[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1488471363' post='3249253'] Would have to agree with you on Geezer. I was listening to bands in late 70s early 80s without much interest in bass. Then i heard sabbaths first album and his sound and playing really hit me. May not be the most technical but his sound got me hooked on playing bass. Its a shame that i think that bass sound and style he had on first 3 or 4 albums disappeared on albums after that. [/quote] Yep, I joined the RN at that time and my interest in Sabbath declined with their own decline imo.

This must have been done before I guess but this morning I was walking from work (yes nights) listening to my MP3 player and I realised what did it for me. I didn't actually know such a thing as a bass guitar existed or what it sounded like if I'm honest (am I the only one?) as I was just a spotty 15 year old. Geezer Butler did it for me and he still does actually. Bloody awesome 47 years later.

Bump to the top for this superb pedal. https://youtu.be/MQYlPjw8YOw -
Bump for a photo of the best Boss flanger (imo).

Bump for a photo of the mighty Ola Chorus.

I've only had this great pedal for 4 weeks. If it's so good then why am I selling it you may well ask? Because I love it, it's turned me on to Strymon so much I wanted to buy Mike's (SK8's) Strymon Orbit flanger too. Then I thought, heck just get a Strymon Mobius and I've gone down that very route. The Mobius covers both the Ola and the Orbit and much more besides so I'm selling the Ola for what it cost me, £150. That's about 1/2 new price. No box but I'll print off the instructions. In near perfect condition. Delivered to the UK for free or try in Kendal Peter

If anyone is ever in Morecambe pop into Promenade Music and ask for Gary. A great selection of basses and a welcome assured. Peter

This post had me tempted but I realise I'm more than happy with my LMII and LM Tube 500. In fact it just reinforced how good they are so thank you. -
NBD - awww it's a MiM Jazz weighing in at 9½lbs

So it nose dives, the A string buzzes and it's heavy. Remind me why I don't own a Fender. All the best with it though -
There's some interesting stuff coming out in here.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1487098333' post='3237095'] Sorry, no. I'd never heard of him, and now having had a listen to a couple of his songs I know why. Not my kind of thing in the slightest. [/quote] I just wondered, with you being a Nottingham musician. Not everyone's cuppa for sure. Sunhouse 'Crazy on the Weekend' is one of my favourite albums but my taste in music is pretty wide:)

That is lovely. Interest in Bogart basses (5 string unfortunately) most definitely registered. Peter -
Some good suggestions. A little fantasy does no harm BigRed, I'm a Gavin Clark fan, do you know the fella? Peter

I was listening to some Tool today and I thought to myself, if I could swap places with any bassist it would be Justin Chancellor. The tone, the riffs and the music! Okay it's a fantasy and this 62 year old average bass player knows that. So, no 'clever' answers please. If you think it's pointless keep away, one word, a band present or past.

I'd like to add that the B string on my 34" scale Finn stands head and shoulders above any B string that I've ever played. It's like playing a normal E string almost. I put it down to the rigidity in Alan's neck construction as that is the only unknown in the string tension equation. Peter

My band got played on the radio last night (12th)

I'm well chuffed for you -
I'm old enough that Eva Gardner evokes memories of another non bass playing female

Is anybody getting bored of "reliced" instruments?
GreeneKing replied to prowla's topic in Bass Guitars
Interesting to see no love for relic'd basses so far. I've never seen the point but they are popular. I always think that buckle rash is a fail myself. But each to their own. -
Nicely done. Is that a 33" scale? Some damn fine basses owned by ead.

The Mustang isn't unique with the pickup switch issue. The Yamaha BB2024 I sold to Chris (Beedster) had a duff switch and I tried one in a shop recently and that was the same, and that's a £2k+ bass. Easily sorted though. Peter

Beautiful!

[quote name='fftc' timestamp='1486714558' post='3233985'] I thought I had made the initial post fairly clear as I asked about 4 specific stores based on price and availability. And most requests for advice are usually about information useful to the person who is asking for the advice. Maybe that's not the Basschat way! Thanks for the warm welcome. [/quote] Seriously, welcome I don't think you'd been quite so clear about why other retailers weren't to be considered but, hey ho.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1486710084' post='3233954'] So this isn't something to provide useful thoughts and information to us all? It's just for you? Ok, nothing to see here then. I've probably ordered from them all with no problems to be an adult and make a choice. [/quote] I posted a comment along similar lines but deleted it as too contentious (my comment was more so). The OP needs to be clear what he's asking in his opening post. Gear 4 Music have always been great. I've not used Bax or DV247. GAK have lukewarm and inconsistent customer service imo.

Lovely!
