[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 !!

[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 !!

hmmm. the rockbass sounds interesting. i've been wanting to try a warwick for a while.

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 ?

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....

i've voted "...crass and frankly, obscene" but mainly i just think it's a bit pointless.

if it doesn't muddy the waters at all, i've got a copy that i'd be happy to pass around. it was given to me by a bass playing friend of mine, so i'd kind of like to pass the love on.

i love it when a plan comes together !

[quote name='EskimoBassist' post='464412' date='Apr 16 2009, 09:11 PM']PLUS THE ONE! Fantastic pedal, I would never gig without it! Definitely worth the money .[/quote] i've tried a lot of pedal compressors, and the ebs wins hands down. the tube sim mode is amazing just for the sweetness it adds to the sound. so...plus the one

i have two kettle leads !

plus the one. i remember when i first started playing bass and trying to play his stuff. trying being the operative word ! top player.

have you had a look at the [url="http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:amps:impedance_and_wattage"]wiki entry ?[/url]

[quote name='chris_b' post='464873' date='Apr 17 2009, 12:07 PM']I guess that the best option would be to use a rehearsal room?[/quote] plus the one. i'm never comfortable practising at someone's house with a drum kit. ymmv of course, but i think it's unfair to inflict that amount of noise on your neighbours.

whereabouts in the world are you ? if you're after a full-on 1U rackmount distortion unit, then i've got a boss gl-100 i'm not using. pm me.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='457087' date='Apr 8 2009, 09:00 AM']What's a boss syv-3? Can't tell from the pic.[/quote] it's a syb-3, with typo !!

ok, here's the board for the gig with [url="http://www.myspace.com/quantumbeats"]quantum beats[/url] this weekend in preston. not the best pic, but the phone cable was already plugged into the lappy. it's... boss tuner >> ebs bass iq >> ebs multicomp >> boss syb-3 >> pearl octaver >> mxr micro amp >> mxr blowtorch >> ebs microbass (small stone in the fx loop). sounds amazing - the multicomp and bass iq are recent acquisitions...i'm very pleased with both. \m/ ¬`¬ \m/

[quote name='bassaussie' post='455880' date='Apr 6 2009, 09:25 PM']He was more likely thinking "gee, I really like the feel of a P bass, but the Jazz has more tonal options - what can I do?".[/quote] exactly what i thought...prolly loved the feel of it, but wanted a jazz pickup...so out came the tools.

i watched a documentary about genesis today.

that is sad.

eubassix very kindly took my q-tron off my hands. lovely chap
