Cheers. I'll get right on it.

Fender Rumble 100?

Tell us about a lower price...

Anyone know why the box for the video is empty on my computer and i get a small symbol up in the top left hand corner? Sorry to hijack the thread, it happens a lot on basschat to me.

hi mate, welcome. Hope to see more of u on the forums.

My first bass. Not anything special but if someone wants it for a project or anything I'd be happy to let it go for about £120, maybe/probably less. It's got one jazz pickup and one p-bass pickup. Don't really have a need for it now. In the words of Stevie Wonder, I'm moving on to higher ground - an American P bass.
Here's a pic of one. Mine has a small chip on the top of the body which is conveniently covered by the arm when playing!

Although I have never tried it myself, I can't imagine there would be any damage. The finish on basses is normally waterproof. If the bass wasn't plugged in I can't see the electrics being damaged either. As long as the bass isn't left wet then there shouldn't be a risk of rust or warping. Don't quote me on that though.

Guitard for someone who can fret w*** think they are brilliant, that everyone else comes second to the fact they are making a twat of themselves in front of everyone.

so for me it is not childish it actually has a place in the English language.[/quote]

If this was for sale in August (after my GCSE results) £550 would be yours now! Nice Bass.

Any chance at all of cash purchase-no worries if not possible. I'm in Surrey so pretty near.

Hi and welcome from a fellow noob. Are u the only bassist in Finland?

I'm thinking of a getting a Fender in the summer and thought since I'll only get about £100 for the old bass is it worth defretting it. Considering I'm not really very experienced in this sort of thing is it a good idea? Suggestions please. It's an Aria IGB-40 btw, bought for £180.

Cash my gold in the background, lol. Can't get a picture of the tv without it.

Go for something off ebay might be a good idea. Otherwise have a look at Kustom. I've got one and find it's very good and they cost around £60 i think. I guess other people will have better suggestions though.

Where are you? Is pick-up possible?

Been listening to 'Them Bones' by Alice in Chains -in 7/8. Also, i think Soundgarden use a weird time signature in 'Black Hole Sun'.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='817992' date='Apr 25 2010, 12:28 PM']My point exactly. People confuse production, presentation, performance, genre etc with whether a song is good or not so good. So changing the genre etc can be very revealing.


I really like the Cake version of [i]I Will Survive[/i]:

Still for sale? Will have to wait till july though, if thats possible

What dyou mean

Thanks for your help-it is much appreciated.

Welcome from a fellow newbie!

I'm guessing you can tune by harmonics. You can use the 12th fret of what is normally the e string and the 12th fret of the d. Play the harmonic on both strings. You will hear fast oscillations. Flatten the e string till the vibrations slow. When you reach the right pitch they should totally stop and you have one continuous hum. To tune back play the harmonics on the fifth of the lowest string and the seventh of the a and tune up till the oscillations stop. Hope that makes sense.

I'm liking it. Gets a thumbs up from me- post some more videos.

[quote name='alanbass1' post='810816' date='Apr 18 2010, 10:00 PM']The MM is active for a start - and not a particularly good pre-amp judging by the one I tried a few years back. Are you talking about the US Standard - if so there is quite a lot of differences. The main ones being that US Standard has:

Passive electronics
High mass bridge
Through body stringing
Graphite re-inforced necks
Lightweight tuners
Typically an alder body (as opposed to Ash)
Comes with case[/quote]
Thank you alanbass. Have you tried a standard USA jazz bass and which gets your vote

I'm thinking about getting a jazz bass in the summer. What are the differences between the marcus miller signature and the standard jazz bass? Your comments are valued (unless they feature the 'word' 'lol' or excessive smileys).
