I went last night my mate kindly took me . Holger and Reggie were absolutely amazing bass players and nice guys to boot and Holger is a really easy going guy and he is not stuck up his own backside he is just a genuine guy who oozes passion for bass and his craft and he gave a great talk the basses were very nice too unfortunately the evening was cut really short because some arsehole complained about noise at the venue so the guy who owned the venue had to pull the plug on the evening

Now gone

Would love one of these basses but they are so bloody heavy if they were lighter I would get one as they sound awesome

If it was my money I would rather buy a Vintage or Squier branded bass

I personally hate that style of music but wow she certainly is a fantastic bass player there is no doubt about that

This seems very good for the money http://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-erb561srg-700w-hvlp-electric-spray-gun-220-240v/11628

I would like to have another p bass or replace my zodiac that got broken but am not really bothered about much else gear wise ATM

Could be a bad set of strings do you have another set to try?

Certainly a great player but I was bored after the first minute it is the style of playing that I call bass w***ing lol

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1410955781' post='2554975'] Does anyone know a good method (or tool) for adjusting the truss rod on an old Fender bass (at the heel) without having to take the neck off!? I'd rather avoid that if possible... [/quote] you can also take the two rear neckplate screws out and tilt the neck back slightly in the pocket

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1410939257' post='2554765'] Or, if you want to deal in absolutes which are bound to piss someone off, BC is full of lowballing chancers? [/quote] This there are plenty of low ball chancers on here now we all try to get a tiny bit off or do a deal but some times you get some idiot trying to offer you about half of what the bass is worth I don't know why this seems to be a trend now on BC as it didn't used to be that way.But with prices I only ever lower to the lowest I am willing to go I would rather keep my stuff than give it away as neepheid pointed out earlier about selling on gumtree and the like I agree it is much easier to sell on there than BC which is a shame really as it is nice dealing with other members and keeping an instrument in the fold so to speak
