    I think that's all for now. I count 32 so I must be nearly half way there - I'm still trying to sort out all of my pictures but I'll get some more up later.

    A black 4003 and a 1982 4000 I've had a few fakers but this is the only picture I can find of the best one. Complete with Rick TRC and in mint condition. I swapped this for a DeVille Beatle bass nd an Epiphone Les Paul guitar with bigsby

    Still one of the most beautiful basses I ever owned. My Rickenbacker 4003 Blue Boy

    Now onto the stuff I've sold on with the most recent being an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Beautiful but just far too heavy Antoria Maple Fretless, now owned by another forum member: Epiphone Explorer. I just couldn't get on with the shape of it

    I've managed to take pictures of most of the basses I've owned over the years but there are quite a few missing. I'll start with what I have currently: From left to right is my April 1981 Ibanez Blazer, next is my modified Epiphone Goth Thunderbird with Hipshot Bridge and EMG HZs, followed by my newest acquisition which is a MIK Shine 8 string.

    I've decided to sell this as its surplus to requirements First is a set of D'addario string for 12 string bass. I bought these for my last 12 string bass but due to the frequency that I change basses, the strings arrived after I'd already sold the bass on so they've never been out of the packet. Not entirely sure how long I've had these but the strings are still sealed inside their factory bag. Going by the Stringsdirect website, they're £34 delivered so I can do them for £[s]22[/s] £18 delivered. I also have a brand new unused set of Rickenbacker 8 string bass strings. Being Rickenbacker strings, they're slightly lower tension gauge with 45-55-70-90 being the fundamental strings and 20-25-35-45 for the octave strings so a bit easier on the fingers. Again, Stringsdirect are doing these for £49 delivered so I can do them for £[s]35[/s] £27 delivered [b][size=4]See post from 2.18pm today for the deal[/size][/b]

    Its a lot easier thanyou think unless you really get your fingers way under the string when popping

    The Pog was the one effect that I badly wanted and ended up being the most disappointing. Everyone should do this at some point but get yourself an 8 or 12ver, split the signal so the highs go to a dirty guitar amp and the lows to your bass amp and soak up the filth In the words of the late, great Randy Savage - " Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
  21. Delberthot
    Yeah, c'mon pictures. I'm standing here with my Thunderbird and a circular saw waiting for something to happen so I can copy you
  22. Delberthot
    You can't replicate the sound of an 8 string with an octave. I bought a Pog for exactly that but it sounded shrill and terrible. Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell nailed it when they sang 'Ain't nothing like the real thing' If you play clean and simple then a 12ver is even better.

    Okay so its not to everyone's tastes but this was the first time I ever heard the 8 string bass, however many years ago it was. The mighty [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI3C2HS1vZM"]Lee Ritenour[/url] Ha - and when you get to 6 minutes in, that had to be the reason why I hit the bass like that when showboating. I had totally forgotten about that. Cor Blimey.

    I couldn't take my eyes off the bass players legs. Last time I saw legs like that, they had a message wrapped round them I just go with the music. Relatively speaking, I only really began moving recently. About 12 years ago I was aware that I was pulling some Flea bass faces and its kind of progressed from there. It depends on the audience and the song we're playing. I do a lot of showboating, making stuff look more impressive and complicated than it is - bit like the drummer at the wrong gig. I would love to be able to do the jump in the air splits that David Lee Roth does in the video for Jump

    Doesn't it cost about 6p to put a reserve on? People like that are the ones that gives us Scots a bad name for being tight with money
