[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1382290866' post='2250205'] Yes! And as gear4music are doing them for £188 it seems rude not to, really. I'd have bought one by now but for the fact I've already given cash to The Bass Doc for certain services... ... no, not [i]those [/i]type of services. [/quote] I know it sounds very sad but I don't even have 188 pence right now oh woe is me lol

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1382290248' post='2250184'] Yoooouuuu'rreee welcome... It was originally £269 RRP too, which was still a bargain imho. [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/reviews/V4MVW_BassJan2012.pdf"]http://www.jhs.co.uk...BassJan2012.pdf[/url] [/quote] Yep thats the kinda thing and a maple board too mmmmm

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1382289436' post='2250159'] The Vintage V4 P got some good reviews. It has Wilkinson pickups and hardware too, which is generally well-regarded. I'm seriously thinking of getting one as a spare/backup. [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Vintage-V4-Bass-Guitar-Maple-Neck-Vintage-White/S6K"]http://www.gear4musi...ntage-White/S6K[/url] 14-day money-back guarantee too - and a 4-year warranty for an extra twenty quid. Worth thinking about. I'll see if I can find a review of it... [/quote] Why thank you kind sir much appreciated

Right guys n gals,I have decided after much experimenting that I just do not get on with Jazz basses now I thought they would be better for my stupid knackered hands but my hands are just to big for those slim necks so I am going back to a P bass, I should hopefully have about £200 to spend when my jazz sells now what I would like to know is what brands of P basses are worth looking at now I know the obvious ones like Squire , Vintage etc will be in that price range but is there anything else worth looking at ? I am going to try the S/H route as obviously I will get a bit more bass for my smallish budget. Now any ideas will be appreciated maybe a brand I have overlooked blah blah blah you know the drill Thanks all

Nice one thanks lads

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1382248659' post='2249635'] As nobody has mentioned it, I try to keep a diary of my practice. It helps show progress, especially if you put down the metronome bpm you can play riffs at if you're trying to get faster. WRT time per day. Id love to say it's a regular 2 hours, but with a job, mortgage etc, life isn't so easy to find the time every day. To all the young out there; use the time well. Its a luxury you won't always have.

Silly question but Can lemon oil be used on a maple fretboard ? I have only had rosewood boards in the past so also wondered .....sorry for the slight thread hijack

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1382192870' post='2249122'] OK... if someone is prepared to pay £700 for it, then that's what it's worth. To that person. But buying a pedal, or a bass, or an amp because you think it'll make you sound like a particular player is crazy. Why would you want to sound like someone else? Chris whatsisname already sounds like Chris whatsisname. The world doesn't need [i]another [/i]Chris whatsisname! Especially one that is only ever going to be an imitation of Chris whatsisname!

I think it is a personal thing as to something being overpriced some people might say wow that Fender is way to expensive at 2 grand but some one else may think wow that's a cheap Fender for 2 grand so there's not really a definitive answer to the original post......is there?

[quote name='MB1' timestamp='1382185709' post='2249022'] MB1. I've previously owned an Alembic SC signature and I'm having difficulty seeing any similarity whatsoever? [/quote] Do you think it is some kind of fake or copy Martin?

Steel Panther here always makes me smile

Not my kind of music but it has a nice "Groove" to it

Never heard either versions just listened to them but not really my cup of tea

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1382122704' post='2248435'] tip don't start at the begining. Start at matthew. And sorry to hear you're not well. Are you able to get some bass playing in? that's my musical escape while not well . [/quote] Thanks Luke sometimes get some bass in but not as often as I would like mate

I have been off work for nearly 18 months long story so wont bore you all with that but yeah the pills and potions they give you certainly have knocked me for six I feel like a druggie lol I must admit I am bored silly I cant do lot but Christ being at home all day everyday is so boring I am used to working at least 12 hours every day and even though I would say the job I had was rubbish it was work and gave me a meaning to get up in the morning do a days graft and live a normal life. I try to keep myself busy the best I can at home but it is hard with being ill blah blah blah its diving me mental but like FinnDave I am not going to give up and go down the self pity route I am just going to concentrate and try and get as well as I can get and try to find some suitable job I can do I need to do that for myself but mainly for my family I want to show my kids a good ethic regarding work and family. I have even been pondering going to church and reading the bible I don't really know why as religion has never really appealed to me before and I used to think it was a load of BS but maybe it is because I need to find some faith and something good to believe in? right that's my deep and meaningful over lol

That looks really cool
