[quote name='BurritoBass' post='921169' date='Aug 11 2010, 12:35 AM']You'll find a fair selection at Tin Pan Alley in London (a street full of music shops) BUT I wouldn't buy from them - too expensive and rude service. Dawsons in Reading has a reasonable selection - it depends how many you want to try. If you are new to bass I'd always advise playing what you buy as opposed to buying online.[/quote] Do you mean denmark street? If so i wouldnt buy from bass cellar but i would have no issues with buying or trying stuff out in wunjos. The guys in there are brilliant and their gear isnt too expensive. [quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='921221' date='Aug 11 2010, 06:21 AM']while in london surely The Gallery is worth a visit [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/[/url] [/quote] +1, best customer service iv ever had and my favourite shop in the world

The first thing iv noticed when playing a warwick is the good standard in build quality, well compared to fenders. The pickups and pre amp are great, all the hardware works perfectly, and finishes are smooth with no issues. Bad points; some neck dive on my thumb although this isnt a huge problem to me, the sound on the fretted warwicks i played wasnt quite to my taste, the looks are also a love or hate thing

well to be honest guy i had only heard of you from the sophie ellis bexter song murder on the dance floor, but two standard questions for you 1) what has been your favourite moment in your career, can be bass related or not 2) Would you like to buy my ashdown combo? Pm me if you do

thats a beautiful bass

[quote name='scottaylor' post='919285' date='Aug 9 2010, 09:05 AM']its the sound im after i had a www web shop that when u clicked on the bass it gave the music it played in stiles i carnt finde it for the life of me[/quote] I havnt ever seen a website that does that, but if you find a music clip on youtube (maybe a song) that has a similar sound of what you like then we can all suggest basses that will sound like that

[quote name='scottaylor' post='919140' date='Aug 8 2010, 11:00 PM']i have been on the web site for my vintage bass but dose not say what my 4 nobs are for and how to use them now 1 of them is the volum[/quote] It could either be volume, treble, mid range, bass or if it has two pickips this is more likely, volume, pickup blend, treble, bass

[quote name='Johnston' post='918357' date='Aug 7 2010, 09:28 PM']I love my Epi T-bird it just looks, feels and sounds the part[/quote] Maybe theres no such thing as a bad bass? Just a bass that doesnt suit what you want out of a bass. But im sorry johnston, i couldnt play any of the music i wanted to play on it so it went for the ashdown amp, which i dont really like since i got the hartke rig. But thats a whole different topic

Im gonna get some gripe for this, but the epiphone thunderbird i had was useless for everything but the reason i bought it....To look like the origional bassist from The Darkness

[quote name='allighatt0r' post='918147' date='Aug 7 2010, 05:16 PM']My ears perk up every time this advert starts on the telly. What song is this? What bass is this? How do I get this lovely tone?!?! [/quote] 70's p bass, pick and a boss odb3 should do it

[quote name='MythSte' post='917250' date='Aug 6 2010, 06:06 PM']Hi, Im Stephen, Im 19 years old and Im an addict... This is my newly acquired funk/groove/small rig And here is my hairy chest balls out rig with this bass; No longer have the shuttle, it was too small to be rock and roll [/quote] Is the fender classic 70's bass? I played on one and it was amazing. The rigs awsome too. Il put some pics up of my stuff when i get a new cab Hurry up hartke and give me a 112

[quote name='Rich' post='917553' date='Aug 6 2010, 11:28 PM']That Coppolo's tone is to die for. Absolutely gorgeous, and so very high in the mix! Wonderful stuff. Is there any way of ripping the audio out of this? I'm having no luck in saving the video file either.[/quote] Theres a software you can download for free that copies video and sound off youtube vids and saves it, maybe it can do the same for windows media? Dont know what the softwares called though

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='916927' date='Aug 6 2010, 01:10 PM']Thanks for that. This is what he says: "My gig pedals include a 70s Mutron, 70s Bass Balls, EH Micro Synth, Boss Octave, Bass Flanger, MXR Driver and Auto Q."[/quote] sounded abit like a bassballs in the solo, cant tell the difference between all them filters though

The 90's stingrays are really amazing value for money. Usually on here for £6-700. Having said that went all out for a new one instead of a sub and its the best decision iv ever made

[quote name='daz' post='916501' date='Aug 5 2010, 10:40 PM']i tried that and it saves as a tiny .asx file less than ikb in size. I am on my brothers stupid computer and it wont let me do anything in 'guest' mode. If i just click it it starts up in windows media player. any way of saving it in that ? Can anyone help ?[/quote] thats the same file as iv got, and it works fine for me :S

Im in the market to buy my first double bass and i saw that thwaites in watford had a few in my price range. Anyone had any dealings with them or know anything about them?

Yes i saw that, it must be an amazing bass because when i saw them he had his 66 jazz bass next to him and he never touched it. Maybe one day when im touring

[quote name='kets' post='916381' date='Aug 5 2010, 08:44 PM']Top stuff! Is it possible to download this into Windows Media Player?[/quote] yes, when clicking on the link, right click and click save target as

[quote name='cheddatom' post='916000' date='Aug 5 2010, 02:17 PM']I don't plug my studio PC into the net - just an idea.[/quote] A technician found that the sources of the viruses on this laptop were from windows wordpad and windows movie maker. They had been embeded before i bought the laptop and from looking on google im not the only person who has suffered because of vista.

The 55-02 i played on was a very pleasent bass, ok to play on, not a bad feel, good build quality. But that was it. I like my stingray because it has a beefy neck and it really barks when you dig in, the p bass is like an old man in an armchair and delieveres a really warm sound, the warwick is like a smooth criminal, really crisp sound. The 55-02 for me, was like an accountant, a bit dull. (no offence to accountants)

[quote name='budget bassist' post='915551' date='Aug 5 2010, 03:31 AM']Aye, i should be getting the full grant or most of it. I'm going to try not to spend it on crap like bass gear or a games console or whatever like a few people i know have. I refuse to have to use my overdraft.[/quote] Thats a good plan, im stuck in the debt rut and have been all year But heck im a bassist and if i can pluck 4 strings and make them sound cool i can do jsut about anything edit: cant spell though (just)

[quote name='mikeselfinflicted' post='916145' date='Aug 5 2010, 04:18 PM']hey peeps!!! In about 3 months time i should have saved about 3k its taken forever!!!!
