Ok i think this is the right place for this topic Does any one know any thing about the Tonmister course and does any one think its worth getting it, the list of things you need to get on its crazy. You need an A in physics, maths and music A level as well as a grade 7 or 8 in performance Am studying music production at the moment (FDA) but finding that the course is A, to easy and B, not really about any thing i really want to do. Any help would be amazing.

[quote name='NJE' post='1166236' date='Mar 17 2011, 08:35 PM']I wasnt actually at the show, just made enquiries about the GB basses that were there. The custom guitar I played was actually a Guitar, a custom built JJ Hucke and it was amazing. Very very jealous of you having a GB with Ebody board though. So it seems the general consensus is that Ebody makes no difference really! Well it still looks and feels beautiful so I think I would still like a Ebody necked bass. Currently eyeing up the roasted neck, ebody board Ball Family Reserve Stingray![/quote] I would say go for one, i have played maple for years and the one day i played a mates les paul and was like this would rock on bass and that was that. If you ever end up near eastbourne you more than welcome to give mine a go and see what you think. Am picking her up sat wahooo happy days. Hope this thread has helped you

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1165330' date='Mar 17 2011, 07:44 AM']Was nice to catch up again. Yup - it's a beaut alright! This Spitfire absolutely sings! A few more pics due soon so I'll do some updating...[/quote] Yeah was cool to catch up mate and it was a great day, am so going to the bass show again next year. But some thing has to be done about the slap I will picking her up sat, can not believe, its going to be a good weekend oh yes

Its been a long winter but finally the wait is nearly over. Cant wait to get her now, played her at the bass show and it was amazing, just the amount of tones you can get is amazing. Many fun times to be had, god am a happy man

[quote name='NJE' post='1152344' date='Mar 7 2011, 11:26 AM']I am just wondering if anyone out there owns or has played a bass with a fretted Ebony board? I know it is used on fretless basses quite a bit, but I dont see many fretted Ebony basses. Reason I ask is that I have a squier with "Ebanol" fingerboard which is like a dark simulated synthetic ebony and it has amazing punch and clarity and the strings seem to be permanantly bright on that bass. I just love it and want to know, if this is what Ebony sounds like, does it have similar charatersitics to what I loosely described? I played a custom guitar the other day with an ebony fretboard and it was beautiful and I now have real GAS for Ebony Jazz.[/quote] just wondering but what custom bass did you play? I only ask because i saw that you where at the bass show, and had a go on a GB and if thats the case that bass you played with an ebony board might have been mine I love ebony to me it feels like the black maple, its so smooth and you get a real mid growl with it.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='1158821' date='Mar 11 2011, 11:43 PM']There are a couple of Wal owners near brighton[/quote] Just going to have to hunt them down now then and see if they can help.

[quote name='NJE' post='1158653' date='Mar 11 2011, 09:01 PM']I would say try and find a friendly basschatter with one near you or take a road trip and visit Mark at Bass Direct as he seems to have a few in at the moment.[/quote] Road trip might be on then Unless i find some one closer that is, cheers dude

Ok have been GASing over wals for way to long now does any one know where you can try one of these out Am based near brighton Any ideas? or does a bass chatter might have one i could try

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1153242' date='Mar 8 2011, 12:14 AM']There's some stunners due out soon - Jimmyp28's is lookin' nice [/quote] Went and saw bernie on sat and she was all put together, not set up but god she was playing great already. Berine is going to burst it a little, cant belive she is nealry done, the big man said two weeks from now wahooo. Was worried the walnut top and ebony fret bored was not going to work but it looks so good cant wait to get some pics up. Its like its nearly christmass but in march

Is this whole 2010 delux thing just fender ripping off sadowsky? they look the same and the pre amp appers to be the same as well, funny really as sadowsky ripped off fender lol What does every one else think then?

The best sounding Rumour without a doubt was the blue Rumour that got killed on the Mika tour. Literally offcuts of wood glued together and painted up (hence why he'll never sell it) - yet for some reason, it just sings... well, it did... until it got killed on the Mika tour. [/quote] That'll be because of this then...... I had the pleasure of playing this bass when I was playing with Paul Carrack and my GB was being reviewed by Dave Marks. It was a stunning playing and sounding bass. Will be much missed. [/quote] News i think you will like then is that the blue Rumour is now back and fully restored, saw it yesterday and god it does soung good. she is back from the dead lol

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1050567' date='Dec 7 2010, 02:26 PM']Can probably sort that out.[/quote] Well we will have to do that, well when i get her that is

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='1045799' date='Dec 2 2010, 11:00 PM']Yup, walnut with a burr walnut top. Similar to this one then...? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11329"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11329[/url] Would make a killer pair of basses. Welcome to the dark side [/quote] If it looks as good as that am a happy bunny indeed although i have gone for an ebony finger board so mine will be super duper dark from head to toe, will have to call her the black beauty me thinks... yeah thats right gibson, you heard am cailling her the balck beauty Just wish i had a time machine and then i would be really happy At some point the basses might have the picture taken together, you never know.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1045958' date='Dec 3 2010, 07:58 AM']May. Ha. Keep dreaming [/quote] strange you say that, a bassist i know also said if you get it in may it will be a miricle. God i just want it here now though, the jazz am playing is killing me! And every time i go to see berinie and then play on a spitfire am like come build man build lol But that said i get my fafner in jan so that will help till then. well i hope so

Gb rocks, I have one on order and can not wait till she is built. It will be the only bass i play for a long time, every thing else just seems so flat once you have played GB the active circutry is just amazing, the first time i had a go on a spit fire, it just sounded amazing, you can really get any sound out of them but yet they have there own sound. Yes they do cost a bit, but worth every penny. Bernie will talk you through every thing. And you will keep it for the rest of your life. so 2500 plus for the rest of your life, not really that much.
