Your wife now daaaaave

I love the Theme tune to Mr Rossi

whenever you type anything EBS Freak i always find myself staring at her bum......who is it?

I am now torturing my hands & doing "Get up & Jump" by the Chillies

loving it ......first ever funk tune i have ever learned so far, there will be more

That is a absolutley beautiful bass.
As a matter of fact that pic has just gone in my fantasy "I WANT file"........i would sell my soul for that .

but i swapped it for a transformer when i was a kid

I vcan never make my mind up about Leeds shops, the Bass stuff just is so thin on the ground....kind of get sick of driving just to see they havent got hardly anything Bass related.

I think unless it's a Bass i'll just stick to shopping online

[quote name='silddx' post='409829' date='Feb 15 2009, 12:21 AM']Get a second-hand Hohner Professional Jack Bass Custom. Headless, active with bypass switch. Superb sounds for the money, incredibly stable tuning, great for all styles, easy to play, small and sexy, very nice neck. Mine sold on ebay for a ton a few months ago (usually go for around £150 though, should be pretty mint for that) so you'll have so cash to spare and you'll have an ace bass that stands out in the crowd.[/quote]


I used to have a Honer the Jack headless i would love another, it was a fantastic Bass.

No worries Mr Tinman

Right MR Potter i am waiting for me mate to get back in touch. i will PM you when he's about.

[quote name='HarryPotter' post='408548' date='Feb 13 2009, 01:23 PM']I'm about to sell a virtually as new Cort Curbow, in a very nice (cause they vary a lot) Mystic Ice Crazer finish, very light, very slim fast neck, great variety of sounds (It's active) and it's had a pro setup (frets levelled etc.) and Elixir strings fitted. I'm selling it because I have switched to short scale basses only.

Yours (or your mates) for £200 - that's a bit of a bargain.[/quote]


I know now i'm desperatley trying to contact me mate now lol

Bloody hell theres more than i realsied in this budget range.

A good mate asked me to find him a Bass for that cash & i am looking to upgrade as well. simular budget but i always say set a budget & then stretch it to the best you can lol

I am more looking for something with deep tone that i can then make nice & clanky (Fender Jazz sounding) for the funky bass lines, to be honest i'm more into what a bass sounds like than looks (Although there are exceptions).

My mate on the other hand is looking for a easy Bass to play, so i guess a thin neck & light body.

I'm not that fussed as long as i sounds nice & i wont be looking to change anytime soon then i would be happy

Again people thanks for advice & pointers, it's really appreciated.

I'll e-mail me mate see what he wants to do & start budgiting for my own purchase.

cheers for that.

It's not for me but i am very interested in the answers as well. he want to play Rock/metal maybe a little funk.

Aye up peeps

What would you recommend as a good purchase Bass for £200 £250 budget?

Links & Pics would be good

All recommendations & advice would be greatly appreciated

eye thank you

awww jesus i wish i could make it....gutted i cant

this is on my local Gumtree......BuMP

I started playing low but then got a headless & the body although hung low the neck sat high which suited me perfetly.

Now i play a bass with a head i find the body is getting higher & higher....i'm frightened it's gonna end up on me chin soon........i dont like the look of a high up Bass but then again it's where you play best.


If i'm listening to an amazing track on a CD i cant tell how high their bass is so i dont really care nowadays

I was in a silly punk band years ago & about 4 tunes into our set the drummer got bored & left.

There was a long silence between the tunes before we'd worked out he was'nt comming back lol

Hi Pete

Aww thank god.....i tried Googling it just in case i was being thick.

Glad i'm not alone

THats another pretty Headless bass.

THe best bit is where the fretboard just sits.....hmmm nice

[quote name='ARGH' post='321526' date='Nov 4 2008, 08:06 AM']Was it on display under a glass cabinet in Scheerer's?[/quote]

No mate but it looks almost exactley the same as the one on the left in your pic......do tell please sir

ooo sir oo

Johngh What is the headless one on furthest one on the left?

I remember seeing a headless years ago it was a dark grey high gloss finish body just like that one, but was in a kevlar gray it had the most amazing fretboard (almost like a tumbled stone feel) i think it was ebony & it was almost sexual to play.
I never knew the make but it was price at £1100 & i lusted after it for months, eventually it got sold & i was gutted.

Always wondered what it was......
