Both my thumbs bend like that too. It has nothing to do with playing bass. Trust me I suck

The Bassist from my mates old band (awesome chops) and the first band we played gigs with in my first used a laney. 1x15 and 4x10 with a nice little head. No idea of the model number or any other specifics but it served him well over the years and I borrowed it a couple of times until I got my act together and sorted my own amp out.

Sounded pretty dang good to my untrained ears.

I have always had a soft spot for Bolton but they have never been teh same since big Sam left

Seriously though, I have both Bolt on and neck thru. Both completely different types of bass though so it would be impossible to make a decision based on those. I choose dont care but I will chop and change depensing on the song.

I am trying to work on it. I dont really have the confidence in my bass playing live enough yet. I play fine but whenever I start to sing it all falls to pieces

I suppose its all practice though huh.

Sorry ARGH but I had to vote no. Dont see the point of another sub forum for all the reasons stated by other chatters.

Could you not just accept that some people are Douches when they post the drivvel that has brought this on? You are trying something new and more power to you, dont get hung up on other peoples views (however misguided).

Edit: I have no problem with the idea but feel you might just alienate yourself even more.

Very nice! Anyone else notice the booklet says it was tested by Robert Trujillo?

I voted Tort guard. There is something about a black fender with Tort guard that just says "Awesome" to me.

Couldnt skip the second bit but voted Wizard cause of all the good noise on here about them. Gonna pick a set of Jazz ones when/if I get the money.

Cant vouch for the amps but I have a 4x12 cab I use. Have never had a problem with it. Just bought a 2x10 (not Marshall) to give it a bit more punch.

Does weigh a ton though.

Hmm I bought one from there too. Had to file the neck pocket down a bit on the plate but it fitted fine after I had done that. Had to fill a couple of holes but it definitely fitted over the pickups.

+1 Struggles with my E string, god forbid you need to tune a 5 banger!

[quote name='rob_89' post='83200' date='Nov 3 2007, 05:38 PM']cheers for replies everyone, just ordered the glx distortion pedal as it came with its recommendation, and seemed to have good reviews elsewhere. appreciated [/quote]

Phew, you didnt go for the tuner

I havent tried them but at £3.50 they seem like a bit of a rip off if you ask me. Cheaper to try the dunlop ones [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pair-original-DUNLOP-STRAPLOCKS-strap-locks-to-guitar_W0QQitemZ120181731231QQihZ002QQcategoryZ42455QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pair-original-DUNLOP...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

I know they are the same price but you will get them cheaper in a music store and they are tried and tested. I used them on my Westone (weighs an absolute ton) until I got a set of Schallers.

If I could sell my old head unit I would snap this up, but a failed ebay auction and no interest on here tells me I am gonna have to keep a hold of the amp

Just recieved one of his very own 2x10 Alien Audio cabs. A pleasure to deal with even with a bit of mucking around with Paypal.

Very well built solid cab, looks nice and sounds braw. Need to get it to practice on monday so I can give it a good seeing to

+1 on his packing too! Took me ages to get into it haha!

You moved this as I was replying! Fly bastage lol.

Once those harden you will have great callouses (sp?) and you wont need to worry about getting any more blisters no matter how hard you play.

I remember my first two like that. Trying all night to get a real sloppy demo of 6 songs for our first band. Never had a single blister since.

My old man has agreed to take my one off me! Woo hoo. Just means he is gonna have a 17" one lying around now. Ah well not my problem huh

I have heard nothing but good stuff on Valenti Basses and that floor is almost infamous on TB.

I wish I had the £750 to throw on it but I dont. Good luck with the sale mate.

I got a little excited there and realised it was a Jazz 5er

I want to try a Pearloid on my Sage green MIM. Saw one on Talkbass once and thought it looked neat.

[quote name='jhk' post='82483' date='Nov 1 2007, 07:58 PM']Works fine, but now I have flat screen monitor ,so can anyone use/re-house this?[/quote]

Good luck mate. I am sitting here with a 19" one. Cant even give them away!










Anyone?

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='79992' date='Oct 27 2007, 12:07 AM']They were good stuff in the day like lots of jap when they stopped making crap and started making gear as good as anything from the US.

Is the second one a scam using the first?[/quote]

Possibly. I never saw the original listing. Can anyone who did see it tell if maybe they have copied the pics and sh**?

[quote name='movwkd' post='79900' date='Oct 26 2007, 06:49 PM']Just seen this bass on evilbay ...

Seriously gonna watch that bad boy. £30 with 2 days to go!

[quote name='Buzz' post='79886' date='Oct 26 2007, 06:08 PM']Ask a local dealer or contact Yamaha.[/quote]

My mate needed a battery cover for his Yammy accoustic. Popped into sound control to see if they could get him one and how much it would be. The sales guy just foned Yamaha and told them to send an extra one with the next shipment. Never cost my mate a penny. Job done.

[quote name='sk8' post='79651' date='Oct 26 2007, 08:33 AM']I need a practice amp anyhoo and i'm looking at a 40 watt one and wonder whther this will be enough to jam with an accoustic guitar or an epectric on a practice amp?

Thanks in advance[/quote]

Without Drums? Yeah easily. With drums? Probably not unless the drummer uses daffodils as sticks

[quote name='stewblack' post='79076' date='Oct 24 2007, 08:29 PM']Lovely instrument, well I love mine anyway. Can't justify two. I'd like the case though ...[/quote]

I'd pay £20 for the case! Looks like they fit nice

[quote name='Toasted' post='74439' date='Oct 15 2007, 09:33 AM']Wizard get alot of good press and are probably the best you can afford for £50 or slightly more.[/quote]

I am gonna eventually drop a pair in my MIM when I get the cash gathered up.
