    Thanks to those who cast tiebreaker votes. The final chart now looks like this: 01) James Jamerson - 20 votes 02) John Entwistle - 17 votes 03) Geddy Lee/Stuart Zender - joint 11 votes 05) Marcus Miller - 10 06) Bernard Edwards - 9 votes 07) Jaco Pastorius - 8 votes 08) Jean-Jacques Burnel/Pino Palladino - joint 7 votes 10) Aston Barrett/Stanley Clarke/Les Claypool/Duck Dunn/Flea/Mark King - joint 6 votes To be honest it all got a bit confusing in the end. I did my best, but i make absolutely no apololgies for any errors. Any disagreements, count 'em up yourself or just argue amongst yourselves. It's all just a bit of fun after all. Billy Sheehan didn't make it into the chart. What a shame. Cheers, Jake M

    See [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30559"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30559[/url] for the results... Cheers, Jake M

    Right then, here are the top ten results of the original thread found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30285"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30285[/url] I took only your first three votes if you listed more than that. I may or may not have made the odd mistake. 01) James Jamerson - 20 votes 02) John Entwistle - 17 votes 03) Bernard Edwards - 9 votes 04) Jaco Pastorius - 8 votes 05) Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Stuart Zender - joint 7 votes 06) Flea - 6 votes 07) Aston Barrett, Jean-Jacques Burnel, Stanley Clarke, Les Claypool, Duck Dunn, Bruce Foxton, Mark King, Lemmy, Pino Palladino, Timmy C - joint 5 votes 08) Peter Hook, Paul McCartney, Paul Simonon, Norman Watt-Roy - joint 4 votes 09) Bootsy Collins, John Deacon, Leigh Gorman, Mick Karn, Victor Wooten - joint 3 votes 10) Jeff Ament, Jack Bruce, Simon Gallup, Steve Harris, John Paul Jones, Colin Moulding, Mani, Bruce Thomas - joint 2 votes Lots of ties unfortunately, so if we could get a tie-breaker vote on the guys at #07 we'd have the real list, ie Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller and Stuart Zender would be joint tied at #05, Flea would then move to #08, and we just need to fill #09 and #10 with either Aston Barrett, Jean-Jacques Burnel, Stanley Clarke, Les Claypool, Duck Dunn, Bruce Foxton, Lemmy, Pino Palladino. A few casting votes for the above would be appreciated, thanks. Cheers, Jake M

    Who are your all time top three players? I know this is a pretty obvious topic, and i'm sure it's been done before, but there's a wide range of musical styles represented on this forum and i'm genuinely interested to know who people really rate. If i get enough replies to this thread i'll work out a top ten chart. Please also mention the relevant band name. Like i said, we're all into different stuff here, and not everbody will recognise the name of a player if it's not their thing. Mine: 1) Jean-Jacques Burnel - The Stranglers 2) John Entwistle - The Who 3) Lemmy - Motorhead Cheers, Jake M

    [quote name='umph' post='309756' date='Oct 19 2008, 12:00 PM']if your looking for around the 650 - 850 mark i'd swap my trace elliot v6 for this[/quote] Thanks for that, but as i said, 650-850 is less than i thought. It's considerably less than the last one i saw selling on eBay went for, so i reckon i'll be hanging on to it for the time being, see how much the one next fetches... Cheers, Jake M

    I'm sure this topic comes up from time to time, but which musical instrument insurer do we recommended? Never bothered before, but i just realised my gear's worth a small fortune. I'm just looking to insure within the home really, not likely to have all my stuff together in one place anywhere else. Anyone had good or bad experiences trying to make a claim? Cheers, Jake M

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='309360' date='Oct 18 2008, 05:22 PM']Hi jake, how much do you hope it is worth?[/quote] Well that's just it, i've got absolutely no idea. I was hoping somebody could tell me. The value of a vintage guitar, amp or whatever can vary over time as we all know, depending on its currently perceived "prestige" factor IMO. Its something i don't agree with as it goes, paying an arm and a leg for a thing just because it's old and therefore it must be "better". The Gibson Les Paul is surely the best example. I own one myself, circa 2001. It's around seven years old, but i saw a couple of listings on eBay recently trying to sell for more than new. The guitars looked unplayed, obviously bought as an investment to sell on a few years down the line. What a scam. They're mass produced and there are literally millions in circulation. I thought the idea of "vintage" was that a thing was old, rare and made with superior craftsmanship. Anyway, having said that, i'm sure the last old Hiwatt i saw on eBay went for around two grand, sold in the USA. I couldn't swear to it, it was a while ago now. Thanks Jebo, i must admit £650-£850 is less than i thought. If that's the case i reckon i'll be hanging on to it. Any advice on how to date it? I'll have a look for that label inside. Cheers, Jake M

    [quote name='flutophilus' post='308502' date='Oct 17 2008, 12:23 PM']Hi, Has anyone out there owned or tried or even see a Tony Franklin fretted precision? Anyone know a shop in the midlands that has one? I've just about decided on getting a new American Standard but I'm wondering if I should try to get hands on a TF. I know that a single pup precision is good enough for some great players and it's the sound I want, plus it's a really comfortable bass to hold and play, it's simple, strong, passive, no batteries. But will I start geting twitchy if I haven't got another tone option on the bass? When might I need that extra pup? Is there any reason, other than the extra pup, to get the TF? Cheers[/quote] Here's one: [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Fender-Tony-Franklin-Fretted-Precision-Bass---Olympic-White~ID~7616.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~F...ite~ID~7616.asp[/url]

    Amp Simulators

    Cabal replied to Cabal's topic in Effects

    [quote name='BassBod' post='305244' date='Oct 13 2008, 09:44 AM']The Award-Session JD10 is a good preamp/DI box - very "old fashioned" in that it uses circuit design to get the sound rather than clever digi stuff. Pretty much simulates a "fender" pre-amp (just like the Alembic preamps, but no valves...runs on a battery). Worth thinking about BB[/quote] I'm liking the look of this one, cheers. :-) I'm hoping to get close to the classic overdriven Marshall/Hiwatt sound. I've seen a few mentions of the EBS MicroBass II on the board. Anyone care to comment?
