There was a thread about the [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/options.php?id=71780"]Yamaha RBX4-A2[/url] but as I mentioned in it although all the advertising describes how low weight they are I could never find how much they actually weighed!

At first I didn't notice the AM/PM next to the time of the posts and thought they were only 3 minutes apart. I was thinking "this guys got some kind of split personality disorder"!

In have no idea why it isn't working because I think I've done it correctly and the video is still on youtube. Anyway here's the [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PxBGHjABnU"]link[/url].....don't bother listening to it LOL.

Apparently he is Wyclef Jean's cousin and I found a video of them performing "acoustically" together with Niia (I've never heard of her either). It's not usually the sort of thing I would look out for but I really like it. You can compare it to the original (below) which I personally found unbearable and turned off half way through. From Wikipedia, Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis is a Grammy Award nominated Haitian-born musical composer and record producer. His first major success was as producer for The Fugees' 1996 album The Score. He also played the bass guitar with The Fugees, and band member Wyclef Jean is his cousin. Alongside Wyclef and Andrea Guerra, Wonder wrote and produced the theme song "Million Voices" for the movie Hotel Rwanda, which was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2005.[1] The same song was later nominated for a Grammy Award in 2006.[2] He has worked with many acts including Da Band, Bounty Killer, Canibus, John Forté, Shakira, John Legend, Jin, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana, Queen Latifah, Tom Jones, Mick Jagger, The Black Eyed Peas, Simply Red, Lionel Richie and City High. More recently, Duplessis has been concentrating on movie soundtracks including When We Were Kings, Bulworth, Dr. Dolittle 2, 50 First Dates, and Hotel Rwanda. After starting with a small home studio, Jerry also co-founded Platinum Sound recording studios in Manhattan with Wyclef. The studio caters to both film and music and is located in the heart of Times Square Theatre District. ^^Pretty impressive resume^^

[quote name='Bassassin' post='134538' date='Feb 5 2008, 05:28 PM']I take it you don't sell on Ebay. They're also hiking the final value fees quite significantly from Feb 20th: [url="http://web.ebay.co.uk/businesshub/index.php?page=price_changes_uk_general"]http://web.ebay.co.uk/businesshub/index.ph...nges_uk_general[/url] The angry cynic in me suspects that they're trying to squeeze individual sellers out, and make Ebay predominantly a shop front for big traders, who they make the biggest profit from, and who stand to lose the least from buyers who act like @rseholes. Not impressed with this. At all. J.[/quote] The way I was looking at it was that there are buyers that may of had a poor service but do not give negative feedback as they are afraid the seller will respond by unjustifiably giving them the same. That way people who buy off of Ebay and use a sellers feedback to judge whether he/she is safe to buy from are getting inaccurate information. You are right I have never sold anything on Ebay so maybe this will not work in real life but it doesn't sound absurd to me. I must admit I still look at Ebay very simply. If you are a buyer you sent the money and wait and hope that the seller sends the item and doesn't run off with your money. If you are a seller someone sends you the money first and them you sent the item. So looking at it from my point of view the buyer needs protection as they are taking more risk. Plus Ebay needs their feedback to be accurate. I'm sure sellers can still report bad buyers. I would actually like to here why you think it is a bad idea and would not work because like I mentioned I have never sold myself.

I think it could be a good idea.

I saw that on Ebay but had no idea it would go that cheap!

I actually really like them, it might help that I'm a massive fan of The Smiths.

I must admit I couldn't resist checking out the photo gallery on her bands website.

I love The Smiths and the first bass line I ever learnt was "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out". I actually thought the great thing about it was that although it sounds great it's relatively easy to play.

[quote name='Alfie' post='122554' date='Jan 18 2008, 12:16 AM']I was too cheap to get a custom made pickguard, so I bought a whole load of sticky-back-plastic from a car pimping place and stuck it on. I tried orange first, but it ending up making my bass look too much like Jodie Marsh. I may try lime green next, metallic silver is wierd enough to allow you to pull off a whole load of colours.[/quote] I was going to ask if that pickguard came with the bass as I really liked the colour! I might try the sticky back plastic technique in the future, reminds me of Blue Peter.

That seems like a really fun show. I bet those bass solos are every time Beyonce has to change outfits.

I was originally going to post this in the other thread but it got closed. I didn't really want to start a new one but after consideration I though that if I can't post it on the general discussion section of a bass forum where can I post it? Hope thats OK. Anyway I bookmarked this video as it was different to any I had seen on youtube. It's Australian TV, there's a very brief interview and then she plays with a band but the camera focuses on her playing. It's about 5 minutes long, there may be a short advert before it plays.

Just had this for about 5 mins. IPS Driver Error There appears to be an error with the database. You can try to refresh the page by clicking here

Looks strange, can't put my finger on it...

I've just read three articles on this bass, all of them revolving around how light weight they are and yet none of them mentioning how much they actually weigh!

BUMP

Up The Irons!

Nice review Machines, I have been looking forward to reading it as I wanted to compare this bass to the BB614 and could find plenty on the Yamaha but nothing on this bass. Funnily enough a lot of the positive comments on the Yamaha were by yourself, overall if you could have only one would you choose the vintage?
