  1. [quote name='solo4652' post='557752' date='Aug 1 2009, 01:12 PM']Hi all, Just back from a wet and windy week-long sailing regatta, and feeling my age. BassBunny is absolutely right. It was Greene-Mann not Greenking who posted the "Beginners bass wanted" ad to which I responded a few weeks ago. My apologies to everybody for the unintended confusion. Doooh.[/quote] By way of a bump! Not a problem, I kinda half guessed it was the other Green Do you sail Solo's too? Peter - ex Enterprise racer
  2. Have a look on Thomann, they have a wide variety at a range of prices. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/index.html"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/index.html[/url]
  3. Texas is a long way to do a pick up
  4. [quote name='trent900' post='556555' date='Jul 30 2009, 08:42 PM']I really must learn how to embed video...[/quote] +1
  5. I've only one thing to say: F'kinal' Absolutely stunning.
  6. [quote name='BB2000' post='556607' date='Jul 30 2009, 09:26 PM']TI flats should cope with through body stringing due to the slight gap between the windings.[/quote] Agreed they are supposed to but the only string failure I've ever had has been flats thru body and if I remember correctly (not guaranteed ) they were TI's.
  7. [quote name='cytania' post='555713' date='Jul 29 2009, 10:59 PM']Second set I've had that have snapped, and not even when I was attacking them bigtime. Off to buy some D'Addarios tomorrow, will try flats and see if they tame my Ibanez. On the subject of my Ibanez SRX400 I am finding that although the bridge looks rock solid where the strings go through the metal is getting quite gnarled up. Strings can pop out if tuner slackened. Oh and while I'm at it anyone noticed the tuner collars loosen over the months? Found a loose one on my Ibanez and a couple slack on my Spear (whose R has fallen off as predicted). Annoying night for my two basses...[/quote] Are we talking flats here? Through body stringing?
  8. [quote name='dazco' post='556015' date='Jul 30 2009, 11:31 AM']Then I shall defend myself If someone says "will you post to Spain" and the seller says "yes" and that person does not buy it then what is the point of asking? "Do you post to Spain" "Yes, I do" "Then I refuse to buy your product" [/quote] Well, I must be different then. I might be considering buying something, have a question which is answered in the positive which makes me think some more, can I afford it? No? The wife doesn't approve or oops the car needs a service..... It happens on BC sales all the time too, in fact some people even say 'I'll have it' and then change their mind. Including me once
  9. [quote name='wateroftyne' post='555854' date='Jul 30 2009, 08:37 AM']Nope. They're waiting for more information, photos of the neck pockets, etc. I know this, because I'm one of those 'idiots'.[/quote] I did think that statement about the 'Idiots' was pretty over the top. All the questions and answers served to illustrate the honesty of the seller too imo.
  10. Okay, what's a TV Logo guys?
  11. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='555485' date='Jul 29 2009, 07:30 PM']Have they got anything as thick as my head? probably not[/quote] Hey we all make mistakes 4mm is quite substantial. I like to custom order bass spk leads so as to get them the right length exactly, not oodles of spare or a bit of a stretch.
  12. That's a nice looking Jazz indeed. The passive tone used as a pull switch for the LED's is well neat too.

    Whelk's are great but is a veggie one
  14. You really did close the other thread As I said there, I'm more than happy with custom cables at a good price from Dave. Amp/Cab cables as thick as your arm, well nearly [url="http://www.bassic.co.uk/"]http://www.bassic.co.uk/[/url]
  15. I use Dave's leads and I'm not too ashamed to put in a plug (and a pun): [url="http://www.bassic.co.uk/"]http://www.bassic.co.uk/[/url]
  16. The insurance company will have a claim on it. Sadly if a whole chain of people have bought this bass for a fair price in good faith then a lot of people have a claim to it and it's probably best left in my experience unless you want an expensive court case. These issues are far from straightforward. One of my basses is a special edition purchased without a case or certificate from 'Crack-Converters'. Both I and the previous owner carried out our own checks to try and ascertain if it was stolen and came up with nowt. What more can you do?.
  17. [quote name='chriswilliams666' post='555412' date='Jul 29 2009, 06:30 PM']Unfortunately i dont want the programmable one. Just the bog standard jobby.[/quote] Aha I understand, not got a great deal of knowledge around Sansamps.

    Greetings

    Welcome in Adi, I think I beat Zoe to it
  19. I'd vote for pretty much anything by Mick Karn. Unmistakable sound. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vsAvMm22zg&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vsAvMm22zg...feature=related[/url]
  20. I have same (minus 1 tweeter) with a LMII and yes, an awesome rig. Tweeters can be turned down/off too.
  21. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=55880&hl=BDDI"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=55880&hl=BDDI[/url] I have an MXR and love it. Is there a way out of this with a BDDI for sale and you wanting to buy this one?
  22. [quote name='trbplayer' post='554142' date='Jul 28 2009, 04:38 PM']of course, Will Lee, Daryl Jones, Marcus Miller to name a few all use the 'drop D'. There's not much a 5 string can do that a 4 can't![/quote] Except B and C Peter - a 4 string player
  23. Someone buy this bass and relieve me of the unobtainium GAS I'm feeling.
  24. Not at all a 'loaded' question then 'Classic' vs 'Strange/Weird' In terms of J/P vs others I'd say the range of the others varies so much that the question is skewed. Conventional vs Unconventional? Why not embrace it all for different reasons would be my response (so I didn't vote).
  25. You sound like you're 'all at sea' with basses John. You want a light 4 stringed bass, are you set on a Jazz of some sort? What is it you like in terms of tone? Maybe you need to set up a poll My advice would be to try as many as possible without looking at the name on the headstock and you might be surprised.
