[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1429733105' post='2754479'] Obviously reliced [/quote] ...and this! Why oh why do they bother?! I remember reading an ad on eBay for a bass that the seller had lovingly reliced himself. He proudly stated that the pick guard had been nailed to the outside of his shed for the last three months. I mean, seriously...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429521637' post='2752127'] I don't like shltty brown, sunburst or black either. In fact (and I'm sure I've never said this on here before), I only really like white basses. Or at least basses that are white, arctic white, olympic white, blonde, vintage white, antique white, cream, ivory, bone, seashell, flax, vanilla or linen. So quite a wide range to choose from, really... [/quote] +1 to that. All my basses are either white or natural ashy coloured. Except my violin bass. But a white violin bass would look just plain wrong. The string spacing is an instant dismissal for me too if it doesn't feel right. I had a Thumb VI for many years that was always a struggle to play due to the spacing (and the tree-trunk of a neck!). Have decided that five strings is now my upper limit...

It's truly a thing of beauty. Great stories behind it too. Must be a real treat to have her home once again! -
Ian bought my Looperlative LP1 today. Came and met me at the local station, great communication and a lovely chap. A pleasure to do business with

They've got a couple at The Gallery at the moment. They usually have at least one in so you should head over there once you arrive!

I am seriously scaling down my FX rig to a select couple of pedals so I'm selling my trusty Line 6 Pod X3 Pro rack multi effects unit (which I believe has way more tone options than the newer PodHD version) plus a FBV Shortboard MKii (in a proper Line 6 gig bag); plus a Gator 3U shallow rack. I'd prefer collection from Peckham SE15 but could also deliver within sensible distance for petrol money or meet halfway. Price for the whole shebang = £320 Will split... Pod X3 Pro = £200 FBV Shortboard plus gigbag = £90 Gator 3U shallow rack = £50 [attachment=190378:IMG_0008.JPG] [attachment=190379:IMG_0009.JPG] [attachment=189798:IMG_0007.jpg] [attachment=189797:IMG_0006.jpg] [attachment=189795:IMG_0004.JPG] *SOLD!*

Incredible find! Love this... -
[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1429107214' post='2748068'] Yes, the sound of smugness. Also, I used to like Prefab Sprout and The Divine Comedy. Since ripping all my CDs to iTunes, I now immediately hit skip whenever one of their tracks come up. [/quote] Not the ones with me on bass though, obviously...

Sight Reading - Accidental Over Bar line Question
simonlittle replied to dustandbarley's topic in Theory and Technique
The accidental applies to all octaves of the same note. The natural sign after the tied note is technically unnecessary but is the remind the player that the note is now naturalised. In proper classical notation that would not be there but in more modern notation it's often added for clarity. Personally I prefer it to be there as it avoids confusion when sight-reading. If I was writing the chart I would include it, but possibly in brackets... Hope that helps! -
I'd just stick a jazz neck on a proper standard P-bass. I much prefer the feel of a P-bass neck and have thought about switching to that on my jazz. Jazz necks feel like a guitar to me. But then I do play upright bass half the time...

Fantastic!! -
[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1427889267' post='2735461'] There are some good Facebook pages/groups where you can sell gear free. They have been ok for me, for example I couldn't sell my Thumb here but it went quickly on FB. UK Bass gear for sale trade, Bass market UK etc. [/quote] What Karlfer said! I sold my Warwick through one of those groups last week. Very easy and totally free of course...

That looks pretty nifty indeed. I can't bear spending sll that money on Sibelius for the rare occasions I actually need it. Was considering Sibelius First...

*Sold!* I'm selling my virtually brand new Warwick WCA 408 LW CE Cabinet, used only three times!! I bought this a couple of months ago to replace my old 115ND cab in the hope of getting a broader set of sounds. It sounds absolutely fantastic (especially with the new LWA1000 amp) but is a little heavier than I'd hoped. I live in a first floor flat and my car is often quite a walk so I need to change this for something a little lighter. It only weighs 22kg but I am too tempted by the idea of the Aguilar SL112's which can be lifted one-handed! Here's the specs: [size=4][color=#272727]Warwick WCA 408 Celestion Lightweight Cabinet, Bass Cabinet, 600 Watt, 8 Ohms, 4 x 8 "Celestion Speaker with 4" Celestion Neodymium Horn, SPL 94dB, Frequency range: 65 Hz - 20 kHz, bass reflex enclosure, robust metal grill, 2 x 6, 3mm jack coax combo jacks (lockable), dimensions whd: 520 x 540 x 400 mm, weight: 22 kg[/color][/size] As I said this is virtually brand new.[font=Open Sans, Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica][color=#272727] Cheapest these go for (and I don't think anybody stocks them yet in the UK) is £508.24 from Thomann. I've used this on three gigs only and looked after it well so it's pretty much mint. Looking for £400 or will trade for an Aguilar SL112 in the same condition. I'm only selling it to get one of these so no other trade offers please![/color][/font] [attachment=188032:IMG_6766.JPG] [attachment=188033:IMG_6767.JPG] [attachment=188034:IMG_6768.JPG] [attachment=188035:IMG_6769.JPG]
