If it had been anyone bar Kanye it would have been dismissed as third rate rapping as that is exactly what it is. The sampling is fourth rate. Oh yeah, he can`t sing Bohemian Rhapsody either. [/quote] Bound2 being another song containing yet another sample he couldn't be bothered to get permission for. I don't buy the entertainer/artist/persona angle, all I see is a shameless self promoting misogynist w***er.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1455563916' post='2980279'] It's official; BC is really convincing me the whole Beatle thing has always been bigger and more important to us baby boomer yanks than the English. With all the negativity I can't help but wonder if The Beatles did something to the English I don't know about? Blue [/quote] Lighten up man, a bit of light hearted banter is all that's going on. Noone took a crap in one of the Queen's hats

Search for the Abbey road live webcam, it's pretty entertaining at times, there's always a stream of tourists annoying the local drivers.

What an unmitigated piece of &%^$ that is

It sounds like you get enough out of playing that you shouldn't give in. If you can't take formal lessons then maybe consider subbing to something like Scottsbasslessons? It also sounds like you've plateaued and are getting frustrated, don't doubt that we've all been there, some days I pickup the bass and for whatever reason I just don't feel it and it can be best to know when to take a break and not keep banging your head against a wall. Try stepping outside of your musical comfort zone, I was in a similar rut and made an effort to really broaden my musical horizons and go where the good bass lines were, be it pop, reggae, ska, punk, metal, just trying to grow as a player. I had been stuck in a bubble of stuff I was familiar with for so long that I stopped progressing and started to get fed up. Best thing I ever did as a bass player.

It seemed to me that the organisers had little confidence in Coldplay and they almost seemed like an after thought once thunder thighs and Bruno Mars (who I thought was great again) turned up. I think the show needs more energy that a band like Coldplay can give even with Chris amped up and bouncing around the place. That bit right at the end with the three of them singing to the camera with Chris Martin squeezed in at the back summed it up, an afterthought at what was supposed to be their show.

I think you'd probably have to go used to get an good upgrade over the bass you have, but in the meantime getting to PMT and trying as many basses as you can will be a help. And I am sorry but Squier not Squire! unless you're a knight in which case, err, as you were I 'spose

Pepsi throwback or Pepsi Wild Cherry, the American stuff loaded with cane sugar not that corn derived sh%te. It's just amazing! Maybe a bluetooth speaker for the bathroom, showers are great when accompanied by music/podcasts

Just over 16,000. Dont know how with so many years playing with loud drummers and guitarists.

Isn't it down to the person who arranged the courier to give money back and chase said courier? did you organise OP or was it the seller?

I can't see the harm in asking the seller to pass along contact details, whether they choose to or not is entirely up to them of course and I wouldn't take any offense at them choosing not to. I was sorely tempted to try it myself with a great looking bass that I missed out on, probably would have got me nowhere but I did consider it.

Played the PM and TM 4 basses and the star for me were the delano pickups. Never played active basses where I found it as easy to dial in a great tone. The P and J pickups on the respective models were both great and the humbucker, whilst not exactly MM had a nice tone which really opened up the range of sounds on offer, never mind the coil tap! The TM4 I had was light and beautifully balanced and the stained finish was just gorgeous. Unfortunately the bridge had been installed too far back and it had to go back to Sandberg. Pretty big oversight in QC terms, how it was setup and signed off by their QC inspector is a mystery to me as it was never going to be intonate correctly with the bridge so far out of whack. As far as the Fender comparisons go, the Sandberg's definitely have a more modern hifi sound and are IMO a par with but no better than the half a dozen US Fenders I've owned in terms of materials or fit and finish. They feel like nice, well build basses and look bloody great.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1454592023' post='2971120'] There are plenty of offers that cut eBay fees down to almost nothing, you just have to be able to be flexible about when you want to sell stuff. [/quote] Absolutely, last bass I bought on ebay had an offer that meant they took £100 off the price and the last one I sold there was an offer that meant I paid £20 in total fees. They do have so great regular offers.

Don't just give up! you may never have the same thing going on with another drummer but who knows? You might find something better or just something unexpected and great in it's own right. At least give it a chance before you call time on it

[quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1454340476' post='2968708'] For some odd reason part of me was expecting a Korg Miku... [/quote] I'd love for our guitarist to bring that along! Glad the guitarist in this case has found a pedal to improve not just his sound but the band's sound, seems pretty rare with many guitarists!

It's great when something like this works out, really pleased you've found it and are getting it back. Must feel great to know you'll be seeing it again after so long

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1453998062' post='2965182'] The silver one looks great. I'd be going for that [/quote] That appeals to me as well, I really like the Green & Blue ones but yeah, the Silver one wins for me.

Wasn't sure I'd like it from the title but that's a real looker!

I don't think I've ever used the term 'mojo' before but that bass appears to have plenty. Very nice!

What was the Metallica vinyl that helped fund the bass?

I've never met a person who didn't seem likable when dealing with bass gear, be it on here or ebay or wherever. Maybe it's a bass player thing but everyone I've dealt with in person has been friendly and happy to talk bass gear. Glad your deal went without a hitch!

They've both been online within the last 24 hours so hopefully they've seen the messages. Good luck, really hope you can get the bass back!

Great player and is anyone in Europe is offering better value on custom made basses right now? Definitely need to own one of his Jakes in the near future.

Prefer it without I think, makes it look like one of those Flea basses.
