I've been planning this for a while - I badly want to play this live but I would like the piano part so I can see what's what and work out how to two hand tap it. My plan is to tap out the intro and when the rest of the band comes in, sing it as well.

I thought they only squashed together close enough for 16mm

My 2 favourite musicals are the Blues Brothers and Pink Floyd's The Wall

C'mon guys, I spotted this yesterday morning. You're all getting a bit slow at spotting the comedy gold Egmond or tather bacon and Egmond bass with the patented banana headstock as used my Sir Paul of McCartney. Complete with f*** all as it would appear.

When I saw the first pic I thought - oh no, that's my favourite yamaha colour, what's he done? I really like it - or course as someone with a black thunderbird with flames up the fretboard, I'm all in favour of modifications to make a bass your own and this is certainly unique

In my search for a valve overdrive/distortion I came across this [url="http://damagecontrolusa.com/products/solid-metal/"]http://damagecontrolusa.com/products/solid-metal/[/url] Anyone here tried this before? Certainly sounds interesting

Without having to go down the route of buying a Kahler, are there any affordable 5 string bridges that'll do 15mm string spacing or near? best I can find is 16mm but I'd rather get 15mm

Will it be chips or jacket spuds? Will it be salad or frozen peas? Will it be mushrooms? Fried onion rings? You'll have to wait and see

[quote name='suzywong' post='991592' date='Oct 17 2010, 08:54 PM']Umm, don't ask. Not oriental in any way but do play bass. Been playing for 30 odd years. After hearing Level 42 and [b]RTF[/b] what's a guy to do?[/quote] Return to Forever? You have good taste if that's what it is Of course it could be Rolf's Terrible Flatulance

As the former owner of 2 - the only way you're getting through the finish is with a file or a saw. If you want the relic look then there isn;t really any alternative to nitro unless you get someone like Sandberg who do relic finishes

Just listed my Chorus pedal on Ebay and this came up: [quote]Attention sellers: Are you attempting to list a counterfeit or non-authentic item?

[quote name='Heathy' post='991046' date='Oct 17 2010, 12:52 PM']Why did Steve Harris stop using the Lado? I seem to recall that Bruce Dickinson accidently nutted it in two on the world slavery tour...[/quote] Could he not just have told him he didn't like it? Seems a bit severe "Hey Harris? See that bass? I'm gonna stick the heid right intae it cos it looks like it belongs in the bathroom accessory section of B&Q"

Kind of what I had in mind when I started my Baritone thread a month or so ago. I really like close string spacing, plus I'm experimenting with chords so something that would allow me to play bass and learn chords at the same time would be great Either that or I find a 5 string bass that could be converted to 6 string - I've done a couple of 4 to 5s so why not a 5 to 6

'Want me to show you every riff that I copied off Billy Sheehan? - then call this number' 1-800- A$$HOLE

Cool - I had a couple of lessons from James Finnegan years ago after he left Hue & Cry and just before he joined Stiltskin

There are plenty of Glasgow based members who may be able to come out with you to help you - at the end of the day its still up to you but someone may be able to advise you. If I had the time I'd come through but i;d probably end up buying something myself

It looks like the wooden equivelant ot the Tokai Talbo with a narrow Dean headstock

Thomann are pretty good as well - bought loads of stuff from them - bought a bass a few months ago that was faulty and they arranged pickup as soon as I told them about it and refunded as soon as it was back at their warehouse

wasn;t there a ninja one as well?

I've owned some amazing basses over the years such as: All black 5 string Stingray like Flea's Musicman Stingray 30th and 20th anniversaries Modulus Flea Carlo Robelli 12 string Warwich Thumb NT5 Rickenbacker 4003 - one in Midnite Blue, the other in a minty green Blueboy Ibanez SR1016 2 Unique Warmoths And you know what, I don;t regret selling any of them cos what I have now is exactly what I want. If I had been in a position similar to some above and had sold a bass for peanuts only to have them be worth a fortune a few years later I would be miffed but I have been very shrewd (and lucky) and 9 times out of 10 have made a profit I was fortunate to find a JV precision with a serial in the low 1xxxxx on Ebay for £200 a couple of years ago. Played it, didn't see the attraction with them and doubled my money a fortnight later.

I bought my 700RB II from Soundslive earlier this year - very good service, quick to respond to questions I actually spoke to Darren at the Bass Merchant before buying and he said they weren't stocking them as they'd had a lot of faulty ones recently
