    [quote name='4000' timestamp='1331573759' post='1575113']Being technically very good is only any use if it enables you to say make an interesting artistic statement. Music is about art, about creativity. Technique is just an aid to that.. It's quite possible to be technically very good and have little or nothing to say...[/quote] A colleague of mine is an English teacher. He knows all about sentences, grammar and stuff like that. In other words, he has great technique. When he speaks though, nothing but dull monologues come out. Nobody wants to listen to him... Is this relevant?

    Over-rating bass players is over-rated.

    Is he after a Wal? I didn't like to ask - but maybe he'll take a fence...

    [quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1331500388' post='1573885'] Hey Conan, I'll bear that in mind when it goes but would be nice to take a look first and you're a fair distance away. Wife is from Hexham tho so a trip north isn't impossible. [/quote] No worries. I'm not exactly snowed under with great offers for it at the moment...

    Why do people ask about a bass then bugger off without responding to your answer?!
  6. Conan
    Although I don't really want your P (I've just sold one!), I'm selling a Cort Curbow 5 for £250 if you are interested? See my sig for the link...

    Maybe Wor Javier is a Buddhist? It's nice to see so many old threads re-incarnated.

    [quote name='Janvier' timestamp='1331470956' post='1573206'] Bad form?? Isn't it better to be informed rather than misinformed? OK, read the rules and as a newbie didn't know you could send PM's. Think the 'mean' looking smiley was necessary - bad form that man! [/quote] I'm not sure that asking for an ambitious price at the start of a for sale thread is "misinformation". Sellers are entitled to ask whatever price they like on their own threads. If the price is too high the item will not generate much interest and the seller may well reduce the price accordingly. On this particular forum it IS considered "bad form" to question a sellers price in such an open manner. PM is cool. Perhaps the grumpy face was slightly gilding the lily, I'll grant you that!

    [quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1331424802' post='1572801'] Man even if this thread is "dead".... price are not to be discussed in public. Any concern for price should be done via PM. [/quote] Indeed. Bad form that man. Read the rules!

    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1331426089' post='1572813'] £50 is a reasonable price depending on the amount of 'work' the seller says it needs.[/quote] Indeed. Fifty quid is a very good price if the guitar is a good 'un. But it does depend how much "work" is needed and whether you can do it yourself. If you have to pay someone else to sort out problems then it probably isn't worth it. IMO of course.

    Nut has already been replaced, and bridge pickup needs replacement if the guitar is to be playable. Oh, and the frets are shagged too. Sounds like great value. Not.

    Some interest but still here...

    [quote name='Piggery Bassist' timestamp='1331380144' post='1572077'] i have another that is geddying in the way of the jazz (see what i did there) [/quote] That's quality that is!! Bump for a great bass.
  14. Conan
    So have the CS pickups gone now Howard?
  15. Conan
    Is it as good as this tone though...? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUrH4NrqIjw&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUrH4NrqIjw&feature=related[/url]
  16. Conan
    And a very similar tone from this P... unless miming of course! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wQB900tFvI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wQB900tFvI&feature=related[/url]

    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1331080934' post='1567500'] And a Thunderbird as well.... [/quote] Certainly a T-bird on this clip. Nice tone! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxAZU7PK8OA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxAZU7PK8OA[/url]

    Are the original parts (neck, bridge, pickups) still available?
  19. Conan
    [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1331287702' post='1570723'] The new neck really does marry perfectly with the body, they sound superb together, it really works! Jon Shuker has done a brilliant job!! [/quote] And there was me thinking that my Geddy-GAS had been cured! Damn you!!
  20. Conan
    So all that remains of the original "Geddy" is the body and scratchplate? Sounds like a lovely bass, but is it really a "Fender Geddy Lee" when there is so little of the original left? Anyway - have a bump. These are brilliant basses whoever makes them!

    [quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1331282660' post='1570621'] I'm not a Pro [/quote] The OP asked about professionals specifically. Maybe the thoughts of amateurs/semi-pros should ber another thread?
  22. Conan
    [quote name='mike257' timestamp='1331280552' post='1570578'] I guess it's down to the individual and them having awareness of how it affects their abilities. [/quote] Yes. A lot of pontifficating on this thread.
  23. Conan
    [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1331203629' post='1569239'] Classy. [/quote] Just trying to be helpful.
  24. Conan
    Interesting idea! Maybe we should start up a "swap-shop" thread, so that if you are just a bit bored with a bass and want to try something else, you don't actually have to sell it - just swap with someone else for a while!! I like that idea. Anyone like to swap a nice fretless for my Status? Just for a while of course...

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1331144970' post='1568483']Overall, it`s what you put out to the punters that ultimately matters... it works better in my band. [/quote] Yeah, that's what I think too. Fortunately I'm in a band where everyone has enough maturity and insight to listen to each other and [b][i]themselves[/i][/b]. The total is more than the sum of the parts. IMO of course!
