  1. A couple of times I have bought basses from Japan that were sent via DHL and it was a DHL van that delivered them. In one case I missed the delivery and the driver rang later in the day to see about re-delivering in the afternoon. Add to that 2 days door to door from Tokyo and I was very impressed.
  2. I have recently acquired a Squier Musicmaster Vista Series and it has absolutely no shortage of growl. Aggressive little beast, all things considered, but tamed to something very interesting with the tone rolled off 3/4 or more.. I reckon these Vista models are absolute gems.
  3. Always worth repeating, this one about creating your password: [url="http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/creating-a-password-cabbage.jpg"]http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/creating-a-password-cabbage.jpg[/url] Decided to link it, rather than post it, as it has rude words...
  4. Reminds me of this http://youtu.be/50A9wjJ40Dk
  5. I'll have the Levi pouch, please - might work out better than my back pocket. PM incoming.
  6. There was a single bid on it for a day or so but that must have been retracted. I can just see that sitting in my bass rack... along with too many others, sadly.
  7. Thank you. Too wide, thankfully. Once again, another sleepless night avoided It is a stunningly good looking bass - black, black and maple are my favourite combo and there's something rather nice going on in the neck grain, too. This should go really quickly.
  8. Gorgeous. My inevitable question is - how wide is the neck at the nut, please?
  9. Boxing day price reduction bump to £450 plus carriage.
  10. Hearth Vader? I lost the plot around 2:35.
  11. Sonic blue for me. I just acquired a bass in sonic blue and it is cool as anything.
  12. Graham and Truckstop - muchas gracias! I see a few hours on headphones coming up over the holidays!
  13. Mail order cakes for xmas - Yule log in post. Or has that been done?
  14. That neck dive would take more than a wide strap to cure.
  15. anyone remember this? http://youtu.be/sBmYkXVteaU
  16. I was expecting a link to this listing: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Low-Rider-Shred-neck-Bass-guitar-practice-tool-/252224462584?hash=item3ab9bfdef8:g:ap8AAOSw~otWe~Wj"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Low-Rider-Shred-neck-Bass-guitar-practice-tool-/252224462584?hash=item3ab9bfdef8:g:ap8AAOSw~otWe~Wj[/url] Although I think less is less in this case.
  17. I have to admit I have never really got a grip on all the various sub-genres of Heavy Metal music. Then again, I did kind of stop listening to it all after Black Sabbath. Could someone (or some people?) please list all the various types, describe what makes them distinct and - ideally - link to an example? Obrigado
  18. Back to the OP, I am guessing that if you fitted a 34" scale neck to a 30" scale bass body, even if there was enough room to move the bridge backwards to make it intonate correctly it would presumably neck dive like crazy?
  19. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1450899398' post='2936885'] I didn't know of her existence, actually - I merely Googled 'Loggins' and 'Bikini', hoping to see a picture of Kenny Loggins in a bikini. The fishing angle is just a bonus, obviously... [/quote] Kenny Loggins in a bikini. Of course.
  20. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1450820706' post='2936264'] Actually this thread is making me go all misty-eyed... [/quote] I find it slightly discomforting that you knew of the existence of Ms Loggins And although educated at a 'boys only' school I've never heard of the euphemism 'tie one one' before, either.
  21. A perceived issue with short scale basses is that the larger gentleman feels they look like toys. I wouldn't consider myself small but am quite comfortable using my Dano Longhorn or my new old Squier Musicmaster Vista.
  22. I have never used a Sansamp so couldn't say. However - bumping for a possible trade - I'd take a telecaster guitar in PX with a varying amount cash my way, depending upon which telecaster it is.
  23. So I'd heard. Mine was around 9.5lbs, not overly heavy but too heavy for me. Now the Shergold I had was light as a feather - 7.5lbs.... Anyway, no more pictures, please....
