[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1413159929' post='2575438'] I found no difference really - but then I'm an 'everything-on-full-all-the-time' kind of guy. [/quote] Exactly the same for me, I fitted a set of Lindy Fralin's at the same time, still don't like the sound of the bass

Our drummer was admitted to hospital with heart concerns earlier in the year, then I broke my arm......your not our guitarist in disguise are you? No you can't be you didn't mention your singer being seconded to Japan for three months taking us out until Christmas. It's ok we already have 24 gigs booked in for next year. Don't worry you will get gigging in the end

Sigue Sigue Sputnik.....saw them at Coventry Poly on their first tour.....they were not very good, I remember Tony James threatening to bottle a girl because she shouted out she loved him! Still listen to a few songs off the album every now and then....have fun

[url="https://soundcloud.com/yodaclub/wasted-demo-by-yodaclub"]https://soundcloud.c...emo-by-yodaclub[/url] Hi guys after a year or more in the making (we have been busy writing and gigging as well) we finally have our first demo track done, I think this is the best original stuff I have played on in more than 30 years of playing. Please have a listen and comment if you see fit, if you like it we are on face book and are working towards 100.000 likes this year......we are currently at 125 so we have a way to go Rog

"Big sound....what more could you want"....err well a price that is not more than a new one would be a start!

I knew nothing about it just told Mrs2611 about it as it is one of her favourite albums... I am currently wearing one of her shoes as a hat

[quote name='martin8708' timestamp='1411751970' post='2562564'] Practice , practice and even more practice . [/quote] As above, I have learnt to do some for our band, once I knew the bassline so well that I couldn't get it wrong then practicing backing vox was a bit easier, however there are still some songs that I cannot play without a pick if I am doing backing vox!

I think you can just look at this forum to see that a great bass doesn't have to be an expensive bass, there is a lot of love on here for Bass Collection basses and Squire VM basses, personally I regularly gig an £80 battered half to death, Squier Mike Dirnt Precision, brought purely because a few people on here raved about how good they are....they were completely correct, it is as good and giggable as any of the far more expensive basses I own, in fact on two occasions only someone has come up after a gig and said "wow your bass sounded awesome" both gigs were with the Mike Dirnt Squier !

My Warwick Corvette $$, it does everything I need

I am looking out for a used Fretless sunburst Stingray / Sterling but I don't want to spend a load of money on one, I have looked at the Sterling CA34 but it doesn't look like there are sunbursts in the UK at the moment

We played a wedding anniversary last year and the couple wanted "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive, I worked the bass line out on bass but couldn't get it to sound right so I worked it out on my Micro Korg, I played it on the night it sounded great and I really enjoyed it, I now try to work out all of our original song bass lines on the synth just to see how they sound

They interviewed a doctor on radio 5 the other year who was very successful at getting people to quit smoking, his biggest tip was "don't use patches or any Nicotine replacement tools, Nicotine is what keeps you addicted, so you decide to quit smoking all filled with will power, you stick the patches on so the craving goes away, 3 months down the line you ween yourself off the patches only to find the cravings return but the will power has long since gone" I guess it does make sense if you think about it. For me I quit cold turkey about six years ago (or three more basses ago ) Just give up for a while you can always take it up again in the future if you so desire!

I have already made the seller aware it is not genuine, he has not removed it, I have also reported it to Ebay and they have thus far not removed it either

I had a package delivered last week, left with someone down the road who I don't even know and to top it all not even a card through the door, it was a good thing my neighbour was honest otherwise I would never have seen it.....I assume this was the new 3rd class mail system where they just drop the package off in the general postcode area and walk away

I have just installed a set of Fralin 5% overwounds in my Jazz bass, they sound fantastic, I was looking at selling the bass as I just couldn't get a sound I liked from it, the Fralins have transformed the bass, it has more power and bite but has a proper full range sound to it. I highly recommend them

I think the defret is a good idea (I have actually been looking at a Musicman Sub and a defret myself purely because there are no affordable fretless examples out there at the moment) I already have a plain board fretless Precision but I recently played a lined fretless JD Custom bass and was amazed how much easier the lines actually make it even though the way to play a fretless properly is by ear rather than looking at your finger positions. I say go for it

[quote name='davehux' timestamp='1410442922' post='2549489'] Jeez - 1st World Problems or what???? You got a free album and to the best of my knowledge no-one has died because of it. What are you going to do when something REALLY horrible happens to you Like a Cliff Richard album appearing on your phone [/quote] excellent

I have already messaged the seller to tell him it is not a genuine neck, he came back to me saying he would remove the listing, then put it back up as a USA neck again...negative feedback just waiting to happen if someone buys it

Excellent

Perfect storage for the good old 7" single, 200 to be precise
