Hi Ray, I use a really small Rell subwoofer on my system, it is amazing how little you actually need to fill the sound out, properly set up you would not even be able to actually hear it, the sound would just be full, incorrectly set up.......yep you will take the plaster off downstairs ceiling On a serious note I did check with our neighbours if they could hear the bass (it is set up in a corner with one wall being the shared wall) they said they couldn't hear it over my bass playing.....I love my neighbours!

I have a local luthier who put a far more shallow angle headstock snap back on a Gretsch Duo jet for me a couple of years back, it is still solid as ever and even stays perfectly in tune so I am sure he could do this one but the Duo Jet was a neck break not a headstock so I am not sure if that would change things at all

Looks like a pretty clean break and it has a nice gradient to the break so there is plenty to glue and attach to, is it worth a punt or is it a steer well clear job? I have to say I am tempted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Overwater-C-Bass-Guitar-Restoration-Project-/231305467489?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item35dae15661

I had a Washburn AB5 up until recently, traded it for a Takamine bass, it was a cheap bass new, I got £100.00 as a trade in for it but it was a nice easy bass to play, it sounded decent and was well set up from new, for the money I couldn't fault it

I am afraid it is now collection only for the hoards of people with fingers poised to bid of this beauty at that price

It's quite funny reading this thread this morning, we played a festival yesterday evening and I remember looking out at one point, I actually found it quite weird to be looking out on a bunch of human bodies with strange looking boxes as faces some would flash from time to time others just had a little red light emitting from them. Yeah it is flattering that a lot of people were taking pictures and videos a lot of which will be on You Tube and Friend Face but I still find it strange. I can fully understand Mr Frampton's annoyance I too would have condoned the storing of said morons phone up his (as was so eloquently described earlier) chocolate star fish

Both are fantastic players, personally I go for Pino for his early work with Gary Numan and Paul Young still keeps me picking up a fretless bass 30 something years after those bass lines first blew me away, can I play them properly yet......nope but I keep trying. Maybe Sharay's bass work will inspire today's aspiring bassists for the next 30 years and onwards

Isn't that incredibly cheap for a German Streamer bass?

I wonder if the Warwick bass amp is for sale

I agree with much of the above, once I am going I just know what is coming next so I rarely make mistakes during the song, what still drives me potty is looking at the next song on the set list and thinking yeah that starts in C well G...no definitely C or is it G at which point muscle memory takes over and my fingers start the song in D where it has always been...doh!

I think the Bass Collection Jive basses had a good reputation, I have a feeling they were budget bass of the year in the Guitar and Bass magazine the other year, I have not played the newer Bass Collections but have owned a good number of the older Japanese ones they were all cracking basses

Aaaah singers, can't live with em, can't get away with accidentally plugging them into the mains......or could you

[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1406928746' post='2516089'] 'One Way or Another' is another one... [/quote] What....am I playing it wrong or something....I really enjoy playing that one, sure it not overly complex but compared to something like Your All I have by Snow Patrol it's a proper bass line

I always liked Patrica Morrison (Gun Club and Sisters of Mercy) solid bassist

I am vaguely related to Jo Whiley (My dad married her auntie) I am friends with Alvin Stardust's guitarist Glyn Davies and I am friends with Gary Numan's bassist Tim Muddiman

I really regret selling my Bass Collection SB801 because according to the world it never existed but I still have the photos Stinker...every Musicman Stingray I ever owned purely because I so want to love them but just can't

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1406455267' post='2511525'] That's made me laugh!!! I've never viewed hubby's t shirts as a source of his sexiness.... In fact that may be something that would drop him from an 8 out of 10 to a 7.5 [/quote] That would make him a good 9 in my eyes.....tell him he's pulled

Quick delete this thread...if a guitard sees this we are history

Inflammable Material, SLF London Calling,The Clash Rocket To Russia, The Ramones Script of the Bridge, The Chameleons Love, The Cult No Parlez, Paul Young Replicas, Gary Numan to name but a few...wow in this age of the MP3 sometimes you forget the craft that goes into making a great album

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1406359802' post='2510838'] I don't understand this whole tour tshirt thing. You men seem obsessed with it. Hubby is the same, he has a whole suitcase full of the things!! Some he's worn until they are falling apart, others he's never worn and he's keeping them like museum exhibits. What gives boys? The only time I've ever bought a tour tshirt is last year as I really liked a design on the Wall tshirt when I saw Roger Waters. That's it! [/quote] It's a bloke thing Debs, you just have to have them....don't know why...and you always have to keep them, I still have my 1986 Ramones Animal Boy Tour T Shirt it is in two pieces now but it isn't getting thrown away anytime soon. I have every Stiff Little Fingers Tour T Shirt since they last reformed and my last purchase was a 35th Anniversary Chameleons Script of the Bridge tour T Shirt...happy days indeed

I have had a good few dealings with DPD recently I have to say I have been impressed with their service and their excellent communication, I have not had anything go wrong so far so I don't know how they would be with a claim
