    Great bass,great sound.So versatile.Selling mine due to a bad back though
  3. Due to a bad back I am regretfully selling this $$,finished in Nirvana Black oiled finish,complete with Warwick gig bag. This bass has highly versatile pickups,with micro switches allowing single coil,series or parallel options. The other controls,from the neck end,are volume,pup pan,treble and bass. The body has some buckle rash on the rear and the rear strap button has been moved twice. I am asking for £500 and will deliver up to 30 miles from Godalming in Surrey. Go on,make me an offer I can't refuse!
  4. Had a Hohner stick bass and a Jazz copy(tiger-eye maple top in purple burst!)and I still miss them.They were absolutely great.
  5. The less notes you play,the better the other band members seem,and you will be in demand. Listen to the song without playing;hear the gaps where you are required to play and to not play. Do not be afraid to ask other band members what they want to hear from the bass. And never take the p**s out of the lead guitarist when he makes a pigs ear of a solo.Those delicate sensibilities can't take criticism

    SX basses

    [quote name='Low End' post='145307' date='Feb 22 2008, 08:29 PM']I have heard rumours along the lines of thunderthumbs that the SX "Starter pack" basses are not quite as good as the standalones but still better than similar competitors packs. In Ireland you can get SX's in Waltons in Dublin and I believe they sell on the web which may be good for you people from across the pond to consider as sterling is so strong at the moment against the Euro. www.waltons.ie[/quote] +1for me.I would much prefer to import from Eire than the USA.I saw a jazz sx on my last trip to Dublin.Very pretty bass.
  7. Avoid like the plague-very uncomfortable body.Mine lasted 2 months.I p-exed it for a $$.
  8. I put castors on my Peavey 1x15 to save my back.It has'nt improved or degraded my sound at all.
  9. Had one,gigged it once,sold it.Good sound but I found a body with minimal chamfering was too painful on my forearm.It looked bloody huge on me as well!
  10. Welcome to BC.Good to know that there are more players locally.
  11. A new rehersal room has opened up in Bisley.It's called Chicken Shack,the web address is www.chickenshackstudios.com. They are at Unit 5,Bullenhouse Farm,Shaftesbury Road,Bisley,GU24 9EW.07748 095534.I have'nt tried them out yet.

    Great sound with a pick.Ca'nt see it being anyones main bass though.
  13. Thanks a bunch!Every time I look on BC I get more GAS than a baked bean taster!My wish list now includes an SX J-bass,a MarkBass combo,varius items on the Bass Porn bit plus the Italia.Oh well,looks like I'll have to sell my spare internal organs.Anyone want a lung?1 previous owner.
  14. Proof that Satan's hand has touched the Earth!Burn it at the stake post haste!
  15. Status Groove,worn strings,bass boost,treble cut=thump!Only 1 pup at bridge position.Plenty of lows but loads of definition.It cuts through 3 guitars,drums,sax,keys and 5 vocals and still sounds solid.
  16. I'm not a p-bass fan,but at those prices I may convert!Did you see tha Ash j-bass on the Rondo site?I want one of those!
  17. [quote name='paul, the' post='114504' date='Jan 6 2008, 01:39 AM']I do like a Corvette when double bucked. Joint second in that case when in a dark reddy wood.[/quote] Mines in black,but the grain pattern shows through.Bloody heavy though!
  18. Corvette.My $$ took a while to get used to.I had to move the rear strap button up to get it to hang comfortably.
  19. I found that the best sound on my TE is no pre-shape,no EQ.I use active basses and tend to use rear pup,-b treble,+3 bass.
  20. [attachment=4609:m_db086a...cb9cc479.jpg] Here I am!This was at the Half Moon in Putney a couple of years ago.
  21. Help,I've got GAS.Am willing to sell a spare kidney or will px a lung for one of those
  22. Merely a man,XTC Mayor of Simpleton,XTC Strange Town,The Jam They don't make them like you any more,Rory Gallagher
  23. Socks and pyjamas.Any unwanted basses should be sent directly to me.
  24. he will get his punshment in the afterlife
