fumps

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

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 Cheers for the lesson last night, really enjoyed it. see ya for the next one. Take it steady Gav

I asked that when i first joined..........

Yep i work with chemicals & a few industrial chemists , Mineral oil is'nt in any way going to knack strings or any kind of varnish. Now i know it's mineral oil i think i'll whip some up in the lab .....cool

Bump!! Hi Pete. Glad to see you here. So i just thought i'd say hi Will def ring you after xmas so i hope you have a blinding time mate Gav

The Status with the green LED's has been sold. [/quote] No probs mate. Now i know what bass it was i can get on & not be able to afford it anyway lol

[quote name='Rusty Shackleford' post='322639' date='Nov 5 2008, 01:35 PM']don't look at me. i dont even know what GAS is on this forum [/quote] 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......

I did'nt like the look of headless before i played one. But as soon as i did all the rest just felt off balance to me. I'm borrowing a Bass of my mate on long term loan till i get cash together for a decent bass, and i still cant get used to how heavy the top end is. A headless for me is bang on, The body hangs on my thigh & the neck across my chest. exactley where i want it to be. I want another headless & i really hope it does not become fashonable, i love being an oddball

[quote name='metaltime' post='313564' date='Oct 24 2008, 08:34 AM']well you never know a lottery win would buy a lot of shukers [/quote] Dude if i could sell a kidney i'd have one lol

YEh sorry mate ......lol

Entombed....Wolverene Blues. That brings back memories. I thought it was going to be about that as well

Must resist......grrrrrrr

i just drooled

Yeh i'll be honest i'd never heard of Shuker Bass' before thats why i was so intregued by what they look & play like. But the more i see them the more i really want one lol.

yeh just been listening to this.....like that track. Cheer for that link it's playing in the background as i type this. Oh well i'll have to struggle through this one by ear (Have to admit i'm not the best at working things out by ear) but ya ....was hoping to cheat & find the tab for it.

[quote name='mcgraham' post='312264' date='Oct 22 2008, 04:23 PM']Well, as it seems I've got to put a disclaimer on anything I say in this thread, so... Personally, I find that unless lyrics have some cohesiveness or a story I can reasonably follow more or less from start to finish, I tend to lose interest in the lyrics and pay attention to the underlying music. Unfortunately for me a lot of contemporary music, at least in Britain, is built on pretty poor lyrics, and the underlying music is not much better (again, IMO). So, I turned to more or less totally to instrumental music. Joe Satriani is a big personal favourite, Hiromi is also good, Laurence Cottle, Guthrie Govan, Brett Garsed, Charlie Hunter, Barber (particularly the Excursions) etc. I listen to a fair bit of jazz but if it sounds good I'll listen to it. Stuff with lyrics, some of you may cry 'hypocrit' but I like some of Van Halen's work, the Eagles (Wasted Time is a beautifully crafted song IMO), Dream Theater, Mr. Big. However, only certain songs of the artists with lyrics appeal to me. I'll look through my iPod and fish some out for you. Mark DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion[/quote] Can i ask a quick question on this subject. although you can ignore the lyrics in the first place why complain about the lyrics? I only ask because i love writing lyrics & i have a strong belief that not everything Has to be a master peice thats all

Over there

lol THank you ....why do i get the feeling i need to be really extra nice to the other half.......Grooming in a non pervy way

Is it rude to ask for a ball park figure on a 4 string Headless?
