[quote name='mike257' post='432063' date='Mar 12 2009, 12:53 AM']The absolute worst thing you can do in the studio is over-estimate how many songs you can cram into your alotted time. I'd be far happier walking away with two songs we'd played and recorded really well than having five that are rushed or half-arsed. Otherwise the whole thing is a waste of your time and money.[/quote]

Looking to sell on a set of Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky gauge 11, 15, 22p, 30, 42, 54. Will also come with an extra "E" 54 string. Perfect for lower tunings or just a beefier tone.

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='418039' date='Feb 23 2009, 11:42 PM']Come out of Camden Town tube, walk left round the corner (which should land you outside the other entrance of the tube station), cross the road & turn left again (Camden Road I think). Walk up the hill, you should pass Sainsbury's on your left (if it's on your right, do a left/right at the next cross-roads). Keep walking until you get to the big railway bridge, cross the road & turn right into Royal College St. The Gallery is about 150-200 yards down - just after the canal.
Hopefully the above will make more sense on the ground!
Take their phone number just in case - I have had to ring 'em up to get in before now.

[b]1. Warwick Streamer Flightcase[/b]
This is a "Warwick" hardcase which was used to store my Warwick Streamer Stage I (not the newer Rockcase version). Looks like it could survive a few knocks going through the hold of an airplace. Internal dimensions 119cm (l) x 36cm (w). Struggling to find an exact price, but at the moment considering letting it go for [b]£95[/b].

[b]2. Fender Soft Gig Bag[/b]
This is a Fender carry bag that originally came with a Fender Marcus Miller. Has a small tear on the side which isn't obvious at first glance and only really cosmetic, but has hardly been used outside the house. Due to the tear will let go for [b]£5[/b].

[s][b]3. Hohner Floor Tom[/b]
Was originally going to use this for an arty type project, but never really found the time and is now taking up space. Due to a broken skin, will let go for [b]£5[/b].[/s]
[b]4. Fender Moulded Hardcase[/b]
Originally came with my US Fender Jazz but can fit Precisions too. Will let go for [b]£85[/b]

[s][b]5. Small Flightcase[/b]
Found here from Maplins ([url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=222024"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=222024[/url]). Has a movable/removable divider. Originally was a case for my Mark Bass Little Mark II. Available for me to post. Looking for [b]£10[/b] + p&p.[/s]

[s][b]6. Kinsman Moulded Fender Jazz Case[/b]
Moulded to fit a Fender Jazz. Previous owner used it with a Musicman SUB so I presume will work with Musicman basses like the Stingray, etc. [b]£50[/b][/s]

[b]7. Warwick Premium Softcase[/b]
One of their top end cases with a [b]lot[/b] of padding. Well used with two tears. Just cosmetic and still able to give ample protection. Because of the tears, will let go for [b]£7[/b].

Here was the deal, we have a monthly residency at The Comedy, Piccadilly Circus in London. Last night we had a Valentine's Day Eve gig... before which, we asked members of the audience to write down a word related to Valentine's Day and to hold it up when we ask. My bandleader, Jamie West then went out into the audience and read the pieces of paper being held up and wrote a song right on the spot using them. We recorded a rough version, and Jamie used this to go straight home into his studio and laid down it down for free download as our new single the very next day... which is today!
The results were hilarious!!!! Play it for your loved one.

[quote name='nig' post='408662' date='Feb 13 2009, 03:09 PM']Hey, thanks, all I need is a wiring diag, I wonder why the active was cut, I bet I'll find out when I eventually re connect everything [/quote]
I had the Hohner B2V. Really couldn't make the preamp work for me at all and so always ended up playing it in passive. -
Beautiful! Shame about the classic Fender QC on the paintwork... Beautiful nonetheless!!!
-
I'm interested mate.

