This sounds awesome... Although i will not have anything worth bringing myself. What should I expect from the day, i have no idea how these Bash's work?

[quote name='El_JimBob' post='240361' date='Jul 15 2008, 08:30 PM']Correct sir, it's the John Hornby Skewes 'ad mag' - seems to get everywhere these days - hasn't helped sales of Spongebob ukuleles tho....[/quote] Haha... Yeh i forgot to mention the great ads for everything spongebob! So now am i to believe the Vintage Advance range is half decent or not? Trevor Wilkinson knows what he's doing does he not? I've also been wondering whether his Italia Modulus Bass is any good with 4pickups, one for each string? Its certainly unique.

I fear it is confusion... Damnit!

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='240262' date='Jul 15 2008, 06:10 PM']or dare i say, a bit older![/quote] Nah... im as immature as it gets, and the day i dont laugh at American Pie & Super Bad will be the day i get myself cremated.

Im originally a big metal/rock loving man, and am learning the bass to play in such a band, but since i've been researching and learning i've noticed my ears are now partial to a bit of blues, jazz, and funk! I find myself putting on a bit of Jaco or Bootsy when i get in from work to unwind rather than my usual blend of Avenged, Atreyu, and Dio. Has anyone else found this or am i the only one going mad?

On another note, I bought a copy of Guitar Buyer at the weekend, solely for a review of the Warwick Streamer LX & a piece on Steinberger and his innovations, anyway, it came with a copy of Gear (the uk's #1 free musicians magazine). Does anyone know wether Trev Wilkinson has anything to do with this mag because it was the most pro Vintage & Fret-King read ive ever had. My only surprise was that there were no Italia's in there.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='235578' date='Jul 9 2008, 11:23 AM']To be honest (am I the only one who types that anymore??), I think they're both pretty shoddy. BassPlayer is full of crappy adverts using phrases like "Holdin' it down with the Dawg Pound" etc etc, and BGM lacks the bollocks to call a peice of kit sh*t when reviewing it. I still buy both though. I think BGM has potential but needs a kick up the arse.[/quote] Im a complete beginner, and wont pick up my first bass properly untill friday, and ive bought a couple of issues of both mags and out of the pair i preferred BGM it was just a little easier to get into with limited knowledge, but i agree with BigBeef, i still wasnt all that impressed. Maybe the more i get to the know the subject the more i'll appreciate them, but jusy like most of you, i'll continue to buy both.

Are the Corvette Standard and $$ as heavy, and uncomfortable as what a lot of people say? With a nice wide comfy strap i find it hard to believe any bass can get "heavy" over your average gig set.

[quote name='L1zz1e' post='240049' date='Jul 15 2008, 02:12 PM']Im sure it will make a comeback.. Either that or you could corner a new market, water into beer![/quote] Don't get me wrong, im good at what i do but beer is a recipe best left well alone. In my eyes there is Kronenburg, and there are other beers. I know Messiahburg could never match Kroney for it sheer hops-iness (a real word, probably), and attention to fizz and slow release drunkeness, and i would never want to produce just 'another' beer. For this reason i only produce Red Wine, and Spirits. note: Jesus is under 40years of age and therefore does not drink fizzless beer and ales.

[quote name='L1zz1e' post='239813' date='Jul 15 2008, 10:38 AM']What about that water into wine stuff? I bet you get invited to all the parties![/quote] Wines not as popular with the mass's as it used to be. Water into Sambuca draws a bigger crowd these days.

[quote name='elom' post='239648' date='Jul 14 2008, 11:40 PM']He's your own personal jesus (every newbie gets a free one as part of the forum software)[/quote] Yup, bass buddies. Any problem whatsoever give me a shout and i'll try and turn it into fish or something. Its what i do.

[quote name='L1zz1e' post='239312' date='Jul 14 2008, 05:05 PM']hehe well, its more about who i like than what really. What can be pretty much anything thats good. Players include, Danyel Morgan (robert randolph), [color="#000000"][size=4]Jesus[/size][/color] (Lettuce) Stanley Clarke, Wooten, Jamerson, Meshell Ndgeocello umm and probably loads ive forgotten! =0)[/quote] Im new too, and in a few short days i've dwindled far too much of my time away reading these pages, learning, GAS-ing, learning, GAS-ing, GAS-ing, and debating the correct use of Jobseekers Allowance. People seem cool, and the banter light hearted. I like it, welcome! Jesus (Deano)

Man i love these $$. Nirvanna black all the way, so what if their popular, you'll be the only guy in your band playing one!

Ok, cool. Thanks for the info. Its been described as very good for a second hand bass so i hope its close to the immaculate it was when you had it. Cheers Tauzero

[quote name='tauzero' post='239032' date='Jul 14 2008, 11:39 AM']I sold one recently...[/quote] Yes, I thought it may have been yours that i have just bought from Ebay, red. What was it like as a bass? i should recieve it friday. Sorry Madiccy...

I really like the Nirvana black ones, but they also look pretty good in blue.

Me likey. A corvette $$ is my dream bass. I very nearly paid out for a Corvette Standard as a first bass because i fell for the shape as soon as i wondered aimlessly onto the Warwick site. It will be mine... Oh yes. It will be mine... Jesus

[quote name='BassBod' post='238586' date='Jul 13 2008, 03:58 PM']That's pretty identical to my old one, except the cabinet looks taller? I'm sure the amp was closer to the speakers, and it was a fair bit shorter. Maybe they enlarged the cab to get more low end? BB[/quote] Thats sounds exactly like the one i saw on ebay not so long ago, identicle, but no gap between the top of the subs and the amp. That one was also in excellent condition and had silver corner protectors rather than the black my one used to have.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='238371' date='Jul 13 2008, 10:40 AM']Now - hadn't you better get back to the loaves & fishes? J.[/quote] It's Sunday, my day of rest! Ive just popped over to that link, its very anti non-matsumoko but ive posted a few pics anyway. There's a visible S starting the serial so it will probably be greatly ignored, im about to email Aria now, i dont know how helpful and quick they are?

Thanks Steve, that would be great if you find something. Ive taken a couple of very poor photo's (camera phones arent what they used to be!), excuse the mess. Its reassuring no ones said anything bad about them...yet! edit - that first pic really is bad, sorry.

[quote name='noisedude' post='238028' date='Jul 12 2008, 04:18 PM']How do you go about recording a town? It must be a particularly sensitive microphone I imagine.[/quote] I think this is true, but remember this is a long time before the Saxons & Vikings started recording their own towns so don't expect anything as modern. Colchester town Albums, T-Shirts, Badges, and Picnic Baskets are available from all good music stores, and some bad ones.

Sorry to thread-jack but don't suppose you know much about the Pro Aria II Rhino do you Bassassin? I thought all rare bootsale finds had dissapeared since Bargain Hunt and Cash in the Attic made people think twice about what their crap is worth...

noisedude, I havn't seen her recently but to be fair, i havnt texted or called so she probably thinks i've lost interest. We're about more than just her tho, i think you'll find all our women are equally as common, fun (read that as you wish), and attractive. Plus we stake claim to Britains oldest recorded town. Bremen, i really hope it doesnt cause any offence to the guys and gals on here.
