Hi guys, great doc' on Queen last night, wow what a song cataloge they have. Anyway, I had to have a noodle on another one bites the dust...all the sheet music I've seen for this has it in E minor, but noodling along it sounds closer to F minor to my poor ears....any ideas or is it just my ears? Maybe E 'n a bit minor? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWsJcg-g1pg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWsJcg-g1pg[/url] cheers guys

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1360422970' post='1970133'] They've been around for quite a while now and there's a 4th model too - the limited run sunburst with blocks and binding. I've never played one, but I know the weights vary from approx. 7.5 lbs to 9.5 lbs because I called a shop in Sheffield who had a few in and they weighed them all for me. [/quote] I'm guessing the Basswood 3TS would be the lightest, with the Maple being the heaviest, by a long chalk.....sunburst and blocks sounds great too.

I've just come across an ad' for the the VMJ in 3TS, tort PG and basswood body....I've never heard of these before? I loved my old 2010 VMJ maple body, but didn't enjoy the weight of that old boat anchor ...the £230'ish price sounds nice too! I knew there were two flavours, but not 3?

Ok, I heard my mate try and sing this acapella stylie at our half time break at the pub quiz night and thought, I'll have a go on that! (1st number single using Pro-Tools recording technique, ooh!) .... the normal bassline is all roots and 5ths but quite tricky timing, well for me it is, but if you play the melody it's a great bit of a work out and simply good fun to play. here's the piano line I used as for the bass, it's in C# minor, enjoy!....E major relative! and to noodle along too Enrique himself [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwIupEr9ryM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwIupEr9ryM[/url]

Bb614 and eb3 are very different animals indeed, the yamaha is a great bass and very versatile....active p/j. I haven't too many glowing reviews of the epi?

Rough rule of thumb when importing yank cars - I own a stingray at the moment - what you pay in dollars is what you pay in pound notes once everthing been paid for, should be the same for guitars. Customs are no idiots, takes a few seconds to Google values!

I'm wondering if yamaha RBX-4A2's may find favor in the future, certainly different from a few aspects, but I've yet to see any old yamaha make big money?

[quote name='theplumber' timestamp='1359857801' post='1961363'] The early made in India ones are the best,made in the same place as the Sunn Mustang basses and American Squiers. I changed the pickups in mine for Fenders and it's great! [/quote] An american Squier? I think its hard to find a crap new bass nowadays, it seems the CNC machine tool should be hailed from on high. It appears that the old bass guard suffered some real old tot' back in the 70/80's

Would it be so wrong as to name the member....just in case this isn't a one off, and/or the member has other gear for sale. If it all gets sorted out, great and a highlighted post of some kind to explain....if the guy is a thief.....

Aria SB-R60....looked lush, dull as can be...nothing wrong with it but so disappointing. Worst one I played...OLP 4 string, really very bad, I can see why Ernie pulled the plug.

Cheers guys

I've been asked if I can ship my MIMP to the US, got a price from parcelforce of 100 quid, can anyone recommend another courier? Cheers guys

Another vote for yamaha bb414/424/614

"The usual thing of paying for a name" You gots to earn that name in the 1st place though! Try some trace gear, I'm still amazed at my combo's build quality and sound

Ahh, Louis, just been going over get on the floor again, thought i was doing well then i find Louis is playing 3 notes at once on the first G....G with G octave and the 3rd's octave being B on the G string! ....amazing fingers...n' thumbs!

Great thread, I now have a great excuse for bum notes.... "oops, for a moment I was in New age V Romantic age tuning" and.......are studio pianos always in tune? Really? Mine would change daily, but it was only a tenner!

I was thinking the same myself, some lovely stuff up for grabs at the moment, low end to high end...hmmm

Amazing to think I paid 15 quid in 1986 for The The Soul Mining on vinyl! I struggle to see where the big money is made in music nowadays?

Chris bought my Trans Orange Stingray, good all the way . Nice easy deal, smooth coms, prompt payment, pleasure to deal with, what more can one ask for for. thanks and take care of her!