I quite like Max Santos from Aventura. They're a modern Bachata act with bit of contemporary R&B influence. The grooves are quite straight forward stuff, i.e. root, minor 3rds and fifths stuff. But he throws in some interesting licks about and manages to hold a strong foundation whilst being quite melodic.
Their big tunes are Mi Corazoncito and Obesion. Todavia Me Amas has some great licks too. I know you can find them on YouTube. -
[quote name='Shaggy' post='400963' date='Feb 5 2009, 01:09 PM']...but [b]very [/b]heavy! [/quote]
+1! Love my old 1x15 tho... pity I didn't have the means to easily transport it anywhere. Ho hum... -
[quote name='GreeneKing' post='398944' date='Feb 3 2009, 02:09 PM']I have a couple of 4 string basses that are considerably heavier than my 90 NT. I've never thought the weight was an issue at all to be honest, maybe some are heavier than others?
Not a particularly helpful comment in the thread either methinks.
Great basses, especially the earlier ones like this.[/quote]
I didn't find my old thumb particularly heavy either. Bubinga is a heavy wood, but the small size of the Thumb body eliminates that as a problem (well for me at least).
Sexy bass btw! Played one of these earlier thumbs before, and they're brilliant basses! So have a free bump on me. -
[quote name='warwickhunt' post='396045' date='Jan 31 2009, 11:44 AM']Well he has response from Warwick and as predicted by Nostradamus here, they are c*ck on with their info and have valued his 'damaged' (BO) Streamer bass @ £1000 - £1500 @ they wish!
Subsequently his BO neck bass with the damaged control cavity has gone up in value from £600 to £900. Luke mate, @ £600 you've undervalued your 'undamaged' NT SSI. In fact going off Warwick's used price list we should all be expecting at least £1500 - £2000 for a used NT SSI.

Whoa! That's a massive overvaluation! I wonder if that's just reflecting the recent change in the Euro-Pound rate. Might seem like a reasonable price in Euros.
As I learned on my trip to Madrid few weeks back, €5 for a pint is reasonable, whereas £5 isn't! -

Check out these samples. -
I quite like them. They are certainly unique pieces!

I do think it is important to have at least a basic understand of reading and theory. I think it helps you understand the construction of music a lot, i.e. harmony, counting, etc. At grade 6, sounds like your fine.

[quote name='Rich' post='388222' date='Jan 22 2009, 09:18 AM']You wish you were rich?
Nah you don't. Being me is vastly overrated. [/quote]
You say that, but you're already Rich. Pity those of us who weren't blessed with such attributes at birth.
To be honest, I'll agree with Marcus. Sure it's a nice clean example, but you can find nice clean examples elsewhere for much less. A battered tour bass or used on recording, it [i]maybe[/i] might be worth it if you've got that kind of money to blow. But this is coming from a presumed collector's point of view. An investor would think differently I guess. -
Trust me, being close to bankrupt is the only way to quench that GAS. After all, you could always buy a bigger board. haha
-
I prefer to be stage left, hi-hat side. Easier to maintain eye contact from that angle IMO.
-
Hey! Just remembered this thread. So happy because I kept my New Year's Resolution not to buy anymore basses and unnecesary equipment. Although I did find a little loophole meaning I could trade... hehe.
How did your 2008 Resolutions go? -
[i]"The bass player carries the basic beat to the band and to the audience and solos periodically"[/i]
Thank you Fender for defining my existence as a bass player... haha. -
[quote name='skankdelvar' post='367062' date='Dec 31 2008, 01:34 PM']The academy will teach you how to play your bass. Working with the band will teach you so much more. Looks better on the CV too.[/quote]
+1. Go for it mate. You can always study afterwards. -
[quote name='Buzz' post='365698' date='Dec 29 2008, 07:17 PM']Again?
They've already increased them by about that t'other month.[/quote]
Apparently so. The guy I talked to said they already increased them this year and will increase them next year too in order to cover costs. He says management are confident about the recession period and the Fender brand section is still quite strong for now. At least we won't have to worry about our guitar and bass manufacturers needing a bailout. -
Hey there guys... was talking to someone who works for Fender Europe. Looks like they're gonna increase prices by 10%.
*** DISCLAIMER *** Don't take this post as gospel. -
Since my New Years Resolution for 2008 was not to buy anymore basses, it's been a fairly quiet year for me.
