    [quote name='Dr.Dave' post='230679' date='Jul 1 2008, 04:55 PM']He's also inviting emails - so I've sent him one and asked about the issues we're raising here.[/quote] Well done Dr D. I look forward to seeing what you get in the way of a response.

    Saw [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-ORIGINAL-70s-JAZZ-BASS_W0QQitemZ160256587588QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160256587588&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A16&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]this[/url] on eBay and looked up the serial number on the Fender site. What I don't understand is this serial number ... S8849690 appears to be one digit too long. Anyone shed a little light please?

    I wasn't there, but us old gits can be a bit shy at sharing names. P'raps name badges next time ...both Avitar & real. Bit forced, but at the end of the day, blimmin' useful

    Have a great time folks. I would be there, but I'm doing a Sunday afternoon slot at Harrogate's Blues Bar. I hope another Yorkshire Bass Bash happens, so I can make it. Maybe you can add comments on your experiences, on BC, so us absentees can see what we missed?

    [quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='227772' date='Jun 27 2008, 08:44 AM']If i had a double neck, I'd go for a BassLab one: [url="http://www.basslab.de/"]http://www.basslab.de/[/url] Simply because their carbon fibre construction means that they only weigh the same as a normal bass! [/quote] Vorsprung durch Technik !!!!! Interesting. Thanks Alpha-Dave for bringing this to our attention. I'm more of a 'English Tea in the rose garden' kind of guy, so this isn't my bag. However, I can definitely see the advantages of headless in a twin-neck. I could see one looking good in the Status family.

    Hi folks. I'm getting a nice trickle of enquiries about this cab via PM and that's great ...keep 'em coming. Just thought I'd say that I'm off out now to watch Thea Gilmore, so won't be responding to any fresh messages until later. B2BM

    I bought "[i]Gig-Getter: How to get more gigs than you can play[/i] is a brand new step-by-step guide for amateur or semi-pro bands and musicians." from [url="http://www.gig-getter.co.uk"]http://www.gig-getter.co.uk[/url] It's not rocket science, and like most guides and seminars, you realise you knew most of it already. However this guide serves as a focus and a check list. What's more it is a UK publication, only £15 and is written by a bass player.

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='226645' date='Jun 25 2008, 12:56 PM']Hi Phil, how about a swap for an Ampeg PB-210H? [attachment=10021:PB_210H.jpg][/quote] Thanks for the offer Kieth, but I'm all cabbed out now. NiceGuyHomer delivered both Bergantinos last night. Now I have to pay for them ...hence the sale of the Schroeder. You are welcome to take it away and try it out though.

    Save me from having to putting this on EvilBay!

    Hey Paul h, Has it arrived? What's your critical view on it, and how much did it finally work out at? We wanna know!

    Found via Google [i]..."Yup-that's right. It's a bass guitar with a midi keyboard mounted on it. Yes, the two are played simultaneously. The bass is played with the left hand alone by means of a guitar technique known as "hammer-ons" while the keyboard (which emulates a distorted slide guitar most of the time. among other things) is played with the right hand. This instrument has a weight equivalent to that of a small motorcycle, and as you might imagine, requires years of time and patience to "master"."[/i] [url="http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/02/the_swiss_army_bass.html"]Video links 'n all![/url]

    I see these and other shiny works of art, and yes, they are great eye candy. Then I see some guy down the local live pub with a worn-out Fender with just enough surviving bits of paintwork to reveal that it was once a sunburst, getting a fat, woody vintage growl... and I yearn to have that old simple, passive veteran under my shoulders, much more than a blinged-up object d'art with NASA electronics. I'll get my unfashionable old git coat...

    Here it is, but there's lots more pics if you click on the link, in the OP above.

    [quote name='mcgraham' post='225182' date='Jun 23 2008, 04:58 PM']What are the odds! I am also home with the flu... and was contemplating selling my Schroeder 1210 in order to fund purchasing these. Crazy! Good choice there sir! Mark[/quote] Ah, those two magic words ...[i]Overdraft [/i]and [i]GAS[/i]. A powerful combination.

    Schroeder 1210R For Sale I can’t praise this cab enough, but I need (and have just acquired) a two-cab solution, for when I do café gigs. i.e. a single cab for my quiet band, and add another for my loud band. 4 ohms 850 watt in good condition, and comes with a vinyl cover. Look up the specs at [url="http://www.schroedercabinets.com/1210.htm"]http://www.schroedercabinets.com/1210.htm[/url] , and I can assure you their claim about easily replacing a 4x10 is completely justified. £400 and pick-up only. I live in Harrogate, work in Leeds, and am occasionally allowed a pass to leave Yorkshire, so if I’m going your way… [url="http://picasaweb.google.com/ShuteCentral/Schroeder?authkey=OuDzFkRBAkg"]Loads of pics here[/url]

    [quote name='Bigwan' post='225123' date='Jun 23 2008, 04:08 PM']That were quick![/quote] Aye t'was me. There are some compensations for being home in bed with Man Flu. Watchout for my Schroeder 1210 going up for sale as a result.

    [quote name='Exile252' post='224573' date='Jun 22 2008, 11:03 PM']You can buy the parts from Warmoth, I'm sure they do a double neck body. You'd be able to have it customized to you aswell.[/quote] I can only see a 4/6 twin body, but thanks for the suggestion.
  19. Born 2B Mild
    See you there too. Last night's gig, we played his "Cheatin' on you" - so up my street.

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='223509' date='Jun 21 2008, 11:52 AM']I've got a Washburn as in the photo, and I'm in Harrogate! I was going to take it to the bash next week.[attachment=9873:misc_084.jpg][/quote] You Dark Horse, you! I'd love to have a go on it some time Kieth. Unfortunately, I can't do the Bass Bash, as I'm playing at the Blues Bar that afternoon with an acoustic Angie Shaw threesome.

    I've searched on the forum (badly, as I anticipate being informed after this), but haven't found anything about bass guitars with twin necks that have one fretless and one fretted (4-string). In my quiet band, I am forever changing from one to the other, and it would be so neat to have both to hand. Even to the point of playing with each neck in different parts of the same song. I guess you can commission such a beast, but I'm not in that market yet. And, the fretless should be the top neck too!
  22. Born 2B Mild
    I have no basis to recommend these, but if it was me, and a Fender Mustang was out of the question, I'd look at a short-scale Jazz Bass copy, such as can be found at [url="http://www.rondomusic.com/bassguitars4.html"]http://www.rondomusic.com/bassguitars4.html[/url]

    Not many four-string Modulus axes come up for sale in my county of Yorkshire, but here is one [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120271414212&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002#ebayphotohosting"]on fleaBay[/url] Perhaps the lack of decent photos and description have caused it to have no bids ? (shame the name of the model isn't spelt right either). That doesn't mean the bass or its owner are less than 100% . I've never played a Modulus and hope to one day. Anyone got any views/advice about this one? It's a lot of cash to take a punt on!
