  1. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='416025' date='Feb 21 2009, 10:47 AM']We need players like Wooten. He pushes the envelope of what's possible on the instrument. And this in turn inspires us to become better bass players. Otherwise we all might as well just play 12 bar, 3 chord tricks in pubs for the rest of our lives.[/quote]

    +1

    I couldn't agree more, you will find generally the kind of people that hate Wooten are the people that CAN'T do his technique.

    He, like many famous players has just expanded on a technique, which he is VERY good at.

    The world of bass would be alot more boring without player's who stepped up and said 'Hey, look what I can do'.

    Like him or not, he is highly talented, and a massive influence on the world of current and upcoming bass players.

    Guess it'll be Mark King next aye :)

  2. Only just noticed this section, otherwise would of posted ages ago!

    Traded my lakland with Craig for his beautiful Status, and must he is a top bloke, and a damn good player too!

    Live's in my hometown so a bit of softness goes there :)

    Really good guy to deal with!

    Would be a beginner's error but one I make all the time :P

    I have yes, my spector has no problem through the same set up.......

    Oh dear ;)

  4. Hi there!

    I have a Status Kingbass Artist that I love to death, but recently she's been cutting out and making a fuzz sound when you first plug her in, continues randomly after that.

    I though although I had replaced the batteries a week ago it could be them, so I've replaced them again, but STILL she is doing it ;)

    I'm gutted as I'm playing a functions gig Sat and was hoping to use her, but I don't know whether it's something very serious or not so don't want to risk it.

    Does anyone know what it could be that's causing this? I live in Brighton so the local GAK is a stroll down the road.....but do I really want to trust them with this bass?

    Any advice would be appreciated! (Expect MB1 or Outtoplayjazz :P)

    Cheers!

  5. Hi all!

    Up for grabs is my lovely Fender Jaguar, she doesn't get played anymore and I'd rather move her on to someone who will ;)

    She's been my main gigging bass for the last 2 years (until I bought my spector :))

    Got some buckle rash on the back(pics provided), and I will happily remove all the stickers (scratchplate and one on body)

    Will put a new set of 40's on her, doesn't have a case or gig bag so collection is prefered, delivery is an option but will add more to price.

    Hope someone will give her a good home :P

    Cheers!

  6. Hi there!

    Having recently upgraded my rig, my long time companion set up needs to go.

    It's a Behringer BX3000T head, 300 watts, 1 into 4 ohms or 2 into 8 ;)

    Accompanying this is a Behringer Ultrabass BB 210, 600 watt 2x10 cab.

    The cab does have a tweeter, but I've always had it switched off (switch at the back)

    Has been gigged alot, but still sounds pretty damn good!

    Obviously I know it's not the best rig in the world, but it's always been good enough for me :P

    Asking for £100, buyer would have to collect as I don't drive sorry!

    Cheers!

    EDIT: Was on hold, but the person hasn't got back to me in ages, so back up for sale!

  7. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='407133' date='Feb 11 2009, 11:22 PM']Obvious reply.... Do bears s**t in the woods? Is the Pope catholic? Does Ghandi wear flipflops? Does the aforementioned Ghandi have footrot? Etc, etc, etc...[/quote]
    Sorry I didn't make myself clearer......

    Fender have squires.....Ernie Ball have subs....this doesn't mean they are great basses?!

    I only have a Kingbass and so is all I know ;)

    Cheers!

  8. [quote name='basswesty' post='405946' date='Feb 11 2009, 07:25 AM']Just interested is all ;)

    You can never have too many basses, my wife thinks you can but we all know different.
    How's my old Kingbass?[/quote]


    Haha, I think the other halves are slightly jealous for our love of basses.....:)

    And she is still firmly in my hands, poor Spector doesn't know what's happened :P

    Looking to get a decent rig so I can something to compliment the bass!

    These 5000 series meant to be any good?

  9. I own one of these girls, a lovely red one too :P

    Was my first 'proper' bass, and reading previous posts I totally agree with people's reviews, it is a beautiful bass.

    Really versatile, great neck, and I personally love the retro look. It is definitely worth the money (as a passive bass).

    The pre - amp is not great, and so the active sound is pretty poor compared to my other actives (Spector Euro, also have a Status Kingbass coming sunday ;)).........And mine also makes a funny noise when you turn her over to active.......

    But for a passive bass they are superb. Open pole pickups aren't great for slap so keep that in mind, tends to complain at that.

    I still have mine, and even though she hangs on my wall I still use her and couldn't part with.

    Hope that helps good sir.

  10. Hi there!

    I have a very beautiful 4 string Lakland (Darryl Jones sig) that I never seem to use anymore (blame spector), and so I am very interested in seeing if anyone would like to trade for another beautiful bass ;)

    It is in perfect condition, apart from on little tiny ding near the base (have zoomed in pic to show).

    Preferably after a 5 stringer, but I'm open to any offers!

    Cheers!

    Sam.
