[quote name='Astronomer' post='160112' date='Mar 19 2008, 09:51 AM']I play fretted 4 and 5-strings, and there's always just that little bit of background ringing.[/quote]

do you live near a church perhaps ?

[quote name='FJ1200' post='159349' date='Mar 18 2008, 07:26 AM']I always read users reviews before buying these sort of things, as manufacturers website reviews are a bit of a waste of time ...[/quote]

ahhh...remember the days [i]before[/i] the interweb ?

maybe they're vintage ?

[quote name='R,5,R,5...' post='159779' date='Mar 18 2008, 05:40 PM']Brilliant fun. I love the guy with the massive balalaika having a blast.[/quote]

[i]covering FIIIIIRE[/i]

[quote name='neepheid' post='159728' date='Mar 18 2008, 04:22 PM']I hate higglty-pigglty string through holes.[/quote]

"i mean...what could you do with that ?"

great stuff !

[quote name='ednaplate' post='159281' date='Mar 17 2008, 10:39 PM']+1 on the Julian Cope autobiography.[/quote]

plus the one (two ?)

although half of it is fiction i'm sure...he he did all that he did i doubt he'd remember it all !!

[quote name='Low End' post='158226' date='Mar 15 2008, 10:06 PM']Wood and metal it is, but it surely merits its place in rock n' roll / bass history, he may not have inspired us all but he inspired enough of us, and this bass is mentioned enough in all articles everywhere to warrant its own credit. How many other famous bassplayers and the basses that they use are so intertwined[/quote]

my take is this...the bass is only of interest cos jaco played it, and tbh i'd have the same attitude to one of peter hook's or simon gallup's guitars, who i have a lot more respect for.

i wouldn't pay over the odds for a shergold cos hooky played it for instance. that's just crazy to my mind.

but if anyone's selling a shergold 6-string...




it's just my take on the sitch ymmv, as per.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='158159' date='Mar 15 2008, 08:05 PM']Apparently Lord Lucan had it.[/quote]

and stole it away on shergar to his secret hidaway and then took it on the goodyear blimp to shangri-la ?



i mean...tbh does it matter ? personally i don't care for the man's playing or his tone, but without the player it's just a hunk of wood and metal isn't it ?

deffo interested pm on the way

coffee table basses don't do much for me tbh, but each to their own.

that's beautiful.

i might be interested in the micro synth....

my own band's new song

very similar to my amp...except i'm using a soundtech ps802 poweramp and the slightly earlier model of the ampeg


amazing sound.

[quote name='paul, the' post='150532' date='Mar 3 2008, 06:14 PM']I have a Precision Special because I was in this situation: Love the P Bass Sound - Hate the neck width.

I love it. It's got a j-pup at the bridge for a little extra versatility too.[/quote]

when you a special do you mean one of these ?

plus the one on the hit hat side of the drummer.

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='147412' date='Feb 26 2008, 08:19 PM']I just got one for £40 off the basschat forum, unopened in it's box. Well worth it for that price. The envelope filter sounds pretty good, and the octaver tracks really well. I've not really found much of a use for the synth sounds, but if you fuzz them up they can sound really filthy. If you're not sure, wait around for a second hand one, that way you can get your money back![/quote]

i'll certainly keep my eyes open...

i'm wondering if one of these might be more flexible tho...



i do like the idea of the fx loop...

[quote name='dannybuoy' post='147344' date='Feb 26 2008, 05:48 PM']...or for £60 get a Digitech Bass Synth Wah.[/quote]


i've been wondering about one of those...you reckon it's worth it ?

[quote name='phatbass787' post='147353' date='Feb 26 2008, 06:02 PM']I have just ordered one of these and am very very excited, there has been a lot of hype from those who heard it at The Namm show over on talk bass, and only £59![/quote]

love to hear what you think of it !!
