[quote name='Rettoglide1' post='834446' date='May 11 2010, 05:36 PM']And this guy is being compared to Mark King.....what a joke![/quote] It might come as a great shock, but not everyone likes Kinger as much as you do. This doesn't make you right and them wrong, or vice versa for that matter. There really is nothing quite as pointless as arguing that bassist A is 'better than' bassist B.

[quote name='OldGit' post='832239' date='May 9 2010, 02:43 PM']Alan's only 50? Amazing! Great picture [/quote] I reckon Alan looks about 40, never mind 50 was a great night, Al played a song on every instrument in the band he even played sitar on one. It was interesting to hear my bass in someone else's hands. We clubbed together and bought him a trumpet.

From our sax/keys/everything player's 50th birthday party gig-ette last night. Blurry, but I kinda like it actually. Yay, I'm officially a Bass Player In A Hat [attachment=49296:meeeee.jpg]

Le Freak. I'm in heaven

I'm ampGAS free too. I'd like to try a couple of variations, different cabs really, but it's just vague curiosity. My Genz/Eden combination is doing the biz for me at the moment.

[quote name='gelfin' post='828021' date='May 4 2010, 11:08 PM']Anyone remember the POINT?[/quote] Yes, very fondly. I enjoyed playing there. It was a disgrace the way it was killed off

Brilliant news! Our gig there earlier this year didn't happen due to all the legal nonsense... hopefully we can reschedule it now!

[quote name='Wil' post='819419' date='Apr 26 2010, 02:25 PM']Brycie left for finnbass around the time the forums changed to Basstalk/Basschat. He's still in Hush I think.[/quote] Yeah, Chris is a nice guy. He bought my Toby 6 and I bought his Hartke amp. I wish he was still here.

17 basses in total, still got 10. 13 amps (incuding combos) and 10 cabs in total, still got 3 amps and 3 cabs. Of course, as we know the [i]real[/i] dreaded question is: "So why have you got so many basses when you've only got one pair of hands?". Experience has taught me that the best answer to this question is NOT "Well, why have you got so many skirts when you've only got one fat arse to wrap them round?"

Well, I thought mine was going to be the first phaser to grace this thread...[quote name='Bassmouseman' post='760492' date='Mar 1 2010, 11:25 AM']MXR Phase 90 - Borrowed from a friend[/quote]...but no. Apart from aforementioned Ibanez PH7 phaser, I also use an Ibanez PD7 distortion, Boss CEB3 chorus and Yamaha octaver. All used very sparingly.

I am going to start a luthiery business purely so I can produce a bass called a OverWoodDingWalembic :lol:

My very first gear: 1964 Höfner Artist 2, purchased for £20 off my metalwork teacher. Still got it. homemade 30w amp, made with help from my physics teacher. no-name 1x15" cab Replaced by my first half-decent gear: Columbus Jazz Phoenix PHA-1 100w amp Custom Sound 4x12" cab

God, is this album [i]really[/i] 34 years old??

[quote name='bassatnight' post='815766' date='Apr 23 2010, 08:49 AM']I am not selling it not sure why everyone feels seeing a picture will improve thier judgements!! It could be a picture of an empty shell! lol[/quote] What makes you think we need the pics to help improve our judgment? We're just nosy bastards, that's all And we like lusting after bass p0rn. The T3 is a modern classic.

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='815983' date='Apr 23 2010, 11:31 AM']It's a lot easier to get a good sound out of a bass that plays well and sounds bad than to get a bass that sounds amazing and plays like a dog to play better.[/quote] If it feels nice to play, has a decent neck and good action and blah blah, then go for it. New pickups don't have to cost the earth, and like neep says, if you find it doesn't work out you can always flog the new pups on and minimise your costs. And the best of luck -- looks like an interesting project.

Hell yes* C'mon you Bristol massive, it's only 46 miles. No distance at all, in fact my daily commute is further than that. We have some amazing kit between us, it could be a cracking day Only thing is...

Going to shift this to the Amp section. I've always found Eden to be very accommodating. Good customer service. The user forum is helpful too.
