  1. I did not really like the song but that style of music is not to my taste anyway I thought the video was done to a very high standard Good job mate
  2. Quote from SD [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][size=3] [b]Functions of switches on old-style "Active EQ" bass pickups[/b] We stopped making the switch pickups ("Active EQ") in the mid-'90s. We replaced them with the Pro-Active? series. The little rocker switches on the Active EQ pickups change the sound. Switch #1 shifts the coil resonance. On a Jazz Bass? neck pickup and a P Bass? pickup, the resonance moves downward from 22 KHz to 6.4 KHz. On a Jazz Bass bridge pickup, it move downwards from 17 KHz to 4.9 KHz. The effect is to give a more focused sound with a harder attack. Switch #2 gives a broad band bass boost of 4 dB for the Jazz Bass neck and P Bass pickups, and 5 dB for the Jazz Bass bridge. The switches can be a very effective tool for changing the tonal "character" of your instrument. [/size][/font][/color]
  3. Had a trade lined up with Will, I sent my bass off to him but unfortunately it did not suit Will so he sent it back to me and refunded all my postage costs and expenses so we did not trade basses but person wise it was a smooth deal and that really cant be faulted so all is good here Would deal with Will again.
  4. Would love this oh why do I have too be poor? GLWTS matey
  5. [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1386578385' post='2301576'] Is this the squier ? Fender one is MIJ and has no maple neck option. [/quote] I Think it is the Fender Modern Player series they are made in China and have a maple option
  6. I think that is a cool looking bass
  7. Hi mates now I am kinda not good at music software but is there anything that will let me play along to my music but drop the bass out so I can play bass along to the song? Cheers

  10. I bought a bass from G4M and it was as if a 2 year old had packed it me thinks this is why they have so much damaged stuff on ebay

  12. [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1386443087' post='2300266'] Copies, don't make up for the real thing [/quote] Why? are the copies good? lol

  14. If your that desperate buy a cheap Chinese copy and save your self 1100 bangers still just as good and it also sticks 2 fingers up at a certain person who must not be named.
  15. I think what gets me down with my playing is that I can honestly say I do not have any natural talent so what ever I achieve on my bass has come from lots of hard work and practice I think if I had some raw ability to start with I think i may be happy with my playing , sometimes I knock out a few tunes and think yeah who's the daddy lol but recently I think my playing has gone to pot since being unwell I think I have forgotten more than I know and sometimes I don't pick up my bass for days on end but I am really trying to "make" myself play a little every day even if it is messing about around the board
  16. Not happy with mine
  17. I voted yes as they come with them new so should really be sold on with one I have bought most of my amps second hand and they have always been sent with the lead
  18. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1386250871' post='2297696'] Agreed. But my perception is that that is happening less often now. There seems to be quite a few (often non-UK) members who are selling quite a lot of gear (particularly basses) and have done for quite a long time, but have extremely post counts - implying that they don't venture out of the marketplace to get involved in discussions or share knowledge (one of the main advantages of BC IMO). Not that I'm saying that's wrong - I just perceive that there is more of it going on now than there was. It also means that the old caveat of "beware of buying from/selling to Newbies" has to be relaxed somewhat - as there are so many newbies! [/quote] I could not agree with this more but what can you do? And if I am honest I think it is a bit of a risk buying from a Newbie with no feedback but then on the other hand people with positive feedback can also be a waste of space
  19. [quote name='bazzagringo' timestamp='1386184577' post='2296919'] Hey Folks, Thanks a lot for the advice, Very much appreciated. However the funds set aside for the Sadowsky have to now be diverted to Mothercare erm patter of tiny feet and all that So if anyone out there wants to buy the Sadowsky seeing as I cannot now....... fill yer boots. [/quote] Congratulations
  20. [quote name='Jonnyboy Rotten' timestamp='1386176990' post='2296795'] You can also get this very thin tape which is designed to be wrapped around screw thread. When the screw is err screwed into the hole, the tape binds and provides more friction and also fills any small gaps there may have been before. I can't remember what its called but it is similar in principle to plumbers tape to water-seal screw threaded pipes. [/quote] PTFE tape mate
  21. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1386149650' post='2296314'] You are aware that that is Stu's book...? So basically, you want to rip Stu off? [/quote] If you dont want to buy the book you can always request a copy from your local library then no one gets "ripped" off and everyone is happy
  22. I may have missed the point but wouldnt it be easier to run a small combo to do this? certainly alot less to lug around
  23. Bugger I miss all the deals lol well 2nd dibs if for some unreal reason if tony decides not too have it
  24. There is another thread on this and I think it goes along the lines that the site admin did not want to block replies ...so really you can only blame the people who abused the items wanted section for the replies being turned off I know it is a bit annoying but what else could be done?
  25. Cheapo Silverline battery tester from Amazon about a fiver job done
