Simple. Get oldgit to go around and have a look.

She has a decent enough voice to make it on her own.

Weird, just weird.

Does anyone on here play with a metal pick? must play havoc with the s/plate. not to mention the strings!.

[quote name='Eight' post='537777' date='Jul 11 2009, 11:05 AM']Yeah that's pretty common. What you need to do is arrange a named day for delivery with the seller, and make it one when the missus isn't in. After delivery you take it (and all packaging) out to the car and transport it to your safe place. [/quote] Sounds like your speaking from experience.

[quote name='Eight' post='537491' date='Jul 10 2009, 08:57 PM']You can send it to my house. [/quote] what turned out to be sort of a joke is not funny, the seller refused to send anywhere but my address. Saying he;s got got more protection as a seller and if anything goes wrong then he's not covered through paypal. . Fairynuff.

Welcome to Basschat billbern, our resident welcomer does not appear to be here at the moment, having her hair or nails done or something. we have a gear porn section here so post some photos if you can.

[quote name='completecontrol' post='537517' date='Jul 10 2009, 09:36 PM']Ive got an Epi T bass. I hate the thing. Yes it does look cool but the neck will never stay straight, the pickups are woolly and indistinct and ive had to place some plastic under the E string to keep it at a height to prevent fret buzz on every fret. It's been set up and re setup but its never been right. It's now gathering dust in the spare room. Having said all that I did have a look at the T bird pro. They look fit. I hope the gibbo corporation have sorted the quality issues.[/quote] I Hope the Tokai are are better build than the Epiphone. I will give it a go and if i dont like it i'll try and shift it on ebay. There are are a few sites showing how to move the strap nut including a thread on basschat.

[quote name='Eight' post='537491' date='Jul 10 2009, 08:57 PM']You can send it to my house. [/quote] Congratulations, you are the first.

I keep a rollo in mine. for emergency rations.

[quote name='Clarky' post='537019' date='Jul 10 2009, 09:02 AM']There's a v cheap 2nd hand Tokai T'bird on eBay which also comes with a hard case (albeit the latter is described as shabby) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-Thunderbird-Bass-Korean_W0QQitemZ150356419914QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item2301f0e54a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-Thunderbird-Ba...%3A1%7C294%3A50[/url][/quote] Thanks Clarky, i might make him an offer. although it has twenty two days to go and i don't really want to hang about. [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]
