[quote name='hatori' post='537140' date='Jul 10 2009, 12:03 PM']Cetera has an old Epiphone Goth that I was going to buy for a Fenderbird project but sadly I had to shoot through due to home strife. Why not give him a buzz. All the best on your quest.[/quote] Thanks but i guess that's black! looking for a burst or even white. goth's not my thing.

I'm looking to buy a Thunderbird. a Gibson is out of the question. I have seen a Tokai on here, [url="http://www.expressmusicstore.co.uk/products.asp?code=79389"]http://www.expressmusicstore.co.uk/products.asp?code=79389[/url]. Or there's a couple on ebay. Whats the difference in build quality between the two?

Yet another Vox Standard. don't think its the one Happyjack posted.

As simon1964 says they are ok for the money. i had to sand mine down too to fit a Squier body. be prepared for a quite chunky profile also.

Nobody? guess i will have try them out then. i wonder if you can mix them, An 84 at the bridge and a Hammer on the neck.

Anyone tried them?. i have used the 84's and would have no hesitation in getting another pair but wondered how the hammers sounded. [url="http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/shop.asp?category=Bass"]http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/shop.asp?category=Bass[/url]

[quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='532547' date='Jul 4 2009, 05:59 PM']We are normally a 4 piece band doing originals with a few covers thrown in but the other two guys can't always do gigs due to family commitments so myself and the lead singer/acoustic guitarist are looking at doing a pub act at weekends. The problem we have is deciding what covers to do so basically I'm looking for ideas of covers to do that generally go down well in pubs, bearing in mind that we'll be doing them acoustically. He's got a Calling/Creed/Stained sort of voice. Obviously we have a few of those songs in our artillary already and are now looking for a few more ideas.[/quote] I think this song has already been mentioned somewere on Basschat but again Place your hands by Reef gets people going. i suppose it could be done acoustically.

Luck.don't forget to pop them into here. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7919"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7919[/url]

[quote name='MythSte' post='530939' date='Jul 2 2009, 06:54 PM']Be interested to see what you think about the differnce it makes being bi amplified and un-biamplified if you get the chance to fiddle![/quote] And how you did it.i haven't a clue.

If you have spotify try some Chris Rea, not everyone's cup of tea. but most of his stuff is easy. Stainsby girls for instance.

Sad news. i remember him posting.

Steven Segal is not Left handed his he?but it is strung for a righty.

I have seen him play a Pbass and a Jazz. he always has a great sound. i'll check out that tune thanks.

I have a thick bass strap so the Schaller ones wont fit.i wonder if these will. you cant get much cheaper than the Jim Dunlop ones, £1. [url="http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/Jim+Dunlop+Lock+Strap"]http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/Jim+Dunlop+Lock+Strap[/url]

Your the first to set up and first at the bar,

This is a cracking sound by Jet Harris.

I was on the brink of buying a Bass off Basschatter AREA who is based in Germany. one well known caarrier kept on saying it could not transport the bass and another quoted £100. i'm sure i could have got it cheaper if had stuck at it but i gave up. shame really, it was a lovely bass and AREA is a really nice guy.
