Sorry to hear about this. I was moments from pulling the trigger on this bass when I saw it.... You beat me to it. Ebay's such a shark pit these days.

Or do old pickups really go for this much?

Having just read the OP, I've looked across the room at my active Status Shark and noticed I've left it plugged in for the last 2 days... DOH!

Just send them an email with a link to this thread.

You're going to need some sort of man trap... bear traps will work just as well. But what to bait your trap with? That's the question... Maybe some sort of regional media endorsed pissing contest would entice the ego of the local muso's. Prize being the barmaid at the local boozer? I'm sure she'd be game... so long as the prize isn't a drummer.

It's been mentioned a couple of times already in this thread but, from my experience, when I gave away my EB-0 copy and spent my life savings on a '73 Jazz, my game improved dramatically. My jealous guitar playing friend described it as "taking a rolls royce to the corner shop for a pint of milk" but I gradually got to grips with the b'stard and will forever regret selling it.

nice curtains

Music is the great leveller... enjoy your craft... somebody else will too.

hypnotic stuff... great link, thanks!

[quote name='P-T-P' post='422674' date='Mar 1 2009, 09:13 PM']It says so much more about them than it does about the band.[/quote] You couldn't elaborate that for me could you? I'd honestly love to know.

I am unashamed of my dislike of U2. Years it's been going on now, man and boy. I could never miss an opportunity to express my dismay that such a banal act has inflicted itself on my conciousness for so bloody long. U2 week on the BBC? A new album by a tired old act masquerading as a social event, a musical happening. Just one long commercial for a band I've never liked pumped out over all the BBC's networks. There's been no escape and it really grinds my gears. If I was in any danger of buying a TV licence I'd be gutted at patronising such corporate shillary... and such hoary old, foot on monitor, rock god posturing. I didn't like it 25 years ago and I don't like it now.

Bono calls Chris Martin a w*nker...... Pot.... meet kettle.

I think it's great that the BBC are giving this, much needed, free exposure across all it's networks to the new album from one of the biggest acts in the world... ... no wait. No I don't.

If there was one, I'd buy a George Porter Jr P Bass.

me likey

I like it, the enthusiasm comes across in spades. Hello to a fellow wirralalien.

It's OKay!!! I have absolutely no idea who would buy this music, (I wouldn't), or who would turn up to watch it live, (I might for a friend...) but I still think it's alright. Good composition and good performance. The recording lacks a bit of sheen but every seems to be in the right place, (bearing in mind i'm listening to a laptop!!!).

Needs more BLAAARG, and less wibble... if you catch my meaning. I likes your songs, composition and performance. What are you trying to achieve with these recordings? If this is a promo, would you be better served making a simple live recording, in a room with good acoustics with minimal mic'age... just left and right? *runs away*

Well... It does have a simplistic charm, and it's nicely melodic. Not a very flattering recording and not very tight, (not such a bad thing imo). A work in progress... I'd like to hear you have another stab at it.

Sorry to bump this but that looks like the first bass I ever owned. An Avon Rose Morris, made in Japan. [url="http://img469.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00119copysmall13ac.jpg"]http://img469.imageshack.us/my.php?image=d...pysmall13ac.jpg[/url]
