    I hate my bass. It sounds so dull.
  2. paul, the
    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.
  3. paul, the
    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.

    [quote name='Adee' post='189980' date='May 1 2008, 08:32 PM']especially one of this quality and has classic looks too Black / Black / Maple too ![/quote] I can't deny Lakland quality, and it looks great. Where are the Fralins it was born with?

    It's the tone that impresses me. That is to say: the tone of a Modulus Flea is very impressive.

    What a bunch of fugglers. Sell us something tasty, Jon .

    I think they should use the money to subsidise: book vouchers, bus passes, school meals.... That way it isn't seen as a reward, which in itself is insulting. It should also be on a gradient, not just cut off points. I use to not eat lunch and save the money for bass books/gear/lessons. I don't recommend it.

    Ooh, looks good. Love that passive tone. Deep.

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='189490' date='May 1 2008, 09:49 AM']Maybe this website is to blame for the UK's bass player population suffering from incurable gas??[/quote] Sounds like more choice in the second hand market, to me. Congrats on getting in mags, guys.

    I'm sure it wanted to go. The jazz knew the day that those Precisions were going to gang up and kick its ass were nigh.

    I don't understand why someone would put Villex pups in a P. Surely there should be some paradoxical force that would cause the earth to implode if such a thing were ever to occur. Did any of the bass's "clients" do a sound sample. I kind of want to buy it just to find out why no one is keeping it.
  16. paul, the
    I haven't got anything to say, just wanted to share Stagg love ('though I haven't got one yet) and glad to hear it was a quick fix.
  17. paul, the
    I'd pop round some music shops and keep going until you find something you genuinely enjoy playing. Trade in the basses that aren't right for you.
  18. paul, the
    Is that just me? I feel a bit special

    [quote name='queenofthedepths' post='189036' date='Apr 30 2008, 05:32 PM']Iii think they should do away with child benefit (an incentive to over-populate the world!) and invest the money in the arts i.e. support live music venues by not taxing ticket sales and stuff... give me a chance to get paid for some gigs, in other words! More money for bassists all round![/quote] But the boundaries between making children and making music are ever so cloudy.
  20. paul, the
    I think the Sandberg PM5 could fill some boots. Except for fretless/acoustic, obviously.

    Welcome Ben. Dave Pegg's old amp? Cool!

    Block Inlays

    paul, the replied to ritch's topic in Bass Guitars

    [quote name='kennyrodg' post='188472' date='Apr 29 2008, 10:09 PM']you could look [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/BuildaBass_W0QQssPageNameZstrkQ3amefsQ3amesstQQtZkm"]here[/url]. ive dealt with goerdt a couple of times before,he's very helpfull and his customer service 1st class.he's in the US so shipping costs may be an issue. i got a jazz of him last year.it had a maple neck with mop block inlays and was stunning. drop him a line as i know he has other stuff knocking about that doesnt go on his shop page.he also knows a luthier who can get fender necks,worth a look see imo.[/quote] Interesting parts. Although I can't stand the 'J-bass' font.

    [quote name='Jobiebass' post='188318' date='Apr 29 2008, 06:55 PM']quite annoying, im 24 now, only been playing just over 2 years and there are 16 year olds with better knowledge and a HELL of a lot better then me. :'( Im happy with my gear for now for a noob, see my sig for my stuff. suppose I should start looking for a band, but my friends are either stupidly amazing and im nowhere neer thier level cause they have been giging for 10+ years, or my other mates "play guitar" and I ask them to play a D and they play an F# or something. Mehh, ill stick to being a bedroom bassist[/quote] Comparing yourself with others is the only thing that is holding you back.
  24. paul, the
    It's just marketing hype and conditioned economic propaganda. Your jazz is a fine bass. I'd put amps and cabs first.
  25. paul, the
    Love the look! A little dubious of the sound it would produce.
