  1. [quote name='rjb' post='501439' date='May 30 2009, 09:40 AM']Being a huge Talk Talk fan I obviously hate the No Doubt version! For me the playing on the original is far superior. In any case have fun with it, it's great bass line. [/quote] I'm with you on that also, nothing beats the Talk Talk version. Big Talk Talk and Paul Webb fan also. If you want a challenge, try learning Living In Another World. I am very nearly there.
  2. Congrats Bilbo and well done. Let us know how it goes.
  3. [quote name='bubinga5' post='501230' date='May 29 2009, 08:55 PM']I agree with Linus,... MM, or Lakland,.... in the ones that ive played are very consistent, and always very well made. my stingray 5 is the best made bass i own...Like Linus said...Fenders are sometimes, very hit and miss..For me Cij or Mij Fenders are always good..Period.. Unless its USA Custom shop, because the one i got is supreme. I have said this before..Japanese made instruments are so well made..they seem to have a great attitude towards quality, IMHO...Why do you think Roger Sadowsky went there for his of shore production.[/quote] Yeah great point, Japanese Fenders are excellent basses and usually top quality. If you must have Fender, try and source a Jap one. You'll save some money over a US one and the quality should be excellent.
  4. [quote name='KERMITNT' post='500872' date='May 29 2009, 01:16 PM']too skiny m8 too skiny where is the booty? [/quote] Yeah but she'll put it on when she gets a bit older. Her face though is just yummy scrummy.
  5. [quote name='noelk27' post='500764' date='May 29 2009, 12:11 PM']The letter designations, as used by Fender, refer to the width at the nut, not the shape of the neck. An A-neck is one and one-half inches, a B-neck one and five-eighths inches, and a C-neck one and three-quarter inches. I've never heard of a D-neck Fender. For shape, literal descriptions have always been used by Fender, hence "U shape", "Soft V", "Hard V", "Oval", with additional information such as "ridge-edge" and "round-over" to describe the qualities of the shoulder.[/quote] Ah ok, thanks for that, you learn something new everyday. I'm still waiting to learn that keira Knightley really fancies me but so far its taking a while. I can't wait though
  6. [quote name='Ajoten' post='500801' date='May 29 2009, 12:34 PM']Fat neck one of the main attractions in fact. But want a passive instrument, so the Stingrays are out. This is why I lean somewhat to Fender, as so few other brands do "superior" passive basses.[/quote] If you want a fat neck and a Fender then the Mike Dirnt is an ace bass. I played one some months back and it sounded superb. Get it in black and put a black scratchplate on it and it will look amazing. Passive also.
  7. [quote name='dave_bass5' post='500729' date='May 29 2009, 11:46 AM']Again, the clue is in the title...............Ashdown EDIT:Damn, just seen the other replies. Oh well, safety in numbers etc.[/quote] HAHAHA typical Mark Bass owner, slow in keeping up with progress
  8. I really like a thin flat neck as found on the Duck Dunn bass. Is this known as a D shape neck? My Fender Jazz I had was a little thicker and curvier. Is this known as a C Shape? If so, whats a musicman and precision got and whats an A shape neck?
  9. Its funny as I have come to the conclusion in the last two weeks that after all my 20 years of playing, the Jazz bass is my ideal bass. I started out playing an ESP Jazz which is the best sounding Jazz I had heard (did not know it at the time) but always longed for a Musicman. Eventually got one and loved it. I then moved onto a 1977 Fender Precision simply because it sounded better than the Musicman. I have now changed to play with finger after 20 years playing with a pick and its been a bit of a stuggle. The musicman is ok but the neck is just too chunky for me these days. I also have a Lakland Duck Dunn Precision that come with a Jazz neck and its awsome but the sound is not right for the music I play these days. Sounds awsome with a pick though. The bass that feels the best and most comfortable for me with fingers is my old trusty ESP Jazz. So I am going to use that as my backup and get a Lakland Darryl Jones as my main gigging bass. So a big thumbs up for the jazz bass.
  10. For your money, you could get a Stingray or Lakland secondhand and the quality of these basses are very high. Yamaha also. Fender can be hit or miss although I have never had a poorly made Fender. The Dirnt Fender does have a very very fat neck so be aware of that.
