  1. [quote name='7string' post='210791' date='Jun 1 2008, 10:08 PM']It definately seems that the Urge Mk1's are sought after so I'll get some pics together, put it up fs/ft and see what happens...[/quote]

    What a sneaky thread title. Someone's clued up to a bit of business psychology :) .

  2. It's interesting.

    I think we normally interpret foreign words according to our pronunciation of our alphabet, and change the word accordingly. Thus Paris becomes "Pa-riss."

    However, I would pronounce a 'j' in a German word as a 'y': 'jagd' becomes "yahgd," (I think).

    I have no idea how or why, or even if there is any rules. It probably just ends up with cultural acceptability, like most things.

  3. Welcome to Basschat.

    Your bass should be OK as long as the setup isn't terrible. If it's needlessly uncomfortable to play, or is littered with dead notes/intonation issues, I'd get right onto that squier P.

  4. Welcome Tom. Lovely intro. I've already enjoyed some of your posts, looking forward to hearing more from you.

    +1. I was eating porridge. A mouthful is now in my nose.

  5. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='206356' date='May 26 2008, 09:22 AM']I'm confused... is it a Fender?

    It's Trigger's broom again! Neck, bridge, tuners all replaced so the body and electrics are original...

    Don't get me wrong it is a tasty looking instrument but the neck could be off anything and who says the body is Fender?[/quote]

    I think he does.

    He swapped the neck for a fretless.

    Who cares whether it's a Fender or not. He probably only advertises it thusly because it'll get him more views.

    If I put a Fender machine head on my bass, does it become a Fender?
    If I change a screw on a Fender, does it no longer become a Fender?

    I don't think you can really do that, and I don't think it really matters. The resale value is what it is.
