Never heard of Roscoe Beck, sounds like some character out of Dukes of Hazzard?. The bass however looks very fine. Congrats are in order Sir.

A month for that lot ? I will keep my fingers crossed. Anyway if i were you id buy a cheap secondhand bass and small practice amp, that you can keep in a cupboard. Then sell them again afterwards.

[color="#000000"]Hail[/color] fellow, [color="#000000"]well met.[/color]

[color="#000000"]Father Noel[/color] Furlong, is my favourite Graham Norton creation.

He said the thing that annoys him most is when he has a new album out and people ask him "but is it as good as your first album though?" (it never is. Thats the only thing they have ever done that i liked. All their influences out in the open writ large)

If they used the money that they spend on new models, and spent it on product quality control, across their basic range. they'd stil make the same proffit, but have a better name for themselves. I mean do they really need to advertise or bring out a dozen new models every year. Concentrate on the stuff your good at, is what I say.

"both models include premium features such as; a three-ply pickguard, high mass bridge, knurled chrome knobs..." Woooooo such innovation. How do they think up this new ideas?

You guitardists are all bummers. Best wishes. The Phantom ps, bloody turncoats.

[quote name='benebass' timestamp='1324597725' post='1476221'] Status flats are really good value, but are pretty old school & thumpy (they're probably the Picato ones repackaged actually). Might not be what you're looking for if you're new to flats, but I like them. [/quote] Status Flats. Indeed ALL Status strings are wound by them in house. Not other makes repackaged. They make a point of clearly stating this on their website. the only reason they are cheap is because they make their own so dont need to charge extra on them to make a proffit.

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1325769685' post='1487349'] The tension is getting to me now. I'll have to break out the big tin of vintage Victory Vs and chomp myself into a stupor. [/quote] Victory vee's ah yes in my childhood I used to put them in a clothes peg and suck on them like a tiny hot lolly.

When i bought the Jaco Pastoriuos cd, the guy in the shop asked me if i was a bass player (or more like confirmed it for himself) He said that he always asked whenever anyone bought one, which only happened 3 or 4 times a year, and that he had yet to find anyone buying one who was not a bass player. I asked him if [i]he[/i] was a bass player and of course he was

I can see this degenerating into a huge row and the Basschat forum desecnding into another mess like the one that created it in the first place. All because some people couldnt be bothered looking for a guitar forum from the two million out there that already exsist. ps: Guitards.

One that many people wouldnt think of is [b]Steve Garvey [/b]of The Buzzcocks. some of those early Buzzcocks tracks have excellant bass tone, not forgetting some dextrous fingering. Below is a sample for all you Philistines who aint heard him [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRzScthaPOE[/media]

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1325753023' post='1486964'] Good to hear they are working for some of you. I've used them for almost every gig since I started this thread. I forget I'm wearing them most of the time and they feel great to play in. Long live Audrey Hepburn [/quote] they must be a good fit. (no too tight [i]or[/i] too lose) I have tried playing in fingerless gloves and find it almost impossible.

I thought you were talking about Flying Pickets for a moment there, when i saw the subject title.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1325751245' post='1486933'] Many of us flattists prefer when the sring has aged a little (or even a lot). . [/quote] Like James Jamerson. he liked his strings a week or two old.

I dont get it? How come a Mexican Fender roadworn Jazz is a grand. I though MIM models were cheaper ?

Silk Gloves are used for posh w***s only in my house.

I have plenty of good [i]Android[/i] apps on my HTC Hero phone. No iPad apps though. No iPad either come to think of it. Nice but too expensive. I will get one the day that I can walk in to PC world and buy one off the shelf for under £250. Though being as Apple has prices on a tighter rein than [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5i_pEYGe1o"][i]Champion the wonder horse[/i][/url], I cant see me ever getting one.

I just got a set of[b] [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/"]Status[/url] [/b]own make, flats, only £20 inc p & p which is good for flats. They dont just buy some strings in and label them Status either. They wind their own, in house. All types of strings and lengths, they even sell singles too.

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1325500155' post='1483580'] So where does all that money go????? [/quote] probably half to pay bloody official trouble causers. Better known as security men, with the other half going on health and safety bollocks.

Thats easy. An EAD cab.

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1261424234' post='690927'] Bob Marley - Stir It Up [/quote] One of the first bass lines i learned to play. You can really zone out to it for ages. Using it to practice placing your fingers properly and getting a clear note.
