  2. Have no idea about the basses but that looks sweeeeet!
  3. "Father, why do you hate me?" Our old guitarist's missus had one of these, she used to bring it to gigs for me to use as a spare. Hers had Hello Kitty stickers on it....
  4. I found that unplugging the bass and trying to get a clean note unamplified helped wonders. I learnt at uni and didn't have an amp, by the end of the first semester i could slap pretty well! When i needed to learn the thumb and two finger popping technique (Black-eyed blonde) i went back to this method to make it easier to get a clean technique down

  6. [quote name='Musky' post='537860' date='Jul 11 2009, 01:24 PM']I have the opposite problem. I like my strings to sound deader than a very dead thing. I'd use flatwounds, but I don't really get along with the feel of them. Anyone know how to kill off a set of new roundwounds? [/quote] I'm sure if you paid the postage loads of us would send you old sets of strings. I threw out about 10 complete sets of Elites/Elixirs/Hartke strings not so long ago
  7. Will get one up tomorrow as i've got a wedding today, got an hour to shower, shave and have tea!
  8. The Michael Kelly acoustics seem to get good reviews, fretless available as standard too. I played a really nice Takamine fretless acoustic a while ago too, don't think that was too expensive (2nd hand)

  10. The bass has a luthite/ebanol construction IIRC. Also i think they did different colours of this finish, the silvery one is the one you see on the net all the time
  11. Yeah they were at silly low prices for a while (i think £360 was the lowest i saw), bear in mind that Rays were going for £550+ at the time. I've seen a few on eBay go for £400+ I think now Ray prices are a bit healthier the SUB prices are better too. Personally i think £400 is about right for one of these without a case, it's new MIM Fender territory
  12. Hi I'd like to add a piezo bridge to my bitsa fretless. It's a J type with an active circuit I'm assuming that after drilling the hole from the bridge to the control cavity it would be a simple matter of fitting a blend pot and attaching the wires from the different pickups to this, possibly including a volume pot for the piezo. Please pardon my ignorance (i'll be getting a hired lackey to do all this btw so i don't destroy my bass) but would i be able to take the signal from the piezo through the blend pot and then to the active circuit? Or would the piezo signal have to be independent of this? Cheers for any help Steve
  13. You know Dood ended up buying another cos he missed it so much? Cracking pedals these btw
  14. So Larry Graham's not cool now? Right, who wants to buy my bass gear?
  15. How much was yours up at? I didn't really know what to value it at, the last one that sold on here went for £375. That was a passive version with no case, had a MM scratchplate though, it was also priced for a quick sale As this one is the active version and has a quality case i thought an extra £35 was about right
  16. [quote name='Eight' post='537499' date='Jul 10 2009, 09:05 PM']*Phew* Now if that other Curbow will just go then I won't have to worry about remembering to lock myself out of my PayPal account before coming on this forum.[/quote] How much is the other Curbow up at? Don't remember a price being on it. Played one of the Tanglewood ones when they came out and was suitably impressed. I reckon you should get it, you'll regret it later! Comes in a nice gig bag too.....
  17. I'll have a look at the action when i get a chance (gigs this weekend) as it's a bit too high for my liking, feels strangely nice to play though, maybe not for a full gig! Just thought i'd mention that my mate has hardly played this. He bought it along with a USA Hartke Kickback 15 (spent around a grand i think) then lost interest in bass. I've gigged it a few times when my Warwick was playing up but that's about all the action it's seen. I think the pitting on the control plate (there's also a little on the bridge but not much) is simply down to it being stored in a case for months on end It's been out on loan with a learner for a bit but i don't think he did much with it Ta Steve
  18. Selling this for my housemate. It's a SUB4 in the bluey (or whatever it's actually called!) colour, active pre amp. It's in great condition apart from a couple of dings on the headstock (pictured, a little bit of marker pen disguises them almost completely), a tiny ding on the top edge of the neck (shown in the pics) and some pitting on the control plate (again shown). Comes with a Gator-style ABS case he bought seperately. The strap which holds this open at an angle is broken, this could be repaired or removed, either way the case is fully functional and in great nick. He's looking for £410 collected from Blackpool, can post at buyers expense. Feel free to come try it out, there should be a few amps to try it out with depending on whether my gear is here or not. Either way we'll have a couple of Hartke combos and a Ashdown/Hartke rig knocking about the house EDIT: I'll try to get some better pics up soon when i get acces to a decent camera. That's not a crazy spider thing on the control plate btw, it's the reflection of our light fitting!
  19. Price is agreed and cheque is sent, pretty much sold i think
  20. Plus at the prices stuff is going for on here you won't lose money if you decide it's not for you We've honestly never had it so good with regards to quality kit, this site is terrible for my GAS!
  21. The MEC 2 way in my Corvette is very quiet, had less output that all my other basses
  22. I'm interested, just outside Blackpool at the moment
  23. £1600 on eBay too [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Limited-edition-signed-Warwick-FNA-Jazzman-Bass-RARE_W0QQitemZ230354044073QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item35a22bc4a9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1688%7C293%3A2%7C294%3A50"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Limited-edition-sign...%3A2%7C294%3A50[/url]
