i bet Maximo Park are shitting themselves

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs

would be interesting to see how Bass would fit into their sound and because they dont usually have a Bassist if it did sound good I would get the gig

bump for my question

i know that this guys Ric is a Ibanez but Ibanez copies are suppose to be really good

thanks for the heads up anyways

wow thats awesome man - im so jealous

congrats on seeing them

what exactly are you looking for if you were to trade?

i am also willing to trade a electric guitar too if you are a player of them

err, well it depends on what your looking for...

i mean if you want another Jazz type bass i have a Fender MIM with DiMarzio Model J's

or if you want something different but still 4 string fretted i have a Yamaha BB414

both of them will come with a hard-case

do you have MSN?

props to him for keeping on playing but what he is playing sounds like crap - imo

still pretty cool though

would you be up for a trade?

holy sh*t man, i have never seen a Rick copy in my life - never mind left handed (i thought Rickenbacker had patented all the rights when they first started releasing bass guitars)

and for £400?


i think im gonna have to get in contact with this guy, thanks for the link man

Oh yeah, thats something I forgot to mention.

This Bass is 3rd hand (I bought it 2nd hand from Cash Converters) so it does not come with a box and I am shipping it with a Ritter gig-bag.

Myung's EBMM Stingray 6

One word - Entwistle

...or at least try to be

Hey guys, hows it going - long time no speak?

Anyways, as some of you may remember a while ago i posted a link to a Bass that I am seeling on eBay and it sold. So my questions is:-

How would one go around and packaging a Bass? I mean are there like special boxes you can get at the Post Office or is it going to have to be a case of simply getting hold of lots of boxes and sticking them all together?

Any suggestions greatly welcomed

Cheers, Mike

thanks for all your help guys, after a serious amount of thinking i have decided to let her go - 2 grand is just too much for a student like me

cheers anyways

hey Joe, nice to see a familiar face around here

Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm making alot of threads but I have alot of un-answeared questions.

So anyways, you always hear about custom guitars, basses and even amps but is there a guy out there (hopefully U.K based) who makes custom effect pedals?

All help greatly appreciated.

Mike

Would it be possible for me to change the stock pickups on my Yamaha BB414 for Seymour Duncan 1/4 Pounders?

I have been looking at them and the bridge pickup (singlecoil) especially looks like it wouldnt be able to house them very well.

Cheers, Mike :~)

thanks for the link MB1, thats a really great website with loads of decent priced gear

from looking through it I can get a vintage Fender for less than a Rickenbacker, hmmmm....

Hi guys (first thread)

Today I went to a local guitar show where I saw a left handed Rickenbacker 4001 in Fireglow. Its from 1971 and has a checkerboard inlay for the binding. The condition is as you would expect from a vintage bass that has been used for gigging - but nothing serious. Headstock is fine, all electronics work and it has all its orginal parts.

The guy is wanting £2000 for it. Is this too much?

I have been on ebay and you can get a Rick from the same era for about a grand less - however they are not left handed.

I would really appreciate your views on this as if you guys say the price is right then I might just have to go for it

Thanks, Mike

wow, great player man - one of my favourite funk bassists of all time

love his tone

Hi guys,

just come over from MX (Sputnik) and wanted to see what the crack was over here. Chris (finbar) suggested for me to check this place out so here I am.

Well I guess I should start with the basics, I'm 18 (19 in November) and have been playing Bass for about 3 and a half years - and been loving every second of it

I have been in loads of bands but currently am in none, my favourite style of music is Rock and I live in Cumbria.

As for gear I have 2 Basses; a Schecter Stiletto Studio 5 and a Fender MIM Jazz with DiMarzio Model J's. I run them through a Laney R3 165 watt combo and have a BOSS ODB-3 and CS-3.

I hope to meet lots of cool guys on these boards and hopefully learn and share a thing or two too

Peace out, Mike
