  1. Cheers Tom, hope you enjoy the Fender!
  2. [quote name='Stan_da_man' post='598627' date='Sep 14 2009, 08:11 PM']This might be unsuccessful but here goes... I'm looking for a 4 string Jazz bass but would like to trade one of my basses. The bass would need to be in a good condition though! I can offer you: Ibanez K5 with ACG EQ 02 preamp (very good condition, just a bit of buckle rash on the back of the bass) OR Tokai MIJ Precision (2007) with Fender alnico pups (mint condition) OR Steinberger Synapse (very good condition) PM'D I am in Coventry.

  3. I had this bass once, and just to re-enforce what Theo has said, it does have some scuffs, but this does not effect the sound of the bass. Very versatile, and very very punchy!
  4. Hello all, recently acquired this as a trade from Dosi Y'Anarchy (Theo) This is the bass: [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0135760306"]http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0135760306[/url] it also has a Leo Quan Badass II Bridge. i kinda withdrew this bass, because i accidentily advertised it wrong, so withdrew it so i didnt have people going bonkers :-S. Now though i need the money to fund another purchase, so its back up. Lovely bass, very slimline jazz neck and very punchy on the Pbass P-up! The pickups are US components. The J pickup is a "noiseless" pickup. This is the mistake i made before! It also has an active 3EQ. Very versatile! I am willing to post without the hardcase, usually costs around £20. It will be fully protected, and is usually with you in 2 days. Theres a thread going on in this forum about how much these are worth, seems £360 is about fair. Pictures below
  5. Last bump for any more interest
  6. [quote name='budget bassist' post='551864' date='Jul 26 2009, 04:15 PM']buckle rash on the front? what on earth had he been doing with it? Awesome basses though, good luck with the sale [/quote] I was quite shocked/impressed when i saw it too! haha apart from that though, yeh, lovely bass. Damn my weak wrists (im waiting for a punch line here, any takers )
  7. All PMs now replied to, still here
  8. Lovely looking bass. Shame i have no call for fretless when i play. have a bump on me
  9. [quote name='warwickhunt' post='550916' date='Jul 25 2009, 10:13 AM']This might help. If you want the rest of the images up just give me a shout! [/quote] Cheers john, still havent worked out how to get pics up on here! Had few PMs, nothing really gabbed my interest though. Any Ps or Js about? would be willing to put money towards a "upward trade" if necessary
  10. Thank you for the offer, but not really my thing. Ideally looking for something a little more modern with a j or p style neck. thanks again though
  11. I have recently bought a warwick corvette $$, but im struggling to play it as the neck is too thick, and it irritates an old injury. Its in perfect working order,and has a amazing variety of tones. The bass is not in mint condition however, the person who had it before hadnt looked after it, so it does have buckle rash on the back, and a little on the front. These will be shown in the photos. Obviously this doesnt effect the playability, but best to be straight up from the start!! Looking for a trade. Nothing in particular, so make me some offers I dont know how to put pictures on here, but if you are interested, send me a PM with your email and i can email the pictures to you then. Thanks!
  12. Good work!! sounds wicked. Can appreciate how you still kept a groove in the songs even though they are "solo" pieces. Really really good. I think anyway!
  13. cheers for all the advice. all much appreciated. I think i will try and undestand all the notes and modes more fully, because i agree, then i should be able to work out what i can, without having to remember specific shapes. Can only benefit my playing i guess!
  14. [quote name='wulf' post='534436' date='Jul 7 2009, 09:46 AM']If you're covering a song, your starting point for the bass notes are the ones the original bassist used. If you're improvising, keep that original bass part in mind and use it as a springboard. The technique is know as [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostinato"]ostinato[/url] (from an Italian word meaning stubborn). The bass (or it can be another instrument) stubbornly sticks to a particular riff (or "figure" if you want to talk in classical music terms) while other instruments define the harmonic movement of the song. Relatively simple chords can sound more complex because they are in tension against the ostinato pattern. Wulf[/quote] learn something new every day nice one!
  15. good work! My bass teacher teaches university, so although im not "officialy" doing gradings, im working through the excercises/songs/questions /sightreadings etc that he uses with them. Its tough going!
  16. [quote name='Doddy' post='541329' date='Jul 15 2009, 02:34 PM']Have you just learned the 'shapes' or do you understand how the scales and modes 'work'? Try moving them over the fingerboard using different positions and fingerings rather than sticking to one 'shape'-this is so much easier if you know the notes involved. Once you can do that fluidly,try expanding them over two octaves. After a while you will become comfortable playing over the whole instrument rather than being hindered by using well rehearsed 'shapes'.[/quote] yeh i do understand why the modes are the way they are, and what notes make up different modes. i just wanted some excercises, that will help reinforce these notes in my head. So that i can remember them all, all the time, without having to refer back, like i sometimes have to do now. Thanks though, definitly agree that you need to understand what your doing rather than just learn it and be able to spew it out parrot fashion!
  17. [quote name='Major-Minor' post='541616' date='Jul 15 2009, 09:02 PM']Jaco used to think in triads all the time, and if its good enough for him ....... The Major[/quote] cant argue with that again though, thanks. The more different excercises i have, the less likely i am to get bored with them i guess.
  18. [quote name='chris_b' post='541383' date='Jul 15 2009, 03:56 PM']Have a look at Adam Nitti's lessons. [url="http://www.adamnitti.com/lessons.shtml"]http://www.adamnitti.com/lessons.shtml[/url][/quote] nice link! lots of helpful stuff here. thanks!
  19. [quote name='wulf' post='541288' date='Jul 15 2009, 01:42 PM']An exercise (which you'll find in a lot of books) is to play scales using intervals. You play each note but between them add in a particular number of steps above. For example, rather than playing C D E F G A B C, you could play it with thirds: C E D F E G F A G B C (and then in reverse coming down). It improves your finger dexterity and gives you a good feeling for the sound of the available intervals. With that example, you will be playing a combination of major and minor thirds. Wulf[/quote] like that! thanks
