[/quote] Well, try it but if I don't like it you'll have to change it I like the body shape looks the business. The black one on this thread looks like the neck doesn't go very far into the body or am I not looking at it correctly? I must admit to preferring minimal and or sleek design or industrial. Nice review of the Rockbass always wondered what they were like.

You should be rightly chuffed with the new site Stuart. I had no problems at all with it, it looks great as well. I found your bio quite interesting. I remember those Axe ads and almost bought one. My first bass came from a small music shop that was in Litchdon Street (just off the square in Barnstaple?), can't remember what it was called. I remember the bass but not the shop's name that is. Transcriptions are good as well. It's always a treat to find transcripts you can rely on as accurate. Cheers Rich

Gold. Hmmmmmm. I'll need convincing.

In general, I have to say it really doesn't bother me. However, if it's causing the running of the site a problem that's something for admin et al to look into. In fact some of them are quite attractive. [quote name='silddx' post='887674' date='Jul 6 2010, 07:14 PM']Most of the room is taken with the profile stuff on the left. There aren't many sigs I've seen that go lower than that with a one line post. Except mine [/quote] Now, to you Nigel. Put it back how it was, if you can please. That just looks untidy. And your 'some leads and fingers' (or whatever it was) and Brum Brum, are missing, so you need to sort that out as well.

[quote name='sykilz' post='887500' date='Jul 6 2010, 04:37 PM']Basses headstocks just look better due to being less cluttered but having nice big bits of metal on them. I`ve got an Ibanez SR series and the whole thing is just gorgeous for a " cheap " bass, the Ibanez guitars just ain`t as damn pretty. I do love a big top horn too.....oooooeeerrr misses!!!![attachment=53689:ibanez_002.jpg][/quote] Oooooh that's lovely. I've got a sparkly red one. [quote name='tino' post='887533' date='Jul 6 2010, 05:10 PM']Simply NO.....SORRY I have many many many many in fact toooo many and hanging on a wall the telecaster or archtop look significantly more attractive....but maybe thats my feminine side All hate mail on a postcard to....... [/quote] Ah well telecasters are my weakness as well

Brilliant thread EH. I've been following it for a while now. The furthest I would have got is to have drawn out a shoddy outline of a bass I might like (although it wouldn't have looked even close) and then thrown said drawing in the back of a draw with my 'dreams' and to-do list. All power to your power tools.

If I walk into a music store I tend to find myself bypassing the guitars - unless there is something truly eye catching - and stand gawping at the basses. I know it's a generalisation thing but on the whole the long neck et al make it look a more elegant instrument, to me. Put a strat next to a P-bass, I go for the P-bass (although I do have a soft spot for Tele's, but not Tele basses, damn it I've screwed me own argument ). And who voted no? I'll find out and have you thrown to the mods

I've just placed my bass in the living room, resting against the sofa. Proportionally and generally aesthetically I find it very pleasing to my eye. And in general I think I find bass guitars more pleasing to the eye than guitars. Basses seem more balanced, more elegant. I find guitars stubby and sometimes maybe cluttered (not quite the word I was looking for but close as I could get). This isn't an anti-guitar thread more a question of design. EDIT: I do apologise for the poor English [b]'Proportionally and generally aesthetically'[/b] that's not very good is it now

Great stuff mate.

I'm almost one year old on Basschat, I'm so excited. I'm not expecting a present or anything, just told to shut up and stop being so annoying. It's good to see so many new faces. Personally I think people have heard of Ped's plans for a Basschat shop! Basschat's a great place, if it wasn't for this bit of cyberspace my bass would probably just collect dust, it really has kept me interested in playing. Although my playing would be better if I spent less time on here Lots of great people on here new and old.

That was dead cool, I really liked it.

When they sound or look like they need changing.

I quite like her material, she's miles ahead, IMO, of some more hyped artists. All the best to her I say.

Middle I suppose, but it's not something I've really focused on. Generally just try and make it all sound right. It could be the case I change half way through a song maybe. I am nowhere near using 3rd or even 4th fingers, I just tend to tuck them up out of the way to make them look tidy.

All the best, and have a good time

I was tempted to buy a Vintage, a clone of a Warwick. It looked good but I only got as far as picking it up. It weighed as much as a small planet.

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='884452' date='Jul 2 2010, 11:20 PM']It was me..... Woohoo... Sig updated [/quote] Excellent, well done, you lucky devil you.

Give us another clue. It can't be yourself as you'd have put it in your sig surely. EDIT: Congratulations, and yes I am jealous

Hmm, well considering the abundance of bass players and lack of bands perhaps we should consider banding together to form bass only(ish) bands, in a Clarke, Wooton and Miller style

I like. Spot on mate.

[quote name='Colledge' post='883506' date='Jul 1 2010, 10:42 PM']if you can't get the mixer to work, a litte thing i used to do is use some normal ipod headphones for music and some bigger home headphones over the top for bass. It worked surprisingly well.[/quote] This is what I tend to do. Or my amp has a CD input, so I can do it that way as well.

[quote name='dumelow' post='883797' date='Jul 2 2010, 10:59 AM']Am I right in thinking that you can connect to your computer/laptop with the usb cable, and without having to use cubase, just play through your pc speakers?[/quote] Yes. I've used mine as an interface a couple of times but always used Garageband on my Mac, as it's got loads of drum patterns to practice with. I think I may have a fault somewhere though as I get a buzzing noise and feedback warnings repeatedly. I've never used cubase because I haven't the faintest idea how it works, to say it's a complete mystery would be an understatement.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='884041' date='Jul 2 2010, 03:14 PM']I'm hoping they do a 1x12...[/quote] And maybe weighs a little less, for the slightly built bassist.

Steve[/quote] If I get some time I might take you up on your kind offer. I'm up near Barnstaple. Thanks Rich
