That's the sort of stuff I can hear in my head but can never play.. He has a charm about his playing style; it looks technically challenging to do but he doesn't make it feel or sound like that, which is really cool..

[quote name='Merton' post='330491' date='Nov 17 2008, 10:40 AM']Awww, you guys! Matt - will dig out that corner piece tonight if I can Glad you're enjoying the combo, it deserves to be used rather than become a bit of furniture as it was doing with me... BTW, Matt and Nik are two of the finest BCers there are, so it's a nice feeling that they think so highly of a tosser like me [/quote]

[quote name='bluesparky' post='330025' date='Nov 16 2008, 11:23 AM']Hi guys (and gals!) i'm looking for an input switcher / selector. I want two inputs and also i'd like to be able to adjust the levels of each input individually - i have an active and passive bass so i'd like to be able to adjust the levels so they're the same when they enter my effects chain etc. I've spotted [url="http://www.tonebone.com/re-bigshot-io.htm"]this[/url] which seems to do the trick, but i was wondering whether anyone has any experience with it? I've already got a Boss line selector, but that doesn't quite do the job - the knobs are easily knocked on my one and sends the levels all over the place. I was thinking about getting a tonebone - price isn't the issue - but it doesn't quite fit onto my pedal board, unless i sacrifice another pedal, which is something i don't really want to do. Or, is there another similar product out on the market? Thanks in advance, Mark[/quote] Hi Mark, For the same reasons as you, I'm about to get one this week (due to arrive in the post any day now).. So hopefully I will be able to tell you more when it arrives.. Looks like a very good piece of kit to me, especially for the price! Nik

Lovely, honest guy with good communication and smooth transaction. Would recommend anyone to trade with him.

[quote name='4000' post='329485' date='Nov 14 2008, 11:39 PM']Thanks Nik. Here's another of the 4000 with my other Rics: The 4000 has been my main gigging bass for the past few years. However after last night (and due to other rather more nebulous factors) I'm actually thinking of selling it. It's a great bass, very aggressive sounding; far more so than my 4001s. Imagine if JJ Burnel played a Ric and you're about there. I found last night that for the first time in years I needed the addition of that deep, mellifluous neck pickup sound, so 2/3 of the way through the gig I switched to the CS. I must be getting old! It does indeed look like I'm hanging on for dear life! I think I was actually doing that strumming/damping percussive thing that Leigh does on such songs as C30 and GSBT; I utilise it on a couple of our songs (although we're nothing at all like BWW).[/quote] Gorgeous trio of Rics! I used to have one when I was a kid (should never have sold it ) and have always found them the fastest necks to play. I know what you mean about needing that extra depth from the neck pick up; it's why I stopped using a Musicman Sub 5 a year or so ago. I think you'd regret it if you sold it though?? That Leigh strumming/damping effect is a great sound isn't it.. I use it occasionally and it drives our keyboard player mad as it sends the bass level through the PA way too high.. Sorry for going off topic.

[quote name='NJE' post='329175' date='Nov 14 2008, 03:11 PM']I bought a Squier Deluxe Active Jazz V from a fellow "chatter" who was extremely kind and delivered it to Cheltenham all the way from Wigan.[/quote] Blimey! That's over 250 miles as a round trip!!! Incredible service... Nice bass btw..

[quote name='4000' post='329073' date='Nov 14 2008, 01:21 PM']We did a charity gig last night with a bunch of other bands. We're really short of recent gigging experience (only 3 in 2 or so years due to all sorts of factors) so we weren't at our best, and on a personal level I was very poor, nerves having got the better of me. Still, the event was a success and that's what matters. Here's me with my '73 Ric 4000..... [/quote] Nice one Shaun! Lovely looking bass, that Ric... got any more photos of it? You do look a bit like you're hanging onto it for dear life which reminds me of exactly how I felt when i joined the band i'm in now, as I hadn't gigged for 12 years before that! So well done for getting through it

This thread is a brilliant example of what Basschat is all about! Fantastic support from one and all which is great to see..

[quote name='Merton' post='326694' date='Nov 11 2008, 12:59 PM']So that's where it went! [/quote] Yep.. to get a bit more playing time than I gave it hopefully Mert!

Gorgeous bass!!

That's enormous!!!

Hi Folks, Just had the pleasure of selling my Status Groove 5 to Stu who's a great person to deal with! It was a really easy and straightforward transaction so am happy to recommend him highly to the rest of Basschat community.... Thanks Stu; hope you enjoy the bass! Cheers Nik

..Just been 'Beedstered' again.. having purchased a very handy '80s box of tricks from him and all went very well as per usual with Chris! He should of course by now be on Mastermind with 'The Basschat For Sale Forum' as his specialist subject which he would undoubtedly get maximum points for Thanks again Chris!
