why guitarists are "superior" to bassists
niceguyhomer replied to SiOfBass's topic in General Discussion
All I'll say is ...if you punch them, will they not bleed? -
Weird
-
I deliberately put mistakes in so people don't mistake me for a backing tape

I'll have 'em. PM sent -
...and replied to Tom. -
I tried a Peavey Grind 6er at Music Live and was astounded at the quality of the thing for the money, especially with the through-neck construction. Thing is with budget instruments is you have to watch the quality control - as Bassassin says, it's a lot better these days but trying before you buy is always the best advice. I'd be wary of mail-ordering anything 'budget' personally but with some things it's not always possible to try first.

Yep Hutton - that got me moist

Sorry Steve, maybe a ride on the Royal Daffodil or the Royal Iris up the river to New Brighton might help - all that fresh air and turdbergs

Schroeder 410R, 1400 watts @ 4ohms in excellent condition with nice plastic cover. Only had it a few weeks and it sounds fantastic BUT the truth is - at 85lbs, it's too heavy to lift on my own and we DI a lot more these days so I'd like something smaller & lighter. Read the rave reviews: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/Schroeder+Bass+Cabinets/410+Cabinet/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...10+Cabinet/10/1[/url] Specs here: [url="http://www.schroedercabinets.com/410.htm"]http://www.schroedercabinets.com/410.htm[/url] Solid as a rock and bloody loud. I paid another BCer £550 for it - you can have it for [b][color="#FF0000"]£480 [/color][/b] delivered within an hour's drive of Preston otherwise you pay the shipping. Swaps considered for lighter cab(s) but must be top stuff or a USA Jazz / Precision / Lakland

2007 innit? Sorry Matt -
Glad you moved the pup Matt - I never said anything when you got it but it looked a bit weird to me with pup closer to the neck.

[quote name='Hamster' post='39625' date='Jul 31 2007, 04:25 PM']Ummmmmmmmmmmmm........... Motown Nirvana As well as listening to those CD's, a fun film to watch is The Commitments. Hamster[/quote] Dave Finnegan (Mickah Wallace) sings with us from time to time if we're near Burnley where he lives. He's doing a tour of the UK at the moment but last time we played in Burnley, his lady asked us to play at his birthday (I think it's his 40th) coming soon I believe. Here's pic of him taken at our last gig at The Duck & Boot in Burnley when he last got up and sang. Pissed as a fart he was..

[quote name='alexclaber' post='39610' date='Jul 31 2007, 03:59 PM']Good set! How do you get on with Sex Machine - I've never heard anyone play it quite like the original? Alex[/quote] TBH Alex - I used to just do a simple groove that fitted but since I've been taking lessons and my technique's improved I more or less play the Bootsy version note for note. It is a pig to play but it just makes the song IMO

Been there and done that - great stuff wazz - very professional.
-
Oy wazz - I've been thinking about dropping one of John's preamps into my Ray - especially as it only costs £125 with the mid-sweep. D'ya reckon it's worth doing? How does it sound?

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='39581' date='Jul 31 2007, 04:16 PM']oh blimey Al, is that a 1 piece body on your sterling?! Phwoaaar. I did sell it (funnily enough, Cass Lewis almost bought it) but then I found one that was even rarer than a normal cutlass - one with a 3 bolt neck and there's only about 5 of them known [/quote] It is indeed a one piece body sir

OK - I'm whipping mine out too (love that natural 'Ray of yours CK - beautiful, bet it plays like a dream) My stirring Sterling

[quote name='Rayman' post='39421' date='Jul 31 2007, 11:20 AM']If anyone gets the chance to go and see Alans band " Nice Guy Eddie" do so, they're such a great band, cool as f*** and tight as a fishes arse (especially when it's their round at the bar). I'm not a soul man particularly, but I loved the set when I saw them. Give me that over some tosser spinning disks, every time.[/quote] Aw shucks - thanks Russ mate - you should come and see us again with our new drummer Zoe - she's astounding. Mike saw us a few weeks ago and couldn't get over how much better the band sounds with her beating the skins. She's a big girl too, dwarfs me!

Looks ok for the money BassManKev but the words "ace" and "pro" would make me run away faster than "shoot".
-
I've never used one but my mate mikeh has and he really likes 'em - why don't you send him a PM?
-
I would have recommended a Lakland Joe / DJ - they beat Fenders hands down IME but I didn't recommend one because in the first post you said you couldn't justify the USA Jazz price tag and the Lakkies cost more but they're definitely worth stretching your budget for.
-
I had a Marcus - lovely bass, sounds wonderful soloed but I found in a band setting, it just went missing in the mix. If I was buying a Jazz, I'd buy a Japanese Reissue.
-
PM mikeh on here - he does that.

Trades are the way to go at the moment with maybe a little money changing hands either way - unless of course you're slimming down your inventory or raising some cash. -
