    Hi all, Loath as I am to do this I have to sell some gear to get some funds together for my college course. So I am gonna sell the bass I use least at the moment even though I really like it... bah. Its a Rockbass Corvette 4 string Standard with active pickups. Fitted (and including) Schaller Strap locks. The same as this one here - in fact I bought it from them... [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/BassGuitars/pid10209/cid560/WarwickRockbassCorvette4StringActiveVersioninNatural.asp"]Rockbass Corvette[/url] The bass is practically brand new - I dont think there's a mark on her.... I would prefer to sell it with the Gator Flight case I bought with it as none of my other basses fit in it.... but will split if I need to. For postage I would suggest buying with the flight case but if picking up there would be no need. Case is this one: [url="http://www.gatorcases.com/productsmodeldetail.aspx?LID=2&PID=5&MID=44"]Gator TSA GPE Flight case[/url] I am hoping for £310 for both items if purchased together - add a £10 if you want em delivered (but I would recommend to pickup) Or if I have to split.. £245 for the bass and £85 for the case (again add £10 for posting of each item - would prefer pickup to save anguish and heart ache caused by couriers/royal mail) This is a bargain as the flight case hasn't been out of my house and the bass is barely used. I will post pictures later or tomorrow. Bank transfer for payment preferred as I need the cash like yesterday lol Thanks for looking!

    If you can stretch to it this is, in my humble opinion, a very good bass. [url="http://www.tanglewoodguitars.co.uk/products/default.asp?cID=26463245&sID=66460587"]Tanglewood TW55[/url] I have one and its possibly my favourite bass to play. Mind you I like Death Cab For Cutie so that might explain that

    [quote name='6stringbassist' post='492578' date='May 19 2009, 06:21 PM']As new, I'm getting a Gigskinz bag that'll take everything so this is surpless. £20 plus postage.[/quote] Is this just the head bag or the full combo and head bag? If its the full one I quite fancy it!

    Hey all, I wanted to take a full size flightcased bass on hols next week but bought this instead (the one on the left obviously next to my old Ibanez) Its a Tanglewood Elfin Bass (EB-18MAH) Description: Double cutaway, 1/2 size bass guitar Solid body Maple neck Rosewood fingerboard Split/Single Pickup Tone & Volume controls Chrome bridge & tailpiece Die-cast machine heads Mahogany finish Its a sort of deep purple woodstain gloss finish and it sounds suprisingly alright ! Very well made for such a cheap item. I am gonna take the neck off and pop it in my hold all along with a headphone amp and MP3 player so I can hide from the wife and her family and practice a bit I am still chuckling everytime I pick it up its so small lol And before I get the piss taken out of me it only cost me £16.50 and an old combo I was gonna trade in anyway - so its a bargain. Cant wait to rock the open mic night with it hehe. Cheers! Edd

    Funnily enough I emptied my loft to make space to put more stuff up there and found semi naked pics of my ex fiance. The wife wasnt impressed.

    I am very fond of Loney Dear. (from Wiki) 'Loney, Dear is the pseudonym of Swedish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanängen. He has self-released four albums of music in his native Sweden' I am very impressed with him mainly due to the fact he plays every damn instrument on his album AND sings AND recorded a lot of it at home on a little recording rig. Plus I like the fretless sound on this track a lot. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwmPACtcITg"]Loney Dear - Airport Surroundings[/url] He might not be up with some of the ones above but I like him and his music quite a bit. Have a listen and tell me what you think. I am still way off his standard but would love to learn that track. Edd

    New bass!

    agroupuk posted a topic in Gear Gallery

    Hey folks, I finally took the plunge and bought a new Squier Reissue Jazz bass today. The guy in the shop couldnt believe how fast it flew out (he only got it in 10 mins before I got there hehe) Been wanting one like this for a while but there was never one in a shop I could look at locally and had held off from internet purchasing one ... well... just in case build quality was off. Picked it up in the shop and it felt right. Nice neck, nice spacing, light, tactile and a superb smooth shape. Plays really nicey and sounds awesome! Anyhow - heres a few pics.

    I had Rotosound flats on my Tanglewood TW55. They sound really nice - very double bassy. But I have recently (a month or so ago) swapped them out for Thomastik Infeld Acousticore (nylon cored strings) I now dont have the double bass sound I had previously but my playing of the acoustic has improved and I am a lot more articulate using these. I think the E string is around .85 in size compared to the 110(?) that the roto's had. Much easier to play but a lot brighter. I love the sound and wont be swapping back anytime soon - Try the Acousticores if you can (Sound like roto flats are what you want tho)

    Start on 4 pints a night, then up it a pint a night till you go. Thats all you need to do.

    Hey all. I have a Tanglewood acoustic bass and I dont really find the tone plugged in with the under saddle piezo to be as good as the unplugged tone. I have a Genz Benz shuttle 3 head and was wondering what (if its possible!) I would need to use an external mic from the bass to the amp. Would it be: Bass>Condenser Mic>phantom power supply>main in on amp? Would that do it? and if so any low budget recommendations to fill my needs? Cheers! Edd

    Hi all. I just changed strings on my Tanglewood TW55A/BassB acoustic bass (BBand pickup) I was using Rotosound flats on it with uber high tension but good thump. Figured I would go the other way and try some light tension strings. Just fitted Tomastik Infeld nylon cored acoustic bass strings. (they feel great btw!) I sorted out my truss rod because of the tension difference and unplugged it sounds nice. Plugged in and the E seems quieter than the other strings... Is it possible I have damaged the peizo pickup whilst restringing? I dont know anything about peizo's or even where the damn thing is (saddle I am guessing lol) Is it common? is it moveable? Any help appreciated in sorting this out! Cheers Edd
