Ours has no idea about instruments (she was gobsmacked when I hammered-on a note, she didn't know you could do notes with only one hand...). But she can sing. I think people who can sing are worth training how to use the kit. Good voices are rare. That's probably no help at all. :/

Just bought Chay's nice old Ibanez Roadstar. He deserves an award for rapid takedown and good repacking in the face of inappropriate cars A good transaction, a conscientious and thoughtful seller. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks!.

that's a radical pickup angle ;D

... or any kind of money. Frankly, they'd have to pay me to take it away...

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1358582417' post='1941596'] I will have one with me from the impoverished (and undead) side of the family, a resurrected BB450 [/quote] Is that the one I gave to Roland Rock? I'd be pleased to know it's back together, and glad someone could do something with it.

I bought Simon's FrankenJazz. Easy transaction, good communications, good packing. Nice guy, as well. Deal with confidence. thanks Mike

welcome

welcome once again to the ill behaviour

yowsa! Welcome aboard. My sister lives in Bristol, are you gigging much? I'd love to be playing that sort of thing

what KiOgon said

Two things, for me: flexibility, and the lovely noise - especially from a P-style pup. Flexibility because it can do anything a fretted can (though it's quite a bit harder, for, say, tapping), plus slides, trapping harmonics, etc.. (Not that I personally can do these things, you understand ) Practicing on fretless improves my fretted intonation, BTW. I recommend the Yamaha RBX200F as a starter, if your defret goes badly. (Also the unlined board can look very very cool, if that floats your boat. Example: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165919-veillette-paris-fretless-4-price-reduced-again-l1200/page__hl__veillette%20paris"]http://basschat.co.u...illette%20paris[/url] . And I don't even like blue basses... )

I looked at it and saw this: "[size="4"][color="red"]found this on the web, I can not say if it is for this guitar or not, but it looks very close.[/color][/size]" So, seller has a near-new bass, has a guitar shop, but doesn't know if this is the right description? Either he can't read, or he can't write. No sale.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1357076740' post='1917308'] Yes. I can believe that. All his best stuff was done in the '70s. Don't know how the 'Antmusic' and subsequent 'highwayman' thing came about, I suspect it was something they agreed to do to increase their appeal. [/quote] I seem to remember that nice Mr McLaren had something to do with all that?

I have a used Hohner Professional 5-string which is very nice (thanks Geoff . If you can find one, they seem to go for about £200.
