[quote name='glitterskinjim' post='199490' date='May 15 2008, 12:34 PM']Oh and it weighs a tone, But dont let that put you off, each to their own[/quote] Is the SVT-350 still heavy even though it’s solid-state? I’ve got the SVT-CL all valve head and it weighs about as much as my girlfriend! (she’s not a heifer ) I bloody love it though so I'm more than happy to put up with the occasional hernia.

if you could have your own sig bass by any compnay you want...
Dubs replied to nash's topic in Bass Guitars
Ahh what a good thread…I love the “if money was no object” kind of school boy thinking. Hmmmm…for me it would have to be something based on a Warwick I’d have a super thin Wenge neck with dark blue LEDs making a “BW” on the 12th fret. Smallish body – custom design that’s something between a Thumb and a Streamer with 1 big Musicman humbucker positioned towards the bridge. Black hardware (and at the risk of sounding a bit gay) with sparkley bits in it. 4 strings…if you cant do it with 4 then you’re not trying hard enough I’ve honestly never played a Warwick I didn’t like (except for a 5 string Streamer Jazzman) so I’d probably just take a ‘stock’ 4 string NT Thumb and change it very subtly to suit my individual ergonomic needs. -

[quote name='cheddatom' post='198501' date='May 14 2008, 09:12 AM']I was thinking I would try the sports mode out on my new car. To be honest i'm way too broke to be wasting money on cabs when I can't even gig at the moment. I was just offerring a removal service 'cos I have space for it and would love the extra volume. Good luck with the sale![/quote] fair doos mate...I'll take £75 cash from anyone who turns up at my door and takes it away -
[quote name='MB1' post='198102' date='May 13 2008, 04:43 PM']MB1. You'll Never get a Double Bass in that! Have an optomistic BUMP! [/quote] Haha that’s how I read it as well. I don’t know if I would like to carry a double bass around in a gig bag…more like a low-loader.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='197896' date='May 13 2008, 12:42 PM']I'll pick it up for the cost of my diesel? EDIT: If it doesn't cost me £40 for the round trip, i'll give you the difference! [/quote] Are you in Stoke? That's only gonna be about a 60 mile round trip – about a tenner in diesel?...unless you're driving an 8.2ltr Juggernaut I’m feeling generous so you can have it for £75 if you’re interested and gonna collect it.

[quote name='chris_b' post='197450' date='May 12 2008, 08:06 PM']...And funk isn't about technique; it's about the feel and the groove... Anyone can play the notes Boots Collins played with James Brown, but they can't play them the way Bootsy did. That's funk!![/quote] +1 well said and i think that totally sums it up. Funk is a feeling and about locking into the groove and it should sound effortless and natural

[quote name='martthebass' post='197109' date='May 12 2008, 01:09 PM']Ben, why do you want to sell this excellent bass! Ok, I've just started to rekindle my MM love after a 1 year break but honestly you aint going to get this level of quality for £675 anywhere else. Somebody buy this before Ben comes to his senses, I'd have it meself but I've only got a Precision in trade.[/quote] It’s just not my thing at the moment. I'm almost exclusively playing my Warwicks and I've got no need for this at all. I'd much rather acquire another Warwick that I'd actually use or the cash to suppress a bit of GAS for other little bits and bobs. Everyone's got to own a Stingray at some point though

How important is an 'interesting' bass part in the music you play?
Dubs replied to Cantdosleepy's topic in General Discussion
I almost refuse to play root note bass lines...but that doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally like listening to songs with boring root note bass lines in them, if you get my drift. I'm young and immature so the more complex the better - it keeps me concentrating and so I'm actually less likely to mess up a really complicated bass line that I would I really easy one, weird that but true. -
nothing better than a laid back funky porn groove :brow:

[quote name='Starvolt' post='196799' date='May 11 2008, 11:05 PM']Isn't that the album with the bizzare intro where the word Funk is incorporated into every third word?[/quote] i dont know, ive only got 2 tracks and I've been after an album for ages but i cant find anywhere that sells it. the 2 ive got are - "Fah Daa Bah Dee Bah Doo Bomph" and "Heavy Junk" I played Heavy Junk as part of my final year uni performance, cracking tune with a proper good groove.

what a lovely looking pair :brow:

[quote name='Oscar South' post='196756' date='May 11 2008, 10:17 PM']Oh yea thats what I do and I can play funk pretty well, I'm just wondering if a lot of other bassists go against the 'bassists = loves funk' thing. When people ask me to 'play something funky' I always play Prog Metal tapping/harmonics riffs just to be contrary, seems to entertain more than playing Aeroplane or Settle For Nothing .[/quote] aeroplane isnt the sort of funk i was thinking of...more along the lines of the first 2 Jamiroquai albums or the funky Stevie Wonder stuff (Sir Duke, I Wish, Master Blaster...) . Anyone heard of The Mother Funk Conspiracy?
-
you're a bass player! you should love the funk! I didn't appreciate funk until i started playing bass and now i think i have a kind of funk disease or something because i cant seem to be able to play anything without funking it up. I find it a great way to unleash some mad skills without having to venture into the depths of conceptual jazz improvisation...not that i've really given Jazz much of a go.

that tele looks amazing, i love the way the grain is compressed at the rop of the body and it gets wider towards the bottom. best of luck with the sale -
[quote name='mr.sibs' post='195960' date='May 10 2008, 01:33 PM']ah i would have had a go on this if id have read it in time, ah well[/quote] I've not got round to listing it yet so I'll give it another week and if there's sufficient interest (looking doubtful) then I'll release it into the realm of BC...going to mr.sibs first.

Ok…here’s my Stingray again . Relisted because it’s just sitting there doing nothing and going to waste – I’d rather a fellow BC’er put her to use. I’ve taken new pics so I hope anyone that was interested before has a clearer idea of condition. It’s in great condition except for the back of it which does have some buckle rash which gloss finished basses do suffer from, it’s not overly severe but it is definitely noticeable and it is definitely there. I’ve heard that this kind of light buckle rash is fairly easy to get out though…somehow? Obviously comes with the original MM hard case which is also in great condition. £675 – no offers please. I will trade it (potentially + cash) for a NT Warwick circa 88-92 but will consider a trade for a newer SSI. Hope you like what you see and PM me for any additional info or with any questions and I will be more than happy to respond.
