If you want an extender bar (that I bought for my 1964 Gibson EBO and sold for a stupidly cheap price) I still have one in my 'bits and pieces' draw.

[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1474311163' post='3137052'] I saw it last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. How much it adds to the story is debatable. but it's a great movie and I would urge even the sceptics to try and see it when it eventuality gets streamed/Netflixed and DVD'd to death. My "take away" was just how good a live band they were, even in a hail of teddy bears and Jelly Babies. I guess playing for six or seven hours a night, seven days a week in German clubs can really sharpen you up... After the film ended came the best part for me - the showed all thirty glorious minutes of the enhanced Shea Stadium gig. Absolutely superb. Paul trying to keep it together, Ringo knocking seven shades of something out of his kit and John and George goofing off. Yet it all sounds incredible. Still relevant? Yeah. They were accidental pioneers, breathing new life into a declining dance craze. The degrees of separation between them and the current crop of skinny white boys toting guitars increases with every generation, but that's a hell of a shadow they've cast. Their legacy will outlive all of us. It's OK to say "I don't like the Beatles", but to deny their influence and colossal importance is foolish. [/quote] OK. I'm going to say it then. I don't like the Beatles. But I also don't like anything any of them did individually afterwards either. Whatever their influence I just don't get it or them.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1474284977' post='3136749'] i had a listen to some of their stuff, but they just seem to be ripping off Oasis. [/quote] And I'm not too keen on them either

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1474290903' post='3136846'] I'll never understand why you guys mock and have very little appreciation for this incredible part of music history which is yours. Or is pride another culture difference? Blue [/quote] This Also we are sarcastic and ironic in the UK. So sometimes what we say is the exact opposite of what we mean.

My Rumble 500 lasted less than 5 minutes after unpacking it before it stopped working. I took it straight back to GAK for a full refund. Wouldn't touch one again with a bargepole.

I had an Aria SB1200 once - hardly any of them ever made so should be easy enough to spot if it comes onto the market

I've had two LR Baggs Acoustibasses and one SD5. All brilliant basses. I don't know why they arnt as well known as other brands as they are superb instruments.

I've had both an A4 and a B4 and thought they were both fantastic basses, and in my opinion are up there with basses worth double. I did change the Bartolinis for Nordstrand pickups (the A4 had already had them fitted and I saw some going cheap on ebay so fitted them to the B4) but they were already pretty brilliant basses. Buy with confidence.

Sold Richard a preamp. Great communication and quick payment. Top bloke

Having moved over to 5 string I would never go back to 4. It's the economy of movement that does it for me. And I've two 'cheapies'. A Warwick Chinese RB Streamer Neck thru and a Warwick Korean Pro2 Series Starbass. Both B strings feel absolutely right. Both are 34 inch and both would be considered definitely 'non boutique'. I've also just sold a Korean Squier Protone Precision 5 string. I'd say the B string was even slightly better than the Warwicks (but I refuse to play anything Fender shaped so it had to go - but that's another thread)).

Sold a Villex passive midtone boost to Mark. Great communication and speedy payment. Good bloke all round

Sold Paul some Gotoh tuners. Speedy payment and all round top guy. Many thanks

I can't remember which bassist from which metal band said this, but the gist of his playing was to use as many open strings as possible. That way he could stand with one foot on a monitor, left arm in the air pointing at the audience whilst still playing root notes. Has served me well for many years (no good for wgfa though, I'm afraid

I know absolutely nothing about building basses but something I've done to pretty much every bass I've had since I owned a couple of 1980's Ibanez RB850's (which had this) is move the strap button from directly behind the bridge to 2 or so inches up. That way the body hangs a bit lower and neck comes up, stopping neck dive. Works for me

Sold Aldofredo a Squier ProTone Precision V. Easy communication. Would happily deal with him again
