paul, the

I love how many replies intro threads are getting nowadays.

We're an awesome forum.

Hi Matthew! Vikinging. Awesome.

Welcome to BC, Graeme. I dig the avatar, it reminds me of something, but I can't put a finger on it at the moment.

Sweet bayass D.

Nice one, Parker! Aren't you a tall chap, though? Did the short scale feel odd at first?

That Sterling is gorgeous.

Hey Nautilus. Welcome to forum. Love those Spectors.

Welcome, trev. A broken Ashdown isn't too surprising. I think the Hartke will be a much better match to your Warwick bass.

Yummy. Reminds me the natural 'Ray is my favourite.

I don't want the P to catch up on votes. Part of the draw is its underdog/not as much of a whore status.

Welcome to the forum, plasson.

I don't think it's worth the hassle. I would probably only buy/sell from a member I felt I knew very well, had shown they weren't after a quick buck, and generally that they had integrity.

Money makes people ugly and stressed.

Welcome to the forum, Jasper.

I was laughing until I saw the Washburn, then I went "ooh." I like the tele headstock and the interesting body.

Not enough to buy it, obviously . Is there any other P basses (tail pg style) with a tele headstock?

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Wil. It grains a little as I have a brother called Will who lives in Bristol. A banjo player, though .

Best of luck with your gear and your health and safety.

I voted P. They've got a humble cool that the J will never understand.

Suddenly everything makes sense.

If there's a crop, that would be the cream.

Something tells me Jon shoveled us the fuglers and kept that one to himself .

[quote name='dood' post='190168' date='May 1 2008, 11:47 PM']I hate every bass with dead strings... eugghhoo!!! just not my cup of tea!



- oh speaking of which.. anyone fancy a brew?[/quote]

Even with new strings it sounds plain and indecisive.

I hate my bass. It sounds so dull.

I've only had poor experience with Encore and Stagg. But apparently Stagg have sorted out their quality now.


I don't like basses with an inherently 'cutting', 'hard', 'trebly' tone; so would probably leave some of the stereotypically sterile basses alone.

How do you work out the value of an instrument?


I was looking at those Arias and Grecos from Tokyo (one P went for about £117 +importing fees etc.). I figured that I was probably basing my perceived value on the basses he had previously sold and currently had up for sale (BIN).

Is this up?

You really needed that ego boost, Sean.

You rarely see palantino(sp?) eubs over here.
