I mainly just listen to CDs, there's something about listening to the whole thing through .. rather than just listening to odd songs here and there

[quote name='vizzo' post='634045' date='Oct 23 2009, 12:10 AM']No idea what a laney is like - hence this thread!

So I'd like to get some views before i decide what to go for.

Geek99 - How much is the laney?[/quote]

I've got a Laney RB2 that i use, there perfectly decent amps and pack a punch for the size, fine for jamming with mates as well.

I've got one of the Yamaha RBX 270 and it's works great for me, fine for occasional gigs. Don't know about the rest but like Clarky said the Vintoage Modified Squires are apparntly realy good for the money.

[quote name='Laurence' post='578242' date='Aug 23 2009, 03:18 PM']I'm 17 but I wasn't brought up bass wise into all the RHCP stuff, he is good no doubt about that but after I'd been learning for two years I stumbled upon fretless and Mick Karn and Jaco Pastorius I rate them way above him (I can promise that most 15-18 year old bassists will say they are inspired by Flea).[/quote]

I'm 17 and have never realy got into Flea/RHCP ... not into Jaco either but hey

Hey..

Got abit of a problem in that the cable keeps falling out of my bass (Yammy RBX if that helps) and not sure how to fix it..

Not problem with the cable as I've tried several. It just falls out at the slightest touch now.

Any ideas? (sorry if this is a stupid question )

Thanks.

Purple! Woo!

Oi!

Sham 69?

How's you,

[quote name='bremen' post='414092' date='Feb 19 2009, 12:00 PM']I wouldn't recommend the tool you linked to, which is designed to cut thick copper/plastic cables. Stainless steel is a different thing altogether. You can probably get something for a lot less than 20 quid from B&Q, why not take an old string down to the shop and try before you buy![/quote]

Yeah....the link didn't work properly, the thing I'm getting is " Planet Waves Pro String Winder (Bass) "
..It's got a cutter attached as well, that'll do the job right? Thanks.

I found something...it's all good...thanks bremen...

Hey, attempting to restring my bass for the first time, but got a question..

What should I use to cut the strings with? I've got wire cutters, but they don't make an impact against the string.

Stupid question I know, but that's just 'cus i'm stupid , thanks for any help..,

When your terrible at your instrument, the least you can do is look good while playing it....otherwise your just not trying

Just remmeber, I believe you can copy 'quotes' from the song. Something like 12 bars can be copied legaly..but I maybe wrong...

'Course it would be, it's sharing, no greater crime in her majesties land.

If I could get a copy of those though, it would be greatly appreciated :)

[quote name='Robert' post='366509' date='Dec 30 2008, 06:58 PM']Does this seem like a stupid criterion to base my choice on?[/quote]

I choose mine because it looked pretty..

Besides, you can't make a wrong decision..as long as your happy it's all good

I love the look of a worn out bass...but like alot of people here...I want the scars to bring back memories.

Mind you..I'd glady smash up someones new Fender for them ...sounds like a good job.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='366233' date='Dec 30 2008, 02:07 PM']I shall shortly be launching my new range of Del Var "Road Worn" strings for '2009:

* Vintage 50's Saddle Kink at bridge end
* String wrap infused with "Golden Age" iron oxide rust and pre-applied dried flesh
* Intonation "Stretched-Out" to get that late-period Jamerson sound
* Sprayed with choice of 3 "Roadhouse" scents: 'Stale Beer', '100 Smokey Bars' and 'Truck Stop Hooker'
* One string in each pack pre-snapped for that genuine 'Dang it, Ah'm such a hot picker, Ah just done broke mah string' look

Available in all popular gauges. See us on our stand at NAMM

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='363473' date='Dec 26 2008, 12:05 AM']The pots are the inside trickery of the knobs. If sound comes out when they are turned all the way down, its because they aren't perfect pots. Is it enough sound to be a problem? New pots is the answer then, pretty simple job generally.[/quote]

Thanks man, it's not a problem..just curiosity
