  1. You'll have to take them all i'm afraid! Pm me your address if you still want them. Free postage though!
  2. Very nice! Love the wood combination. I fitted one of these to my Warmoth to keep the battery secure: http://www.dayga.co.uk/Battery_Holders/9_Volt_Battery_Holder Careful where you click as they also sell a lot of PVC erm, clothing! It can be difficult to track those down as "9v battery clip" searches result in the clip connectors and "9v battery holder" searches result in the plastic battery boxes. I may have some knobs if you're interested? Obviously don't look for them on that site i linked to.....
  3. +1 on the quality of these. I had a fretted 5er and it was very comfortable to play. I presume this one has the Mighty Mite pickup and the Bartolini 2band eq? If so it's a killer combination and unusual at this price point. Nice chunky bridge and recessed knobs too.
  4. I'd have had that for twenty squids, not a bad looking body. Would look ace with a black scratchplate. Would make a nice cheap little project i reckon.
  5. Added another game i have going spare.
  6. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1318080710' post='1397898'] Well not quite, that was the plan originally but worked out a cheaper price with the guy just for the bass. I really have a way of transporting 3 guitars and he's given me an amazing bass at a silly price... without me taking 2 cheap guitars off him too [/quote] How much then?
  7. [quote name='bass_by_name' timestamp='1318066712' post='1397715'] ........the most talented performer of this generation, who's music will still be heard in 50 or 100 years [/quote] Winehouse?
  8. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1318073330' post='1397817'] Lets just say I've just got on a train from paisley... [/quote] Good stuff! I reckon after flogging the guitars that T40 might end up owing you £50 - £60. Not bad!
  9. [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1318062298' post='1397665'] "I've written a new song, it's about how environmentally friendly caravan holidays are." [/quote] That's brilliant, I actually wanna hear the song now!
  10. [quote name='burno70' timestamp='1317978898' post='1396801'] If you're not on the same page then your best offing the individuals concerned or offing yourself - and the sooner the better. [/quote] Murder or suicide? That's a bit extreme mate!
  11. "Lets do Summer of 69"
  12. [quote name='mart' timestamp='1317815640' post='1394832'] Ok, it could have been a DC. I remember Florin on the Warwick forum saying categorically that MEC do not do a passive (DC) P pickup. Then I showed him the photos from my old Fortress that had passive P/J pickups! Seemingly MEC don't sell DC P pups now, but they certainly have made them in the past. In fact I have put one in my Squier CV P, and very happy I am with it. [/quote] That's weird, didn't all the Fortress One 4s come with a P/J and either passive or 2band circuitry? He should know that!
  13. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1317753992' post='1394219'] I think the people dissing her need to know she is a successful song writer in her own right so even if she disappears as an act she will be still be writing and working in the business maybe for many years. Has anyone seen her as herself without the harsh persona and makeup on ? [/quote] A good point, anybody here remember Cathy Dennis? I bet you don't but she's written a few number 1s for huge international pop acts since her brief career fizzled out. Jessie J is lovely in interviews too, i don't particularly care about her pop career as i don't really like the songs but she has a very good voice and the right attitude for the job, which is more than you can say for a lot of flash in the pan acts peddling kids' music.
  14. [quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1317641712' post='1392537'] Didn't Krist play an Ibanez / "Antoria" "Black Eagle" much more than any of the gibsons? [/quote] I always thought his main stage and studio bass was a Ripper? He did chop and change a bit but the Ripper was pretty constant. I really like the look of the RD sig, just a bit of an odd choice. Does anybody know whether it's actually Krist's spec or are Gibson just using his name to cash in? Him speccing it would explain the odd choices regarding shape and pickups.
  15. Try pinching the clamp bit so it's tighter on the bass, see if that improves things. The one i have doesn't grip the bass tightly enough and doesn't pick up the vibrations as a result. If that helps then you could glue a rubber pad onto the clamp so it grips better.
  16. Why has nobody wished BRX bappy birthday yet? Happy birthday! EDIT: Ah, too late!
  17. I guess for me it depends on what you mean by "making it". If that means progressing with a band playing music you love, gradually gaining a big following and subsequently playing much bigger venues then i think that's ace, the age thing doesn't come into it at all. If by "making it" you mean the whole ego trip and reliving the glory days of rock and roll excess then maybe not so much. I think it looks pretty stupid when younger bands try and put that image across, worse when their dads are doing it.
  18. Bump! Trades or P/X (either way) for WHY? At the moment i need: Jazz pickup(s) Short XLR-XLR (m-f) cables Short XLR-1/4" Jack (m-m) cables Bluetooth mouse

    Mark bought my Ryder bass from me, very pleasant and easygoing making him an excellent guy to deal with. Cheers!
  20. [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1317498202' post='1391368'] predator bass. [/quote] T1000 surely? It's not to my taste but you just can't ignore the quality of that finish, it looks amazing.
  21. [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1317380191' post='1390058'] They haven't published the information yet because they are still making it up! [/quote] The news is that the RH450 is actually a 450 megawatt head, comparable in volume terms to the hum that comes from an electricity pylon of course...
  22. Well Shinhoman off here picked up a well used red Corvette $$ with a hard case for £416 back in April, there's been a few at the £550 - £600 mark too. Save money and get the real deal!
  23. [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1317473455' post='1391069'] I really like the RD body shape but for me that style of headstock doesn't suit it at all. [/quote] The RD I had (a '77 Artist) looked even odder because it had small Gotoh-style enclosed tuners, original Gibson branded ones though (and no other tuners had ever been fitted to it) but they made the headstock look even longer and out of place. Stunning looking basses but impractical for 99% of the songs i played!
