[quote name='jonunders' timestamp='1486041459' post='3228694'] Hi I have noted that some bass players like to play wearing gloves. Why is this? What advantages, if any, are there and if so what are they made from, would fibres catch in the strings. Jono [/quote] If you are referring to Scott Devine from Scott's Bass Lessons, he wears them due to a medical condition called Focal Dystonia - the gloves stop his fingers from trembling. Cant comment any other players.

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1485781614' post='3226595'] Thanks guys, confirmed my gut feeling and that I sent the right response. If I hear back with anything else I'll just say "thanks, but not interested" and post anything ridiculous that gets said [/quote] the other thing to consider is that if you have underclared the value then if it gets lost or damaged you wont be able to claim the proper value of the instrument insurance wise.

Please do update. I swapped out the pre on my Status Series 1 for an Aguilar OBP3 with active/passive switching and switchable mid point too. Sounds incredible and passive is lovely, so is having a mid control too!

G'day mate! Welcome to basschat. Whereabouts in Aus are you? I spent 20 years in rural Vic and Melb - great part of the world!

Lozz has just bought my Ashdown After Eight. Instant payment and great comms throughout. Pleasure doing business with you sir!

I wouldnt expect wood to crack in that manner. I could be wrong though

another thumbs up for Kevin. looking forward to my next lesson already!

I know you say you already have Africa but this is probably still worth a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_gSS7QTCM8

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1484278675' post='3214315'] Guys, I think Scott from Scott's Bass would side with my position on tone. Blue [/quote] Its your pedantry that most people have an issue with. the fact you dont seem to grasp that suggests that arrogance pay also be an issue here. everyone else clearly understood what the OP was asking

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1483906473' post='3211057'] Chorus is an effect, compression is processing. Neither are tone. Blue [/quote] I bet you're great fun at parties!

looking forward to meeting Kevin and having my first lesson on Monday!

[quote name='skb558' timestamp='1484209726' post='3213473'] Looks like a glitch with eBay. Ad now shows actual bass with starting bid of £320. Laptop at £170. [/quote] or the scammer reliased that his scam wasnt going to work if he sets the start bid so high!

[quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1484147939' post='3213047'] New guitar arrived today. The wood grain is "normal" and no damage to speak of on initial inspection. Only had 2 mins with it tho as I'm at work. Full inspection and report will follow But I'm over the moon with how it looks [/quote] it could just be the photo but it looks to me like you need to remove the scratchplate to access the trussrod? please tell me that isnt the case!

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1483964298' post='3211405'] I've seen some Fodera copies before but not anything quite like this. I'd love to see it in the flesh just to see how well made it is. [/quote] the trussrod sticking out 1/2" at the base of the neck doesnt inspire much confidence...

Probably not a bad bass for the price and could be worth it for the shock value alone when you take it out your gig bag at next rehearsal!😉

Never seen a Fodera copy before: Look at this on eBay  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162344363846

But that isn't the sale price? It's just the current highest bid...

[quote name='Risk101' timestamp='1482512715' post='3201233'] Wouldn't hesitate to send it back - very poor wood selection - looks unnatural in my view. You have the love the look as much as the sound. [/quote] Unnatural looking wood? Now I've heard everything!😂
