Shockwave

[quote name='Zydian' timestamp='1357639666' post='1925641'] Looks like a stripped Kalamazoo. [/quote] Didnt think the Kalamazoos had that sort string bar on the headstock. Wrong scratchplate as well.

I guess nothing can be done for non Facebook using members?

This video pops up every so often. I think you'll all find it is a BC-Rich Wave with nipples.

Straighter then a straight thing. Had the cash, offered full price. Really nice guy! Cheers! R

[quote name='joegarcia' timestamp='1356654207' post='1912197'] Bump. Anyone had any more luck with this? [/quote] Circle K Shipping is about 15 dollars now. Tried Newtone but have been less then helpful in their replies to me regarding a Drop C set even after I said I was ready to plonk money down.

Hey guys. For years I have been chasing a very growly cutting tone with little success. I have been aware of this band for a while, but the bass plaayer really is something else. He uses a variety of basses but seems to get a signature style growl that I absolutely adore. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqIoZr8j9cU[/media] This being my favorite one of all (Intro is fairly standard but wait til it gets into the song!). From the video it appears to be an Orange Valve stack, overdriven with a Lakland Jazz bass. Obviously whatever he recorded the track with could be different, however I reckon it was probably with some sort of valve amp with a J bass with a soloed neck pickup, anyone else care to chip in? Whatever it is, seems to be heavily compressed as his tone is very constant and present in the mix. Scooped mids you think? Flats, rounds? 60's or 70's Jazz pup spacing? Either way, great player and fantastic tone. Looks like the rest of the band are geared towards making him sound fantastic balance wise. Here is another track that you may enjoy! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8f7jGVaymY[/media] Sounds more P bass to me, but hard to tell. Current gear is a Fender P-J all maple P bass with Dimarzio Super Woofer and Ultra Jazz and a Gibson Grabber. VT Bass Deluxe, Ampeg PG-500, Barefaced S12T. Cant get anywhere near this tone! Ideas?

Also, i'll just quote myself from a while back in a similar thread. [quote]This is an interesting subject to me. I am a pretty weak [color=#ff0000]willed[/color] person naturally. I really dont like haggling and I hate saying no. I think haggling preys on people who are "kind" or timid like myself. Indeed in my early Basschat days when people visited my house I got pressured to lower the price by well respected members after they noticed my youth and shyness. My solution? Make sure in the advert that I put something along the lines of "Firm, absoloutely no haggling." I have sold everything recently with that in the message. If its a trade or part ex that I would allow, I will put very specific instructions as to what I want and the value I expect to be given to my bass. I generally take payment up front, even if its collection only. If people still haggle, then recently I have just asked them to leave as I dont like being hassled into allowing a price I will immediately regret. Its the "Last moment" haggle which really depresses me. When I buy something and a price if agreed, then that is the price and it shouldnt change. Last minute pressure in a deal with regards to haggling annoys and upsets me (Unless there is a valid problem). As an example. I recently sold a P5 Deluxe to someone on Basschat recently. He popped to Bristol. However before I went out, I noticed the bass had some extra damage I never noticed before. I felt bad considering the guy was already on his way. When I met up with him, I asked him how much his ticket cost and I refunded it to him (£50 before he even saw the bass and explained why. He came away happy, I didnt have to do it, he probably would have taken it away anyway. But rather he would go away happy and me with less guilt. Was it the morally right thing to do? Absoloutely. I just hope people would respond in kind. Besides very rarely will I haggle a lower price in the first place, if I think it is priced correctly then all fine and dandy. If its priced somewhat high then I will know that the seller will eventually wise up and either reduce it, or keep hold of it. Everyone should be happy in a deal. When i say "FIRM" in an advert, I am not saying the price will not go down at anytime. I mean that I am FIRM in dictating the price. Only I will dictate the price, when I am happy to accept less, I will approach you or amend my advert.[/quote]

I really detest lowballers. When I sell my stuff I always put "FIRM" No haggling etc at the end of the adverts. Yet I still get lowballs all the time, which results in a sarcastic reply from me. I think it is personally disrepectful to lowball. I generally pay full price to BC'ers as basses are priced lower then anywhere else usually.

If there are recordings I dont mind doing the London gig. But I wont be able to make rehersals. Is pay being offered here?
