[quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1432659928' post='2783706'] A 70's era/70's style Precision. Vintage white, black guard and maple board. The Matt Freeman Squier is probably the best bet, but I don't have room for another bass! [/quote] Keep an eye on the marketplace in about a fortnight

The single 'Wannabe' came out ages ago, but we took ages to get the video done. Here it is, fresh onto the Tube http://youtu.be/Cq2A7M8XbU0

Anyone listened to the new album? I'm loving it. The sleeve notes talk about each track being done in one take, and that this is now the peak of evolution of his bespoke software, but that's all beyond me - I just love the music. To top it off, the 'video' for the first single is a Virtual Reality App! You need special lenses (I just happened to have a pair from a Tool CD cover, but you can get Google Cardboard ones) and it's pretty damned impressive. You make your way through this crazy psychedelic world, and you can look ANY direction and it tracks your movements flawlessly. It gets pretty intense towards the end, so go easy on the drugs ;-) More about the app http://www.factmag.com/2015/05/13/squarepusher-stor-eiglas-virtual-reality-video/

Still available

I've had a ruthless clearout of my CDs, resulting in this bucket of approx 100 which may be duplicates/ripped to computer/I never listen to them. Quite a variety: jazz, funk, reggae, dub, indie, rock, dance, latin. Bucket not included, but can put in a box or binbag or something. Collect from Nottingham. No postage and no cherry picking the stuff you like. All or nothing.

On the Facebook bass market page. Seems very good price but no pics :-(

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1432576499' post='2782900'] I would put up with it, if I liked the sound and did not want to change it. Single coil hum has never really been much of an issue for me. [/quote] +1

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1432573796' post='2782851'] So which bass is best for fighting off polar bears? [/quote] [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/rackbags/0541-1_zpsbgwwblpe.jpg" class="ipsImage" />

There's a detailed review here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/259224-orange-ob1-500-review/

I've never used a vol/vol tone setup, but I don't think I'd like it. I use vol/blend and it's great, but tbh I'd be just as happy with a three way switch instead of blend. Actually thinking about it a switch would be better as you can see at a glance what setting it is on.

I'd just stick a bamboo into a coconut. Instant Warwick Thumb.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1432541651' post='2782349'] I'd take a fretless nine string. Stuck on the desert island, I'd have sufficient time to learn how to play it properly. And if I got bored of life on the island, I could use the strings to tie together bamboo poles to make a raft. (Yes, I know that this is actually a ten string). [/quote] And you'd never be short of fishing line

[quote name='dudi8' timestamp='1432507357' post='2782233'] Who sells it in Europe?? [/quote] You mean mainland or does the UK count? http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/jule-monique-dove-cage/

It's a relief that he has paid for it - I was under the impression that you have been out of pocket for two years!

over two grand....

No guesses as to the asking price? I'll give you a clue - it's over a grand...

'Heavily Modded' is an understatement - it has five strings!! Anyone want to guess how much it's up for?

Not heard of it. Is it a new Join My Band type site?

Penn. Or Teller. One of them anyway

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1431985052' post='2777070'] The OP seems to have gone to sleep. And we still don't know what he wants to play. This is what I think of as Country these days (as opposed to the[i] and Western[/i] type). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vulqnx4S7p4 [/quote] There you go - all you need is a Pedulla Rapture five string 😆

I've neglected this so haven't been updating. Next up:

I played on a BCer's Sadowsky the other week, and couldn't believe how tight the strings felt. I was informed that they were Elixirs.
