    What I`d like to know is how you can be a Hawkwind tribute band and be a trio!! Tell him to stuff it. And the drummer if he`s wanting to go along with the guitarist. I would never let anyone tell me what to play, I can ba*ls it up on my own thank you. If you aren`t happy you should walk. It is supposed to fun after all. By the way, like the idea of the tea cosy.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' post='731743' date='Feb 1 2010, 02:20 PM']+1 I really can't understand (other than laziness) why so many folk list items as collect only (ebay is especially bad) it's almost like they don't want to sell their gear. It's real easy to box things up and organise collection - in fact I enjoy it (as anyone who's bought anything big off me will testify). I think it is well ignorant to expect that this forum is just for people that live in 50 mile radius of yourself. Ok the shipping adds a bit to the final cost but it is easily recouped when you sell the item on again. Having said that all, I've sold gear on here when alternatives are readily available only because the alternatives won't ship.... also I think you can make intuitive judgements on the condition of an item who's seller can't be arsed to ship. So it's swings and roundabouts for me.[/quote] That`s a mental statement. People list it as collect only due to laziness?. Well ignorant? I have put stuff for sale on here as collect due to the fact I work all week and don`t have the time to post or the packaging materials to pack the stuff with. I also had a bad experiance a couple of years ago when stuff I sent went walkies: no end of hassle. I also advertise the stuff on gumtree and that`s where I sell most of my gear. I only put it on here to see if anyone local wants it and I like people to try before they buy. If you don`t want to collect the gear from the buyer, then don`t buy it. But I agree with Jon, stick the location in the heading. Jez

    You say in the post that you are happy with the sound that you get from your Jazz, so why change it? Some people change basses to find a tone that they are really happy with, which you seem to have found already. The L2000 is capable of doing both Jazz and P bass sounds and is a great bass in it`s own right. Beware though, the neck width can vary from 42mm to 44mm and the neck can be chunky especially compared to a jazz. It is a very versatile bass. Jez

    Words of wisdom on bass. From me? Wrong guy!!! You are quite welcome to come down and have a blast on mine on saturday. It`s a Highway 1 but it`s near enough! We are playing in Elderslie. Jez

    Ah Steve, you are finally seein sense!! Some people say that they have only one sound but in a live setting, I find that they cut through like nothing else. As for value about, £300 sounds about right for one in good nick and no issues but bear in mind that you can get one of the new ones, which are supposed to be excellent, from Soundslive mail order for £389.

    I`ve got a set of Status flats on mine and they sound like....well flats! Bit dull but nice and fat and at about £19 a set worth a go. I prefer the tone I get with the flats to the D`arrios I had on the jazz before. You get them direct from their website. Jez

    Do you mean a Hercules Grabbit? The one that grabs the bass when you put it into it? Jez

    Definatley a bass guitar problem, which I can resolve by giving you £50 for your Rickenbacker! That`s my biggest downfall, always thinking of other people. Jez

    Cheers for all the input guys. I have picked up a bass pod as part of a deal and am gonna use the chorus on this if I need it. Jez

    Souns like a scam. A couple of months ago I was selling a bass on gumtree and got an e mail from someone saying that they were in Canada working but wanted to buy the bass for someone in Scotland. They wanted me to send em a paypal bill of some kind. Told em to fluck off. I reported them to Gumtree and they agreed. Scamming ba**ards!! Jez

    Had another play of this yesterday as I thought I was being a bit hasty. Nah, still cant get on with it so if anyone wants to swap for cash, a Jazz or an Ibby of some kind, 4 string only, gives a shout. Local only or within driving distance. Cheers Jez

    That looks tasty! Like the colour of the body, a very good contrast to the board. Jez

    Jim Mine`s a bit of a heavy bugger as well but not as heavy as the poxy Jaguar I owned! It`s also quite a nice looking bit of wood for the price. Jez

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='722123' date='Jan 23 2010, 01:03 PM']Here's 'that bass' [/quote] Nowt wrong with that lad, a bit of gaffer tape and it`ll be ok! The only one I have seen him play live is his signiture model. [attachment=40889:lemmy_431x300.jpg] Jez

    Aye, play it note for note. The basslines are a doddle but if the crowd get into it, your havin it large! Jez

    In his book White line fever, Lemmy said that his roadie damaged his favourite Rickinbacker bass and although it could be repaired, his roadie went mad, smashed the thing to pieces and was promptly sacked! I`m not sure which one but he said it was his favourite at the time. I don`t think it was his famoue Rickenb*stard. [attachment=40860:lemmyy.gif] Jez

    On a sort of similsr vein, who is the guy who plays bass with Robbie Williams? He plays a cracking looking black P bass. Anyone know anything about him? Jez
  23. jezzaboy
    No thanks mate. It`s a sale I`m looking for . Cheers Jez

    Rodney, you plonker!! Well I`m a plonker. Having owned a thunderbird in the past, I thought I could live with it and gave into GAS and bought a Pro in black. It`s a cracking bass and looks the biz but having gave it a good workout at a rehersal last night, it`s not for me. I just can`t get it to sit comftorably. As much as I want to keep it, I know that it will sit there doing nothing. The bass is as new, not a mark on it. I have fitted a strap button on the back and as anyone with one will tell you, it cures the neckdive. It has a set of Rotosound Jazz flatwounds fitted and I will throw in the oriiginal strings. I got the bass from Thomann and payed £300 for it and the strings cost £27 so I reckon that £240 is a fair price for an as new, only been out to one rehersal bass. It`s collection from Paisley or I could meet you somewhere not too far away. Photo is stock as camera is goosed. [attachment=40833:xl__ebtptbbh1_1_.jpg] Right, I`m away to sit in the corner! Jez
