Not sure how much a Peavey grind is but I think they're 35" and not too expensive? They're popular-ish I think...

Jez bought a bunch of picks from me, instant payment, good banter, lovely guy! Recommended!!

[quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1325250108' post='1481300'] Not wanting to cast a shadow on Lakland as I have owned a few of them, but never found the Bart MK pickups to my liking to be honest. Good shout though, they do the job for a great many people and are built to last. Cheers, Mark. [/quote] I love the feel of mine but may one day upgrade the pups to maybe some nordstrand fat stacks, the barts are doin a great job for now though...

You should be able to snag a s/h Lakland 55-01 for around 400, they're amazing!

Mark bought my blue tortex picks, paid instantly and had great comms, thanks matey! No problems here, would gladly recommend to all!

Harry just bought a bunch of strings from me, instant payment via e-cheque (so no fees all round) and was fantastically communicative and patient throughout! A top chap who I'd not hesitate to recommend! Goonies rule!

I'm afraid I was expecting much the same as [url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/93-dudewheresmybass/"][color="#282828"]dudewheresmybass[/color][/url] but I've never seen such a pretty headless bass! Love the sovereign addition too! The Holly top looks like molten silk!

[quote name='jjay69' timestamp='1324477125' post='1474718'] i often use a Behringer amp at the studio we rehearse at if i can't get my own amp there, combined with a Marshall 4x12 it can sound flippin awesome somedays, i've often thought sometimes i'll just get one of these a a backup. Nice and easy to use, great range of sounds, decent shape filter, good rock tone, all in all a good back up. Not the same as the one in the add though but this one [url="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BX4500H.aspx"]http://www.behringer...ts/BX4500H.aspx[/url] [/quote] It's an 'ashdown-a-like' for £200! I may get one as a back up!!

[quote name='derrenleepoole' timestamp='1324474567' post='1474668'] I would be more interested in this, A Status 5 string for £333! [url="http://www.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/417753/the-groove-bass-guitar"]http://www.cashconve...ove-bass-guitar[/url] [/quote] That's a great price isn't it? Not far from me too...

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1324474298' post='1474663'] [url="http://www.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/412764/behringer-bvt-5500h-ultra-bass-amplifier"]http://www.cashconve...-bass-amplifier[/url] Seems like a lot of Amp for £159? [/quote] It may not sound like that much amp, it's a Behringer and they have very mixed quality...

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1324473317' post='1474635'] I haven't had my sweet sherry as yet, so dont feel able to join in. [/quote] mmm sherry!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1324465728' post='1474440'] Looks bigger than a credit card to me.... [/quote] Laugh, I nearly did! Classic!! I hope you find a new home for your tuna soon!

Sad thing is, it doesn't sound like it watches... The rhythm guitar is acoustic in places, the drummer is hitting ride and it's sounding hats, lead is massively compressed for a combo with no pedals..., it's all for show like top of the pops...only the singing sounds live.. :-(

all of the above advice has worked for me! cheat sheets are invaluable for this sort of thing!

The logo means nothing to me, nor the cost of the instrument...it must feel good, play good and sound right, that is all! I've had expensive warwicks, USA fenders, stingrays 4 & 5 and currently I have a Lakland 55-01 which costs hundreds less than the cheapest of my historic basses, it sounds great, looks great and plays great! No-one I play to has ever heard of Lakland so who cares! I love it!

My spare fingers aren't always spare so they float relaxed but close by in case they're needed... My thumb - (I agree with mcgraham above), although I don't always remember, if I'm playing a more complex or swift string changing pattern then I automatically use the floating thumb thing, otherwise I may anchor my thumb, or anchor my fingers if I'm using my thumb or anchor my wrist if I'm using a pick...

Just to gather the other threads for Dan... basschat.co.uk/topic/62456-danweb22-feedback/page__fromsearch__1 basschat.co.uk/topic/106410-danweb22/page__fromsearch__1 Also...he bought a rather nice rosewood thumbrest/tugbar from me, paid immediately, was thoroughly agreeable throughout and had great comms!

Top vid! I had a bsy600 synth thingy, sounded good, switch v intermittent...put me off behringer, might give 'em another go now! That valve di wotsit looks real good!
