You can't buy the tone you're seeking..it's in the fingers/thumb/muting, etc..it will get to the point where you have a "sound" whatever Bass you're playing..

If you are serious about learning to slap try here:

As well as learning existing slap basslines I like to visit the site below for ideas and inspiration..I use parts of some of the riffs to build other riffs..BTW MarloweDK is a god!!

I've got to say that KS looks beautiful - and at a very reasonable price..thankfully I don't need one otherwise I'd be several hundreds of pounds less solvent..good luck with the sale...

And there was me last night, thinking about the GA24 I once missed out on.....arrghhh!!!

Just out of interest, what are the differences sonically?

Not a great deal...I believe that they have the same electronics..I'm sure that somebody will be along shortly to correct me..

I've got something waiting in the wings so I'm having a bit of a purge - up for grabs is my Jaydee 1987 Supernatural Roadie 11a.

The Roadie is in excellent condition with a couple of nicks in the lacquer. It was recently serviced by John at the same time he fitted a second p/up. I've posted some photos here but there are more in my Gear Porn thread. I'm in the Mid-Herts area if anybody is interested in a try before you buy..

Price: I am open to (sensible) offers in the region of £800 for the Roadie.







Please note that the GA24 is sold..

looks vaguely familiar..

Maybe we should ask BC'er, Ethicsbasscat?

Nasty lisp you have there..

Don't do it..you'll be back here in 18 months buying more gear which you wouldn't need if you just put this under your bed..

Had some correspondence with Thomas about this bass - he traded it back to Bass direct:

I had a headless bass built by Mark a few months ago - some may remember my thread about the optimum distance for the p/ups - this might be my only concern...he does good work!

Convince him it's like Top Gear - they have to borrow the gear to test drive it and give a review - that's all that you'd be doing...

I was expecting this to be a wives-and-girlfriends post...

same as...(( )) (( )) (( ))

I recently had a custom built by Mark Wood in Leicester - beautiful piece of Cherry and very reasonably priced - I'm sure that he would build you something..

Haven't been to a UK show for ages and either Saturday or Sunday I'm sure I'll be able to make.
Anyone know the cheapest option for getting a ticket at this time?
[/quote]

If you get your ticket from Mark at BassDirect there's no booking fee..when I contacted him last he said he'd be putting up details in the New Year..try contacting him direct..

Having seen Victor last year at a seminar at Digital Village (where he signed my copy of "The Music Lesson" and had my photo taken with his bass) I can confirm that he is an absolutely amazing bassist - even if he's not everybody Cappucino!! If you get the chance go see him - guarenteed he'll blow your mind..

It always takes me ages to settle on a bassline - take the sheet home (get a recording of the tune if poss) and mess around till you're happy with what you've done...your first effort isn't necessarily going to be the best..

Both Chris May and Laurence Blackadder from Overwater use this site regularly - hopefully they'll pick up on this..If you contact them with the serial No they'll probably be able to provide you with loads of information about the bass.

I thought I had both of their email addresses but I can only find Laurence's:

IIRC Chris's BC user name is Overwater - PM him...

For me, it's a form of catharsis - I've got a creative streak that I need to vent in some way..I also love to draw but don't pick up a pencil often enough..plugging in and playing for an hour to an hour and a half allows me to relieve the daily stresses of the real world...there's almost another worldliness to it, a form of mental escapism..much as I'd love to play in a band I'm always frustrated by not achieving what I need to..I got to admit to being the worlds's greatest control freak and band diplomacy can be really frustrating for me hence why I spend a lot of time playing by myself.

This doesn't stop me enjoying playing any less...for me it's the journey not necessarily the outcome..

Anybody interested??

In terms of bass gear, I have an Ibanez ATK-305 5 string, a Hartke HyDrive 210c 250W combo, and in terms of pedals (so far), a Bass Big Muff and an Ibanez Weeping Demon. Could definitely do with some more!

Anyway, cheers for having a look, I look forward to posting on the site!
