I have the opposite problem - I have something for sale but there must be something blocking people's PMs coming through

Does he teach you driving 'the Chinese Way'?

The action looks a bit high and the 5th fret seems a lot more worn that the others I had to enlarge the picture to check that it was actually a bass - looks like one of those pictures where they've magnified an everyday object by 100x and you need to guess what it is.

Hmm the HF ones may be the ones for me. I don't want uniform frequency attenuation - I like my ER20s cos they get rid of some of the damaging high end caused primarily by crashing symbols in my immediate vicinity. I've always been very sensitive to high frequencies my whole life so they may be the solution

Is it my imagination or is this really cheap? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Gibson-EB2-Bass-Guitar-/130433861702?pt=Guitar&hash=item1e5e76c846"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Gibson-EB2-B...=item1e5e76c846[/url]

more originals than covers on the voting but more covers than originals on the posts in the thread?

An idea I've had for some time now but am unsure how effective it would be. Would it be possible to plug your bass into a small 5 or so watt all valve guitar combo to get a 'proper' overdriven valve sound before taking a line out to your bass amp? Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree?

Surely it would be cheaper to find the best showroom condition 76 Jazz bass and have the work done by the best luthier in the country and it would still be less money?

A Fender one now I already want a Squier now where's that new simley oh yes so whats the craic with this German "bloke"???[/quote] He sells sh*te at vastly inflated prices but we reckon its a ruse so that people will check out his parts (ooer missus) and buy them instead

[quote name='geoffbyrne' post='984989' date='Oct 11 2010, 10:38 PM']Looks great!! Here's mine - a Thunder IIIb Fretless, all original. G.[/quote] Put that away Dammit. One of the few basses on the forum that still gives me GAS and I don;t even do fretless anymore

So is it left or right handed? I'm assuming the neck dive would be so bad you'd have to play it with the neck pointing towards the floor

[quote name='paul h' post='985056' date='Oct 11 2010, 11:50 PM']I think I've seen Level 42. Can't be sure.[/quote] Bad acid or repressed memory?

it needed to be said. Anyway - GK heads are very good. Never tried the cabs mind though I fancy trying the neo 2x12" cabs but I think 6 changes of bass rig in a year is bordering on silly so I may wait until next year

to hear what a 2x15" sounds like with a Gallien head, click [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItZyaOlrb7E"]here[/url]

you can't handle the fact that others think something is good when you think it is not i have not problem with someone not liking my gear, in fact I could not give two f***s about it You simply could not get your head around the fact that people were posting clips of what they thought were good sounding 2x15" cabs. You had to diss them as being wrong. Adding IME, IMO etc does not give you the right to tell everyone that they're wrong IMO, you're being a dick

I've gone from being a fingers player to using a plectrum more and more. I'm also playing closer to the bridge than I used to. Learning 2 handed tapping as well as the occasional chord. I would say my playing has come on so much more in the last 3 or 4 years and I think its been from listening to what people on here have to say about stuff and being introduced to new bands and picking up new tricks Oh aye, I'm 35

[quote name='neepheid' post='983257' date='Oct 10 2010, 12:37 PM']I mostly use Hartke strings which I have found surprisingly good despite their inexpensive nature (£12-15 off ebay for 3 sets). Bright sound, and not too rough a feel either.[/quote] I've found that these work really well on my Epiphone Thunderbird and last for months at the same price for 3 sets as you'd pay for one set of standard strings like Rotos. In ther past though I've found that Slinkies work really well on Stingrays, Optima Gold and Chrome on '51 Reissue Precisions, TI Flats on Ibanez SR series and Elites on Bass Collection basses.
