We couldn't sell the damn thing on ebay for 20 quid lol.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1339054791' post='1682836'] Someone sore from not getting the bass player role? [/quote] Islamic extremist cum bass player cum master thief?

I should have mentioned that in the original post I am in Beverley, East Yorkshire.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1338998285' post='1682188'] I suppose we all have our views on them, for me they seem to be popular in the US where bigger is better and they have the money to spend on beautifully crafted, over-specified instruments with ever more features and, in this case, ever more strings (17 and 18 strings are now de rigueur, no doubt the first 20 string 'erbg' has been made). [/quote] Mate, I remember a few years ago a bloke in the states was going to build a 24 string bass (no double courses or anything, 24 single strings) but had to scrap it because he got a $1000 fine for drunk driving lol.

[quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1322147503' post='1447220'] "The Hawk" is BRILLIANT. Is it Microsoft Sam on vocals? [/quote] No! It's Stephen Hawking, obviously edit: presumably that is why it is called "The Hawk". V. Clever, love it.

We've got this sink just lying around our garage that we would like rid of: It's pretty damn heavy (I would hazard a guess at 25-30 kg) so you will need to pick it up. Also, the taps leak so you will need some new taps. Other than that it is fine and will suit any rustic style bathroom. PM me if you're interested. Thanks,

[quote name='Dread Bass' timestamp='1338892144' post='1680529'] I think the difficulty with ERBs is that if you dont play anything fancy people say you dont need an ERB but if you do play anything fancy you get told you are a show off, between a rock and a hard place. I only use a 7, I have no use for a 9. I do not play solos or anything i use it in a band. Its tuned EBEADGC I have another one which is tuned to BEADGCF which i also enjoy messing with. [/quote] +1. You can't win really. I am probably just repeating myself now but I just can't stand it when people get all uppity about instruments that do not conform to the "norm". I think all these classification of instruments as "bass", "tenor", "alto" etc is all just outdated anyway. IMV of course.

That's what I hate about bass amps- you want to show them off and put them through their paces at gigs but you always end up having to use whatever crap is at the venue lol.

Would it not be cheaper just to buy some tools?

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1338927748' post='1681327'] Incidentally, has New Model Army's website been hacked...? If this is/was the correct one.

In a moment of madness and complete lack of self control, I succumbed to the dark powers of GAS and bought a pair of KRK Rokit 8 G1 monitors. I figured my old ones were slightly buggered so it was only appropriate that I replace them. And I have always wanted a pair of decent monitors. So I am going to hope these are reasonably good. I'll let you know how I get on (not that I'm sure you're particularly bothered )

A pragmatist. I like it.

That is gorgeous. So much mojo

Yep, already been posted by Monckyman, who works with NMA: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178209-stolen-gear-please-read/

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1338891943' post='1680525'] Done. However, I spoke untruth. I'd told you I'd repeat what you'd written about the Fender. However, what I really posted on there was: "ANDERS, you are a pathetic little despot. Frankly you can stick you attitude and your ATTITUDE up your anal tract. Talk about "my ball and I'm taking it away", you small minded cyber bully. And yes, I hope others on Basschat point this out to you." I just hope this was nice and polite. English is not my first language, you know. [/quote] I think you Europeans really know how to stick it to people in English!

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1338888748' post='1680446'] G? Would you not just take up bass? Oh, hang on [/quote] I do play the bass. And one of them is tuned to the next G down

Yep, it's a real pisser. I remember I was kicked off a so-called "anti-hate" facebook page for daring to say that maybe it is slightly hypocritical that they are so happy about someone being given a lethal injection. There you go, that's life. The admins on a lot of these pages are dicks and they can do whatever they want so hey ho that's life I guess. You will just have to start your own

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1336204229' post='1642369'] Nice. It's hard to find a 7 string set with a heavy enough B, I found. When I had a 7 the biggest B string I could find in a set was a 52, which I usually use for E 7s are a lot of fun [/quote] I was lucky enough to manage to get a 0.064" string for mine, which I tune down to G \,,/

I don't know why people think they have to limit themselves to one instrument. Get some keyboards, keep the bass and just go back to it when you feel more into it. Problem solved.

Gr8 looking bass. I always like it when the neck heel is shallowed down to make it easier to get to the upper frets.

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1338721893' post='1678371'] My pair, both from 1985. The white one has new pickups. A SD Hot Stack at the bridge and a Fender P'62 at the neck. [/quote] gr8 combo!

ok done that. I must say having done 2 years of a degree I am still yet to have to make a survey...

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1338632876' post='1677373'] I've no experience of Harley Benton but a lot of cheap PA stuff I've examined is unbelievably well made for the price, I couldn't buy the parts for the cost of the completed cabs. [/quote] +1 about this. I had a look online, no way could I make something like the 15" maplin PA speaker for £100, which is what it cost me. I do have experience of HB stuff. My first ever bass was a Harley Benton jazz clone and at the time I thought it to be pretty well put together. One of my friends who was more experienced on the bass said he thought it was pretty good to play as well, the only difference between it and something like an MIM fender being the fact that it was a bit of a bigger body.
