I still think the best one I ever played was the Charvel 3b, which was pretty thunderous - and should be relatively easy to find, if you don't mind the pointy headstock.

Cheers guys, much appreciated

I'd recommend a Kingbass. Sorry, I couldn't help it We've had a few PJ threads, and I think one theme is common - they're a combination which doesn't often work. Might be worth searching one out and seeing what recommendations were made.

Stance, I've flagged this with the Admins to review - they should get back to you shortly.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1374421554' post='2148519'] You could go all out and get a Bongo. It will blow your mind. [/quote] Having recently added a Bongo to the collection, I'll second that - if you can stomach the looks, of course!

I learnt on an Encore P-bass, traditional black with white scratch plate. I bought in from a little music shop in Piece Hall, Halifax. It was made out of some form of exotic matter, more dense than normal matter. I think the case alone was the on the verge of collapsing behind an event horizon, and the combination was difficult to lug about as a young lad! I sold it on to a friend. Good to learn on, but complete toss as an instrument - I used the proceeds to buy a much lighter Aria Pro II Magma, which looked a lot more rock and roll! Bright red, maple fretboard and a vaguely pointy headstock, lovely bass!

I had an old MTD Kingston Heir and absolutely loved it. Great construction, super neck, and some lovely tones - I only moved it on as I simply couldn't make five strings work for me (a mistake I keep repeating).

We thought it about time to put a demo together, given the line-up changes over time. So, for the investment of a few hours this weekend, we crafted the below - nothing spectacular, just some good old fashioned rock. Nothing complicated, just some good energy and some good fun. Couple of bloopers I can spot, bass is buried so you only get a sniff ofa single fill (I don't know why I bother!), but pretty happy with it overall!

[quote name='Pukie' timestamp='1374495839' post='2149306'] Would that be the Drang Gallery in Padstow? Was in there a few weeks back, they had a black one and a red/green one. IMHO the cases looked better that the basses. Wondered [s]who would buy this rubbish [/s]what the market id for this sort of thing, its not a good bass (for £10k anyway) and if there are 125 of four different models it's hardly exclusive collectable art. Strangely though, the day before I saw them I was thinking to myself..if only I could get Banksy to paint my bass I could probably write my own cheque. [/quote] I'd always assumed, as when galleries often put such up for sale, that it's another means of formating a donation.

[quote name='Bassmonkey' timestamp='1374140873' post='2145653'] Went to see Retox last night at Leeds' Brudenell Social Club. They were good (hardcore screamers playing at breakneck speed) but the 2 supports were pretty unusual. First Cattle - a bassist, 2 drummers and a singer. The bass was distorted as hell but sounded immense. Reeling from that, the next up were Zeus - 2 piece Italian bassist and drummer. Again, all sorts of effects and distortions but strangely compelling. Really tight and bloody loud. Who needs a guitarist eh? [/quote] You should also check out Castrovalva - their bassist, Ant, is on here somewhere, and they make a big racket.

Welcome in

I'll be honest, I barely crank the volume at home. I normally work with my headphones, and then save the volume stuff for the odd occasion or when jamming with friends. I'll admit, my neighbours are now a little elderly, so their hearing has more issues than just my playing - but it's still simply a case of being a little sensitive to what's going on. If they have friends over or are taking a nap outside, it might not be the time to discover if the amp really goes go up to 11!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1373572261' post='2139246'] If I'd bought it I'd be posting the pics to the Ric Resources site straight off asking how that sort of deterioration in a couple of years could happen and what Ric were going to do about it. Didn't realise the wood was that dark underneath, I thought they'd all look 'mapleglo' without the top coat. [/quote] I'm sure they'd treat such posts with all due care and consideration Still catching up on the story, assuming it's [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/new-ric-slightly-broken-997965/"]this[/url] bass, in which case that thread has begun to go the way we might expect - whether the internet can agree if it is a Ric QC issue or not, it's still obviously an issue for the owner, which I think has been rather lost on some! He seems happy with it. I'd be inclined to get the rest of the paint removed, or maybe just have a real novelty bass and let time and nature take their course on the rest of the finish.

Can't rehearse, can't do the gig. That's been my experience, and I would be inclined to say that - for all being a nice guy and having some good vox might tick boxes - the inability or unwillingness to rehearse should be a deal-breaker. Still, willing to be proven wrong - but just go into it with your eyes open

New guitarist? I thought I kept up to pace with things in the Terrortones, but obviously not!

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1372892453' post='2131450'] How long do we give it before a certain poster pops up with yet another account name claiming to have bought one and raving about it? [/quote] If you're reading this, Larry, can you start your assault on our characters with a review, thanks?

Yup. Had no issues moving from SR4 to SR5, spacing felt fine.
