  1. Very nice Bass Mike. Now you can spend all your spare time polishing that lovely finish
  2. Your Sei looks great now but just wait until that high gloss finish goes on. It'll pop your eyes out!!! Stunning.
  3. Firstly mate I'm really sorry to hear of your injury to your hand. If its any comfort I had an accident back in 2000 when I had close to half of 3 fingers crushed off my left hand by some hydraulic rescue equipment. It took a while, maybe 2 1/2 to 3 years but I discovered (by accident, noodling in a music shop) that I could still play reasonably well. And with a bit of practice and adapting my left hand technique I now play Bass better than I did before. I don't know the extent of your injuries but I do know that its possible to overcome some pretty serious injuries. There's a guy on you tube (Bill Clements) who lost his right arm and he still plays (very well as it happens). I guess its like anything in life, if you want it badly enough you will succeed. Stay positive and good luck.
  4. Very nice Ian, liking the retro vibe. I knew it wouldn't be long before you started 'tinkering' I've just got my CIJ CAR 75 RI from Chris (umcoo) and its wonderful. Pics to follow once I've fitted a Badass II !
  5. Hold out your hand, Chris Squire from the album 'Fish out of Water'.
  6. For me Pino Paladino would probably be the most complete Bass player. Great fretless work with Paul young. I think he used a graphite neck on his MM because he liked to slap it occasionally and it gave a more percussive tone. Mark King of course. Nick Beggs. Mick Karn. Geddy Lee. Chris Squire. Stanley Clarke. Wilbur Bascombe. Maybe not so well known but played on the excellent 'Wired' album by Jeff Beck. Tony Levin. Louis Johnson.
  7. It looks Slaptastic Mate !
  8. Your Wife has offered you a Jazz Bass for your Birthday and you already have four!!!!!!!!!? Two things. Firstly she needs to speak to my Wife. Secondly. Check the car for dings!!
  9. Hi Guys, if you want some free tuition from You Tube check out MarloweDK. He has over 200 vids to choose from. Some are playalongs and some are technique ranging from basic to some fairly expert double thumb action (steady now) as well as using a pick and finger style.
  10. Hi Ped, just read your excellent review but for some reason the links to the sound samples aren't working. Any ideas mate?
  11. Hi jwbassman, I live in Norfolk. Thanks for the offer
  12. Hi Guys, thanks for all the kind words about the rig. To answer your questions...... If I sell the price would be £1100 but I already have 2 interested parties. There is no onboard comp but there are 2 independant channels. I'm thinking about EA because the tone shaping facilities and its class D so very light! I still don't know for sure if I can make the Bash but if I can I'll bring the rig so you can have a play. As I said in the first post this was just a feeler beacause I like the idea of building a BFM O12 Tallboy cab after reading Gilmours Build (which is excellent btw). I didn't realise there would be quite the interest that there has been but then Epi gear is very good. And I'm not considering changing because I'm unhappy with the Epi, its the same old story. Damn this GAS!!!
  13. Managed 11 seconds.....and I like some of the technical noodling.
  14. Nice example Thunderthumbs. Just goes to show that good technique, great feel and catchy bassline really can move your feet and put a smile on your face. (Well mine anyway).
  15. Thanks for the interest tremblap but I'd rather sell the whole rig if I can, or I'll just keep it.
  16. Hi, this is just a feeler because I'm still very happy with this rig but if I can sell (for the right cash) or exchange for an Amp Head with cash my way I will move it on. The reason? GAS of course!! I'm quite taken with the idea of building a BFM Tallboy cab along the lines of Gilmour's but using the 12" Woofer instead of the 15". The sort of Head I'd consider might be an SWR 750x or an EA 800 iamp. I rekon my rig is worth at least £1100 as its in supurb nick and comes with the Epi footswitch. I'm at work for the rest of the week so I can't include pictures at the moment but I'll try to get some on the weekend. Waduya think?
  17. Been watching him for a while now. Comes accross as a nice guy with a great feel for a groove. Over 200 vids to choose from although I prefer his technique vids rather than the playalongs. Its nice to see someone giving free advice on playing for the benefit of Bass players of all levels.
  18. Nice rig, lovely Basses!
  19. Do the 84's sound good for slap as well as finger style?
  20. Forgive the Noobish question but are these pups passive only?
