  2. Argh GAS ! That's a silly price.
  3. WHAT ?! It's a fluffing pickguard ! Anyone willing to pay that much just to have an 'authentic' instrument has more money than sense.
  4. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/bass-guitar-COLLECTION-ONLY_W0QQitemZ220161378036QQihZ012QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/bass-guitar-COLLECTI...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] I bet he's inundated with emails for this one.
  5. The neck material has no bearing on making the bass easier to slap on. It does however have a bearing over how easy it is to set a low useable action, which makes it easier to slap on .
  6. Lovely pair, I like the good vs evil theme too .

  8. *bump* one of these sold for £149 on eBay last week..

  10. You are quite right, it would be troublesome to get pickups to fit without extra routing/mess holes, but.. Why replace the pickups anyway !? the standard BB pickups are more than capable and I never felt the need to replace them in my BB614. If you want to spend as little as possible then buy a bass than doesn't require upgrading.
  11. My Electric Blue hasn't let me down yet, i'm only selling it to get an ABM.
  12. Around £180 I'd say for the passive model.
  13. [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='74568' date='Oct 15 2007, 01:14 PM']Owned and played Ashdown happily for a number of years. Never had any reliability issues and really like the sound too. All subjective I guess, but if it was as bad as everyone says it is, I'd argue that you wouldn't see it on as many concert stages around the world as you do.[/quote] That pretty much sums it up I think. Perhaps a marmite brand ?
  14. [quote name='tonyf' post='74438' date='Oct 15 2007, 09:27 AM']Will keep that in mind as the "kids" keep nagging me to let "Uncle Matt" to come over when "Daddy" is away. lol T[/quote] Well if they start calling me Daddy then you DO have to worry .
  15. Yes it is.. Other cheap 5 strings to consider: Yamaha BB415 / BB615. Ibanez SRX Series (www.ibanez.com)
  16. I had the pleasure last week of checking all of Tony's basses out. They are all stunning and i've offered to look after them for him when he goes on holiday .
  17. They're not bad, what are you looking for in a bass ? We may be able to give some other options to you.
  18. I'll go with Beedster, I reckon he's dodgy .
  19. I think any bass with the right setup and technique is good enough to slap on. *Most* players choose 4 strings to slap on.
  20. Looks a bit dodgy to me - the machineheads are way too close to the edge of the headstock:
  21. You're joking right ? Here's a real one - work it out. [url="http://www.flying-v.ch/81vbass/fb81bass.html"]http://www.flying-v.ch/81vbass/fb81bass.html[/url]

  23. An unnamed shop near me are trying to sell a Musicman Stingray copy (with headstock decal etc) for £400. They are aware it is fake as well...
  24. WTF indeed ! He just did a slide and thinks he can play a different style of music ?!
