[quote name='ARGH' post='435751' date='Mar 16 2009, 07:30 AM']Wood and it being the cause of tone is rubbish... Dont give it as much kudos to tone origin as people would like it to be...The P/U and scale are far higher in affection of sound. Throw string choice and how and where its played..wood is wayyyyy down the chain...very little in effect of tone creation.[/quote] +1 it's not so much the wood, it's the dope that's holding it that creates the tone...

Welcome matey

Blakes 7?

[/quote] Was happy with what I got for it (what I was asking for, and not much less than I paid 2 years ago), suprised it went for so much on eaby. Hope it's gone to a better place. It's being bullsh*tted that's got up my hooter, when guy's like yourself wanted it for the right reasons Think I was wrong when I said He didn't realise what he was getting, (looked like he was fighting off a combined harvester with a cheesecake )

[quote name='MB1' post='433598' date='Mar 13 2009, 01:22 PM']MB1. Finished at £1102 so looks like hes made £2 on it Sooper? [/quote] (muffled) Can't speak. Mouth full of feathers Must have misheard him, said he wanted to learn slap. A quick learner eh? I have nothing but my best wishes for his continued success. (pass me something sharp to throw myself on...)

Yes it's the one I've just sold 10 days ago!!!

Ahhh, you don't get craftmanship like that anymore, Chippendale ? 1066?

Classifieds on BC will save you the *-bay (ripoff) surcharges, and I find the prices are more realistic here anyway. Andy P.S. This one small enough?[attachment=21869:images.jpg]

A Lurking bassist- sounds like there should be medication for that, Welcome matey. I call your TTLS and raise you 'away in a manger' Ha!

It was built to celebrate Ritter's 10th anniversary, with a customer already lined up for it!!! At the time it was supposed to have cost $100k.....[/quote] Blo*dy inflation/Labour government/price of fuel/VAT etc,etc,etc

[quote name='Eight' post='431239' date='Mar 11 2009, 08:36 AM']Ok that is pretty though.[/quote] Glitzy maybe, but can't see the point, I wouldn't dare play it (If Kiwi sees it he'll be looking to upgrade from his shuker...

Bet he's a right smug ****

[/quote] Daaahling your a genius! This green armani thing I have, simply [i]has[/i] to go! Every time I wear pink against the white wall tyres it's just clash clash clash. Inspirational!

The ramp for my wheel chair is concrete, never thought about colouring it before... (Ducks and covers)

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='417120' date='Feb 23 2009, 07:00 AM']A company called Graphtec made the piezo pickups and two of the three preamps. One is a buffer preamp for the piezo, another is a filter/mixing preamp which sends the signal from the buffer preamp to the 13 pin socket. The third preamp is Jon's own eq. The signal then goes to an Axon AX100 pitch to MIDI convertor which senses the pitch and converts the signal to MIDI before passing it on to whatever MIDI devices are attached.[/quote] My brain hurts!!! where's my tea chest, broom handle and string... Nice bass, you have far too much dosh

Got to learn how to play now! God help me. Reece [/quote] We all had to, and he won't help. Don't be disheartened when you don't sound like guy pratt by the end of your first practice. I gave it an hour a day 5 times a week and after 2months things were sinking in and rhythms were coming out. Only tip I would give is don't pick it up when you're tired, cos you'll only get p*ssed off with it when it won't work, and you will not pick it up again. Good luck, can't wait to hear some success Andy

Would recommend you stay away from 'starter kits' from stagg. my first bass was a stagg and it looked like it was made by an apprentice joiner who didn't have any thumbs. Pup controls were all skewed, made from balsa, strings were like razors and it made a noise like a farting morris minor.LMAO Pic looked good on e-bay tho.... Andy

Always makes me feel that life is worthless and I should have ended it years ago. your girl cheats on you, your dog always dies, you aren't really your fathers son, And everyone thinks your a cowardly w*nker. Pass me something sharp to throw myself on!!
