It looks rougher than Kerry Catonina's arse. Avoid. Like Ou7shined said, tell us what you're after and someone out of 11,000 bassists on here should have something cool and cheap for you. Welcome to the house of bass. You'll never leave.

I reckon a load of you have played Kidderminster Market Tavern but for those that didn't, it's a bar, next to a cattle auction shed.

Played at the Oxford Street HMV and the PA went on fire.

Just read the op post and waded through the toe curling posts on the eb forum. Sterling is a bellwop.

Yet another lame thread, destined to hobble into the pond of much draught. Let's love our craft and not pound it into the dirt.

[quote name='LawrenceH' post='923945' date='Aug 13 2010, 02:45 PM']Wow I've been FAR more cavalier! On my bullet truss jazzes, I turned several full turns to get them roughly in the right area, giving the neck a bit of a flex in between to help it settle in, and fine-tuned the following day - but then the 75RI was very out to start with (not really engaged at all in fact). I guess it also depends on the thread size on the truss rod in question, but I found a quarter turn did next to b****r all. On a (5-piece) Ibanez neck I never once adjusted the truss over several years and varying temperatures/humidities, but I think they're a lot more stable than typical Fenders. Certainly didn't see the flex I do on the jazzes when strung versus slack. I'd have thought those graphite-rod necks were a bit better in this respect though. Oh and yes, turn clockwise to tighten.[/quote]I have set up hundreds of guitars and basses and have NEVER had to do several full turns.

SVT VR DUDE.

Lovely, peaceful looking bass.

Listen to what everyone is doing, lock in with the drummer and enjoy. Good luck dude.

I tried one of the heads and a combo in Dawsons a few years ago....neither of them worked. Seriously.

[quote name='nick' post='919886' date='Aug 9 2010, 06:12 PM']Posted this before, but any excuse to show it again.... My Ibanez belonged to Paul Ryder from Happy Mondays. He used it on their first two albums,videos, Top of the Pops etc... & it's probably been round the World a few times prior to me getting it. If a bass could talk; this one would no doubt, have some cracking tales to tell! [/quote]A HA. I knew I recognised it.

Just received a pedal and power adaptor off Chris. It arrived in less than 24 hours and was packed beautifully. Great communication throughout. A pleasure.

He said he was retiring, he promised, he did. HE PROMISED.

I offered to trade an old dog turd I had been keeping since 1973 but he said it was the wrong colour.

There are so many variables. Nut and tuners, or not. Fret wear, straightness, etc. Pics and more info would help.

Shrinebuilder album, amazing. Tons of flavours, loads of great moments, going into the cellar to listen again. 45 RPM vinyl, through a good rig.

[quote name='Tech' post='913290' date='Aug 2 2010, 10:20 PM']not doom - almost the polar opposite infact - super high res, high pitched... but for me it's a peak of tracendental rock... perhaps my favourite band? so f'n bleak...[/quote]Love that.

[quote name='wingnutkj' post='913162' date='Aug 2 2010, 08:44 PM']Yay! A topic I can talk about! (I've been lurking for ages). Not strictly doom, but definitely trancendental - I've been playing the new Zoroaster album a lot recently - it sounds a lot like this: [/quote]

Music for beasts.

Boris are so good. Ian Astbury is singing on some new material for them.

Marijana, cocaine and the promise of sex after the give yield the best funk.
