. My Amp finally recognised that there wasn't a headphone jack in there and practise resumed. I should stop cutting corners. Tesco value battery was my last problem and this time is was a pathetic converter. And before you ask - yes, I have ordered a nice expensive new converter and have about 7 Duracell 9V's in a little box. Still finding out which Ampeg I should get next so this amp can be thrown off a cliff. With force. And a sizeable grin. [/font] [size=1]End of Rant[/size]
  16. [s]Just make me an offer of any money, I'll really consider it! I'm dying for a Fender. I'm selling my Elkhart alto saxophone, santa gave it to me last year - but my mum says he got it from Dawson's so it cost [u]£635 2 Years ago![/u] [url="http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/info_00032547.html"]http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/info_00032547.html[/url] I don't play sax, my mum wanted me to start because she liked sax, but I never got around to it and now she's bought herself one anyway so this one can go! [b]Now accepting trades - What have you got? Offer anything!![/b] [size=1]Thanks for the offers TheGreek![/size] I'm looking for a sale, asap, so I'm gonna put it on for [b]£300 ONO[/b] I just got it valued by a local music shop at £375 but they offered me way less for it because of business rates. - It comes in a Vincent Bach/Elkhart hard case with a strap and 1 reed. At first I wondered why it didn't work - turns out the little pieces of cork behind the buttons must come out if it is to be used, so I took all of them out and had a 10 minute play of which I learnt 'Pretty Woman', realised sax wasn't for me and put it back in the case and it's been under in the corner of my room for 10 months. [b]As I mentioned I'm open to offers, of anything. Money, Basses, GAS or a nice mixture of all of 'em![/b] Some are Blurry, but they all get across the point, this didn't even have a fingerprint on it when I picked it up - and I've made sure there are none on now! [/s] Thanks BCers, but unfortunately sold elsewhere!
  17. I used to use a piece of electrical tape, wrapped up to quite a thickness, and cut into what shape you like - no clickedy click sounds, but I still prefer the sound of your fingers, but they were pretty good for me! Plus you can use loads of different colours! If you like them, PM me please - I might show off a few of mine
