[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1371237616' post='2111701'] I honestly can't remember. Can we have an option for... ...an option for... ... ...what did I come in here for again? [/quote] Genuinely this. I can't bloody remember at all how I found this site/forum.

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1371235233' post='2111646'] Yeah I know. More than 4 strings. What are they thinking of? [/quote] And one hasn't got any frets! What's that all about?!?!?!?!?!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1371231603' post='2111563'] I know, green's disgusting on a guitar innit. [/quote] Look much better in red, with a different bridge, meatier looking pickups...actually a lot of things. :/

It's not really comparing like with like. There's, to my knowledge, a very limited number of authorised fEARFUL builders in the UK and essentially they are DIY cabs. Barefaced are the finished thing. I thought about building a fEARFUL, but when you work out the price of materials and factor in the that you have to spend the time building it the Barefaced look very very attractive on price

Guy Pratt likes his new bass...result I say.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1371088305' post='2109736'] Sorry mate I think you've come to the wrong place, 'The Smiths' live a few doors down from here. [/quote] Didn't like them either, for exactly the same reason...so the Stone Roses weren't even original at being unlikeable.

I've got 3 young boys and they've never touched my basses, they know better.

Didn't get them at the time, still don't now. I suppose if you're into catchy guitar riffs being spoilt by someone whining over the top of them....

Punk was like a large reorganisation of a huge and overly...something, company. It was like a fresh broom, sweeping away all the tired and whatever stuff.

I have nothing against the use of capo's per se. It's when I'm being told, insistently, that x chord is being played when it clearly isn't. Piss and boil etc etc.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1370943851' post='2107663'] Oh that's clever, i see what you did there..... [/quote] I missed it to start with :/

Guitarists... put a capo on say the 3rd fret and play D shape, you're not playing a bloody D chord!!!!!! That's all.

Punk was musical art in its purest form. Unsullied by...whatever word it is I thought of just now and have instantly forgotten :/. Anyway, that's what it was, art.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1370803059' post='2105793'] How apt. [/quote] What do those two stand for then? You know...how and apt...as we're talking about 3 letter wot nots. Actually, I'll just get my light summer jacket now and be off.

IBTL Oh damn, that's a four letter thingy.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1370770006' post='2105217'] But.... if you see local bands the bass is more than likely going to be the weakest... either from a technical point of view or they don't know what the EQ section does or even what the notes are on the bass and what constitutes a scale or chord. [/quote] A statement that doesn't even come close to being a sweeping generalisation in that it is so wrong, it's actually embarrassing to read.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1370697137' post='2104527'] I answered an ad for a bass player and went along to audition. There was a few numbers for me to learn including some Lenny Kravitz and Foo Fighters stuff. I noticed the guitarist was playing the wrong chords in one song and I made the mistake of correcting him telling him it was E minor not major he needed to play. After the end they said to me "Well done! you really know your stuff, - why are you only playing the bass?" ....................Speechless!............................. [/quote] You're lucky he acknowledged you were you right. Last practice I attended with a covers band the guitarist/singer dropped the key half a step. Hence one would expect to just shift position...but no, apparently the B I was playing was all wrong, I should be playing a G. Hmmmm, really...coming from the man still struggling with Molly's Chambers...

Good welcome to thee.

Go for it if you want. Contrary to opinion you don't automatically deafen people by using an 810, the amp has a volume knob on it, you don't have to turn it all the way up.

Exactly the same for me when I bought my Rumble from Gear4Music. Likewise though, they were very good and sent on the correct lead the next day. Probably just goes to show though that they're brought in boxed and don't see the light of day until someone buys one.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1364853621' post='2031899'] To be fair it was from a pre-selected list of popular albums they regularly played; only one appearance by any artist allowed - and no greatest hits types. [/quote] If you were being cynical then, you may argue it's a bit of a stitch up?

Here they are : [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/vote/top-albums/"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/vote/top-albums/[/url]

I've noticed that Ibanez seem to have reduced their prices. An SR300 is about the same price as I paid for mine 3 years ago after it'd gone up to £280 last year. Yamaha seem to be keeping a firm grip on prices as well.

Not heard anything that's done anything for me I'm afraid.

I can't play guitar so don't ask me
