Getting into the 4003 myself, welcome to Basschat

I can only echo what has already been said. A very sad incident & my thoughts are naturally with friends & family

Yep, genuine

I would assume I don't vary lines but thinking about it, I guess I do. I practice lines a lot away from rehearsal playing along with recordings which helps.

Yes they do & you are looking at around £300 for a very pro refinish

A great trio & er, plus one on the sofa

There is no answer that fits all. It depends on if they are friends too (or maybe just some of them). I've had some messy band splits but a few yearrs down the line none of it really matters. I'm friends with most of my ex-band mates now. The phone call idea is ok but remember band member 1 may phone 3 and 4 whilst you are still on the phone to 2. You could email everyone together and then phone, that way you don't play favourites. You also need to decide if you are honouring any outstanding gigs etc. Good luck with whatever you decide

It's what puts me off Jazz basses. I used to get pain in my forearm from long term use of my old 75RI Jazz. I love the tone and look of Jazz basses but prefer a chunkier neck. I had wondered if the 60s RI had a thicker neck.

So it's Stoke Newington this weekend 24 Jan 2010, 19:00 07:00 PM - The Birdcage - Stoke Newington Be good to see any Basschatters there in what will be a very stripped down show

I like his belt. Genuinely :blush:

Double bass initially but with regular practice I'm better. However faster busier basslines will do it. Also the slimmer neck on my old 75ri Jazz used to make my forearm ache. I got rid of it

Well at least we don't have the snow or strikes holding up the post.

Stevie bought an Olp bass off me. Great comms, easy to deal with, decent guy. I hope you enjoy & I wouldn't hesitate to buy or sell with Stevie again

It just looks to me like the white one I had with a few bits of black tape put across it. Not that I find that wrong, just that's how it looks to me

I have 3 Hercules A frame stands & they more than suit me

Great effort, thanks for this. I found it really useful. A lot of tone from a little box! I think your style works well & fair play for using the same riffs rather than trying to show off. I found it very watchable [quote name='Le Chat Noir' post='718800' date='Jan 20 2010, 10:49 AM']Apologies for not trying it with a passive bass too...Perhaps sometime I'll do a second video![/quote] Yes please!

I go between finger style and plectrums but I always keep at the same length. I used to play down by my knees back when I was cool but these days it sits slightly lower than if I were sitting down. I'd have no issues changing mid set, you do what you have to do. Whatever works. [quote name='iamapirate' post='719128' date='Jan 20 2010, 03:28 PM']I'm 6 ft 3 so I can't really get my strap much lower than waist height. Anyway, sitting down and playing I actually find uncomfortable sometimes, but I always practise standing anyway.[/quote] You can. I'm 6'3" & you can buy extra long straps. However if you develop back problems in later life I've never heard of you!

You don't see many under £600 & it's usually £500 for a quick sale if you do. Assuming it's all in order you'd be crazy not to

Good to hear, pleased it went well

Welcome to Basschat. I quite like Talk Bass but it's a much better community here in my opinion

[quote name='OldGit' post='717356' date='Jan 18 2010, 11:36 PM']Also ask your band to play more quietly unless you were in final rehearsals for a gig.[/quote] Plus one. Hearing is no laughing matter. My Dad played in the 60s & his hearing went at the age of 47. He now has 2 hearing aids. It scares me

I emailed them yesterday & was impressed they replied today. I like the look of the Memphis one although that headstock is a bit too [i]rock[/i] for my tastes. Never seen one in real life though

[quote name='mrcrow' post='716781' date='Jan 18 2010, 04:56 PM'][url="http://www.musicground.com/"]is this any good[/url][/quote] Word on the street here is "no". Also the same for the German guy on EBay.

[quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='716546' date='Jan 18 2010, 01:18 PM']I really miss the Fender Bassman head and 2x15 cab that i had. What make is the resonator ? i could do with something like that.[/quote] Nobody has ever owned up to making that Resonator! It has a blank headstock. It was shipped from Houston, TX but I don't suppose it is USA made. Could be I suppose but I've always assumed it's from the Bluegrass Republic of China. They do pop up on EBay but not as common as they should be. It's a great bass and for the money it was an absolute steal

Vintage & Rare Guitars in Bath blew it for me a few years ago when I was asking about 51 P-basses and the guy was really snooty saying they didn't exist. I've seen some good stock since but that left a bad taste in my mouth. They are not the cheapest but they do have a good reputation. Equally not cheap but prone to 100% genuine stuff is [url="http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses.htm"]http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses.htm[/url] - but not a "shop" as such. You can go and try stuff if you are serious though. All by appointment. I've bought from him a couple of times
