I bought one of the Behringer BSY600 Bass Synthesisers, and it's lots of fun, but I can't actually find a use for it!! I've tried rolling back the volume of the effect in comparison with the dry so it's less in your face, but it still sounds like a space invaders game I think I may have wanted a envelope filter, I'm going for the bass sound from the jamiroqui track from Godzilla, which is dirty but has something else on it.....

That really is blu tack? [/quote]

I didn't believe it eaither till I poked it. It gives a sort of slow volume fade effect. Would be nice if I could control it!

[quote name='The Burpster' post='204543' date='May 22 2008, 08:38 PM']OK blu tack aside.....

Is that a pre amp with no battery?

[/quote]

Battery is in a separate cavity

I've just taken delivery of a bass off ebay, output faded in and out, thought it was the battery, till I looked in the cavity at the output jack....

Twins!! Two Samick Steve Vai-esque swirl basses. No clue about these at all, I thought the first one I had was unique till I found the second!!

Another + for Ibanez, I've got an Ergodyne EDC715 which I usually have to play with pick because it's uncomfortable adjusting my hands to the smaller string spacing.

He's ignored my request for a serial.

Is it me, or is that Fender logo from a *guitar*?

If you can pay with Paypal, I wouldn't worry about it.

[quote name='neepheid' post='202896' date='May 20 2008, 02:45 PM']At the risk of this seeming like a personal vendetta, I'd steer clear of any of those ultra cheap acoustics. They seem to be horribly made, and you're buying one from someone who knows naff all about instruments - 43" bass? That's double bass territory! Oh wait, you mean the overall length - wow, what a useful measurement!

I gave mine away - couldn't sell it with a clear conscience![/quote]

I've got one of those Swifts, and now I've spent half an hour setting it up, it's a nice enough bass for that sort of money. Did need tweaking though.....

"i think this is a one off"

You don't say....

I'd buy from him if he was a UK seller, but I wouldn't have said it was worth the price plus shipping plus the import tax to bother with, if there's a problem with it you're going to have a hard time sorting it. But that said, this is the first butterfly bass I've seen, and I wanted a purple finished butterfly guitar but my wife banned me from buying it!! (Actually, I wanted to custom build a doubleneck, so it had antenna...)

[quote name='glitterskinjim' post='199520' date='May 15 2008, 12:58 PM']do you really need two kidneys?


have you ever considered selling one?

[/quote]

Lol, to be honest it's overkill. I have a 120 watt hartke and a 100 watt ashdown at the moment, and I play in my babies room when he's not in it!! I haven't got time for a band anymore.....

I saw it the other day and cried! I'm in Buckingham with no money

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='199204' date='May 15 2008, 12:06 AM']Just thought I'd note, the green one is relisted at lower price with no proper title: no. 320249959442[/quote]

Still needs to come down about another £25 before I'd bother. The damage is far too off putting, despite the sellers claims that its "easily paintable" If I had the time I'd buy it to refinish.

I used a pair of pliers (the pincer kind) and then used wood filler and several hours of sanding. Isn't perfect but it does the job. Then I went a bought a real fretless instead

There's some pics here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18151"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18151[/url]

As you can see, I damaged the fretboard around the frets a little, which shows with uneven lines. The neck is still smooth however, it just looks a bit naff.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='198290' date='May 13 2008, 09:40 PM']I do feel very strongly about copies being passed off as the real thing[/quote]

As do I, especially with things like Squier's and Epiphone's. What gets me about the Ric crowd is the evangelism you see on their forums and that website, the genuine hatred that someone would dare make a copy of their beloved instruments....
