  1. In the Little Britain Dennis Waterman sketches, they use ridiculously large props so as to make him look small, this bass reminds me of such a prop due to the size of the neck, headstock and general clumsy looking nature of it.

  4. The greatest electric bass guitarist ever.
  5. Mysterious Traveller; Weather Report, Nick Drake; all of his albums and Prefab Sprout; Protest Songs.
  6. [quote name='silddx' post='726620' date='Jan 27 2010, 05:48 PM']Pixie Lott - some great songs on there, she has a lovely voice, but by christ it's horribly mastered. Florence and the Machine. Very, very good, enjoying very, very much![/quote] It's too late to what? Her stage school training has come in very handy to help her sound like Adele, Lilly and Amy, she's a genius.
  7. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='721713' date='Jan 22 2010, 10:21 PM']He's been an influence on me for as long as I've played bass. Love his playing to bits, a seriously under rated disco bassist who deserves to be up there with Bernard Edwards. Thats not his actual myspace page though, its a tribute.[/quote]"We Know". He has that "Wallander" vibe about him and other Swedes do too, where by you don't need to tell others you are a star, to be a star.
  8. I love this man, what a feel. Err... look at his friends page, [url="http://www.myspace.com/rutgergunnarsson"]http://www.myspace.com/rutgergunnarsson[/url]
  9. My missus is rubbing my shoulder as I type, this has really sadened me, such a young lad with a great future, tragic.

One of these chaps is a font of knowledge on all things Fender. The other is called Leo. Oh, aye.. forgot to mention that one of them is one of BC's own.

  12. If it's a vintage style Tbird, you can use a large bladed screwdriver to lower the whole of the bridge via the 3 big screws that it is suspended on, slacken off your strings first and try half a turn at a time. You need to turn the screws so they go into the body.
  13. Howddy. What kind of bridge has it got? Is it the Gibson style "3 point" or what?
  14. [quote name='Greydad' post='719433' date='Jan 20 2010, 06:51 PM']Newbie here, some rig shots, different basses, same trusty Ashdown powering them all: Pink instrument cables have better bass response, as we all know...[/quote]Hi there, lovely stuff, nice Zon too.
  15. [quote name='robocorpse' post='718001' date='Jan 19 2010, 04:17 PM']"the pickups alone are worth around £1000" [/quote]What a load of bologna. I use to own one and yes, the neck had been snapped off and repaired properly by myself when I worked at KGB guitars. I wouldn't buy it if I couldn't see it and play it before hand. No picks of the front of the headstock, why?
  16. What shop was this at?
  17. [quote name='nick' post='716984' date='Jan 18 2010, 07:33 PM']My favourite [/quote]Now THAT'S a bass solo.
  18. I love Domino Theory, except for the track "Can It Be Found" . Swamp Cabbage is a great track, so is D.T.
  19. [quote name='The Bass Doc' post='716454' date='Jan 18 2010, 11:51 AM']Got a strong feeling it's a re-spray - check out the quality of paintwork in the 'bridge' pic.[/quote]I agree and there is some sort of suspect outlined indentation around the pickup. And in the neck plate shot, traces of purle paint, it looks like a total dog.
  20. Oh yeah.
  21. [quote name='Clarky' post='715167' date='Jan 16 2010, 08:25 PM']Plenty of room at the BassChat piss-take forum ... Unless you're Big Beef Chief, With your taste for sheep[/quote]Solo......
  22. [quote name='LettuceFunk' post='715123' date='Jan 16 2010, 07:24 PM']You all know the deal with these wee bad boys (4ohm 800watts rms 2x12 neo speakers 200 watt bullet tweeter), it's in near perfect condition and i'm only getting rid of it because i'm using a G&K combo at the minute and have no need for it. I'm based in Newry in Northern Ireland and to be honest i really can't be arsed shipping! i'll upload some photees on monday. Cheers Dave[/quote]Laid back to the max
