How has your experience been with THG?? Ive been thinking of bgetting something from them for a while

Ive been looking for a while at monster cables, been recommednded to me by a couple of friends but the price is a bit of a put off, £88 for a lead!!!!!!!!!!!http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/Catalogue/default.aspx?categoryId=250

They seem to be a lot cheaper stateside but still at a very high price for cables, was just wondering if anyone had any experience with them and whether/how they justified the price

funky groovin and some great playing while not sounding like "widdling"

Wow didn't know you were on here! that makes things easier


Lex you have PM!!!

has anyone got his e-mail or his website?? Im not on myspace :ph34r:

+1 will too

And if I start practicing my tap tapping now I might be just about ready by the time it comes out!

989/ 984?? hmm nice bass but im guessing the one sold by basscentre would include a hardcase so you'd be paying a fiver more for a non cracked hardcase and a new bass

very nice bass though

where can you get them from??

Wow im a HUGE Jonas fan!!!! what was he like??

Very true burpster Ill have a look for one in the next few days, and if it plays like a dream I shouldnt think a nikki six asociation would make a whole lot of difference

that washburn would be perfect if it wasn't for the fingerboard

thanks burpster but I have a rather deep and passoinate hatred for motley crue so im not sure I could bring myself to use an instrument asociated with nikki, cheers anyway

Ive searched far and wide for an acoustic bass that you can slap, i mean obviously you CAN slap any bass but I mean one that you'd actually want to. Both feel - wise and tone - wise. Don't know if this is just me but I always find the soundhole gets in the way of where i'd normally rest my right hand, which is why i was thinking of something like warwick alien with a crazy soundhole. I think the fender vic bailey is supposed to have a good slap sound, hmmmmm. Well I was just wondering if anyone had ever owned an acoustic bass they liked for slap stuff so they could point me in the right direction. Anyone??????

that's the crazyest inlay ive ever seen and +1 on the buckeye

My first was an Axe 4 string p/jazz copy, I had no finger strength because id just started playing and the neck was so warped that I couldn't actually push the string to the board beyond the 12th fret. One of the bushings on the machinheads literally fell off the second day I had it so I played it with 3 strings and it had no backplate so the electronics hung out the back. it only had one knob with numbers literally painted on it but they weren't even so you couldnt really tell what was going on. And that SOUND well lets just say ill never hear anything like it again, what a bass

the tell me baby slap line one of the least imaginative slap lines ever by one of the kings of slap

loving the loading times guys, can we get that crazy bass back that was at the top of BW wasn't it some kind of limited edition thumb?? or we could have a poll to see what bass ppl wanted at the top. Might cause a few scraps tho, i can see the 8 string singlecut custom vs 60's fender jazz arguments unfolding as I type

cheers for the websites guys finished my first re-fin a while ago and now ive just got to take the plunge and actually build one, the canadian sites prices are amazing

hats off to you, thats one of the most beautiful 6's ive ever seen ive always liked zebrawood but seeing that back has given me some serious zebrawood GAS

I thought the funked version grooved better, but then its probably supposed to being the funked version, liked the slap line tho

wow! cheers for posting that, i wish my bands rehearsal tapes sounded like that, great to hear some early jaco too and be reminded that he was and always will be the man
