Crowella Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Probably should go an active P-Bass then. It'll cover most bases. I think thats why I enjoyed the American Deluxe so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachWithAnH Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 it doesn't need any work!! Don't ruin it! Needs just a bit of work, really nothing just the replacement of a few screws if that to get it truly playable. I could get a full restoration on it, but I really don't want to spend the money on it.

I have an old guild (not a bass, and it's a 1973 I think) which also has a hole next to the strap button like that. Never understood why it was there, but maybe it was built that way. I'd only really worry about the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewez26 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Bought a digitech Synth Bass Wah which I wasn't sure on buying, but the seller sent an email saying I could return it if I didn't like it. Hopefully will have it not long after christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Last couple of months I have had the shittest luck with Recent Purchases A while ago I bought a Boss TU2 tuner for £40. Never turned up, can't get my money back A while ago I bought an iPhone 4 (pfft counts as a recent purchase). £200, didn't show up, no money back Big Muff £15, still hasn't shown up, but I actually know the guy who sold it to me, so I just need to remind him to fecking send it And to replace the iPhone that never showed up, I got an early xmas present yesterday, which was an iPhone 4. Doesn't work as a phone. YAY Total: £255 and an iPhone that doesn't work as a phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck everything I have never lost anything and i almost never use tracking numbers and priority shipping and other good stuff. Once i got something shipped to Hawai instead of Hungary (when that volcano erupted in new zealand) but then it arrived 2 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Zach that guild bass is really nice Doesn't have the punch and growl of a P bass or the full on scooped Stingray tone. Who has the best bass tone ever? Timmy C What bass does he play? Jazz I got 100% on my own quiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I've just made my second attempt at ordering a Stereo Pulsar. It's cost £5 more than last time, but I really didn't want to have to wait 2-3 months for it. I've had enough of waiting this year, thank you very much. So I'm not sure exactly when I'll get it as it says they hope to dispatch in stock items in one to two days, but hopefully if it's this week, I should be home for most of it. I'm just waiting to get the refund from the last one into my account over the next few days and then I can hopefully get another pedal or two ordered before the MB-1 comes.

james90 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Wasn't really looking to get another drive pedal (especially a tube screamer type) but http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190614591963 I was looking at those a while back, and just saw that pop up on ebay. Supposedly they're getting rare too...the owner apparently died or something, but their website is still running for some reason http://www.smartpeoplefactory.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Still awaiting news of the Stereo Pulsar order being processed but their website says they still have a few in stock so I should be safe. Also just made my second attempt at ordering the Freeze, after I missed out on the last one yesterday after I'd already placed my order. Hopefully I should get both of those in the next week or so, as I'm going with the slower delivery to save a few pounds. I'm also hoping to order a Polytune tomorrow when a bit more money goes into my account, if both of these orders so far are processed without problems. The only problem is that my Pacifica is dead, so I'm going to have to use some Fuzz Factory oscillation to check that the new pedals don't have any problems, like I've had with some of my other orders recently. Should be fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Wish granted. Okay. I'm now holding in my hands, at the library, where a guy from Fedex met me, haha, with a Stereo Pulsar. However, my order of the new one has at no point said that the order is anything other than pending. So I'm now very confused. There's no note who it's from in the package and the address was handwritten. Confused as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Confused as hell. You should probably have this engraved along with your parent's address on a bracelet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
