  1. Used the credit card and it only seems to wobble around where the D string is on that fret
  2. Fantastic, I'll get one ordered and give it a bash. Thanks Pete
  3. I have a bass that has an annoying buzz on the 5th fret of the D string. Its only on that string so I've ruled out the truss rod and the height of the strings as it doesn't do it on any of the other strings anywhere. It only does it when playing the 5th fret of the D string and very, very slightly on the 4th fret but only if I play really hard. I was thinking a raised section of the fret itself but it looks to be seated properly and it was meant to have had a fret dressing before I bought it. An unlevel fret is all that I can think that would be wrong with it and if it is then would something like [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-Steel-Guitar-Fret-Rocker-Laser-Cut-Luthier-/221112995571?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item337b5c8ef3"]this[/url] be suitable? I have no problems with setting up and modifying my own basses so am happy to do whatever work needs done on it myself - I've just never owned a bass that had this problem. Alternatively, could it be something else?

  5. This bass began life as 2 basses -a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz and a MIM Fender Jazz. The neck was removed from the Geddy, along with the Badass and a Mex Fender Jazz bass neck and BBOT bridge installed in their place. A black scratchplate was installed in place of the white one which I think improves the look of it. The fit of the neck is nice and tight and overall condition is very good, just a couple of small chips but nothing unusual for a bass of its age. It plays very well and for all intents and purposes sounds like a Geddy. A Mex Jazz goes for anywhere between £300-350 and a Geddy £600-650 so I think £420 posted to mainland UK seems about right The bass will be posted in a case with the original white scratchplate. The latches on the case don't click or whatever to tell you they're closed properly so we'll call the case a freeby purely to post the bass in. I'm sure its fine but don't want to take the chance Trades would be either a fretless or MIM Fender P Bass Deluxe ( a green FSR like I already have in my sig would be ideal ) And now the pics
  6. I've lasted 3 and a half months without wanting to sell mine so far and hope that I never will. I read something interesting today over onTalkbs - the neck on these was a sort of prototype before production of the Geddy Lee moved to Mexico. Whether true or not its still interesting thoery
  7. I've never got this - go into your "My Ebay", click the "more options" at the right hand side of your listing and then click "end listing" Ta Da Quicker than editing it with a silly price
  8. They were neck and neck with the Chilis until Under the Bridge then it was game over. So unfortunate as MIke Patton is vastly superior a singer to Anthony Keidis. Loved Jim Martin on guitar as well I still love FNM and listen to them regularly. Here's a Chuck Mosley tune sung by MIke and one of my earliest memories of FNM from Expo 92 or something like that [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8iukAh9wl0[/media]

  10. Depending on what I have with me I'll either play octaves but using thumb and index finger to play two notes at once, I sometimes use a pick and play root - firth - octave chords or use a Boss OC-2
  11. Steve Moore is a really nice guy. I've spoken to him on Facepalm and was really surprised that the took the time out to reply to something I'd asked him. Makes something that is so simple to play look so complicated
  12. After skimming through this the band sound like a bunch of C You Next Tuesdays I was once kicked out of a band when I was 17 and it took me a very long time to become entirely comfortable with another band. The reason for kicking me out: I played too much, the track: Sit Down by James. To this day I refuse to play that song. The guy who kicked me out was one of these singer/songwriter w@nkers who has gone on to star in no such less hit concerts as " helpout a brother, I'm sh!te" and "I've no talent, get me out of here". In fact, I can't remember his name.Possibly the Artist Formerly Known as Pish. What a Cock
  13. None other than Eric Clapton in 1988 as a spotty 13 year old. Eric, Nathan East, Greg Phillinganes, Steve Ferrone, Ray Cooper, Phil Palmer, Tessa Niles and Katie Kissoon.What a fantastic group of musicians that was.

  15. [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1346219170' post='1786553'] Weren't "Lemmy" and "Sting" their nick names long before they were performers? [/quote] Gordon used to wear a black and yellow striped jumper that made him look like a wasp and Ian was always asking to borrow stuff - usually drink and drugs - and was how he'd say "lend me a ....." so "lend me" became Lemmy
  16. I'm Delbert T Wildebeast
  17. One of these was my first bass. £99 from the Littlewoods catalogue in 1987.
  18. A shameless plug but I'm selling a Gallien Krueger MBS-III combo. Its tiny so it'll sit in the corner or your room out of the way. Its 100w on its own or you can buy the matching cab to give the full 150W or you can plug it into the cab(s) of your choice by disconnecting the internal speaker. Even comes with its own bag for carrying around.
  19. I'd be interested in any trades for effects of the synth variety such as the EHX Bass MIcrosynth or the Markbass one or if you have a decent keyboard synth that you're looking to trade. Otherwise feel free to try me forother trades or offer me a sensible amount close to the asking price.
  20. That was once my cab and if you lived closer I'd buy it back
  21. Having a rethink now so only the Gallien combo for sale at the moment
  22. Wow, my camera really makes the combo look a lot worse than it is.
  23. I've decided to have a rethink and for now I am keeping my Hartke head and Ashdown cabs so I am now only selling my Gallien Combo. When this sells then I will probably offer my Hartke head for sale again. This is something that I didnl't realise how amazing it was until I bought one -a Gallien Krueger MBS-III combo. This little combo is not much bigger than the 12" speaker it houses. You can use this as a monitor, mount it on a microphone stand bracket (if you can find one), add a second 12" speaker or disconnect the internal speaker and plug it into the cab or cabs of your choice down to 4ohms. You can also disconnect the internal speaker and plug a set of headphones into it to practice with. This puts out something like 100w into its own internal speaker or 150w with another 8ohm cab. Like all GK stuff the rating appears to be a bit conservative and for the size this is one loud little combo This dinky little combo also comes with a Rockbag so you can carry it safely to gigs in the car or on the bus/tram/tube/whatever. It has two side pockets and a front one for cables and stuff. This also comes with a power cable. There are a few marks and it looks like its had a wee knock to the front left that I've tried to show in one of the pictures. These retail at about £550 without a gig bag so I'm going to offer this one for £350 collected or £360 posted. And now the piccies: And lastly, to give you an idea exactly how small this combo is, voila:
  24. I like a nice cup of tea with a piece of bread with jam on. In fact I'll be back in 5 minutes
