Hi ALL Just to let yo know the Harbingers are playing a gig at The Crescent Pub IN Salford. On the 3rd September. Free Entry. Playing are own kind of Manchester indie, the more the merrier. cheers Ian check us out on myspace/harbingersuk.

I've done alot of recording and D-I-ing has always been my prefered choice. Always manage to get a great sound. Plus less kit to caryy to the studio bass, lead, sorted

Well you know i said i was going to get FENDER JAZZ............Well i was at PMT in salford and had a go on this bass and thought it was the dogs...... and half the price of the fender. You might think its totally out of left field but i bought a Yamaha BB714BS. Cracking bass and got great sound !!! Well happy. cheers Ian.

Update...... tried a new american jazz in dawsons manchester, very impressed felt right got a good sound so think thats what im gonna get. They do intrest free loan so although its nearly double me budget £88 a month over10 months not to bad. When i take delivery i'll post a pic. Cheers again for the help.

Thanx for your replys guys...... was thinkin of a fender P or Jazz might take a look at the indies Rick, but for some reason can't see the piccies on the link posted by nash of bassmaiden post ??

I know this could be down to personal preference but, im looking for a new bass..... i'm in a band that play indie guitar bassed music. At the moment ive got a yamaha rbx paid about 200 notes for it, but now lookin to change. Just don't know what to get not well up on me basses. Ideally would love to get a ricky but just cant afford it £ 500 is the most i can afford, is there another bass which will give me a similar kind of sound ?? and still look good ?. The sound i'm after is treble with a punch without losing the bass notes. At the moment im playin through a laney amp. I know this post could leave me open to a bit of ridicule, but if you don't ask you never know !!! cheers in advance of replies what ever they may be .

Just wondering if anybody can shed light on Grestch bass guitars namely the G6128B Thunder jet bass ? Like the styling just wondered if anybody has one if so what they like.

THE STONE ROSES - DAYBREAK followed by............ THE SMITHS - I STARTED SOMETHING I COULDN'T FINISH. ipod on shuffle ( manchester ) mode.

[quote name='BeLow' post='313468' date='Oct 24 2008, 12:21 AM']It's a long time ago but the Chieftan I think was a through neck fender style bass and the Warlord was the Alembic styled 'arrowhead headstock' model. Shortly before he wound up his UK operation Ashey made a small body version of the Warlord the styling of which I 'borrowed' when I made my first fretless bass. What I find a bit strange is the mix of the two styles in the aluminium necked fretlee here - it seems to be an in between bass.[/quote] In between bass is that a good thing or bad..... can't seem to find any info on this bass or any record ???? The chieftan was a through neck fender style with all four machine heads on top, not like mine which as you can see has 3 machine heads on top and one below. I'm wondering if i've got a prototype maybe ?

Took me ages to get the picture up and now i have its bloody at 90 degrees !!!!!! Oh well you get the idea. Its a through neck..... have emailed steve robinson, I only live round the corner from him. Cheers for all your replies and help. Ian

Hi guys I have got a pangborn fretless bass had it for 20 years, its got an aluminium fingerboard. Thing is the neck is a bit bowed, just wondering if somebody knows where i could get it serviced and maybe give me an idea of value. Havn't played it for ages been stuck in me loft..... I live in the manchester area. Any help gratefully received. cheers Ian

Hello everybody.... just joined the site. I'm into all sorts of music from pink floyd thro to indie. Mainly play indie stuff, no covers though are own stuff. Just started playing again after a short break...... 10 years. At the moment i'm using a yamaha bass through a laney RB5 120 watts, to get me back into the swing of things. I realise now that the RB5 isn't going to cut the mustard but im a bit tight for cash at the mo, so was wondering if i bought me self a cab to hook up to would this give me a better sound or do i have to save up to get a better amp ? I like alot of treble but still like to feel the bass end aswell and the RB5 just doesn't do it . I know from watching the site for a bit that sound is a very subjective debate but if you think along the lines of Bruce Foxton, John Jaque Brunnel you know the type of sound im after. Cheers Ian
