  1. I've bailed out - have a good time folks.
  2. [quote name='dood' timestamp='1332876523' post='1594402'] or ask a friendly moderator [/quote] Not me then.
  3. I think i've traded at least 6 instruments on here - some in person and some via post. Trust is something you need to establish with the buyer and you must use your judgement on whether to deal with that person or not (i've turned down trades with people I thought dodgy in the past).
  4. Traded pending the meet/swap .
  5. Runs like a dream for me on my Galaxy Nexus (using Chrome browser).
  6. Bump. I'll even throw in some exclusive signed by me Basschat business cards (Ltd Ed !).
  7. [quote name='Sheldon Dingwall' timestamp='1332708333' post='1592027'] 32" to 34.25" [/quote] Since the E string is near enough standard scale, what benefits does the novax system offer on a 4 string bass ? I understand the practicality on 5/6 string Dingwalls and have played a few to attest to it working well there.
  8. Sunday night bump. Here's a YouTube bid of a 4 string version being played with a pick - sounds quite gritty actually.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhXBE_NZscM&
  9. [quote name='jtcbass' timestamp='1332631722' post='1591072'] I wish I had the money for this. Got any other basses for sale? [/quote] Sorry no - i'm not a shop
  10. I was unsure about poplar initially but I don't think it has any real effect on the sound, i'd say it's quite similar to alder tonally. And of course it could be used for metal - but if you don't like 34" 5 strings then it won't be for you.
  11. I like them but I'd never get rid of all my conventional basses afterwards. I like variety.
  12. Base all the way. A bass is a fish.
  13. Ban impending unless pics appear sharpish.
  14. Last bump for a while
  15. This thread is 4 years old !
  16. Have you altered the individual pickup output control pots under the back panel ?
  17. *bump* I'm not going to move on price as it's the lowest i'd go but please feel free to drop me a message about a potential trade
  18. [quote name='loudandclear' timestamp='1331903467' post='1580660'] So I assume from this People will lose subscriptions if they have them? [/quote] That may explain the persistant emails I receieved from them about my sub expiring. Got about 2 a week for a month I think (I didnt renew).
  19. Thanks for the offer but am looking for an equivalent value/quality instrument as trade
  20. Before this I had a 2002 Progress III Deluxe - and this sounds at heart very similar. Differing pickup types and positions of course meant some differences but you could hear the same tonal character from the pickups/EQ of both instruments. I know most people are skint at the moment (myself included !) but I thought i'd have had some more trade offers by now .
  21. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1331812032' post='1579198'] That said, they have tightened up the photography now. At one time you got seemingly random shots of the Bass, now they seem to always show tight shots of the headstock, neck, body, bridge, rear neck joint and back. [/quote] I find they have over large pics instead of actual written content - and subsequent mini shots don't really show anything more than the main image does. There was on a couple of months ago of an amp, no pics of the back connections but about 4 of the control panel from slightly differing angles. The magazine does appear to be more commercial (more advertising i'm sure) than previously but that may be unavoidable for them to pay the bills. Incidentally - my subscription expired this months and I won't be renewing it - would rather pick it up from WHSmith and flick through to see if it's worth getting.
  22. Manufacturers that 'relic instruments must know the trick to this one.
