  1. looks very behringer...
  2. well, i ordered a bass from GAK on friday - i've got a dispatch date of next friday (15th) i'll let you know how it goes...
  3. thanks for the thoughts folks. i'm still thinking...
  4. [quote name='NancyJohnson' post='480494' date='May 5 2009, 10:57 PM']For £750 would likely buy you a decentish second-hand [i]original [/i]Musicman, or certainly a Warwick or Lakland.[/quote] my thoughts exacty.
  5. pah ! just what you need - another well oiled drummer !
  6. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='480302' date='May 5 2009, 07:45 PM']The passive 'proper' Warwick Corvette fretless is really nice as well and not much more money if I remember rightly.[/quote] it's the p-j configuration i'm after to be honest.
  7. [quote name='maxrossell' post='480252' date='May 5 2009, 06:50 PM']My thoughts are that if the Rockbass is the only one you've tried, I'd try a bunch of others before committing. Especially if the neck was a bit big for your comfort.[/quote] i wouldn't say it was too big, just bigger than i'm used to. it's a matter of finding a place that has one in stock...and i'm meant to be doing some recording this weekend...with a fretless
  8. ...at one of the evil shops on denmark street. i was impressed...i'm on the lookout for a decent fretless now i've cut my teeth on my £50 cheapie, so i thought i'd try out a rockbass today if i could find one, as i understand they all share the same neck. it played very well - the neck is thicker than my little hands are used to, but it seemed to suit playing fretless. so... do i hit GAK with my credit card for a rockbass fortress fretless ? i'm giving myself till wednesday to decide i think any thoughts ?
  9. that's lovely !! they're fine looking basses anyway, but those mods...hmmm. [i]niiiice bit o'wood[/i]
  10. not sure if this counts, but here's me with my tried and trusted 'bored face' i try my best to look involved and into the music... but this just comes out

  12. if you use spray mount, use it outside, and a long way from anything you don't want coated with horrid sticky gunk. if you want it to never come off, you could attch the carpet with something like evostick carpet adhesive
  13. i saw (some of it) last night...i agree it was very poor. but some the footage around the event of the laaahdon flower children was quite amusing.

    SOLD

    up for grabs is my old-model ebs microbass II (without the -10dB pad and the pre/post EQ switch for the DI out). it's been part of my live rig since i bought it from lee650 a bit back and it's amazing imho. still in excellent condition, apart from the obligatory velcro on the bottom. no box i'm afraid. i recently got hold of one of the newer models, so since i'm not gigging anymore i can't justify having two (as i i ever really could ) EDIT: how's about £140 delivered ? anyone...bueller ? bueller ? thanks
  15. [quote name='grumble' post='472608' date='Apr 26 2009, 11:41 AM']I bought it new back in the mid seventies from A1 Music in Manchester after passing up a second hand Burns Bison and a Framus Star !! Oh well, its served me well even if it doent have the resale value the other two would have had[/quote] i think it's gorgeous !!
  16. [quote name='Spoombung' post='469907' date='Apr 22 2009, 07:19 PM']Let's see what it looks like then: [/quote] i think it looks like a somewhat scared 4-eyed beastie. in a good way !!
  17. hmmm. the rockbass sounds interesting. i've been wanting to try a warwick for a while.
  18. i'm pretty new to fretless...i've been noodling around on a weird westone/???? hybrid i got for cheap a while back, and i'm really getting into it. reckon i've got a budget of about £300 to buy myself something a little bit nicer. any recommendations for a 4-string, probrably passive fretless ?
  19. damn you ! damn you all to hell ! i've got some dosh in my paypal account...it was going to go on an ebs valvedrive...but now....
  20. i've voted "...crass and frankly, obscene" but mainly i just think it's a bit pointless.
