It might be my end, but you might want to check it out.[/quote] Welcome +1 - some of the text is falling below the text box surrounds. Other than that - some [i]very[/i] tasty looking gear...nice work!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='471743' date='Apr 24 2009, 05:40 PM']Just bought 4 lots of x3 packs Hartke strings off this guy ...No brainer really and he has more for sale ending soon. [/quote] Thanks for that pointer Warwick. Got a set - only bidder! May try some of those other brands too... Credit Crunch + Elixirs =

...and he makes it look so effortless.

[quote]My '65 sounds like a Thornton's champagne truffle being fired from Ms. Dita Von Teese's basque strap into the bass section of the London Philharmonic.[/quote] So that would be Twung > Splut > NomNomNomNomNomNomNomNomNom? (Fact fans: It's a gorgeous bass - I've seen it and I knows)

Not quite in the same league but... ...storming bassline

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='471963' date='Apr 25 2009, 12:37 AM']I bet the average punter wouldn't be able to tell a strat from a jazz bass.[/quote] "S'cuse me...why's your guitar bigger?"... ...was the question I once asked. :blush:

[quote]Sounds rather tempting.. wonder where they have it made?[/quote] Korea and Indonesia, according to Sterling Ball. £650-upwards for US Stingray (S/H) £689 for an Indonesian Ray £255 for a Chinese Classic Vibe Squier Go figure...

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='471671' date='Apr 24 2009, 04:28 PM']I suppose the initial question ought to be "what's the definition of classic?"[/quote] Anything that's likely to prompt a flame war. Here's my list: 1. Orig 51 Precision 2. Joint - post 57 P, Jazz and Stingray (on grounds that civilians wouldn't be able to tell them apart) 3. Rick 4. EB0 / EB3 5. T-Bird Honourable mentions: Status, EB2, Hofner Violin, Shergold, Burns Tri-sonic, Dan Armstrong, Danelectro Longhorn

This is the point where a small, helpful local retailer comes in handy...

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='471235' date='Apr 24 2009, 02:12 AM']haven't got one.[/quote] Then you're buggered. Or you could make one out of clear plastic and put the sticker on that. Hey Presto - a twofer solution. No need to thank me.

Stick it on the scratchplate.

Original lyric was : "cut loose like a deuce" No idea what he meant. In fact, the whole Asbury Park album's full of sub-Dylan-isms - The Boss's 70's singer-songwriter period. ...and I want that Ampeg.

[quote name='XB26354' post='470740' date='Apr 23 2009, 02:08 PM']Fender bass V - tuned EADGC. The 5-string as we know it today has a low B and [b]Fender had nothing to do with it[/b].[/quote] Apart from producing a 5 string bass (tuned EADGC). [quote name='XB26354' post='470740' date='Apr 23 2009, 02:08 PM']The Bass 6 was tuned an octave lower than a guitar to cater for Nashville Tic Tac - not intended to play bass at all. Again the standard 6-string as it is today is tuned BEADGC and was an initial idea between Carl Thompson and Anthony Jackson. [b]These have nothing whatsoever to do with what was developed later [/b](and were both resounding flops). Just for accuracy...[/quote] Sure - no possibility whatsoever that a six string Bass VI might have any had any influence at all on the idea of a six string bass. And of course, nobody played bass lines on a Bass VI. Oh, apart from those damned annoying tic-tac basslines. [i]Edit for:[/i] Oh, he's gone. As regards the OP, I'm all up for a Dallas Tuxedo bass.

Sorry mate never heard of them...try Bassassin. He is the font of all things Jap. (Assume these are Jap?)

[quote name='XB26354' post='470192' date='Apr 22 2009, 11:25 PM']Fender didn't make a 5 (used by plenty of pros all over the world) until years after other manufacturers had thought of it, designed it and perfected it. .....This year Fender unveils their first ever 6-string - the Steve Bailey - perhaps one of the ugliest Fenders ever made.[/quote] Sorry, but just in the pursuit of accuracy... Fender Bass V - introduced 1965 Fender Bass VI - introduced 1961 Perhaps the ugliest Fenders ever made, particularly the 5, which looks like a CBS parts-bin special. But at least they were still innovating.

[quote name='Musky' post='470426' date='Apr 23 2009, 09:59 AM']Audacity will work with mp3s. I've not come across any other way of isolating the bass other than using EQ, but if anybody knows of one I'd like to hear about it as well. [/quote] Me too. Whoo - MP3's made out of stem mixes - now there's an idea...

Hey, Max, are [i]you[/i] Emily? Is it a ..er... weekend thing? Y'know, stillettos, fishnets? Good luck with the sale - nice gear, nice opening prices.

[quote name='OldGit' post='470132' date='Apr 22 2009, 10:28 PM']Brilliant idea to shift his broken bass. Attention getting or what?.[/quote] +1 I bet he's a BC-er. Has that sort of wily, bonkers cunning...

Has the world gone mad? PeteB's shifting a Big Ben for £50, and now this for BIN £55.00? Just for once, you almost feel like telling the guy to pull it and re-list. Almost.

Letchy guitard bigot morons whacked today- Ask Me How!
