    Only the groove is important.

    I don't care who's considered overrated. It has little relevance to anything. If a popular bassist managed to inadvertently introduce the instrument to a kid, then that's more than good enough for me. [quote name='matty589' post='186880' date='Apr 27 2008, 11:26 PM'](how can someone who was nearly late for a Miles Davis gig because he was taking a balloon ride not be cool!)[/quote] Thank you for enlightening me on how cool MM is.

    Where be thee? I closed and re-opened the thread thinking, *'I bet that could muster up some reggae tones, I wonder if he's local'*

    Hot gear. It's great to hear that a Mustang is your workhorse. Why do you prefer it? I want to try a short-scale again soon. How does the lipstick'd jazz sound?

    [quote name='nick' post='187647' date='Apr 28 2008, 10:17 PM']Most of those, with exception of the Guild, are a bit pricey aren't they? Nice Commodore semi here: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320241755711&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=011[/url][/quote] Aye, but as I said, they give an idea for what to look out for.

    Giving a style of bass is a big help, as it will help people visualise colours they like from memory.
  8. paul, the
    Ohh, a bit fancy. I would never have noticed the lack of strap buttons.

    I see loads of basses similar in style to Hagstroms in that price range. [url="http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&sacur=0&sorefinesearch=1&saslt=2&from=R14&saobfmts=exsif&saaff=afdefault&fcl=3&frpp=200&fss=1&rv=1&satitle=%28bass%2C+basso%2C+bajo%2C+Bassgitarre%2C+e-Bassgitarre%2C+basse%2C+bass*%29+-%28synth%2C+bassoon%2C+bin%2C+bins%2C+sub%2C+subs%2C+Accordion%2C+tuner%2C+drums%2C+Akkordeon%2C+drum%2C+pearl%29&sacat=619%26catref%3DC6&floc=1&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3&sadis=200&fpos=DT4+0NR&fbfmt=1&sabfmts=2&itemcondn=1&ga10244=10426&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&sabdlo=&sabdhi=&saprclo=&saprchi=&saslop=2&sasl=music-outlet-shop&fsop=2%26fsoo%3D2&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp="]This[/url] is my every BIN bass search where I often see them. You'll get an idea of what to be looking for. It's usually German sellers that have them.

    [quote name='eubassix' post='186781' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:17 PM']Aha - I think I sussed it (?) Paul, I would highly recommend it: education is both cheap and very good (both local and internationalschools/colleges + Singapore University). English is the first language (of both education and Govt. plus the major newspapers and TV) - although you'll find that most Singaporeans tend to speak a second or third language (Mandarin plus other Chinese dialects, Bahasa Malay, Tamil / other Indian dialects). Climate takes some getting used to: it's in the mid 30's virtually all year . which seems nice; but the relative humidity is constanly in the 90's - that's the 'killer'.[/quote] Aye, you got it. Sorry for being unclear. Ah, yes, I'm not good with humidity, but perhaps I could acclimatise. I know the National Uni is considered one of the best in the world for technology, and at about a fourth of the price of Western competitors. And the growth in perceived quality since only the previous year is astounding. I like the idea of maybe moving over, staying, and getting a Literature degree one day. Anyway, it sounds exciting, and I wish you all the best. Glad to hear that you'll stay on BC and keep us updated. paul.

    +1, do those sexy basses some justice. Welcome to Basschat.

    Welcome to the forum, Jon. There's an [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18301"]Epifani 310UL[/url] in the fs section on BC if you're looking for something a bit swish. Cheers for the generous intro and best of luck with the gear search.
  14. paul, the
    A fairly sly way of going about things. You'll know what you'll like after a while too.

    [quote name='Linus27' post='186720' date='Apr 27 2008, 08:09 PM']Whats finger-picky?[/quote] Alternating notes like an acoustic guitarist (bass under melody). Reminds me of that bit in All Right Now.

    [quote name='dlloyd' post='186795' date='Apr 27 2008, 09:35 PM']I like this response to the original video...

    MySpace might help you in the search for like-minded individuals. edit-that's not a suggestion, I just hope some more ppl come to fruition through MyS'.
  19. paul, the
    Singapore. Cool. I'd quite like to end up there, myself, one day. The education's cheap and the English is good, as is my understanding.
  20. paul, the
    ooh, finger-picky, very nice.
  21. paul, the
    Just in case you don't nab Ampeg, you ought to be able to get a Peavey or Hartke head and a 210 or 115 for that price.
  22. paul, the
    Cripes! Lovely stuff! mm dulcet wonders.
  23. paul, the
    I like Suit of Lights before the rock n roll chords. I'm into the eastern folklore at the mo'. I think you're slightly mad and long for more band members. I very much like the guitar on Wanting Wanton You. --- The compliment sandwich.
  24. paul, the
    (above) Lead voxs ought to have sympathies for those who cannot sing in tune. Not that I'd remember the lyrics anyway. I'd be far more up for Zeppelin wailing. What's that band where they met up in Australia, but are actually all Brits? The bassist/lead vocals played a blue Ric and were on TFI a few times.
  25. paul, the
    I like it. Although the DiMarzio pup might be cream. Not that I'd ever take those sexy covers off. Mmm, the pull of the unknown.
