A lot of 'big name' player's stuff just doesn't appeal to me but this guy I could listen to all day long, sublime player.

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1445710178' post='2893681'] thanks every one for your input. we have tried making suggestions such as positioning of his amp ect. im glad that what you have suggested collectivley is exactly what im thinking so i guess give him till xmas then im gonna have to risk a band fold by addressing it directly. at least i can say ive tried every thing! [/quote] Don't waste time making suggestions like that, address it directly. Why wait till christmas? address it in an honest and forthright way and if he can't handle that then you probably are better off getting rid. Playing gigs with a guitarist that makes the band sound bad will do far more damage to the band in the long run, I'd try and get it dealt with as a matter of urgency if he is as bad as you say. Either way, good luck and I hope it works out

Aretha Franklin's Think, the Blues Brothers version has been doing it for me today. Bounces along really nicely and I've been having so much fun with it. Tailfeather and She Caught the Katy as well actually, been having a bit of a Blues Brothers day, so much great bass and so much fun to play

They both look really good, much prefer the more natural stain/finish on these to the glossy version. Very cool basses

I'd go for a refund, his description is misleading at best and bull*&!£ at worst. I'm sure it is a decent bass but look in the for sale section on here and you could have a Japanese or Mexican Fender for that money or any number of other interesting basses. They'll will be well looked after and wont turn up covered in gunk!

What a great colour scheme that is, love black and tort and with the maple board that is a great looking bass. Congrats!

I think the OPs point refers more to community members who you wouldn't necessarily expect to act in the way you would expect a music shop to. I am constantly amazed at some of the generous deals available on these boards, people generally happy to sell on gear for roughly what they paid rather than looking to turn a profit. If all of us were to act in the manner the OPs trader did then the basschat boards would wind up a much less attractive and friendly place to trade our gear.

Oh man that is a shame, such a great player

[quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1443262992' post='2873474'] Would it be a greedy to have two black one? A funk unlimited just come up for sale on basschat ......... [/quote] I'd argue that you'd be preserving them for the good of mankind, a civic service almost...

I can't put my finger on what exactly it is about this song that just reverberates within me like nothing else I've ever heard. [media]http://youtu.be/SjJHH6IL3Nc[/media]

Always wanted one, they look and sound fantastic. For my money one of the best looking basses ever made, just gorgeous!

That really was brilliant!

Yup, they're the definitive bass guitar for a reason and that one looks fantastic, congrats!

I've reported as well, wish it was possible to message the bidders. Hate seeing people get ripped off

I play through an Ashdown 8x10 at our regular rehearsal space and it really is pretty great. No particular gas for one as I really cant be doing with shifting one, very impressed by how good it is for the cash though.

[quote name='steantval' timestamp='1442173034' post='2864902'] Big mistake following on after Bryan Adam's excellent set. [/quote] Not as big a mistake as watching it!

Wow! congratulations, any idea which bass it is you'll be getting?

Congrats, that is lovely! Absolutely love the look of these, with or without the blocks they look great. I was shocked at how reasonable the prices are, I would have gussed they were more expensive. Wish they did lefty models!

[quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1441820873' post='2862083']I know he gets slated but he showed a fine array of melodic and 8ths. If only he smiled more![/quote] I don't think I've seen him slated, he's a better player than he's given the chance to show with FF but even then what he plays is tasteful, melodic and fully in service of the song. Sunny Day Real Estate gave him more room for maneuver as player but he's never less than solid and often very interesting. Royal Blood really do put on a great live show as well, very good choice for support for Foo Fighters.

Without doubt that is just flat out awesome

I've had the lefty Sandberg, TM4 with the MM style pickup at the bridge for a couple of months now. I'm still thrilled with it, looks lovely and has a stained finish that really lets the wood grain show, build quality is as good as any of the Fender or Musicman basses I've owned and the sound is lovely. The solo'd jazz pickup at the neck sounds like a classic jazz, the MM style bridge pup really gives it some balls and can be run in single coil mode for a more bitey jazz tone. Sounds just as good in passive mode where the treble control works as a traditional tone control. Really is a versatile well built bass. [size=4]Maruszczyk are probably worth a look as well, you could probably spec your own for a reasonable price and they look and sounds great.[/size] They have a black jazz in lefty at the moment, maple with blocks, a really looker and just under 800 euros.

[quote name='neilp' timestamp='1441405436' post='2858753'] Whatever you require to do your thing is what's required. Simples. Setting is utterly irrelevant [/quote] Amen! I'm puzzled as to how this thread has come this far, if the player and their audience are happy who gives a flying ^&!" what anyone else thinks is required

Not my neck of the woods unfortunately, just wanted to say that track is really great, like everything about it and your vocals are particularly good. Great stuff!
