  3. ahh yea nice choice, check out Jerome preston's bcr,, sounds clear as a bell.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTfRjihu2rY if we are talking lust here , i only ever really REALLY wanted two basses owned by others, 1 was bluey to me by far the best looking wal ever made, this was built for bill zorn when this came up for auction mike beat me to it i was so gypsy's kissed off, esp when i had sold him 4 of my wals, but... hes a nice guy, but i still want it so bad. the other is Henry thomas's G&L i would love that it was the first G&L i had seen, and it all started righ here
  4. Funny you should say that 🙂 i use to think it began with a C edited...
  5. it will indeed, as Beethoven and Carl orff is played today, music is here to stay in all its forms. in fact one thing i recommend when i am teaching is start to write your own songs as soon as you can, no matter how silly they seem. Its the only thing you can leave here when you are gone, keeping your name alive FOORRRREVVVVEEEERRRRRRR 🙂 some one in the future will deffo look as too where it came from 🙂 untill the earth is sucked into the sun, or the Rothschilds finish us all off first 😞
  6. I just seen mine in another topic and came here to say ... " what a load of crap, get rid" and seen this topic. SO.... what a load of crap, get rid its blocking peoples pic. I cant now see what bass newfoundfreedom has to see if he is worthy of a reply 🙂 Dam.
  7. Roland Dr880. i still have my trusty AKAI z4 sampler with the 8 output card on the back, which is just killer. but for getting tracks down with sounds as good as the Vdrums ( which i have also td12 and for old school td5). ease of programing, with more kits than you can shake a stick at, then my go to for the last 15+ years is the Roland Boss DR880. its up there with the best available today enough worth looking into.
  8. OWWWWWWWWWW sell it me or im sending the management round with the wilkinsons freshly stropped. 🙂 Joking aside that one is prob the best one iv seen condition wise on the planet at the mo, i was so sick i missed it i even got intouch with the seller and told him to fwd my ebay name incase the buyer ever sold it. ! ahhh well,... you should be right proud of that, is it to be played live or a stay at home bass ?
  9. Hi Dad, i was still using it till recently when i looked into it, it seems to be a widely known problem googling it, i always did wonder why it was never the same. christ i went through all sorts thinking it was the exported track, so i got it explained to me by someone in the know i will have a look at Foobar2000, thanks for that
  10. Hi all, just i case anyone has come across this problem... To all them using "windows media player" too check out your finished track ! ! there is a process before you listen to your song on headphones or monitors much MUCH more important to the sound if you have converted your song to wav or mp3 to hear how it sounds on your PC. ok this does not apply to people using apple. if you are using " windows media player " to play your tracks on it wont matter what you use to hear the track cans or speakers because it will sound dull and lifeless and nothing like what you exported out of your cubase prootools reaper or anything else. did you ever wonder why your songs sound sh!t once you had exported it when using WMP ? the answer is WMP its self, its awfull. as a test download "quick time" and do an A,B test or even check out the mix you had in your daw against playing the exported version in WMP, its shocking the amount of loss WMP does to the track. to proove its not the exporting of the track, you can try this.. export your track to say a wav file then inport it as a new track into your daw and listen, you will hear very little if any loss. so... my bit of advice is before the cans V monitors test, get a good sounding player able to play your track as it came out of your daw. something that uses ASIO maybe.
  11. ??? thanks, glad you could contribute something to the post.
  12. Gorgeous one just sold on ebay UK last april, i had it watched but missed the auction as i was driving back from bristol so missed it or it would of been on my wall, i was so pi@@sed off cus i really wanted it, ahh well, anyone here buy it ? another clip, george Anderson from shackattack before his JayDee days with a black i think L2000E
  13. yea, there is a few of mine on that list 🙂 and an early one iv had since the 80s thats not,
  14. most basses in that price range are good now days, try a few, and go for the one that YOU like best, dont be a sheep. Good advice ? the best bit of advice i can only offer is... There is no such thing as "god given talent" everyone that is good has put time and effort into it. Period. you cant pull anything out the hat that you did not put there in the first place.... so my advice ? its a time thing, put the time in and you will get the rewards, there is NO shortcuts.
