All the time on my P-Bass with flats, usually 1/2 to 3/4 way up, very occaisionally on full.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='277791' date='Sep 5 2008, 01:32 PM']+1 And 'A New Career In A New Town' from the same album...[/quote] A brilliant song, up there in my own top ten of all time favourite songs. George Murray was the bass player on that album & the other 'Berlin Trilogy' ones.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='278264' date='Sep 5 2008, 10:54 PM']No love for Adrian Sherwood?[/quote] +1 for Sherwood - good call. Did some amazing On-U Sound stuff. I'm goind to add Andrew Weatherall & Jacknife Lee Though not strictly bassists

[quote name='markytbass' post='272887' date='Aug 29 2008, 10:56 PM']I was f***ing shocked £750 I sold the ray for, got stung £25 ish by paypal then today I find £30 ebay final value fee what a bunch of c**ts. Now I don't like using that word but thats what they are, I will not be selling anything but tat on there from now on.[/quote] Well said. Couldn't put it better myself. They're obviously cashing in the current economic climate, whereby some people need to sell things to get by. Hopefully, ebay's latest action may help to stimulate a bit of competition & get some of the other sites like Ebid going.

[quote name='chris_b' post='273176' date='Aug 30 2008, 03:05 PM']No, I can't. If you want cheap why don't you just lean the bass against something! The Ultimate is a pretty good stand.[/quote] +1 for Ultimate. I've got a GS100, was lucky in getting it locally for a fiver on evilbay. However, think it's worth the £20 price tag (new). Takes any shaped bass & is pretty sturdy. Quite compact too.

[quote name='stanley260' post='197649' date='May 13 2008, 05:56 AM']Is there anyone that knows where to find a cheaper model of the the Thunderbird nonreverse or know anyone that is selling one at a fair price? I have been looking all over for one.[/quote] Hi, Know this is a while after this posting, but if you're still after a non-reverse Thunderbird, there's one on ebay at the moment at what seems not a bad price. Cheers

[quote name='Bassassin' post='272005' date='Aug 28 2008, 08:13 PM']Nice, that. Does yours have the one-piece neck like this one, or skunk stripe? J.[/quote] Well spotted Jon. Mine is different with skunk stripe thru-neck as opposed to the Fernandes one-piece.

Nice looking Fernandes 4001S 'Faker',very similar to my Maya with exception of neck pickup & control knobs....but alas in Japan.

I love mine - recommended.

[quote name='bassman2790' post='268034' date='Aug 22 2008, 06:13 PM']This thread and the "The One You Wish You'd Never Sold" thread have got me crying into my keyboard. I used to have a superb RB950 It played beautifully and had such a wide range of tones available as each of the humbuckers was coil tapped. I owned it for a couple of years but then sold it on and replaced it with a Yamaha BB414 of all things. I've seen posts on a couple of forums with a link to my photo on the Ibanez register asking anyone with information to the whereabouts of a similar bass to come forward. I really regret selling this bass as I realise that the chances of finding another are almost impossible. I can't believe I let it go...pass the kleenex[/quote] Gorgeous bass - seen this photo around. It's two pickup, 24 fret version of mine. You have every right to feel gutted ([i]sorry[/i])! Will Sinnott of the Shamen used one - Rave On! [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EaUX6V8ZQv0"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EaUX6V8ZQv0[/url]

[quote name='geilerbass' post='263893' date='Aug 17 2008, 11:55 AM']So what's the deal with older Ibanez basses that look like other manufactuers' instruments? Like the Blazers etc? Do they sound/play like Fenders? Same materials?[/quote] (IMHO) Better in many cases :ph34r:

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='263684' date='Aug 16 2008, 06:27 PM']A nice pair of blazers......well i think so. An 81 on the left and an 80 to the right. I liked Bob (left)so much i just had to have another. These guys used to live together and thanks to The burpster and Basszilla respectively they're back together again at mine. [/quote] Very nice. I have one identical to one on the left - killer bass, blows away many a Fender Is there much of a diffrence in sound/tone between them? Cheers

Hi, I posted a similar question to Justin Meldal-Johnsen on Talkbass & got some good recommendations [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459734"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=459734[/url] Also, this guy's site is pretty good [url="http://bassfuzz.com/"]http://bassfuzz.com/[/url] Good luck in your search, though as already mentioned fuzz taste is quite personal Cheers

I put one of these on my old Tokai P-Bass [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HARD-TAIL-BASS-GUITAR-BRIDGE-THROUGH-BRIDGE-CH-BK-GD_W0QQitemZ160270521459QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160270521459&_trkparms=72%3A638%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HARD-TAIL-BASS-GUITA...86.c0.m14.l1318[/url] Like yourself don't like Badass & couldn't get hold of a Gotoh at the time. Works well

Great basses - got a couple in the current arsenal A lovely '83 Ibanez RB920, that used to belong to Happy Mondays' bassist, on all their early stuff. [attachment=12126:003.JPG] And an '81 Blazer. Actually better than a lot of Fender P-Basses I've tried. Supergrass bass player Mick Quinn has a penchant for these too. [attachment=12127:1981_Ibanez_Blazer.jpg] Cheers

[quote name='noirpunk' post='259462' date='Aug 10 2008, 06:41 PM'] Posted this on another thread. Given to me by my Great Uncle. Made in Japan stamp. No idea what model Vox it is, hopefully someone will identify it. Cheers[/quote] No idea myself - sorry! But you have a lovely looking bass there Does it play & sound as good as it looks?

[quote name='steve-soar' post='259160' date='Aug 10 2008, 10:56 AM']Could I put it to the members of the jury, that this bass guitar is nothing but an imposter and its owner nothing more than a scoundrel.

The worst bit is, he actually compares it to a USA Fender that he alegedly owns and says that it is just as good. He should be reported, it really grinds my gears when fakes are sold on Ebay.[/quote] Saw that one myself too. Logo is definitely an add on. Grade A Tosser.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='237579' date='Jul 11 2008, 08:26 PM']Very nice... Is this an original or a re-issue?[/quote] Thanks! It's a (SBV500) reissue, believe they were made for a short while from 2000(?) It's my youngest bass! The original (SBV-5A) looked slightly different.

Thought I'd post a pic of my new Samaurai banana bass. Picked it up a couple weeks ago off Ebay, at what I thought was a cheap price, & had been after one for years. It has a really fast neck, I'm more acustomed to P-Basses. Pickups are surprisingly quite good IMO - which is just as well, as I don't think I'd be able to find replacements that fit. Delivers a nice punchy tone, with plenty of growl - restrung it with some heavier Elites rounds as opposed to my usual flats. Doesn't balance too briliantly, but that's to be expected with it's weird shape. Nicely fits a Jazz Bass hole in my collection.... Needs playing in, as it seems (to me) to be in virtually unplayed condition. So far, very happy with it - looking forward to roadtesting it at next gig [attachment=10706:002.JPG]
