I agree something high end would have the brand in the title.

Also you wouldn't generally sell a high end bass as a part of a bass,effects and amp package.

He also has 0 feedback.

Damn i only have the Hoyt Pro Ultra Elite

Check out the questions.

He really might not know the difference but i doubt it.

I am buying that bass

[quote name='Herr Fixxxer' post='223762' date='Jun 21 2008, 07:03 PM']Mine was a 4s Stagg, P/J config, sunburst finish.
It served me well, only thing is I was (and still am) a guitar player so I used to play it with a pick and all my bass lines were like guitar lines.[/quote]

I always play with a pick but a lot of bass lines i play are very fast and need alternate picking.

Our band has 2 people with talent and 2 people without talent i'm in the latter but when we get together we make good noise and we have fun, they are my best friends an it's very you get that.

£70 + postage tonight only on the bay first thing in the morning

More than welcome to pick up from near canterbury

Thank god someone said it.

[quote name='eastwind' post='223625' date='Jun 21 2008, 03:26 PM']Mine was a late 60's early 70's Ibanez with about 4 scratch plates a la Burns on it.It was given to me by my brothers friend.
I wanted a Gibson Grabber but was only 14 (1976) so I stripped the paint put a Grabber style plate on it and french polished it.
It played and sounded wonderful with 2 chrome humbuckers on it.
I snapped the neck at the headstock but repaired it, then it broke again and I honestly have no idea what happened to it.

No idea what model it was as I cannot find it on the interweb.[/quote]

Do you still have it or that rather lovely jumper?

[quote name='mewsie' post='223565' date='Jun 21 2008, 01:08 PM']yes i do still have it. its a vintage something-or-other.

it cost me £229 i think, from a little shop in chorley, lancs.

i'd just been suspended from work for something really, really dumb, totally legal and ethical, totally above board, so i was feeling a thousand and one emotions all at once, generally feeling pretty low. so i decided as i was feeling low i might as well play that way and decided to buy my first bass.

i got home all excited and happy, turned on the tv just as the reports were coming in of the first plane having flown into the twin towers. i'll never forget that day!

I don't know wy but 1st basses usually have the most character and also have the best stories behind them.

[quote name='dabootsy' post='223496' date='Jun 21 2008, 11:38 AM']mine was an Eko acoustic which was massive and i used to carry it on my moped to rehearsals
i was 16 and i think it was £99 which was a lot 25 years ago and i had to fill it with an old sheet to stop getting feedback which made it heavy[/quote]



I bet that was hillarious to watch.

Do you still have your first ever bass?

What was it ?
How much did it cost?
How old were you?

Pics?


I still have mine it's an Encore that i bought from Cash Converters when i was 12 for my birthday i saved up and put all my birthday money towards it, it cost £45 but i got it for £40 because the e string was missing (took me 2 monthsto afford one) it is 3/4 scale i didn't know this at the time and when i got my next bass i was shocked by the size lol i'll put a pic up later.

Good work lol i may well buy it.

After all the fakes you see it's good to see someone who is honest [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PRECISION-COPY-FAKE-A-PHONEY-NOT-FENDER_W0QQitemZ260252212066QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260252212066&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A2&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]HERE[/url]

Just had a listen it's a nice song not really my thing but quite smooth.

I don't we play anything that isn't in 4/4 and i love it

7/4? thats devil talk.

[quote name='Clarky' post='222942' date='Jun 20 2008, 02:06 PM']Don't knock it - I would never have been able to get in a band if complex lines with a modicum of skill were needed!

Actually in one of my more repetitive bass lines at Tommy Flynn's in Camden the other night I totally lost it as the Euro 2008 was on TV near the stage and there was a great attack by the Russians .....[/quote]

Damn the amount of times i have done that i end up watching the football and the song changes and i don't, my god the rest of the band get upset lol

You may have some competition

I agree promoters no longer promote they just take the money from the people the bands bring in.

Thats fine but why would you usev a di box when there is a balanced output on the front of the amp.

I have had alot of soundmen plugging there DI boxes into my FX loop output totally ignoring the XLR output next to it when i see that i know its going to be a fun night.
