It was about 8 years old, which by the standards of the earlier Line 6 stuff is basically antique

Fair enough!

I see you are a Stokie...well live there at any rate!..

I am playing at The crown in Red Street on Saturday...not that well known as a music pub but it's my old Local.
Have you played at The Museum in the last 4 years? ...chances are I would have seen you play,I love the bands that play in there!

Now you see I can understand a HH being described as "very old" but Line 6 ? ........I must be getting old........

Mind you My first bands PA was a 100w Miles Platting

Search ...."studio clear out 15000"....I used Google ( other search engines are available ) and click on the Loot listing ...


It tells you what he is selling and that he is leaving the country.


Do the mods on here (and gearslutz etc) that have pulled the ad know something we don't?

Just curious .....I am NOT trying to get at the mods.....I wish I had £15,000

I hope that works if not PM me and I will send you their phone number and e-mail address.

Hey well done! sounds good to me..

keep on keepin on as the song says!

I just want to let anybody who is interested know that i have just fitted a new scratchplate to my 1990 MIJ precision.....

I bought it via E-bay from Guitars Electric... great people to deal with by the way ...now to my point


[color=#000000][size=3]Their "blurb" says..."designed to fit Mexican and USA made basses"...Well it fit my Japanese made one perfectly [/size][/color][color=#000000][size=3] [/size][/color]
I thought it was worth risking fifteen quidish to find out!

Thanks Bluejay....I think I managed some of that there 'tinternet voodoo and its on the Basschat page now

There was a photo of their van posted on facebook....I shared it....I will go and "friend" basschat and share again.

Being the useless Ludite that I am I don't know how to do this ....oh well I am sure you are all clever enough to find it for yourselves if you want to.

I would say the bass on coldplays' fix you is prety integral to the sound and feel of the song....I actually quite like cold play and U2...I think the bass just "fits" ........
having played in a Stereophonics tribute band where i refused to copy the original bass lines because they were so boring, I suppose I could nominate Richaed Jones as one who is "poor"

However what he plays fits the songs also ..and I heard him being interviewed once and he said he played what he thought was a "blinding bass line" to wireless radio in the studio but Kelly Jones hated it and made him play root notes ....

So who knows your "poor" bass player may just be following orders!

Oh it's ok ...I'm a Dad....I can do dancin'....

Our singer sent me a message saying she really wants to do this song ....at a showcase we are doing on the 12th Jan, so could i look at it .....never heard of it as i am a boring old fart that listens to planet Rock

Glad to hear its an easy bass line ...I guess I have to hit youtube

I only ever wanted to play Bass....just liked the sound/feel of it.....I bought a guitar from a catalogue and took the two thin strings off

I loved Budgie and remember the Eureka moment when I copied Burke's line to baby please don't go....Finally I managed to play a song.
So it's Burke Shelly for me ...

Bit of a cheek expecting people to come along for free . . . even worse expecting them to pay for the privilege.

All the usual "classic rock" stuff for anyone that likes that sort of thing.
Come and say hi .

White horse Harborne, Brum tomorrow if anyone is free and wants to say hello!

I play for free every gig lately...

.oh we get paid but as i live in Nottingham and the gigs are in Coventry or Birmingham I book a hotel so that I can have a beer or three!

so petrol.beer,hotel....much more than the 50 quid I get from the gig....but my girlfriend ( I want to wite.. comes with me... here but I know what you lot are like ) goes to the gigs too and we just treat it as a night out

Just browsing this thread and drooling over all the 50's p basses I have just realised that I kinda have a birth year bass and had never realised the significance!
Back in 1992 (I think) I bought, new,my current p bass a japanese '57 reissue, Black with white scratch plate and maple neck...the serial number says it was made in 1989 but thats just confusing !!.......I love it even if it is very "neck heavy" ......It's the closest I will ever get to a 1957 bass!

I just got home with the other 1153.....
Also no problems ...nice guy to deal with.

Regards
Ray

+1 on the I can't understand a word he says......I gave up half way through the Keith interview
Love their music though.

Be selective about which one you buy (there are some terrible examples out there), but you could find a stunning bass, I did...

Here's my 1978 BG 4001. The thinnest neck and 8.1 pounds with perfect balance. Astonishing Rickenbacker but took me 20 years of playing quite a few heavy, lifeless duds with thick necks to find it

Thanks for posting that......I now know what my Arbiter,purchased new in 1975 and sold in 1977) was a copy of

Its a pity you are a bass player because I would love to join a band with someone who has your attitude....

good luck mate (though I sense you won't need it)
