Theses [url="http://www.hiscoxcases.com/standardguitar_hiscox.htm#stdebp"]Hiscox[/url] numbers will eat anything. Far too big for my Spector though!

[quote name='Merton' post='374111' date='Jan 8 2009, 03:01 PM']We were, at first, slightly concerned it wouldn't fit in the boot of my car (04 Ford Focus hatchback) but it does with consummate ease (picture proof later!)[/quote] Very important, this one. Nearly as important as an '01 Focus.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' post='374068' date='Jan 8 2009, 02:14 PM']I just got a second hand (but mint condition) EBS MultiComp and that does the job perfectly![/quote] +1.

[quote name='WalMan' post='374050' date='Jan 8 2009, 02:02 PM']No? He did a good job resurrecting my Superbass 100 and the price seemed fair for a major overhaul and complete revalve.[/quote] Funnily enough, I was speaking to a gadgey the other day who also had his valve amp well fettled by him. On the flipside, he kept my Peavey Combo 300 for about 2 or 3 aeons, failed to fix it despite telling me he had and charged me £75. It was a Peavey - all it needed was a bloody good kick.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='373870' date='Jan 8 2009, 10:53 AM']I'm not too fussed as it's going to be a practice/back up it has to be better than [b]the Badger[/b] I'm using ATM.[/quote] Cruel bastard.

It's now on the calendar so I'm allowed to come.

[quote name='drumbloke' post='373334' date='Jan 7 2009, 06:30 PM']Hello! Drummer here, thought i would do a bit of spying on the bass fraternity. [/quote] Quick lads, hide the booze!

[quote name='Galilee' post='373007' date='Jan 7 2009, 12:56 PM']Only gays use picks. [/quote] Speaks the W*****k 5 player.

Will check the calendar tonight. LH+Big One = , I'd wager. Will heckle if attending - 'Bass solo', 'Freebird', 'You know any Nirvana mate?', etc.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='372383' date='Jan 6 2009, 08:19 PM']I'm back using a bloody pick again and......I'm lovin' it.[/quote] Good man. Welcome back to plectrum world.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='371135' date='Jan 5 2009, 05:14 PM']I've got to get over the latest edition also - picking it up on Saturday all being well.[/quote] Ah, I might pop in for a nose... [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='371309' date='Jan 5 2009, 07:54 PM']Apart from being a ""Status Whore", I also have GAS for the diving girl in EBS_freak's avatar. Or is that something else?? [/quote] It's a ladyboy. Nice arse though. One of Claber's cabs, one of them Tascam bass trainer jobbies & a couple of wall hangers is it for me. No more basses, amps or effects. That the wife will find out about anyway.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='372043' date='Jan 6 2009, 02:45 PM']I think you will find we have taken the FA cup 8 times [/quote] Yes, but never from us.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='372014' date='Jan 6 2009, 02:18 PM']...it's been sitting at DHL in Maidstone since the 19th of December.[/quote] Dear Mr Punkdude, After briefly 'playing' the silverfox's Roscoe the other week, I have decided against the kind offer of a lend of your 5-string. On the rare chance I could erase 20 years of muscle-memory, I would end up wanting one and in the interests of lager family dynamics, this is utterly out of the question. I would however like to send you a sticker with which to adorn said bass. After all, you have taken everything else that Pompey once held dear. Except the FA Cup. And Glenn Johnson. Yours, Mr Lager

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='371926' date='Jan 6 2009, 12:56 PM']Can't really draw any conclusions with regard to that comment because I haven't compared a 4 string strung B to D with a 5 strung B to G... and if you are commenting specifically about my Rumour, I can't comment again because I haven't compared a 35inch scale (5 string Rumour) strung B to G to a 34inch scale (4 string Rumour) strung B to D (where the B is through body strung) Nevermind eh johnny?[/quote]

It depends whether that low B is bridge or body strung, eh Russ?

[quote name='Tinman' post='371674' date='Jan 6 2009, 10:01 AM']I'm convinced now though. [/quote] Me too

[quote name='johnnylager' post='371597' date='Jan 6 2009, 08:00 AM']Nope. I believe the Fender logo should have no outline, just straight black & there should be the patent #'s under it. And I can't see the CIJ & serial # just above the neck pocket. GL's comes in those gig-bags though... EDIT: And that neck doesn't look shiny enough either.[/quote] It could be one of the new necks though, which are satin, I believe. Fair point from Mr Hunt, too.

[quote name='YouMa' post='371600' date='Jan 6 2009, 08:07 AM']Read further down its been very cleverly worded i think? "A Replica of the Fender Jazz Bass Geddy Used with Rush"[/quote] That's what Fender [url="http://www.fender.co.uk/products//search.php?partno=0257702306"]say[/url] too.

Royston Langdon off Spacehog. Who have just reformed.

[quote name='Tinman' post='371586' date='Jan 6 2009, 05:54 AM']I could be wrong but is what's on the headstock correct for a genuine Fender? Don't flame me if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='370935' date='Jan 5 2009, 02:28 PM']Really? I thought the blue box was a ring modulator rather than an octave up? It does sound like the octaver on digitechs etc rather than a ring modulator but I await correction. Are there any sites that detail Les' rig?[/quote] Can't find any current ones. I've not tried [url="http://www.lesclaypool.com/bullboard/"]this[/url] though. Let me know if you have any luck and I'll chuck it the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28588&hl=geek"]bassgeek[/url] thread.

Are you all related?

[quote name='Sean' post='370323' date='Jan 4 2009, 08:39 PM']Cheers for the transcription posting. Just found a couple of things on it that might be worth pointing out... in bar 2 after the F to Ab hammer on the Bb hammers on to C before the Eb staccato sixteenths. Anyone else hear this?[/quote] Fantastic. Do you play Dungeons & Dragons & like computers by any chance? I do and this is the kind of thing I would post if I [s]could bunk off work & get the wife and child out of the house[/s] had the talent. EDIT: The only thing I ever picked out was a run in some Foo-Fighters song that Stuart Clayton [kindly] pretended he hadn't heard! EDIT 2: I will learn this by the end of the year.

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='369554' date='Jan 3 2009, 08:25 PM']Streamers look cool Corvettes look weird :wacko: IMO!![/quote] Those Spector wannabees are alright I suppose , but I must agree about the Corvette. I just know I would end up holding the top horn thing and this in turn would provoke jibes about my sexuality and result in a fight. Mind you, the W on the headstock would probably do that.
