  2. [quote name='nick' timestamp='1340278252' post='1702096'] Hi Nemo, Can't help you with your enquiry, but could be a good idea posting it on Onlybass the French bass forum(?). I've always found it to be a Friendly forum.... [/quote] Yeah Onlybass is a cool place! [url="http://forum.onlybass.com/"]http://forum.onlybass.com/[/url]
  3. I'm endorsed (or I endorse?) Vigier. There's no contract but basically I spoke to them when I got my first Vigier and we had some interesting chats about their basses and forthcoming designs. I bought two more vigiers (though privately) and see the 'endorsement' as a mutural respect.. I could get a discount on a new bass, but frankly I am never going to replace my 1988 bass with anything so it's fairly redundant. I guess it's nice to be able to say, but in reality it doesn't mean anything. Perhaps if I went on tour then they would be helpful but I can't see that happening, can you?
  4. [quote name='Emanew' timestamp='1340231858' post='1701639'] Hi ped, Yes, i thought about de-fretting in the beginning. For 2 mains reasons i prefer looking for a "real" fretless : First, it is expensive and i already spent a lot for this beautiful monster. Secondly, this bass is designed for fretted sound (maple, Wengé) and slapping (broadneck). I don't want to alterate such a piece of work. The first time he saw this Streamer, my luthier said : " What a instrument, they are really well designed and built." Now i look a 6er fretless, i need to find the right tool. I don't have to ask this Maple/ Wengé Stage I to be the fretless (Alder or Azfelia or Bubinga ../ Ebony fingerboard) that i wish. Am i wrong ? [/quote] No, that all makes perfect sense. It could be very expensive to have it done properly. Good luck with the sale ped
  5. I wondered if you had thought about de-fretting the Warwick?

  14. Anyway, this is going nowhere and getting personal. Go outside and get some fresh air.
  15. Quite looking forward to his donation. Mind you, it would eat into his profit.. Shall I hold my breath?

    Fave guitar solo?

    We're all bass players here but there's no doubting there's little better to do with your time than listen to a guitar solo. Especially when you know you can switch it off afterwards and not have to speak to the guitarist. My fave solo ever is by Pink Floyd on the track 'Wearing The Inside Out' - the solo at the end of the track just sounds like the guitar is speaking... whilst I consider some guitarists to make their guitars sing, I've always found Floyd solos are intellectually superior and just so complex and multi layered. I can listen to this solo again and again and never tire of it. I was thinking we should all post a youtube clip of our fave solo with a time stamp to say when the solo begins. Check out 5.10 here: [media]http://youtu.be/5HmfwLvJZIg?t=5m13s[/media] Cheers ped
  17. OK now updated - have a play and see what you think folks ped
  18. [quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1339433105' post='1688407'] Ped, Can any old BassChatter post in the Affiliates forum with a link/info on a deal for all of us others to see. E.g. When I saw the deal from Coda Music over the Jubilee Weekend, are you happy enough for me to post it up in there? I thought the Affiliates forum was for owners of businesses to use, not us general throng... [/quote] Yes I think that's a good idea. It hadn't crossed my mind up until now. I'll change the forum description and perhaps re-name the forum. Cheers
  19. Only if they offer a BC discount. I'll have a tidy up and hopefully clear up any questions this week.
  20. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1339417948' post='1688081'] I rarely, if ever, go there, so I dont think that suggestion serves me. Whats wrong with a trader wanting to shift something quickly at a bargainprice ? You can always ignore it if youre not looking. [/quote] Start looking there! That's what the section is for, perhaps it needs cleaning up and making clearer. That's something I have been meaning to do for a while!
