Sounds like you need to let rip, and rid yourself of pent up aggression. S.O.D./Slayer could help you -

[quote name='E sharp' post='728125' date='Jan 28 2010, 09:28 PM']I'm with you all the way I'm in the process of saving and flogging off , to get a yellow Status. Headed 4 string Stealth - black hardware - and all yellow . I mean everything . One piece graphite bass - spray the lot - even pick ups . Will cost a bit more (so Rob informed me a few years ago , and I got the impression that he wasn't too keen) Just thought it'll be a bit different , though after watching an old Top Gear , where they had 3 supercars on a road trip (yellow , orange and green) , any of these colours may also be different . Any of these 3 colours would be great and they're the same as on my kid's duplo (lego) bricks . Yeah yellow - bring it on [/quote] wow! -

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='726994' date='Jan 27 2010, 10:27 PM']I want one. Eventually. Must have; Canary Yellow paintjob Black hardware. If it has a scratchplate, that'll be black. Matching (Yellow, then!) headstock. Ebony or (stained darker) Rosewood fretboard No exposed polepieces- or I'll coat them with black nail varnish! Natural coloured frets are a necessary evil. Do DR do coated Yellow strings or will I just have to use Warwick yellow labels!!![/quote] Now we're talkin' -
[quote name='BassJase' post='727147' date='Jan 28 2010, 12:12 AM']These are fantastic combo's, I used one for a few gigs and it was awesome, especially with an extension cab for bigger venues. Have a bump dude.... [/quote] Thanking you kindly I love this,but when my band split temporarily,I went for something a little smaller for transport reasons.

I look at fleabay,every couple of days. I was fairly addicted at one time. Over the last say,20 months I have noticed fewer bass related items listed(proper kubicki's steinberger,schecter etc) if there are things of interest,they seem more expensive. The way things are sold now are a complete pain in the kyber pass! Too much red tape for the seller,and more cotton wool for the buyers. Last transaction I had ,involved me selling 2 concert tkts. Couldn't understand why I had to wait for payment. Of course,I know now. I try to avoid selling completely on there If I can

[quote name='zephead' post='726959' date='Jan 27 2010, 09:51 PM']Logically thinking, seeing as the output jack acts as a switch then that would be the most likely area to concentrate on. However i have already changed the jack which made no difference. Maybe i need to use a certain type of jack - are there different types?[/quote] Yeah,Switcraft are allegedly the best. However,the repairman did all sorts of tests on my bass for a week ,before he came to the conclusion to change the jack. -
I have the above,and as I have my brother temporarily moving in with me(gulp) this will have to go (sob!) Cash value? £300.00 o.n. o Trade wise: To be honest,I have enough gear,but am after the following; Yamaha Attitude (cash and amp from me) Effects: I already own a mint condition Boss oDB . I could be thinking of a Boss pedalboard with power supply containing Delay ,phaser,flanger Auto wah. Altogether. OR AN EBS EQUIVALENT setup. You get the idea Now,about location: I can deliver to central London (Waterloo/city/west end) You could collect from me (Twickenham) Or ,you could try before you buy at Survival Studios Acton on a Sunday . I will not post tho' as I want you to be happy. Sorry about that. Let me know what you've got Cheers

[quote name='jim_bass' post='726428' date='Jan 27 2010, 03:23 PM']You will be fine getting the upgrade from Amazon to V9. Logic is not available for PC, so maybe it's someone's typo on amazon. V7's layout is horrible and confusing compared to V8/9. Well worth the upgrade IMO. I'm saving to buy V9 for at home, I've got 7 on my work laptop and I really struggle with it.[/quote] Thanks for that. I'm at home next Friday,so will order logic express 9 nxt week

[quote name='twowheeledwriter' post='723826' date='Jan 25 2010, 08:41 AM']Well, I'm not sure about yellow basses, but I have a lovely yellow Stratocaster, from 1989, which is very similar to this one...: [url="http://www.gbase.com/gear/fender-american-deluxe-standard-stratocas-198"]Graffiti Yellow Strat[/url] ...but with locking tuners and roller nut. I think I paid about 400 pounds for it at the end of 1989 when I had my first job. Maybe I need a matching Precision or Jazz alongside it?[/quote] Niiiice strat! -

[quote name='Chris2112' post='723830' date='Jan 25 2010, 08:45 AM']Looking at bright yellow guitars, it doesn't really get much cooler than the stuff Ibanez did in the 80's... Shame they don't make them like that anymore![/quote] my friend hade one very similar to the middle one. The nnnnnnneck on his was black tho'.
