"Get off!!! Your sh*te!!!"

I'll take a dozen!!!

just offered him 500 pence...he said" are you taking the p*ss" I said "you started it!!!!

Thats just hard core bass porn!!!!

well i got the bass yesterday, was late so i tried it on rocksmith and could find no hum/buzz??
today i plugged it into a bass amp and there was a slight hum but not too bad. twiddled with the tone and volume controls fast back and forth.
and the hum has gone!!!
so i am guessing a faulty pot?? should be easy fix

has now been cleaned up came up like new not bad for £30

and what would give me the best bang for buck improvment on sound???

well i have just brought a (cheap) P-bass. To tinker with, it has a bad humming issue and volume/tone ajustments
make no difference. so tomorrow i will pull it apart and check for grounding issues hopefuly i can fix it myself

Welcome Graham. My one piece of advice for using Basschat would be to avoid getting caught up in Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS). Just get a playable instrument and a practice amp and [i]enjoy[/i] the learning process.

Too Late I'm afraid...Already in the process of getting a Spector pro 4, little used off a guy on another(unrelated) forum, and looking at lots of other stuff as well . I am disabled so on a very tight budget(just as well realy). so I am also looking into getting old stuff, looking for a new lease of life

thank you i have an answer

just noticed one for sale on here ..it is NOT that bass i am asking about

been offered above in I'm told nice condition( not seen it yet) how much is a sensible price to pay. If all is ok
as i have no idea if this is a good, bad or indifferent bass or its value
thanks

well I been playing for a fair bit today, tried Rocksmith as my lad has it and says it will help me. And I really enjoyed it , but stone me my finger tips hurt

This bass playing lark aint easy is it, but I really am getting the bug!!! so looks like the Ashton could be getting a friend soon than I thought. but I won't tell the lad

Cool stuff - but I'll bet the Ashton is easier to play sitting down than the Warlock!

Don't know, not been allowed near it

thanks guys. to be honest I am really pleased with it,for a budget make it appears to be pretty solid, and today I picked up a BC Rich Warlock in fantastic Condition for £75
though my son has now claimed it!! and has'nt stopped playing it
Well I suppose it's my fault as the first thing I said to him was"check this out for me, to make sure it works ok".

well I just got my first bass a Ashton ab400 Cost me £30 so I know its a quality instrument
any jealous comments from Fender/Warwick etc owners will be ignored

anyway just had a quick go and it seems more than good enough for me to try and learn on. And if i take to it a decent bass will be sort ( may even spend over £70)

I know Ashtons are frowned upon but as i say... rather waste £30 than £300/400.

if anyone knows about these basses please let me know
thanks

picking up a eb0 clone(£30) today. with non working pick up as this is gonna be my first bass ( just to see if i can get to grips with it), I dont care much about quality or fantasic sound

question Is what pick up to put into it?? would any neck type do or is it a matter of tracking down a specific one? also price as said dont want to spend alot .

my lad has peavy, and aria basses along with some others so i know a fair sounding. he wont let me touch them!!! not a bad judge really
so any help would be great
please dont tell me to buy a all singing all dancing bass right now as if this gets me into it I will spend proper money then

hi everyone. Im graham ,55yrs old and NEVER touched a bass in my life!!!!
my son is a pretty good bedroom bassist and for xmas we got him rocksmith 2014 as an extra gift. long story short I now fancy having a go!!! (at bass not rocksmith)

Am i too old to learn new tricks??? and I also want to tinker/ fix old basses, am retired with lower body disability so plenty of time on my hands
any tips or things to avoid???

I will no doudt drive you all mad with questions about everything
so thanks in advance
