    Mike bought my Vox bass from me. Really nice guy and a real pleasure to do business with.
  2. joeystrange
    I kinda like it. Looks more like a Ric and a Mosrite to me though.

    Last try... Down to £300.

    I just remembered watching REM getting it wrong too. On a pretty big stage!! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvxTJFIz18s[/media]

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1330016124' post='1551509'] You've been lucky then.[/quote] For more then just being able to take it in the cabin. I know plenty of people that have taken guitars into the cabin on transatlantic flights and been held for 8-12 hours in customs before finally being let into the country. I'd hate that to happen. Even if I didn't have anything to hide.

    Oddly enough, on the subject of clicks being restrictive, a few of my friends went to see Rammstein in Nottingham last night and apparently at one point their click track messed up mid-song so they had to stop and start again. So it even happens to the best of them!

    Like others have said, it depends how good your drummer is. A lot of drummers assume they can play to a click because "It's just playing in time, ain't it." and then fail miserably when they actually try. I've seen that happen a lot! As long as the songs are at the right tempo it'll sound fine. It might take you a little while to get used to playing the whole song at the same tempo though. My band don't play to a click live but we always do in the studio. We'll write, rehearse and gig a song for a while and get it tight then when we play it to a click to work out the tempo for the studio it sometimes sounds odd. I think there are certain parts of songs where most people naturally speed up a couple of bpm (usually choruses) and usually you don't notice but when you start doing the same song with a click it can make some parts seem fine whilst other seem a little bit fast or slow. When you get used to it though, it's fine. Our drummer plays in another band that do play to a click and he loves the freedom of playing with us without one.

    I've been watching the new Future Of The Left video today. That's as good as I can get until the single gets released.

    That should work fine. Ive seen it done by moving the bottom strap button to the top corner too. The nose dive was one reason I stopped playing my Thunderbird.

    I got a VM P Bass a couple of years ago and it's an incredible bass! It may not be the best made bass in the world (actually the build quality is surprisingly good) but it sounds fantastic and for less than £200 brand new you can't really go wrong!

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1330525208' post='1558831'] Thanks! Yes we did. As Mr Venom says - it's the only place in Nottingham that is more sleazy than he is! BTW welcome to Basschat! There's plenty of other people from Nottingham here but few of them seem to be in bands I've heard of, so it's nice to see someone here who's band I know. [/quote] He's got a point! My old band did our album launch there a few years ago. I'd be willing to bet it was a much more laid back affair than yours! And thanks, I've been here for a little while, just not posted all that much. Hopefully catch you at a gig soon!

    I had no idea you'd done this video until now! It looks great! Did you shoot the band stuff at Tantra?

    I've always thought Krist Novoselic is really underrated. There are a lot of subtleties in his playing that you don't even hear until you hear solo'd bass tracks.

    Here's the new eBay listing with the dropped price: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vox-3002-Custom-Bass-RARE-/130656481970?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e6bbbb2b2#ht_8129wt_1270"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vox-3002-Custom-Bass-RARE-/130656481970?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e6bbbb2b2#ht_8129wt_1270[/url] Though I'd still be interesting in selling privately. It's strange, I've never seen another of these in person and only ever seen one Standard in the flesh but since deciding to sell I've come across a fair few people that have them both. Maybe it's that old thing where you don't notice something until you're consciously aware of it?

    One more bump for tonight then it's going back on eBay.
  17. joeystrange
    This.
  18. joeystrange
    It's pretty punchy and had a lot of sustain, as you can imagine from the through neck and bridge. It's also built like a tank and weighs in at 5kg.
  19. joeystrange
    OK, didn't sell on the Bay. Let's call it £350?
  20. joeystrange
    Got delayed a bit with putting it up but, if anyone is interested... Here it is. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130649700045#ht_8129wt_1270"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130649700045#ht_8129wt_1270[/url]

    Thanks guys. One more bump then it's going to eBay tonight.

    Hey guys, I am selling a Vox Custom 3002 Bass with original wooden hard case. I'm looking at £450 for both. I've had this bass for 11 years and have barely touched it in the last 9 or 10 so I decided it should go to a good home where it will actually get some use. I thought I'd post it on here to see if there was any interest before I put it on the Bay. I'm not sure of the year of manufacture but as far as I know these were only made between 1982 and 1984 at Aria's Matsumoku factory and, as a consequence, are pretty rare. Everything on the bass is original apart from the nut. They came with a brass nut but (from what I've read and as was the case with mine) the top edge of the nut had a tendency to wear down over time and the E-string would pop out if you hit it too hard. I had the brass nut changed for a graphite one not long after I got it. Spec: 34" scale. 24 frets. Through-neck. DiMarzio pickups. Volume and single tone control. 3-way pickup selector. Mode switch for series/parallel or coil tap. Deluxe bridge and tailpiece assembly. String-through body. From the little info I could find, I found out that Billy Sheehan played one for a short time whilst he was playing with UFO.

    I have one of those. I just swapped out the pots for an on/off switch and left it at that. IMO it sounds and plays awesome! Since I've had it I've played it way more than both of my Fenders.

    I'd have Kelson Mathias' tone from when he was in Future Of The Left. Really love it!
