Sell it and buy a Stingray HH! I have one and I can get a very convincing P sound out of it, and a pretty close Rickenbacker sound out of it as well as the signature MM sound. Definitely not a on trick pony

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1366019868' post='2047252'] Did he play on the latest record? [/quote] He didn't play on the last 2 records... however he did play on an album called 'Eros' which the band recorded just before the accident. The band decided to hold off releasing it until Chi was better and recorded a new album with a different bass player instead. Hopefully Chi's last record with the Deftones will now be released sometime in the not too distant future as a tribute to him.

Gutted. Absolutely gutted.

Funny thing, the 'why aren't basschatters donating more?' and 'why so many user with 0 posts?' etc... I was under the impression, via word of mouth, that Basschat was the place to come for friendly 'basschat', however in the short time I've been here I have witnessed some 'ugly' threads where people have virtually lynched people, for instance the thread where the MM guy didn't receive the bass he wanted in the time frame he wanted. Online bullying you could call it! Infact didn't the OP cancel his membership for a while? I would use correct paragraphs here but the simple art of pressing the RETURN key doesn't actually work I actually asked for some advice about selling a bass yesterday, which was met with sarcasm by one 'established' poster, presumably because my post count is under 1000. And a new 1 month old post about aggressive behaviour from members... hmmm! Anyway, since I'm still a newbie despite trying to contribute to a "tough audience" because I don't have all day everyday to mess about on the internet, is there any chance you could delete my account and when I have stuff to sell, I'll do it locally or via ebay instead of this 'site'? Ta...p.s. why does the return key not work on a forum using it's users to generate revenue?

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1363303514' post='2011465'] That was the first 3 $$ 5 strings that I could find on a quick search. [/quote] Ok mate thanks for your help. As I say I looked through google shopping results for "Warwick Corvette $$ 5 string swamp ash" and I saw several that looked identical to mine at totally varying prices. Just thought I'd pop on here for some friendly advice is all. Cheers

Hi. I bought a Warwick Corvette $$ 5 string bass in London about 6 or 7 years ago. I'm interested in selling it at a guitar show I'm attending on Sunday, or failing that, eBay, as I want a USA Fender Jazz Deluxe 5 string. Thing is I can't remember how much I paid for the bass and can't find any of the finance paperwork for it. I know it was over £1000. Haha how bad is this?! The serial number is K-138592-07, so the website tells me it is made from swamp ash with an ovangkol neck and a black nirvana oil finish, however I don't know where it was made as there is nothing marked on the guitar. I've looked for the model online, but prices vary drastically, from £6/700 upto £3000. Does anyone know what this bass would cost new, so I can work out what I may be able to get for it to help purchase said Fender? Any help would be appreciated x

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1362960538' post='2006878'] The most dread in the least notes is pretty much done with the Black Sabbath riff. Too much else is the same with added notes. [/quote] Well then you could say Mozart wrote the heaviest riff ever, and Black Sabbath electrified it. I would find that easier to swallow. I really do understand the influence Sabbath had on the metal genre, and how much they influenced pretty much every metal band going today... I just find saying 'Iron Man is the heaviest riff ever' is an easy answer, with added cool points because you're being retro!

Don't get me wrong, I love Sabbath... I was brought up as a young kid in a house listening to Deep Purple, Queen, Thin Lizzy, Bowie, Sabbath etc... but HEAVIEST RIFF EVER??? Ok... 'most iconic metal riff ever' or 'most influential metal riff ever'... but folk saying things like Zeppelin and Sabbath have recorded 'the [b]heaviest [/b]riff ever'... reeks of arrogance and ignorance to me I'm afraid. It's a predictable answer and before I even looked at the thread I guessed some folk would say these things! The only surprise to me is that someone hasn't named a Beatles song as 'Heaviest Riff EVER' yet, which I was honestly expecting.

Although it may be [i]'cool' [/i]to name riffs written in the 1970's etc as 'the [b]heaviest[/b] riff ever', I find it eludes from an honest answer to the question... unless people haven't heard rock/metal beyond 1980. When there are/were bands like Strapping Young Lad, Pantera, Morbid Angel, The Dillinger Escape Plan etc kicking out ridiculously [b]heavy [/b]riffs over and over... saying Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath for cool points is just silly... in my humble opinion x [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm-eXzMdfro"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm-eXzMdfro[/url]

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1359588467' post='1957332'] BC Rich Mockingbird (budget range model) Weak pick-ups, uninspiring tone, terrible neck dive [/quote] +1, except mine was an Ironbird. Cost about £3/400 from Windows in Newcastle about 15 years ago. Passive P style pickups. The only description I have for the sound is "cheap and nasty"... also probably the worst ergonomics and balance on any instrument ever created. I didn't even think it was worthy of passing on to anybody else so I threw it in a skip.

Posting this on behalf of a friend Versatile drummer required for new, originals-playing rock/folk band in the Newcastle / Durham area. Influences are broad but we love anything elemental & soulful, from the dynamics of Zeppelin, the atmosphere of Floyd, the grandeur of Queen to the beauty of Buckley. To get an idea of some recent material listen to these tracks: [url="http://tinyurl.com/ake4djr"]http://tinyurl.com/ake4djr[/url] We're looking for someone with an open mind, who wants to get together and have some fun developing the sound - playing, writing, recording and gigging - and we'll see where it leads us. Gotta be someone mature (between 30-40?), backing vocals (maybe), willing and able to practice at least once a week, maybe twice to get us up and running and up for gigging locally and nationally as the opportunity arises. We have a dedicated practice space. Contact Ben: brotherbrother(at)mail.com ... or pm me on here. Ta x
