[quote name='silddx' post='1103214' date='Jan 26 2011, 09:40 AM']So why do secondhand premium German Warwicks only seem to command less than a third of the new price, but people appear prepared to pay up to £700 for a secondhand Japan Fender Reissue. Make that nearly a grand with shipping and import duty if they source them from Japan. Fender could probably only manage about three or four of those bullets above.[/quote] ARE YOU SUGGESTING IT'S A WASTE OF TIM TO ADVERTISE WARWICKS ON BASSCHAT???

Great stuff! From a recording pov, particularly impressed with the drum sound, given that it's someone's front room - how was the kit mic'ed up?

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1092402' date='Jan 17 2011, 12:48 PM']Great musicians for sure, but totally leaves me cold.[/quote] I'd agree with that. Sounds like background music for a tv show or something - instantly forgettable.

ENTHUSIASM FOR MUSIC 78% MUSICAL PERCEPTION 99% EMOTIONAL CONNECTION 82% SOCIAL CREATIVITY 93% MUSICAL CURIOSITY 19% group the music - all over the place: but then "pop" and "hip-hop" both come under "rubbish" in my book (see MUSICAL CURIOSITY score above ) match the beat 12/18 tap beat 6 high 3 medium melody memory 12/12

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1082533' date='Jan 8 2011, 08:19 PM']Nah. You can buy a bass that looks, plays & sounds pretty much identical to that for about a hundred quid. If I had £8000 to blow on a bass, I'd get my head examined. Jon.[/quote] +1

Without wishing to hi-jack the thread, I notice that the Beyer DT-100 phones come in 400 ohm and 16 ohm versions. What factors would determine which was more suitable? (I would want to use them with a) my hi-fi amp my studio mixer c) my bass practice amp). Any advice appreciated.

Something a bit different....(warning, there's a tiny bit of French swearing at the end :-))

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1068619' date='Dec 24 2010, 11:04 AM']I regret to say, however, that a lot of music performed in the region I work in is not performed particularly well and playing music I don't like badly is not a good place for me to be and it is that which I seek to avoid where I can.[/quote] Hi Bilbo, When you say "the region I work in", are you speaking geographically or musically? Just curious! E

[quote name='Krysbass' post='1042381' date='Nov 30 2010, 02:04 PM']If I was starting a new band, I’d try to make it a band with 2 vocalists (maybe Blues Brothers style). I know; 2 singers sounds like a living hell, but there’s some method in my madness….. 1. As long as the 2 singers aren’t an item, when one of them goes AWOL, you should still be able to get by with the other one, so you don’t have to start cancelling gigs and rehearsals. 2. If one of the singers goes violent, the other singer will probably be first on the receiving end [/quote] Maybe this idea could be expanded so that bands are organized like football sides, with a "first" team and "reserves". Pick your team from the available "squad" for each gig.

Heavy rock with a hint of jazz...

[quote name='Master blaster' post='1040876' date='Nov 29 2010, 10:10 AM']Has anyone else found themselves playing songs/styles that they wouldn't in a million years think they'd enjoy??[/quote] At family gatherings, my brother(sax), father(piano/organ) and myself(bass) will usually have a session playing a few old jazz standards. Mood Indigo, Getting Sentimental Over You, Lullaby of the Leaves, Sweet Georgia Brown, Limehouse Blues, After You've Gone, Has Anybody Seen My Gal, Ain't Misbehaving etc etc I'm the youngest, at 50, and my father is in his eighties. I'm sure it's more fun to play than to listen to, but it's great to have an activity we can all share and enjoy.

[quote]Which Strings do you use?[/quote] Some days I use all four. What??

If the item has a minor fault that is quick/simple/cheap to fix, then FIX IT before putting the item up for sale. I would never buy or bid on anything where the seller says something like "knob is missing, but it's easy to replace - you can get them for £1 from Maplins", because I would always think - "if it's really that simple, why haven't YOU done it?"
