[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1401224366' post='2461513'] There are a lot people frankly taking the piss on prices e.g. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/237776-darkglass-vintage-microtubes/"]http://basschat.co.u...age-microtubes/[/url] - £150 vs [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/darkglass_microtubes_vintage_bass_overd.htm#bewertung"]http://www.thomann.d...d.htm#bewertung[/url] - £170 new. [/quote] Agree to a point, but then you see this [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/221210827655?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/221210827655?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108[/url] Prices of a lot of things have dropped quite a bit over the last 6 months or so. There was a guy selling a TC HOF on here a few weeks ago, it was only about £10 less than a new one, but he'd paid a whole lot more for it only 6 months previous, and didn't realise the price had dropped so much.

That's so cool !

[quote name='Titus Bramble' timestamp='1395866001' post='2407466'] Since this thread has been quiet for a while I'll highjack it... Been having piano lessons since January so I'm still a beginner but I'd like to try a few things other than what I'm given by my teacher. Are there any websites etc which have a selection of sheet music to browse through? Is there a piano equivalent to ultimate guitar? [/quote] Just use google to search for songs of your choice and you'll find hundreds, google images is good, just print them off.

The Roland battery amps get a lot of praise from Chapman stick buskers, they'd work fine for bass.

Most studios I've been into use older MOTU's which I've seen quite cheap used on ebay.

The vocal sample at the beginning of track Another's arms is the singer I'm currently working with, Jane Weaver from her "Fallen by Watchbird" CD. They forgot to clear it and a few long transatlantic phone calls were had. I liked Parachutes, but not much else. [/quote] You'd have thought they'd have learned their lesson with Joe Satriani.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1400615784' post='2455563'] Frankie actually IS funny. That review was just an arrogant reviewer who's up his own chuff with his own sense of self f***ing importance. I'm not defending Coldplay, I liked them a lot early on, they were a great band, but I've not liked the way they developed because it just not my thing. Doesn't mean it's a load of f***ing f***ing f*** though, does it. [/quote] I didn't realise they had developed . That's partly why I don't particularly like them, they're a band that promised a lot when they first appeared, and they just seem to follow the same formula each time. They even had Brian Eno produce them, I couldn't hear what he'd actually done.

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1400534128' post='2454812'] Easiest way to spot the difference is to look at the headstock. US 6ers arrange tuners in a 3+3 config (like your Modulus); Kingstons are 4+2. [/quote] Also the truss rod cover is black on the Kingston. Very nice basses .

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1400483742' post='2454166'] That guy IS Andrew Gouche! And he's playing the USA model, not the Kingston. Here's another guy - Bubby Lewis - playing the Kingston version. Interesting to a/b them! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTOGSYBFux8[/media] [/quote] Yeah, I know it's Adrian. The item on talkbass lead me to believe he was reviewing the Kingston model.

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1400458161' post='2454109'] Agree with this 100%, and with Dingus's post above. A case in point is my MTD Kingston AG5 - insanely great bass for 1/3 of the price of a US model. I couldn't give a toss that it is made in a factory in China rather than in Mr Tobias's log cabin in a forest in upstate New York - it plays and sounds brilliant. [/quote] I've always wanted to try the 6 string MTD AG model. There's a video of a guy playing it here [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFmP_fRCz5U"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFmP_fRCz5U[/url]
