I have an older Rockbass Corvette (not $$ though). It's a great instrument and has become my go to bass. Here's the but I bought mine S/H (brand new mine would have cost £350 approx). If I had £600 to spend I'd definitely go for a S/H German Warwick. There's nothing at all wrong with the bass I've got...well, apart from the colour ...but if I'd had more money available at the time I would have probably bought something else. But I didn't and in some ways glad I didn't.

Got 2 basses, play both - but one more than the other.

I'm doomed then. I look a complete fool in a hat.

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1316632706' post='1380755'] Indeed. It's a free site, I think we should all be grateful. FFS, it's not rocket science to use and I for one think it is LOADS better - one of the best platforms out there. Thank you :-) [/quote] Exactly. Nail and head thingy

You could quite possibly have the HSE knocking on your door If that is they're wearing ear defenders.

Excellent, well done that man. Well, I assume you're a man. Apologies if you're not, terribly sexist of me.

I see Spidey is back

Um, well, it's not pixallated but I can't see any hats. I can make out a bass, the faint outline of whom I assume is you Dave but it's all a little obscured by a sort of green mist.

You don't look pixellated to me Dave. There are others who seem to have lost there avatars completely though.

Probably languishing in the pit of disspear I've only been playing for 2 years, I now refer to my late teens/early 20's as the period when I owned a bass I've realised that I knew absolutely nothing and was terrible. So I've improved My playing is regularly described as 'solid'. That'll do me.

Is it just me, or has Spidey completely disappeared now?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1316471688' post='1378637'] Waaa --- HAY!!! I'd like to thank my parents, my agent, my wife and family, Bob & Ted and all at Silverstone, my next door neighbour's cat ... blub blub blub. [/quote] Agent!? That's just showing off.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316380913' post='1377406'] Every time someone 'likes' a post (I just liked one of yours) it'll add 1 to that box. Not sure why, but it'll be interesting to see what happens with it, anyway. That box is a live feed to tell you that someone posted whilst you were typing. [/quote] Thanks Ped

On my profile I've got a big green box that's got '1' and 'neutral' in it. What does it mean? And perhaps 'Site news/issues' should be hidden, the outside world will think we're all technical idiots if they read this thread AAAGGGHHH! a pop up box that says '1 reply added'. Added where? To what? I'm off to have a lie down.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316368217' post='1377023'] Plus he's been frozen in the gayest pose [/quote] Thought exactly the same, he looks more camp than a row of tents. Sorry Jack

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1316303812' post='1376468'] Oh oh.... reputation system. That'll modify some behaviour. Or will it? [/quote] Reputation system? Where? I must have missed it Looks good, clean and tidy and all. My only concern is that non-members seem to be able to access our profiles and info that was previously not visible to the outside world.

There are a couple of songs being suggested that would sound better using those very low notes so I thought about stringing my Ibanez SR300 to BEAD. Are there any factors I need to look out for/consider? Maybe things like action, set up etc. Also with the Ibbies skinny neck are there any issues here? I've never strung to BEAD before so was just wondering if there was anything I should sort of, look out for as it were.

I don't buy a lot of gear and I don't practice enough My gear isn't expensive, I've bought what I felt was the best for what I do. Others would say I'd have been better off buying x instead of y, but it does what I ask of it, maybe not perfect but it'll do. I genuinely don't actually like buying expensive gear, partly because I don't regard myself as a good enough player, partly because I don't really have the money and as such I'd feel rather guilty and self indulgent - especially as I have 3 young kids. I feel quite fortunate enough to have what I've got and although I don't practice enough I do enjoy playing and being in a band.
