Oooo I like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-TSB550-Through-Neck-Bass-1980-MIJ-Matsumoku-Brill-/280689880159?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item415a6bac5f"]this[/url] - bit much for my pockets but lovely all the same.

There was a Westone Thunder IA on Leeds' Gumtree last week, great basses whether you're a beginner or not. Good for pop/punk as well, nice and bright with good active controls. Best bit..........£65!!!! Can't go wrong.

I started on trumpet and then French horn, but bass I chose later because I loved the sound, if bass didn't exist I'd go drums or back to brass, guitar has never appealed to me though. BASS IS ACE!

Apart from the tuners, I couldn't see anything that looked particularly convincing as being evidence of a 50-year-old bass, and I've been lucky enough to own a number of instruments from that period (mainly Hofners, rather than Fenders, mind). The description provided seemed chiefly concerned with throwing the burden of proof (or otherwise) onto the buyer. Yet, for all I know, this is an entirely genuine auction of a very rare bass in truly superb condition. Sad, isn't it?[/quote] You didn't think the wiring looked 50 years old?

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1247460' date='May 27 2011, 06:41 PM']The phrase "Chops" is exceeded in its ghastliness only by "Woodsheddin' " and "Dialing in my tone". That is all.[/quote] So I can opt out of 'chopsness' on the grounds of taste? Excellent news!

So, what makes up your 'chops'? Is it just showing how versatile you are, how fast or just whether you've got a lot of hair on the sides of yer face??

I used this video to work it out - the tone's not great and it's not on fretless but that just makes it easier to see what he's playing Edit: having watched it again, I can't believe I used this - it's pretty shoddy after the beginning - I think I just listened to the actual track after the beginning bit.

There's a tc 450 head and a 2x10 in the for sale section for £700.

[quote name='silddx' post='1244200' date='May 25 2011, 01:18 PM']Err, it seems utterly pointless to me. Would someone kindly explain what I'm missing here please.[/quote] Fun? A sense of the ridiculous?

Aloe Blacc - I need a dollar. Edit: Although it may not be your style - it's a great song!

Ishibashi, or a mysterious second hand shop tucked away in the back streeets of Tokyo filled to the brim with weird Japcrap....

Sold a Westone Thunder 1A to Steve, great comms and no fuss with the payment. Recommended!

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1241503' date='May 23 2011, 01:02 PM'] [/quote] Wow - this is amazing! And if we're deviating from Rock, how about the crazy little intro to 'You're so Vain'?

He messaged me and said he missed the 12hour deadline so he's planning on refunding the winning bid and accepting the negative feedback. Silly boy sent me it as an Ebay message....

I think it'll help if you hold the keyboard to your chest facing away from you, type only using your left hand and press the keys down REALLY hard.....

[quote name='paul_5' post='1238746' date='May 20 2011, 09:27 PM']bought this body andneck for a tenner the other day. It's had a really amateur defret but plays well enough. [attachment=80507:19052011066.jpg] Needs new electronics and machine heads too. Anyone have any clue where i might find replacements?[/quote] Pop on over to the Westone forums and ask around there - still a good buy!