  11. [quote name='The Funk' post='500512' date='May 29 2009, 02:08 AM']Hah! Who gets royalties for those? Darryl Jones or Adam Clayton? [url="http://www.basscentral.com/lakeland_usa/skyline_daryl_jones.shtml"]Half-way down[/url]? EDIT: I can tell [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=50151"]this[/url] just won't do for you, will it? [/quote] Wow, thanks. Shame it is in the US. I thought about the US 75 Re-issue and its second on my list but I think I just prefer the Lakland. Its cheaper also
  12. [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='500550' date='May 29 2009, 07:07 AM']Still waiting for pictures of your wife........ [/quote] HEHEHE I think she would kill me if I posted a picture of her but if it makes the sale I may be tempted I guess its depends on how desperate I am to get the money for my Lakland. Post picture, get a sale, buy Lakland but then die a horrible death from wife, wife gets Lakland
  13. [quote name='Hodge' post='500489' date='May 29 2009, 12:57 AM']Have to agree, I lusted after one of these back in the late 80s or whenever it was they came out. I remember Clare Kenny used to use one with Shakespears Sister..... maybe Sinead O'Connor too...not 100% sure. This is a particularly pretty one (always been a sucker for honeyburst). I wish this wasn't so cheap...my head is telling me that I've spent far too much already this year on bass stuff...but my heart is saying "go on....you know you want it...and it's less than 200 quid...........go on"[/quote] I remember Clare Kenny. She had beautiful red hair if i remember correctly. I wonder what she is up to these days. In true Father Ted style, "Go on, Go on, Go on"
  14. Lakland made a very limited run of Darryl Jones basses as played by Adam Clayton of U2. It comes in natural with black block inlays and a maple neck. They only made 30 of them. So what are the chances of ever finding one for sale? No chance? I so want one.
  15. [quote name='obbm' post='499914' date='May 28 2009, 02:51 PM'] Glad you worked it out. It lasted on Ebay for about 24-hours ..... .... a week later the new owner blew it up. Isn't warranty wonderful.[/quote] HAHA no way?? How on earth did he do that?
  16. [quote name='sk8' post='499831' date='May 28 2009, 01:28 PM']Good Point, Well presented. Had a spoon moment! [/quote] HEHE don't worry we all get them. Your one was just today
  17. [quote name='sk8' post='499795' date='May 28 2009, 01:01 PM']did this sell?[/quote] I think the clues in the title
  18. [quote name='bubinga5' post='499258' date='May 27 2009, 08:21 PM']I think these are fabulous basses for the money..A real joy to play, with a great tone!! Seriously for £180, you can not go wrong!!! Have a bump Linus..[/quote] Thanks bubinga5
  19. I put a set of Bartolini's in my ESP Jazz and so far to date, I have not heard a better sounding Jazz bass. Awsome tone and attack. Probably going to get a set for my next Jazz.
  20. [quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='498309' date='May 26 2009, 09:25 PM']Ah man, i'd love to buy this cab, it would go perfect with my Ashdown EBM180 Combo. What head have you been playing through this? and what other cabinet is with it?[/quote] Hi, I was playing an Ashdown MAG 300H head through it (Now Sold) along with a MAG 2 x 10 (Not For Sale) which is the cab you can see sitting on top of it. It's only ever been played at home in my front room so always ran very quietly (terraced house ) Hope that helps.
  21. [quote name='steve-soar' post='498265' date='May 26 2009, 08:08 PM']£100 speaker deal alert. Almost on a par with this mega deal. [url="http://www.wackywavinginflatablearmflailingtubeman.com/"]http://www.wackywavinginflatablearmflailingtubeman.com/[/url][/quote] HAHAHAHA
  22. ***** NOW SOLD ***** For sale is my Bass Collection SB320. I bought this for my wife to learn on back in December 2007. I got it from fellow basschatter Greenking so you can be sure it is in tip top condition. The bass is in mint condition and has not been played that often due to my wife becoming pregnant soon after receiving it (The bass, not the other thing ) It's now served its purpose and its time to move her on (the bass, not the wife although I would be open to offers on her ) The bass is extremely light, sounds wonderfull, plays perfectly and is in honey sunburst. It has gold hardware with the Gotoh tuners, P/J pickup configuration with SGC written on the pickups and SGC Nanyo Bass Collection on the battery cover. The serial number is also a sticker on the battery cover and reads 953293 which dates the bass back to 1995. I paid £180 plus Postage from Greenking and this is what I would like to get for this wonderful bass. It also comes complete with a gigbag. I am based in Surrey so collection is welcome. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more details, pictures etc. Thanks.
  23. *** SOLD *** Ashdown MAG 1 x 15 Deep Cabinet Rated at 8 Ohms with a power handling of 250 watts, the new MAG115 1 x 15" cabinet is now built 'Extra Deep' and loaded with an Ashdown BlueLine speaker for exceptional attack, clarity and low-end performance. Protection is provided by tough black carpet covering and new steel grilles. The cab is in mint condition, has never been out of the house or gigged and come complete with official Ashdown cover, manual and original boxes/packaging. I would like around £100 or best offer plus postage. I am based in Surrey so collection is welcome. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more details, pictures etc. Thanks.

Still smiling from Paul Webbs comment
  25. I bought the Stagg rack case in the end and its pretty good actually. A little flimsy but very well made and as I tend to look after my stuff, it should do me for now. Thanks for the help everyone.
