[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1268925' date='Jun 14 2011, 05:37 PM']You know we will be there dude! Lets face it [/quote] Seriously, didn't enjoy last year.

Contemplating not going this year cos of the slappage. Depends upon the line up to be honest.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1262499' date='Jun 9 2011, 12:03 PM']I haven't heard a Blade but I thought they had "hot" pickups. Do you run the Modulus at the same volume? Now you've got a better bass I think you need a better rig to let your bass shine through.[/quote] Not got any experience of a blade, but hot pickups usually boosted mids, which is what usually cuts through a mix the most. Try boosting the mids on the amp when using the Modulus. If not, go with the above, you probably need to look at improving your bass rig so you can push the tone you want through at volume, rather than compensate for lack of volume by changing your tone.

[quote name='Machines' post='1259866' date='Jun 7 2011, 04:14 PM']I'd contact the Bass Centre - they'll have some info.[/quote] There you go. They are made by GHS for the Bass Centre.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1254484' date='Jun 2 2011, 07:51 PM']Thats just amazing and at that price it needs to come into the Basschat community surely? I think thats way under priced if it plays as good as it looks. V&R could ask £2500+ IMO for that when has another 76' in original condition last been available in the UK never mind as good as that! Serious GAS going on right now.[/quote] Been talking to Pete about this. I'm not sure that this is a 76... I would wager this bass is B004444, which would make it a refin, and a 77. The (one number short - I'm guessing the * in the add dictates a number) serial number would suggest it's certainly a 77. 1976, all original? Depends if you call that colour burgundy or not and you believe the serial number makes it a 76...

[quote name='Clarky' post='1246693' date='May 27 2011, 09:39 AM']No worries Bob, if it helps BassDirect just sold a few Wals for aroud the £3k mark and Bass Gallery have several FS at £3.5k (mind you, they don't seem to be shifting so I think they are a bit over-priced). If no buyer on BC for it, I would suggest giving Mark at BassDirect a call[/quote] I've been watching those on BassDirect's site. I suspect you are right. I suspect this is a little overpriced also... [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Prima_A_Walnut.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...a_A_Walnut.html[/url]

Beautiful.

Went to school with Charlie. Was good to have a decent drummer around - turned into quite a mean guitarist also. Not really my chosen tipple, but have been following both Razorwire and LBD since their conception!

Those in the know would know that Prince would be my top choice but for now Katy Perry will do... hence my Katy Perry choice. I'm not Larry Graham or female so I don't suppose I'm gonna get the call any time soon...!

Katy Perry.

[quote name='lbquota' post='1239936' date='May 22 2011, 06:58 AM']If you like the Ashdown sound then I would go for the Ampeg preamp although you'll not be able to replicate that sub-harmonic kick so unique in the Ashdown gear.[/quote] That sounds like a selling point to me.

[quote name='crez5150' post='1237697' date='May 20 2011, 08:09 AM']One 'band' that I really admire is the Bogus Brothers, not a band in the traditional sense but they put on shows which are very cheesy but their work roster is quite enviable. You should check them out, they have their sh*t together.[/quote] Oh yeah! Just checked out their promo video. They know how to work the crowd

I wrote some dots for this a long, long time ago for a band that never happened. I shall see if I have still got the folder.

Anybody with OCD wouldn't own a Dingwall anyway. Frets have to be absolutely parallel don't you know.

bass_ferret has recently taken delivery of a new white Spitfire and its well worthy of inclusion in this thread - "Broken white" with snakeskin plate. Bound neck... matching headstock. Mmm. Lovely.

[quote name='Chris Horton' post='1221549' date='May 5 2011, 08:55 PM']That BBNE2 bass looks sweeeeeeeeet I have gas for these instruments. I play a TRB 5 PII & TRB 6 II, how would you compare the sound between these bass guitars ? Chris[/quote] I have only played the TRB5 - on two gigs. Have to say, nice bass but the Nathan East did it for me more than the TRB. That may be down to be being more familiar with it but it just felt nicer and the preamp just felt a little smoother sounding than the TRB. Both great instruments but they are like chalk and cheese - completely different. The BBNE2's single coils are sweet and with the preamp, it has a great range of sounds in it.

[quote][b]Yamaha BB5000, fretless [/b] [/quote] Love solid colour through necks - the transition from neck to body always looks the business.

[quote name='Fat Rich' post='1220702' date='May 5 2011, 10:08 AM']It looks like the answer to "What are really unfashionable at the moment?" is...... Status players Thanks guys! [/quote] Do you get a free pair of slippers with every Status?

Have to say, I didn't enjoy my experience with the Nordstrands - they are very mid humped with harsh treble and are very, very noisy - even on a bass which was shielded to the max. My favourite J pickup - especially when run passive, were the Bare Knuckle pickups. Despite what the bandwagoners on here say, I find Bartolinis very pleasing (and not all dark and muddy) when used with an active circuit... not so much my thing when they are run passive.

[quote name='Fat Rich' post='1219588' date='May 4 2011, 10:17 AM']It'll be interesting to see if Chris Wotsisname from Muse will make Status fashionable again..... I hope not [/quote] Interesting - Status seem to suffer from a bit of a typecast thing, not that Status should be complaining, Kingy has kept their order books full for years. Chris Wolstenholme is an interesting case - there's not many bass hero types that can sell basses. Is he one of them? Maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell!
