[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1376775446' post='2179088'] Mike's (urb) Sei fretless. [/quote] Didnt think he had a fretless Sei. You meaning his singlecut?

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1376679965' post='2178052'] Fact of the matter is that the specs against anything else that's even close are still more expensive and this is an example of a cab that gets used a lot. [/quote] I think that factoid was debunked at post #126.

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1376483833' post='2174565'] No doubt he is a great bassist and deserves all the credit he gets. However, the music on the clip seems to be more about technique/chops with little in the way of relating to an audience. I could not relate to it. YMMV. [/quote] It's one of those shread things isn't it?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1376666460' post='2177727'] I'm afraid Axminster is in receivership. Will tufted Wilton do. [/quote] True. But ideally, I'm looking for a vintage Axminster P bass. With matching strap.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376664246' post='2177657'] The black one, the red one or the blue sparkle fretless? [/quote] Red for me.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1376665777' post='2177707'] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH85zttgbGg [/quote] Aw c'mon, this is fur and fluff! I'm looking for a slab of Axminster's finest!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376664724' post='2177678'] What about the van from dumb and dumber? [/quote] Has to be a bitch to polish and mop...

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1376664617' post='2177676'] [/quote] At least the aesthetics are in keeping with the thread.

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1376663574' post='2177635'] In your subjective opinion. [/quote] Yup. They were all sh1t, mine included!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1376663974' post='2177649'] No, they've moved on to poly, but people still demand the inferior old way of doing it. Kind of like wanting tolex or carpet instead of hard coatings. [/quote] I've never seen a bass with carpet on?

[quote name='funkypenguin' timestamp='1376662597' post='2177610'] Eude's 6 string finn, The Doodle, Kiwi's Shuker MIDI 6 and Sheps Roscoe LG [/quote] I couldn't pick out Eude's Finn. I can't think what Kiwi's Shuker looks like but I just recall a Kiwi inlay. Shep's Roscoe... if I was in a room full or Roscoes, I would have to get a measuring tape out to find the one which was 32" scale! (PS not saying, they aren't iconic basses, just that I as an individual find them hard to picture right now!)

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1376662727' post='2177613'] How about the black Celinder that used to be the main image on the site home page? [/quote] I was going to mention that... then realised it had gone!!

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1376656634' post='2177460'] Modulus are not currently trading , from what I understand , although I've heard a rumour that Genz Benz might be buying the brand . [/quote] If that's Genz... that would be Fender then?

The JAN is a great invention. Slam it on. Forget about it. There's a lot of snake oil in this area. I've got a nickel nut on one of my basses. Why? Purely cosmetic. I've had basses with bone, tusq, plastic, brass and other assorted metals. Not convinced there's anything to get worked up about personally.

???

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376658187' post='2177495'] Are most new basses shot with nitro? [/quote] Cabs?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1376657493' post='2177479'] Cars used to be painted with nitrocellulose. Situation would be comparable if most cars still were. [/quote] Missing your point? PS I'm comparing my 2012 car with a 2012 Ferrari... or were you suggesting I was driving around in something shot with nitro?

[quote name='matski' timestamp='1376650944' post='2177307'] Fat, balding, middle-aged blokes shouldn't wear leather trousers. [/quote]

[quote name='Kirky' timestamp='1376657084' post='2177470'] I love everything abut my Compacts. Having said that, I've got the silver cloth versions - I don't like the look of the metal grille ones quite so much. [/quote] Must admit, I prefer the Fenderesque looking ones to the grills... but conversely, I love the look of that Berg with the metal grill pasted a while back.

[quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1376601323' post='2176819'] If a textured pain finish is good enough for Martin, Court, Nexo and Turbosound, to name just a few, then I'm quite happy to belong to this elite with my 69er. [/quote] Using that logic, I'm quite happy with my car's paintwork being in the same elite as Ferrari...

I was having a convo about "famous" basses owned by BCers with StingrayPete. Who owns them? For me... the basses I know straight off are Ped's Vigier, Dood's first flipflop purple Shuker and BigRedX's Gus. Whos are yours?

Hey Pete, you know there is one sure fire way of seeing if its a Status!

I'm still tempted to go for round 2 with NE circuit... feck everybody else off this time. Go Warmoth.

It's all about finding that killer Squier.

Funnily enough Pete, my RBX375 seems to be getting all the playing time at home at the moment!
