    [quote name='elliswasp' post='753104' date='Feb 21 2010, 06:53 PM']When i get mine im having it in candy apple red with a maple neck i think that is just about the nicest combination ive ever heard of lol. Markus[/quote] Mine's in CAP (or it might be sparkle 'cause it does a bit) with rosewood neck. I thought maple would be better but I saw one in my LMS and wasn't that keen on it. Maybe it's just me. What I really wanted though was it in that electric blue they were doing it in with a maple neck, that was the dogs wotsits for me. I think they not do it anymore in blue

    It's to stop riff raff buying them.

    Would I? In a word No.

    I was listening to some Guns 'n' Roses this morning (first time for ages) and realised that all my favourite bits were the licks and solos done by Duff. Like the little bit at the end of the chorus to Paradise City, it's not complicated but I've always loved it, even before I started playing bass. Perhaps something subconsciously entered my small brain.

    Slappers? Bounce off? Follow through? I've never read such filth.

    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=66328&hl=bigredx"]BigRedX's basses[/url] I was right he's got a GusG3 5string and a 4 string. He is a self professed purveyor of the unusual.

    [quote name='discreet' post='752172' date='Feb 20 2010, 08:29 PM'][/quote] Doesn't BigRedX play something similar to that?

    On a bit of role aren't you silddx? I haven't seen the new BGM but I think I know what bass you are referring to. Personally I agree, why not buy a Steiny or Hohner headless, they don't get much smaller and they are very good instruments. £579 is very pricey considering what you can get a B2A for second hand.

    I think if you were to buy this you would have to be honest and say 'no it's not worth 2 or 3 times a MM, top Fender or Warwick or custom build but I'm buying it for kudos, because i like it, because I have the money and I'm being thoroughly self indulgent and opulent'. I haven't a clue who it would appeal to though at that price. Pro players aren't interested in basses to show off with, they want 'tools of the trade', something that plays well sounds good and is reliable.

    i'm completely biased against Riki's and for Warwicks. Don't understand the appeal of Riki's either aesthetically or sonically. I'd stick with the Fender if you want an all rounder and the Warwick if you want to go off on a tangent. It doesn't really matter though because we all now know that core tone is a load of crap.

    Steady on chaps, I've only just bought the copy with JPJ on the cover and now we're onto the next one which I probably won't see for another couple of weeks. Really. It's getting more and more difficult to find BGM in the newsagents where I live. It's migrated to next to the Tattoo mags, which are next to the smutty mags. It's becoming quite uncomfortable finding it lately.
  13. Marvin
    Bit late to the party but only picked up a copy today. Promised myself I wouldn't but glad I did. Brilliant issue. Maybe it's because I've been on here so much lately I'm understanding a lot more, but I didn't feel 'at arms length'. Thoroughly enjoyed the read especially the piece of Duff and JPJ. That article by that Mike Flynn bloke though really stank. That's going to get me a warning isn't it, it was a joke, honest. I really loved the look of Martin Petersen's workshop, with cat of course.

    [quote name='silddx' post='750078' date='Feb 18 2010, 06:51 PM']Marvin, thank you mate! I think it will take a while because people aren't familiar with the name so it's a bit of an unknown quantity. Thing is, it feels like a Fender but so much better than any Fender I've ever played. It's smoother, more organic, a remarkably well thought out instrument. The sounds are Fender-like but more sophisticated and subtle, the mid sweep is really something. Pat's done wonderful fretwork on what is the nicest Fender type neck I've ever played. Pat himself is a really nice guy too, really helpful.[/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' post='750120' date='Feb 18 2010, 07:46 PM']The more I look the more I want....dammit![/quote] How could you resist with a pitch like that?
  17. Marvin
    Have an early bump. Quick someone, you have got to buy this quality instrument. Otherwise Nigel might change his mind and put one of those Warwicks back up for sale and I'll get all sweaty and start thinking about parting with cash I simply haven't got. Good luck mate it's got to sell, it looks the business. Cheers Rich

    Welcome to basschat. Brilliant forum. Whereabouts in Devon are you? And what's your band I might be able to get to see you. I'm from Torrington, not currently in a band unfortunately. Cheers Rich

    [quote name='silddx' post='749007' date='Feb 17 2010, 09:53 PM']Kit, the singer/composer in one of my bands says "if anyone in the band f***s up, they look f***ing stupid. BUT, if the bass player in the band f***s up, they make the [b]whole band look f***ing stupid[/b]. It's my bass mantra now.[/quote] Nothing like putting the pressure on just one person.

    [quote name='BurritoBass' post='748816' date='Feb 17 2010, 07:14 PM']I've heard it said (not on these pages) that the [b]sign of a good bassist is only noticing him when he goes wrong[/b]. I always get favourable comments in the studio, "Oh I like what you've come up with there". Usually I've been playing it that way for six months[/quote] I'm truly brilliant. People always spot when I go wrong. Admittedly that is quite a lot.

    [quote name='JimBobTTD' post='692395' date='Dec 23 2009, 03:22 PM'] Here are my two Ibanez 5 strings - an old SR705 and an SR1205. I've upgraded the pickups in the SR1205 - the ones in there did not work well with the low B. I've got my eye out for an SR1206 as my next purchase. I love the Ibanez range - I also have an old PJ and I sold my SRX500 a few months back.[/quote] OMG, a truly beautiful spectacle.

    I wanted to be a tennis player but misjudged the number of strings that were required, and size of bat.

    More of a wish list than a GAS list A Warwick Corvette, a Hohner B2A to replace the one I sold many years ago, Epi EB3 ( for my Andy Fraser impressions ) and a Fender of some kind, just to say I had one, probably a Jazz. I know its Bass Guitars, but a really top notch rig
