[quote name='ahpook' post='123680' date='Jan 20 2008, 10:39 AM']i'd say the same...it seems like the fact you work together is getting in the way of you enjoying playing bass.[/quote] +1 It looks like your work dynamic has carried over into the band. Explain to your boss that in a band situation it`s quite acceptable to throw heavey things at your drummer! The guitarist sounds like a creepy brownose as well..... Get rid and enjoy your playing with like minded people Dave

[quote name='binman' post='123058' date='Jan 18 2008, 07:17 PM']Thanks for the welcome guys. I live slap bang in the middle of Edinburgh and Glasgow in sunny Livingston. Cheers Stuart[/quote] Hey I was only 15 miles out! Are you in a band just now stuart? Have you ever been to Milton Keynes? It`s like livingston on steriods!!

I`m going to have a stab at that.....You are from.......Glasgow!! Am I right? welcome to the forum mate another Scot is always welcome.......

Why does it have 3 identical guitars in the middle?? Has anyone here ever played a fretless 6 string and what would it sound like? A cat with a firework up it`s bottom is a close approximation

I`m in an ACDC tribute and our Angus is the same SIZE as the real one. But, here`s the good bit, his uniform is the one he wore to school for REAL!! His wee satchel has his gold initials on it! ....... I dont go for the wig thing....thats too far! Do try and wear a sleveless tshirt or something DCish...got to make an effort if people are paying good money to come and see you!

OK it`s mine!.....you got me Bought this on BC for £775. The young lad didn`t describe the "mojo" this bass has as well as he could have!! I`m basically taking a big hit for the condition. Still a great bass though just not for me Cheers Dave EDIT: Forgot to put the link!! DOH!

Welcome to the forum Bill.... Where are you from originally and what took you off to South Wales ?(ressists the temptation of a sheep joke!) Cheers mate! Dave

[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='121067' date='Jan 15 2008, 07:32 PM']cool... a built-in bottle opener... I'd buy it just for that!!! [/quote] Cheesy, but definately handy!! I`ve seen one of these on ebay before. Was asking the seller a few questions about the bass when it was suddenly pulled. Mustve got an offer he couldn`t refuse....

[quote name='Bassassin' post='119644' date='Jan 13 2008, 06:02 PM']Definitely a suss looking duplicate listing - but the real mystery's how the fark I missed such a glowing example of JapCrap absurdity! I had one of them, way back. Jon.[/quote] I had the A10 and a friend of mine has an A20 prototype... Hand made, neck through in electric pink!!! The guitars are magic so I can only assume the basses are good aswell. Did it sound good/playwell?

[quote name='jono b' post='119672' date='Jan 13 2008, 06:30 PM']A very special instrument for very special people." They're not wrong![/quote] I think you would have to be "special" to want to pay 500 quid for an arsehole of a bass like this!!

[quote name='ARGH' post='119347' date='Jan 12 2008, 11:40 PM']Is it just for 4 stringers???[/quote] Naw mate.....your version is like the Argos catalogue!

[quote name='Perry' post='119336' date='Jan 12 2008, 11:03 PM']I have it, if anyone wants a copy I can email it to them. It does work, it's a lot more easier thank you think.[/quote] I`ll have a look aswell if you dont mind mate!

[quote name='beerdragon' post='119139' date='Jan 12 2008, 02:35 PM']Here's a link [url="http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/content.asp?cpage=About%20Us"]http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/content.asp?cpage=About%20Us[/url] what kind of button?[/quote] A small white one I found outside... Thanks for the link...

[quote name='Beedster' post='119126' date='Jan 12 2008, 02:14 PM']telling me in front of other customers that he wouldn't do any work on my bass because I bought it from ebay and that ebay is destroying the music business therefopre my using ebay is literally putting him out of business (despite the fact that the bass in question was an early 70's Precision and despite the fact I didn't see any early 70's Precisions amongst the Staggs and OLPs in his shop and despite the fact I was actually bringing him business),[/quote] Sounds like a right twat!! Does anyone know if Wizard do active jazz pups and preamps? Also cant find the website...does anyone have a link? Oh! and does anyone have a shirt to go with this button?......

[quote name='TheBigBeefChief' post='115860' date='Jan 7 2008, 10:19 PM']Yeah, the nut looks pretty snug. Here's hoping.[/quote] Is the string wound quite high on the tuning peg? This would mean theres not enough angle for the nut to work properly Just a thought Loving the new avatar mate! You should make your band all go naked except for a red bunnet!

[quote name='Bassassin' post='114481' date='Jan 6 2008, 12:51 AM']Four lives, he perforates to you! Looks gorgeous. Jon.[/quote] I hope he doesn`t try and perforate me!!..... I used a language converter to at least try and converse as his english is terrible! Hope I didn`t say anything nasty about his mum as I`ve no idea what I sent back to him Couldn`t paste this link but here`s the item number for the laquered zebrano : 290185585383 I think that would be smart with black hardware and a maple neck.....

[quote name='tonybassplayer' post='114217' date='Jan 5 2008, 06:12 PM']Learning Black Dog for an audition on Monday night and when it goes to the second part of the bass line ( just as it moves away from the initial riff ) it just sounds wrong and out of time/sync. I know that it can't be because that is how it is supposed to sound but when you listen to it to try to learn it is not easy. Anyone else had problems learning it ??[/quote] Follow the guitar.....then if it sounds crap, look at the drummer and shake your head Just keep playing along with it untill you can feel the changes.
