  1. I owned and gigged an NS6 Euro but I prefer the solid maple NS5CRs. The Euros are broadly warmer with the alder wings but the maple wings have more growl and punch. On small stages I don't miss the warmth and if I ever need it there's always a bass control on the bass or the amp to tweak. But the narrow band of mid punch can't be replicated on eq.
  2. This evening I fitted a pair of Aaron Armstrong's custom wound 70's jazz pickups to my Celinder J Update and it sounds phenomenal. Huge lows and a really nice woody high end. For the first three or four minutes I had to double take the bass, it sounded like a genuine 70's jazz. 75 quid per pick up though so might be out of your price range.
  3. I just want to say a huge thanks to Bluejay for representin' BC this year and to Barrie for inviting us sit in with Bassgear. Not only did Bluejay donate her time but she also organised the banners. I think next year we're going to have to look seriously at being bona fide exhibitors. I would have been there but flights and resignation and contracts and tax things and logistics worked conspired against me by a week. Still...there's always the SE Bass Bash
  4. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=V23AlSa-9As"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=V23AlSa-9As[/url] All of the above for getting down on this bad boy too.
  5. Lovely post and some great points.
  6. lol
  7. Get IN! [color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]RRP: [/size][/font][/color][b]£3,799.00[/b][color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2] - You Save: [/size][/font][/color][b]£2.00[/b] There was a burgundy mist 64 jazz bass on NZ Trade Me for $8000 last week. It had a tortie pickguard tho which looked fussy but it seemed all original as far as an ignorant person of my limited capacity to appreciate could tell.
  8. I have a soft spot for Lakkies, would love to try one out in 30 years time after its taken a bit of road wear.
  9. Looks cute! Would be a good recording set up but, like the Warwick Hellborg stuff, I wouldn't be convinced that all the high end refinement would be discernable against a deafening wall of distorted guitars.
  10. Design by committee usually only ever makes progress on the basis of consensus. On Basschat that means you could be here for years.
  11. Rolls used to do one that was quite popular before so many effects units had their own MIDI foot controller.
  12. He'd never get a deal these days, the music is far too intelligent. It's a sad endictment of how the music industry is more about industry than music.
  13. Very good price for a storming amp. I used to have one before I sold it to Tayste 5 years ago.
  14. ...and what about the family? (Coat -> door)
  15. Kiwi

    Test

    I see you.
  16. Its Tony Goggle!
  17. In principle - yes and I would argue strongly that they should share the magic that they had as a band (despite John Bonham's death). But as much as I loved seeing them on the live DVD I know they were disappointed with their own playing. So pragmatically...it may be that what they had has gone already.
  18. [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1361133116' post='1981674'] If you want to call it F, you'll have to play it in Eb minor instead. [/quote] This is how I learned it. Cracking tune though. Here's a clip of me muddling through it at a sound check at the top of the Gherkin in London, through an awesome Akai Deep Impact. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGgHyhgZfy8[/media]
  19. Victor Wooten has done a cover of this one.
  20. These instruments were around a thousand quid when they were new and that was back in the late 80's! I remember playing one in NZ and thinking it was rather good.
  21. Sounds surreal Michael
  22. Noice...tight playing and your bass sounds the beans.
  23. How often do you look around the forum? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/199724-im-going-to-get-down-on-this-bad-boy/page__hl__bad%20boy"]http://basschat.co.u...__hl__bad%20boy[/url]
  24. Lee doesn't play upright...what on earth are they doing?!
  25. Can you get down on this bad boy?
