Not happy with mine

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

[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

[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

[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

[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

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

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?

Cheapo Silverline battery tester from Amazon about a fiver job done

Not my thing but great guitar playing a very C.O.B/ Celtic Frost thing going on

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1386004532' post='2294526'] I miss reading about his 'improvement' of guitars and basses, gave me hours of fun before the basschat ban. [/quote] Why was it banned? did MDP complain or something? or was the thread getting a bit naughty?

[quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1385656488' post='2290784'] You go online for as long as you like. I find the music theory lessons helpful too and they're thrown in as a bonus. But bearing other people's experiences in mind, it's probably worth checking out some sample lessons to see if you get on with Nathan East's approach: [url="http://play.artistworks.com/free-bass-lessons-nathan-east?&__hssc=9434218.1.1385656126545&__hstc=9434218.cf7b24af45c056ad0138e1a4fa938230.1377790961244.1385576983274.1385656126545.43&hsCtaTracking=33bd3303-4cdd-409d-95a8-93c07fdc2ae5%7Cd4f1eae2-d4be-4bb4-8771-f18a25de50f3"]http://play.artistwo...71-f18a25de50f3[/url] [/quote] Hi Sarah thank you very much I shall check that out

Instead of using clamps you could always put a thin bit of card around the bass then wrap tape over the card to hold the bass together while the glue sets so you do not mark the finish with the clamps and everyone has some card and tape kicking about in there bodgers toolbox lol

My go to bass at present is my Vintage V4 Icon I have modded it a bit and it is pretty much all that I need in a bass and it is the cheapest bass I have ever owned it is certainly not the best bass I have owned but it is just so comfy to play and sounds pretty damn good too and I am not worried about it getting scratched and stuff like I am with other basses I own or have owned

I think I may make myself a couple of picks out of an old thick leather belt I have I know it is not a new idea but I would like to try it I have been told it sounds more like finger playing than pick playing

[quote name='Mog' timestamp='1385925259' post='2293727'] Haven't really taken to the newest album. It's a lot better than the folk music they've been releasing over the last decade though. Gossard needs to get more involved in the song writing IMO. He was definitely the driving force on the earlier albums. [/quote] Having listened to the whole album now I tend to agree with you I think there is the one great track and the rest are just fillers I was a bit disappointed to be honest as I was expecting a good album off the back of Mind your manners

[quote name='LITTLEWING' timestamp='1385917667' post='2293597'] Hey Les, check out Fender Koilkord on Ebay, there's loads on there as little as £9.00 free p&p. [/quote] I just looked at those they look like the power lead from a 70's hairdryer

I use an old laptop bag and find I can fit all my bits and bobs in there a treat

Looking good am looking forward to seeing it finished slightly off topic but how did your spray attempt turn out on your other bass? or have you not sprayed it yet?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1385899027' post='2293257'] ... cos I don't understand how this works. [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Midnight-Rider-The-Essential-Collection/dp/B00BQEHUUW/ref=sr_1_1?s=dmusic&ie=UTF8&sr=1-1&keywords=midnight+rider"]http://www.amazon.co...=midnight+rider[/url] Buy the MP3 download for £5.49. Or buy the actual CD for £3.00 and they give you the MP3 download. [/quote] I am also confused by this the worlds gone wacky lol

Well I have never really liked Pearl jam much but the other day I had Planet Rock on and this song came on and I thought wow what a cool song and when I heard him say it was a song from pearl jam I was really amazed as to me it is so different to the stuff they have done before, the name of the track is called "Mind your manners" if anyone is interested I liked it that much I may even check out there new album
