    What's the bass/instrument you have had longest?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    My Maison 129p is my longest had instrument.

    Maison 5-String Bass Guitar - 004

    Bought in '92 I think, and it sounds absolutely lovely through my Vox amp.

    Sadly, the volume knob on the bass no longer works so I have to get that replaced, and I'm planning on removing the name decal from the body at some point - someone here recommended T-Cut for that, I haven't got around to doing it yet.

    It was the second bass I ever owned, and the first 5-String.

    Your Best Bargain / Worst Sale

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Best buy was my Vox AC-50 amp, which I got together with a Vox VR-115, for £150 in the early '90s. Granted, it was by no means a bargain for me at the time, as I think I was only earning about £70 a month.

    I still have both items, and the amp now goes for considerably more than what I paid for it, but I love it, so I'm not gonna part with it.

    Buying from the Bass Gallery online

    Bought a bass from them last year and everything was good. They answered my emails without issues, being in a different country to them everything was done remotely and no issues with the bass upon arrival with me.

    I'd have no concerns with dealing with them again should the need/want arise.

    The bass model design that You hate with passion.

    I don't hate them, but for the life of me I just don't get the Flying-V shape.

    This might sound odd coming from a POV of someone that really likes Thunderbirds, but the Flying-V I just can't get my head around.

    I have zero time for this shape of bass/guitar. My mate has a guitar and just … nope. I simply can't be having it.

    It's like there's this disconnect in my head that whenever I see one I just have to roll my eyes and give a little shake of my head. 😂

    How can we be several pages in and not one of you has wheeled out the tired old "Jaco only needed 4 strings" statement. Well... there it is!

    ^^ That's my build code ^^

    I couldn't grab an image of it so the code above should help, but there's no reverse headstocks so it's a moot point for me (he says, like I could afford one anyway 😂), and at $3349, I'd absolutely want what I want, and what I want is a reversed headstock, and three pickups.

    The Doors music. I realise they were a great, groundbreaking band. I just can't stand them.

    Oohh yes, I'm the same on them as I am with REM too. But this thread was about songs, not artists, so I've refrained from mentioning until now that someone else throws whole artists under the bus. 😂

    Facebook advertising, is it worth it?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    If it wasn't for Fb sponsored content I would never have found Larkin Poe, which is now probably my favourite band of recent times.

    Also got stuff from When Rivers Meet as well, so Fb advertising does work, I guess you just have to make sure you are hitting the right demographics in your targeting.

    Let us know how it works out for you?