  15. No words are needed, just give her this....:-) Joking aside, If ever you get asked " What do you think ?" the only way is to say something, and just be honest, as said she genuinely might not know, so can take two routes , A, take the good advice and try and do something about it, help even, show her intervals, or B, call you a tosser and henceforth always be a bad singer, in which case she will find out eventually, and remember your good advice
  16. Hello All, just thought i would give a shout out to to the amazing talents of Doug wilkes. very little is known about dougs work by the most, but is in the more pro level shell we say, circles, doug is based in KEEL just off the M6 doug has made guitars and basses for the likes of dave gilmour and sting and is a true custom builder of guitars and basses in that he does not have a template of one or two designs with a few options, doug will build you ANYTHING no matter how bizar, want a half mandolin half strat with a harp over the top doug will make it. He has been doing his thing for a loooong time now and has come up with some amazing designs, i remember in the late 80s a friend having a half fretted half fretless stick bass with slap plates at the begining of the neck to save the strings chewing up the wood, a great design, i was round his last night picking up a bass ( more later) where he produced one of these amazing things with a more modern john east preamp in, a really strange unique design ( its one of these i think sting has) so, my fender jazz fotoflame has on it the most amazing slim 62 neck which i love, but always though the body was a bit light and so not giving the low notes that tight bottom end which i love in my wal and G&Ls so guessing this was down to weight when i went to pick up my G&L he had done i got doug to have a look the fotoflame is starting to peel and is badly cracked on the body so something needed to be done, he looked at it and said wait there, he came back with a slab of flame maple he had brought back with him from the usa years ago and said iv had this sitting around for a while now just waiting for the right job, and this is it, so a very very very reasonable priced was agreed, and left the jazz with him and my goodfellow to do a laquer crack, He is just ordering some nice wood from the usa so next in line is a flame maple jazz neck a replica of this 62 to go on the nice body he has made then i will put back together the fotoflame as original and hay presto i get a quality jazz based on the one i like, just as a side note here when you look on ebay for these fotoflame jazz basses and strats what you will find is loads of fotoflame strat bodies as guitar players have also jumped on to how good the necks are to play and are picking them up just for the necks then getting bodies made, then selling the bodies i think also the pickups on the strats are very good so also kept. sorry back to the story...I went to pick it up yesterday and here it is, turnaround less than 4 weeks, on the rear is heavy ASH and on the front is not just a veneer ohh no not good enough for doug, but a SLAB of flame maple bookmatched that half the thickness of the body all hand carved to get that rounded arm corner, he coulkd of split the slab into 3 and made 3 tops out of it easy, tried to show this in a pic, what you cant see is the finish its like a piece of glass 🙂 here also is my G&L L2000-E he did, before and after im really made up with both of them thanks so much doug your a star.

  17. ebay are getting more greedy by the year, remember when you sold some thing for £10 + £5 post you was only charged 10% on your sell value not the post, but now as yall know they charge 10% on the full £15 you get, so now everyone had to put there post price up by 10% and what ever % paypall charge, fair enough so the only person who is loosing out here is the buyer, they are having to pay the extra if you put the extra on, if you do not it comes out of your pocket, which goes into ebays pocket thank you very much. I was selling classic car parts all over the world, selling heavy stuff overseas was a real pain in the crack, like post to austraila in my case once was £85 ! for something i sold for £30, this is where people take the pi@@, once they get the items they just say " not what i was expecting" or "there is a fault" i dont want it, , " please can i return it?" knowing you have to pay them their money back, and now your £85 out of pocket for what you spent on the post AND you have to give them £85 to get it back as well, so if you want it back it will cost you £170 or even more if the post price is higher , so they keep it, and get their refund. then they bar you from bidding on any of their stuff so you cant do it back to them. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR iv had my fill of ebay, Rant now over,,,,
  18. uww eerrr misses, you should sell that idea to mrs whiplash's emporium of perverse sexual practices for frustrated deviants and adnormal social fcuk ups. ... that reminds me, i must renew my membership !
  19. i am not sure this will do for apple owen, but there is a guy on ebay selling off a few of the M-Audio R8, 8in and 8 out, with routing options, with an external power supply, i got one to move my stereo mix from my d8b digi mixer to cubase via smpte to master and im very happy with it i am using it with windows 7 and cubase 5, and the driver works well in both, i offered the guy £50 for it so he will except £50, but check if you can get a driver for apple in case you are looking at it, but its a great little box i now use for all sorts of things. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174624315297?hash=item28a86b97a1:g:XBMAAOSwcW9fx2KM
  20. as new, 1X speaker, i got two of these for a fender twin and never used them, for bass or guitar, bargain at 30 16ohm so if you use two in a cab then its 8ohm for a pair
  21. haha, WOW WOW WOW, hold on there luv, i will foot the ladder while you reach for the E tuner. :-)
  22. hi jazz , it wont sound any different, its purely looks, unless you change the tone cap value, otherwise its still the same pickups going through a carbon track pot, show me the back side of it and i will send you a mod for it while you are putting it in, wont make it sound better but will be much more reliable 🙂
