Can't believe I gigged it for so long - when I got a MIM Jazz Deluxe the difference was like night and day. [/quote] I had what sounds very much like the four string version of that bass, not one redeeming feature, it played and sounded like crap and had the weakest [size=4]pickups I've ever heard. [/size] [size=4]The Encore I had before it was far superior despite being half the price, amazing that a bass can be bad enough to make[/size] an encore that had a neck like a baseball bat and weighed about the same as a small family car seem actually pretty good!

Signed, sick of seeing things like this happen with music venues. Hope this one can be kept alive!

Thing is not everyone can live on good will, sometimes we need to pay for mortgages, food, petrol and any number of other things. Of course good will and charity have their place but the ad in the OP is clearly relying on someone else's talent given freely in order to make more money for someone who almost certainly isn't in need or passing the goodwill around. I'm sure that everyone of us have given either time, money or both for charity or those genuinely in need, you seem to acting obtusely for the sake of it.

Perfection! if I had the cash I'd buy exactly the same thing, love that bass.

That really is a fantastic job, with that kind of vision line 6 really could have done a lot better with that bass.

They all look good but the tort really does it for me, looks perfect!

[quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1393501679' post='2381027'] The drummer will dissapear just before you go on. This is anavoidable. Don't panic, just go find him. [/quote] Cracked me up and is so damn true. At my first ever gig my nerves werent helped when our drummer pulled a vanishing act as we were due on. Found him down the road claiming he'd spotted someone who'd hassled him the previous day and gone to beat him up . OP you seem pretty well prepared, once you're through the first couple of songs the nerves will subside and you'll start having fun. Bet you'll have a great time!

There just isn't another feature that puts me off a bass as much as gold hardware. It can make even the classiest bass look tacky and cheap.

I'd never considered trying them till my last bass turned up with a set of Fender flats on and I loved them, tried the nickel rounds and really like those as well.

Absolutely love that! really is a fantastic looking bass, got any sound clips?

And does fabric affect tone?

My first bass was a left Encore E83 Precision copy, weighs a ton and plays pretty well but the pickup was pretty poor. Still have it and I still love it despite it's many flaws, might drop a decent pickup in and bring it out of retirement!

Thanks for that! thought I'd just check out a track but ended up watching the whole show .

Damn! fretless players are a touchy bunch

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1383956553' post='2271399'] Wow, that was awful, although to be fair I've never liked NIN, they're one of those bands that on paper I should love, but their songs just don't do anything for me, combine that with Trent Reznor's recent slide into public asshattery and they're a band I just don't get. [/quote] Same here, I've tried, went to see them as well but despite my efforts they leave me cold.

We certainly didn't have a bass, had several 3/4 scale acoustics which I don't think had a full set of strings between them and a knackered old drum kit. Our music lessons consisted of copying biographies of classical composers from a text book into our exercise books and occasionally having a bash at chariots of fire, one finger style on the worlds cheapest keyboards. It really was an absolute joke and I'm still pissed off about it. Though some pupils did recieve music lessons on violin and cello we were refused when we asked our music teacher, we were happy to pay the full cost ourselves but she still couldn't be bothered to arrange anything. Where ever you are Mrs Boss, you were a truly awful teacher and did absolutely nothing to inspire your pupils you *%^£!?* waste of space.

I bought a Line 6 Bass Pod from Pete, great transaction, the Pod is in as new condition and I'm extremely happy with it, Thanks!

Drop dead gorgrous, that thing really is beautiful!!

If it's an EB a post on the official boards will get you its DOB, they were very quick with mine.
