  1. Fantastic. Thanks for that - heard the song a million times back in the day but never noticed that line. Great backing track in general.
  2. [quote name='steantval' timestamp='1421359439' post='2660451'] I wish your pal luck - but Belgium is hardly the centre of the musical talent ,I'm racking my brain to think of any musical talent that has emerged from that country. The coaches - Jali Chimene Badi Stanislas Beverly Jo Scott Never heard of any of them. Your pal David probably has more talent than all of them put together, let alone be judged by them. [/quote] Django Reinhardt and Jacques Brel would qualify for musical talent I would think But yeah the judges are a bit... Still though, there's an entirely different francophone music scene we anglophones are never exposed to. Cool music scene in Brussels actually with the mix of people from all over the place. A helluva lot of jazz too if you're into that sort of thing. Good luck to your mate xildxx. Good choice of song - the French and Belgians love that tune.
  3. As a Lizzy fan I wouldn't be too impressed by any band covering that tune and [u]not[/u] doubling the riff properly. It's the defining characteristic of that song.
  4. Nice work. All good advice. We've tried most of those things with various degrees of success - all worth trying.
  5. [quote name='gapiro' timestamp='1366718984' post='2056323'] In my 80s band, We have an intro of a collage of clips from back to the future, and we launch into power of love... [/quote] Beautiful
  6. Sounds great. Right up my alley anyway!
  7. Well thanks to this thread I ordered one myself! Great guy to deal with. Ordered it on Friday, arrived Tuesday in Belgium. Also wanted a wider strap so he made a 7.5 cm wide version of the classic #2, black with a brass buckle. Beautiful piece of work and although the buckle may be a problem for scratches (let's hope not) , it looks classy for sure. As the OP said, the difference between this and a mass-produced thin leather one is huge. For 20-30 euro more seems worth it to me. No stitching anywhere, clean riveting etc. Can't imagine needing another strap for this bass for a long time. Obviously it's not for everyone but for people are picky about straps (like me) it seems well worth it.
  8. I recently bought an EBS unichorus from Ian/KingBassist. Pain free, pleasant transaction from start to finish with great comms, quick posting and sturdy packaging. Rest assured if you're dealing with him, you've nothing to worry about and you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Ian!
  9. Bought the ash version of this off the site a few months ago. Very happy and that's a nice price - surprised it's still here! As for lack of lines - looks nicer and after a bit of practice you don't notice anymore cause as mentioned - you're not looking at the front. Part of the fun of learning fretless is the practice anyway, so whoever gets this will be happy I'm sure! Good luck with the sale.
  10. Nice I'd never heard of this place and I'm living in Belgium at the moment. Thanks, could be handy.
  11. Played one of these recently. Nice, nice bass. Was very tempted to splash out at the time. Good luck with it.
  12. [quote name='Mog' timestamp='1321486859' post='1439913'] That was probably the only RCHP gig I was at that wasn't a washout. Seen them 6 times and they've been pants at each. The Slane DVD makes them look a lot better than they were on the day. If it wasnt for Flea there'd be no 'chillies, simple as. [/quote] This pretty much. I saw them in Dublin the year before Slane when no dvd was being filmed. 70, unenthusiastic, flat, minutes and they were done. Went to Slane and it was a great show played for nearly 2 hours (one or two jams aren't on the dvd) and were redeemed for me. But that only lasted til the next day when I found out they had filmed it for a dvd release - that explained the sudden jump in quality for me! Maybe they're better now with a young enthusiastic guitarist but after seeing them twice, I'm done with them as a live band. But hey, I doubt they'll be losing any sleep over that so if you're going to see them enjoy!
  13. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I just bought a big muff pedal from Simon. Nice easy transaction. Excellent communications and kept me up to date at all stages. Much obliged and deal with confidence![/font][/color]
  14. Hi guys, Thanks for all the responses - glad it sorted out the issue for someone Unfortunately mine doesn't have those trimpots. I bought it ages ago in a teenage fit of trying to be cool or something! So looks like I'm stuck with the delay and it's prob going on sale. Why they decided to put this delay in is another matter seeing as everyone I've talked to hates it... but that's another topic
  15. Hello all, Just dug my crybaby 105 q out of storage for a play around and soon remembered why I'd thrown it into storage in the first place - the effect delay. I'm sure you all know about the second or so of delay in returning to an unfiltered signal. Anyway, doing a bit of reading online and I saw that there's supposed to be a brown trimpot inside to turn off the delay like this [url="http://media.photobucket.com/image/crybaby%20105q%20trim%20pot%20delay/bob6k/DSC01488.jpg"]http://media.photobu...6k/DSC01488.jpg[/url] Anywho, I opened it up and lo and behold... no trimpot. Apparently mine is one of the earlier ones which doesn't have it. This delay makes the pedal pretty much unusable for me. Anyone know of an easy way to adjust the delay or is this destined to be going to the for sale section? Hope this is the right forum section please move it if I made a mistake! Thanks.
  16. What can I say other than echo the above? I just bought a fretless Warwick Corvette from Hutton. Great comms, was incredibly helpful with postage questions, explained every possible issue with the bass and the details of it. Emailed when basschat was down and provided all information about the delivery of the bass. The bass was packaged unbelievably securely as well. Polite and just a general pleasure to deal with. As said, deal with complete confidence. He's a gentleman and an easier transaction you couldn't ask for. Good luck Hutton - a pleasure.
  17. Bought a digitech synth Wah from Rich. Great packaging, arrived quickly, great comms. Nice easy, deal - a pleasure. Thanks again.
  18. No surprises here! Bought a pitchblack off Shep. Perfect condition, arrived quickly as described. A pleasure to do business with. Thanks again.
  19. Looks great - nice one. Has there been any news on the second half of production 3 - specifically the fretlesses?
  20. Thanks for the welcome. Tell me about it! Luckily what I'm looking for in a bass doesn't seem to come up too often on the forum so I haven't ran off and put myself into too much debt yet - but there's always time.
  21. Howdy. Just joined so I should the necessary introductions. Been playing about 10 years and now based in Brussels. Playing an 8 year old Status Stealth 4 through a fairly standard Ashdown amp (for space purposes) with a VT bass deluxe taking care of the tone. Playing in a general bar band over here at the moment and as the bars don't have PAs usually there's a lot of gear to haul around - hence the not huge amp! With a fairly steady job and the band finding its feet the GAS is eating at me. Looking for a reasonably priced fretless and a load of pedals in general (chorus, decent fuzz, better stage tuner etc) Anyway that's me - hello again
