[quote name='Tinman' post='14242' date='Jun 8 2007, 03:53 PM']Yeah, it's now 12 weeks and 1 day which equals 85 days which equals 2040 hours which equals 122400 minutes which equals 7,344000 seconds (not that I'm counting or anything) *must find something else to think about*[/quote] and after meeting pete, I know that this is really beating him up!

[quote name='Mrs Tinman' post='14413' date='Jun 8 2007, 10:53 PM']Yessssssssssss I have one here like that "ooooh, flashing lights" "oooh, big 'peakers" "what happens if I press this?" "what does that do?" "what happens if I pull that?" "And where's my potty???????????????????" Men!!!!!!!!! [/quote] But does mr tinman know?

Hello there, Love the avatar, its great!

No ther is no urgency, just thought I would bump it! Good to see we are still all there with it. Its difficult being in the far corner of kent and out the way!

Yes, I did see that. Was a bit pricy for me and I would still love the 3a.

[quote name='christabel' post='9606' date='May 30 2007, 11:08 PM']Blimey! I 2. Simon73 - thank you very much for the birthday greeting (you must be a very nice young man!) and.... 3. I took all your advice on board and spent a few hours on Saturday afternoon checking out various amps. I settled on an Eden Nemesis N8 because it sounded the best when I hooked my bass up to it. I'm sure some of you will knock my choice (that's fine btw) but for me, right now, this is the amp for me. Kathryn[/quote] My god, young man, thankyou! Have not been called that in a while. Was accused of going through a mid life crisis at work today at the ripe old age of 34! (The cheek of it). As for your amp choice, good on you, you have tried something and found what you like, thats what it's all about. Have fun with it. Simon

I use AKG, not sure which model they are but I do like them!

Hello and welcome!

hello and welcome!

Level 42-Mark King today!

I have played with this Bass all evening and I love it, its a great bass and I find it really easy to play. The sound is lovely. (just what I was after). Met the tinmans today and they they are a great couple. Spent an hour with them, lovely people.

So this thread has been going sometime and there has been great debate if it should be held in east or the west of surrey (or any where else)! ok does that matter, I don't live in surrey and can travel almost any where, I was looking at the midlands one (Like Nick was) and we need to stop debating it and come to some decisions if it will ever come together, so date, place and time is needed.

+1 on eloms recomendations, there is not a lot more I could add about the guitar. Just try some out, would agree with the bronco but do try out some full size ones, you may be suprised. My westone thunder is only has 20 frets and the fretboard is only 24 inches long, and you can pick them up for around the £100 to £150 mark, (and thats for an active version). there are many other options you will be recommended, when shopping for it, don't be presurised in to what the salesman pushes on you, just try a few things out. As for the amps I would reccomend Roland, Ashdown or fender. Have a look around and think about what your buying, as elom said get whats right for you. best of luck Simon

I decided to buy it in the end, will be collecting it this tuesday and I realise that its a really good bass for the money!

Hi there will, and welcome

I normally buy Rotosound Swing bass 66 (40,60,80,100) but I have been trying out 35,55,70, 90 version. I think I like them!

Linda is a good bass player and that has nothing to do with her being a woman or pleasing to the eye!

8,387,618 posts (556637 per day) I can see dood has been busy! whats the maximum ammount of posts he could have!

I have finally decided not to go for one, seen a few other bits of kit I like but still think this is a good deal. Thanks for your help!

[quote name='paul, the' post='8181' date='May 28 2007, 05:23 PM']I recently realised I knew nothing about my bass, so I thought I would do some research. I think my bass would be a contender if anyone knew they existed. --- It's a 1997 Californian Series Precision special. The model was only made for two years between 1996 and 1998 and features passive vintage p/j pickups and a jazz neck. So it has a vintage (RI) tone, with a little extra versatility and ease of playability. And it receives healthy reviews on harmony-central [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Bass/product/Fender/California+Precision+Bass+Special/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...ss+Special/10/1[/url] This one isn't mine, but I hope to spray it this colour or dark brown. Would putting covers on detract from its value? Does anyone know where you can get those spots/inserts shown on the first picture to cover the drill holes for the bridge cover? Cheers, Paul.[/quote] Thats a really nice bass Paul. I think it will be a vintage bass one day!

[quote name='iansmith' post='9046' date='May 30 2007, 10:45 AM']Thanks folks! Sorry I wasn't who you thought I might have been, Linz (you mean there might be someone else similar to me out there in Bassland? now there's a scary thought!). Just as a ps to my original introduction - my Ampeg Dan Armstrong clear plexi bass arrived yesterday - and it's gorgeous! I can see why it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm head over heels in love, I think!!![/quote] My brother in laws name is Ian Smith and he plays the Bass! Linz is my wife, so you can imagined what she thought! (put 2+2 and got 7).
