first port of call is check out joinmyband.com and similar local websites (and your local muso shop noticeboard etc) - ive nearly approached a couple of local bands but then decided against it after a cursory check reveals that they are constantly and repeatedly advertising for band members

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1323637185' post='1465346'] I always get this wrong so I'd check with paypal but effectively someone somewhere within the transaction will be paying to use the paypal service. [/quote] i just used paypal to purchase an item from the forum here and whilst completing the transaction it did give the choice of whether i wished to pay the fees or the other party was paying the fees im sure someone will correct me if im wrong but recently i didnt notice the 'gift' option - seems like paypal may have pulled that as too many people using it to avoid declaring the fees correctly??

i once very stoopidly placed an effects pedal in a case with my 77 black/maple strat after a bit of shaking and jiggling later i had a nice chunk out of the lacquer and wood, mid neck right under under the thumb line

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1323030989' post='1458517'] Wouldn't worry about it tbh your price is so good you could afford to have it couriered and still undercut the competition. [/quote] yes it is way cheaper than ebay but i'll be happy as long as it goes to a good home with someone who has the patience to twiddle around with it and put it to good use

£300 to spend on backup bass - recommendations?
steve-bbb replied to citymariner's topic in Bass Guitars
for that amount beer tokens try a squier J and fit it with a pair of wizards and a gotoh bridge warning! youll prob end up using it as your main bass -

hartke hydrive 1x15 - 500W power rating discrepancy?
steve-bbb replied to steve-bbb's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='dood' timestamp='1322745042' post='1455198'] I'd take both the eBay lister and the TalkBass posts with a pinch of salt as it says nothing about how the cabinet or indeed about how the gear is being used. e.g. driving excessive low end (sub frequencies) in to it. I'd say that about any person making general comments about any gear. There's no fact in the reference to the power handling. I could make a speaker cabinet 'fart out' with not a great deal of power which could lead to premature failure of the speaker. Or maybe, just unlucky, the guy had a faulty cabinet? It does happen after all. [/quote] good point - im inclined to agree as ive not had much in the way of adverse feedback on here that would support the original ebay posters 'opinion' or found anywhere else on the interweb my own gut feeling is to go with the hydrive 1x15 and the lh500 - my hydrive 4x10 is a beast and im very confident of its capabilities so hopefully will be likewise for the 1x15 -
[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1322905443' post='1457100'] I am sure someone will come along who knows for sure. The double stops and shakes do sound like mod wheel & pitch bends though. Garry [/quote] its not the easiest of things to google either! - at least ive just learned that vinnie colauita is on the credits for it! never realised that before

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1322869396' post='1456978'] Oh well - i got that wrong.. Although it does sound like the DX7 Fretless Bass patch, The same one as 'Take My Breath away' - Berlin. And just about every Pub Duo using Backing tracks. Garry [/quote] not being a synth exp but form my experience of previously owning a roland super jd it does sound like some of the fretless and acoustic bass patches in the roland did roland make a bass version of their guitar synth pickup (edit - and if they did was it available at the time of the recording? i think their first bolt on guitar synth pick up was early 90s ish so guess that might be to late?) - i would agree that the whole tone does sound like patches but some of the lines played sound like they fit better on strings rather keys if you catch my drift my ears (and the technology timeline) would suggest synth but my fingers are saying strings
