  1. [quote name='theosd' post='63580' date='Sep 21 2007, 01:30 PM']# Um, it would be cool if he wasn't so miserable all the time!! ....[/quote] surely its the [i]job[/i] of the bass player to be miserable?!! i certainly am, and i know a few others who are too! same applies to the grandad thing! i fully intend to be a right misery, moaning about the youth of today and attacking everything with my walking stick if (when?!) i get old!!!! it comes with the territory i reckon and should be applauded!!! peace c
  2. how cool is THIS!!! [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/Titan-Missile-Base-Central-Washington_W0QQitemZ190132455924QQihZ009QQcategoryZ1607QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]Coolest thing on the bay of E[/url] peace c
  3. aaargh.. only a few hours to go!!! still fighting against buying this little lot!!!! good point about the blue membrane buttons though, i've had old midi sound modules with those before and they can tend to be a bit dodgy... peace c
  4. yeah he used to always be advertising them on the back of the US BassPlayer magazine as i recall - i [i]think[/i] before he got signed etc that he used to work for ADA too? or perhaps i dreamt that bit? peace c
  5. Tempted with this little lot myself but must resist......resist! ADA MB-1 midi bass preamp (item no: 130152414137) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADA-MB-1-MIDI-TUBE-BASS-PREAMP-VERY-RARE_W0QQitemZ130152414137QQihZ003QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]eBAY [/url] and the same guy is selling the matching ADA poweramp too! (item no: 130152419161) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADA-B500B-STEREO-POWER-AMP-VERY-RARE_W0QQitemZ130152419161QQihZ003QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]eBAY[/url] these used to be the business back in the day, and the bass ones particularly are rare to say the least. somebody buy it - so i don't!!! peace c
  6. [quote name='Shockwave' post='60261' date='Sep 14 2007, 09:43 AM']Sure you dont want to sell your LTD 1 ;-)[/quote] oh i'm quite sure! c
  7. Ok, I've been toying with selling this for a bit and I think the time is nigh! I bought it on a whim and it really doesn't get used, which is a shame as its a lovely (and quite rare) instrument. Immaculate condition Ibanez Sabre Bass SB900 LE. (The 'LE' is for limited edition due to the 'purple neon' finish - it kinda changes colour a bit depending on the light.) 4 string, active, fast, very slim neck, fantastic sound, very slim body (oo-er missus!). Comes complete with immaculate Ibanez hard case. Reason for selling? My main bass for a while now has been a Yamaha Attitude LTD 1 with a super wide neck and I've pretty much always played precisions or derivitives and for me, personally, the uber thinness of the Ibanez neck/string spacing is just something I'm not used to! Old dog - new tricks! Anyways looking for £350 plus postage. Ideally would like pick up though as I'm incredibly lazy and posting basses is a hassle (apparently it is for the grumpy old women behind the counter at my local yokel post office too!!). Of course if the buyer wants to arrange collection via a courier thats fine. ([i]Possibly[/i] open to trades on anything interesting: basses, guitars, amps, whatever! ) cheers c
  8. I've got a blue ltd1 that a bought used a couple of years ago. The seller was the original owner from new, and its anything BUT a POS! good enough for Billy, good enough for me! takes some getting used to with that huge neck mind you!!! peace c
  9. when i get a chance (hopefully tonight!) i'll be sticking the SB900LE up in the 'for sale' section along with some more pictures and stuff so you'll be able to check the bass out a bit better. peace c
  10. ....."Pointy things, Pink things" hmmmm....... I'm selling my immaculate Ibanez SB900 Limited Edition - Pointy [i]and[/i] Pink (..well ish!) - it has kinda 'two-tone' paint that looks different depending on what light its in - (goes from a kinda pinky lilac to bluey purple), active, fantastic fast thin neck, original hard case. Yours for £350 + postage therefore leaving you plenty of change for spending on other goodies!! peace c
  11. ooooh! heard about these in an interview with Billy a while back - look very nice (would like to see the red 'un) - best i start saving up!!! having said that - i then vaguely recall reading somewhere that they decided not to go into production with them!..... we'll see eh! peace c
