  1. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  2. really inspiring video, do you find the membership worth the money chris b? looks like a good site with lots of ideas for healthy pondering.
  3. http://www.mi-pro.co.uk/news/read/bass-gear-teams-up-with-jamiroquai-bassist/015892 same 3+2 headstock, would'nt put it past being a fodera NYC.... sounds amazing!
  4. as said before depends on sound. If your going to keep it passive i preferred lindy fralin over wizard. Just sounded a bit more old school R&B to me, which for motown and stax ect is brilliant. Also the slap tone with some good steel strings is very freddie washington
  5. i had no idea there were so many rockers on basschat! im not going to say who A is, i cant believe no-one's got it! I tried to choose 3 very contrasting images and i think i was almost there. Letter C is indeed Guy Pratt
  6. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1319115257' post='1410079'] None of them really... And I don't even know who the guy on the right is. [/quote] what is it about them you dont relate to bigred? [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1319115460' post='1410087'] The bald one who plays with a plectrum. [/quote] can you guess who it is ad?
  7. right guys heres the deal. In this picture there are 3 bass players. They are ordered A-C (left to right). So what you have to do is pick one that you think best represents you (as a person and a bass player) and two that dont. So for example. If it was a picture of a bird (A), a plane (B ), or a motorbike (C ), victor wooten would say he is a A and not B & C because he's a spiritual nut. Also give your reasons for your choice :-) [attachment=91584:research bass players.jpg]
  8. hi guys, weve now got 2 of the 4 songs we recorded 2 weeks ago on our facebook page. [url="http://www.facebook.com/ninemilessouth"]www.facebook.com/ninemilessouth[/url] not going to lie its classic rock and is very guitar driven, so iv not got any bass fills or my usual licks in there. still feedback on the songwriting/recording quality would be great. Recordings were done with a mex p bass strung with la bella hard rockers, through a hartke lh500 and then we used the hartke DI and a hx112 which was miced with an AKG D112.
  9. play that funky music (white boy) wild cherry's
  10. tell you what stingray pete like my band nine miles south on facebook, the new recordings should be on there by monday and you can teach these "kids" at your work that classic rock can be revived :-)
  11. that bass was on with no reserve a few days ago and was only at 600 with 5 days to go! shame he obviously realised it was worth a lot more when he saw the new kings road lot
  12. just compared the specs of the p basses (classic vs RW) and they're all the same so it is just the looks thats different. These RW basses do seem to sound killer although i cant buy one as the dakota red custom shop i tried has made everything iv played since slightly less enjoyable than they should be.
  13. when buying these basses from dealers such as nick guitars you have a bit of protection. As its a registered company it must offer you services and guarantee's that a private seller can get away with not offering. You pay a bit more but feel safer about parting with such an amount of money.
  14. [quote name='Simon' timestamp='1317465584' post='1390932'] I had one identical! Know who the previous owners were? Lovely bass....best of luck with the sale! [/quote] only previous owners i know for definate are molan and psychoandy from here. Although Andy said he bought i from a shop somewhere near Ipswich. Again only selling because i need a car to get the better paid gigs. Also i may consider a trade for a Tanglewood overwater 5 with £950 going my way
  15. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1317214190' post='1388133'] Don't wear pants or socks. More space saved. [/quote] and time ;-)
  16. did a short tour in cornwall over the summer. Lessons learnt; fish and chips down there are damm tastey. Also, take swimming shorts as you never know when you will need them and when the time comes that you need them and dont have any.. You either need to pay well over the top for some new ones, buy asda ones that look like they were styled for angus young or wear boxers and casual shorts and be uncomfortable for the rest of the day
  17. 35" and weight im unsure of but it feels somewhere between 8 and 9 pounds. Really light for a 5 string!
  18. yh im playing on silver slaps, the effect of the rosin is gone within 10-15 minutes of playing
  19. just want to know what the recommended usage is. cheers, Ollie
  20. just bought a hartke cab off alex. Really easy to deal with, great communication. If i had read this before i would have invited him in and asked for a wooten demonstration cheers for a great cab at a great price alex, Ollie
  21. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1316538921' post='1379432'] I see , I have asked for a possible buy it now price so I can try and get an accurate cost, if he gives me an idea I will add 25% then, What happens when it comes here, where would it end up etc? Thanks [/quote] wait outside the airport with a sign that says "musicman" and see how many funny looks you get :-P