  12. [quote name='SJA' post='57842' date='Sep 9 2007, 06:38 PM']the guy in the Stereophonics also hacked around a Stingray- took the MM pickup out and had 2 J's put in, with a new pickguard. then he sold it to the Bass Centre- and started playing Jazzes [/quote] yeah i was gonna mention that, he used it in one of their old videos (1000 trees maybe?) and i always thought it was quite neat!! peace c
  13. [quote name='Breakfast' post='57941' date='Sep 9 2007, 10:21 PM']As a rule I prefer to be a different colour to the background.[/quote] ...haha.... dunno why but that sentence amuses me!! anyways... i really don't like bands who just turn up and play in their normal street clothes that they've been wearing all day! you're there to put on a show so make some effort!!! Oasis used to really bother me seeing them standing around onstage in their dufflecoats and stuff and then of course all the wannabe bands started doing the same! grrrrrrr!!! in my band we all wear black/very dark or camo or combinations there of. Normally tee shirts with some sort of 'cool' logo on and also some wristbands/jewellery etc!! peace c
  14. i read a similar article ages ago - really not keen on the white stripes at all - theres the occasional [i]hint[/i] of something promising in bits of it but really, that drumming is sooooo bad its unbelievable. clumsy, basic to the point of amateur, borderline being out of time - absolutely atrocious. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! peace c
  15. yeah..Heaven and Hell + Mob Rules were, and in fact still are, fantastic albums. Dio rules..little fella! peace c
  16. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='56067' date='Sep 5 2007, 05:05 PM']Well put. A good instrument is a good instrument, whoever manufactured it, and whoever subsequently lent their name to it (or not, as the case may be!) I found a good 'un. It just happened to be a Billy Sheehan 10th Anniversary model... And Yamaha are as guilty as most with signature basses from Sheehan, Myung and Pattitucci at the very least![/quote] sell that... to me... NOW!
  17. I like Fenders me, but I totally agree about Fender's so called 'Custom' etc basses. Half the time they just look like and seem to have exactly the same features as the normal versions. I guess they're probably gonna be worth a bit more in the future but aside from that I really don't see alot of point. It wouldn't hurt Fender to be a bit more adventurous from time to time (something they seem to do more with the Squire brand these days). Also - just about every year, Guitarist magazine (and probably some of the others) has some kind of Fender (Tele/Strat whatever) splashed across the cover with 'Special Fender Anniversary Issue' 50th Anniversary of the Tele! 40th Anniversary of the Strat! there always seems to be [i]something[/i] to celebrate! - 10th anniversary of scraping around for a cover feature more like!!! peace c
  18. woah.... custom Ampeg 4x12 and 2x15 cabs would kick out some serious bassness! [url="http://www.ampeg.com/roundsound/2007/04/nice_one_geezer.html"]Heaven and Hell bass rig[/url] good, underated player too the old Geezer. peace c
  19. Fingerstyle all the way for me - so much more versatile with different techniques etc and with 3 fingers speed has never been a problem. I tried out for an emo/metal band once a few years back and when I got set up and everything they were like 'oh.... our bass players normally play with a pick' so I really dug in with my right hand to get some bite and for some reason they were well impressed! peace c
  20. [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='47844' date='Aug 20 2007, 06:25 PM']My "number one" is a 1995 Bernie Goodfellow GBIV Standard: [/quote] wheeeee! that looks very familiar! peace c
  21. i used to use one of these 4x12 cabs - absolutely awesome sound - in fact i'm thinking about going back down the 4x12 route again.... peace c
  22. [quote name='Russ' post='52245' date='Aug 29 2007, 12:12 PM'], The Crazy Gods Of Endless Noise,[/quote] woah! they were a cool band with some nice bass playing - saw em at reading and went and bought the album..still sounds quite good peace c
  23. yeah i've seen this guys cliips before - very nice tone - very Geddy! peace c
