  1. I knew as soon as I played it that my 79 p bass was one day going home with me. Totally agree with the "feels like coming home after a long journey" that people have said. It totally does! It does everything I want it to, I love even the things that others might pick up on as faults; to me those little buzzes and what have you are just part of its personality. The idea of getting rid of it is totally ludicrous, and as much as I am completely over the moon excited about the arrival of my overwater jazz (which Im actually selling basically all of my other basses other than the p in order to fund the small amount i need to put towards it) I know that the p will always feel like home. just wish I felt the same about my hubby LOOOL kidding
  2. Yay i have an endorsement deal with them and cannot agree more, they are the nicest most helpful and honest people I've met. Totally feel like they have my back and didn't push me into needless 'custom' add-ons just for the sake of it when putting my order in for my endorsement instrument. CANNOT WAIT for my bass: 32" vintage white 4 string jazz series. With torte scratch plate, white pearl block inlays, matching head stock and electrical stuff that I cant really remember lol. Getting it in may. Very happy to represent them, chuffed to bits that they came to me too!! x
  3. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1330513855' post='1558540'] This thread is actually more embarrasing than when a girl joins and everyone reverts to being 14 year old virgins. [/quote] I dont think everyone reverted to 14 year old virgins when I joined. Im hurt now!! lol. come on guys I expected more from you P.s HEY Mani! great to have you aboard mate, hope you have a nice time here. much love xxx
  4. eee! I grew up opposite kneller gardens, also very close to the green. I'll have to look you up next time I'm there and we can meet up for a drink and bass drool at the blucher! This is so exciting. I love Twickers. x
  5. Lol thanks Ray! Hang on a minute your from twickenham?? I grew up there! My mum still lives there too! Where abouts? x
  6. Hey all, Im getting rid of my schecter bass now and so thought I'd post it here to see if there are any takers? Its a great instrument, looks awesome, not tooo heavy, great b string response etc and plays easily. Perfect for any of you rockers! I used to use it for an old heavy rock band of mine but now im primarily in indie or folk circles so its just collecting dust. Couple of scratches and war wounds but nothing major. Going for £300. Preferably pick up (north london based) all though can send if you are willing to pay postage and packaging etc. Let me know if your interested, pictures below!

  7. Probably a bit too young but Im actually really attempted to apply just for the hell of it. I mean imagine if they actually called me up?! x
  8. Hi Jamie, I'd be interested to try out if your still looking? London based pro freelancer, sending you over an email now! Hope all is well. Chlo x
  9. ive got three endorsement deals, string deals with picato and innovation upright strings and a clothing deal with funk rock clothing. Both of those companies I either approached or someone sent a pitch to them for me along with their recommendation. I've also got a recent bass guitar artist deal endorsement with overwater....this time they approached me! Pretty chuffed with that but I think if your gigging enough and nice and approachable then just email them with what your doing and they might get back to you. You'll be surprised at the response you get. Chlo x
  10. [quote name='benebass' timestamp='1324228736' post='1472063'] Small world - my brother & Rob the drummer's brother were in the same class at school! Came to see the band at the Head of Steam up here in Newcastle a while back - great gig! Hope you'll be back up north on your farewell tour - Newcastle's not far from Overwater HQ... Cheers, B. [/quote] Ahhh I know Andrew well, thats so cool! Rob's family are some of the nicest people I've ever met, total sweethearts. I remember doing that show! I think it was on the first tour I did with them, supporting a god awful girl band if I remember correctly no? Dont worry if this farewell tour does actually happen there will definitely be a date up t'north. Most likely to be Barnard Castle for obvious reasons but its going to take a while to organize and get everything running smoothly. So keep you updated. x
  11. ooooh smeg thats awful mate sorry to hear it! will keep a look-out. x
  12. [quote name='benebass' timestamp='1324072171' post='1470689'] Hi - sounds good! I had a 32" scale Jaguar-styled bass made the Bass Doc recently (info [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/150814-bass-doc-electric-iv/"]here[/url]). I love it, but found the shorter scale took a bit of getting used to at first. A cheap way to try an almost 32" scale is to put a capo on a 34" bass at the first fret - might be worth trying that before pushing the button on the build to check it's for you... By the way, [b]did you used to play in Unkle Bob?[/b] Great band! Cheers, B. [/quote] Yes, that was me!! Where did you know us from? It was a really great band for sure, I will miss them dearly. BUT having said that we might be doing a farewell mini tour sometime early next year so there might yet be a chance to say goodbye... [quote name='blackmn90' timestamp='1324080563' post='1470790'] should be similar to this then.... [attachment=95447:overwater 1.jpg] [/quote] yep cant wait soooooooo pretty
  13. [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1324205578' post='1471689'] Do the non musians have a similar clause 'Fishing will not get in the way of work' or 'My mid week drinking session down the bucking duck will not get in the way of work' Alot of people have 'normal' hobbies they can take to the extreme. I've known guys throw sickies over pigeons or tropical fish. One of mates Dads would go around the UK showing chickens. He bred them to sell too and when he gave up showing he went to the same shows as a judge. Also if he pulled that clause here to some of the guys I worked with who were in pipe bands he would have a discrimination suit on his desk before close of business that day. [/quote] +20 thinking back I once got fired for talking about music too much at work...ffs....they asked what I had been up too, so I told them. But the other employers were perfectly happy and allowed to talk shoes or their forensic science degree they were doing to their hearts content! I figured in the end if they were going to be that petty or b**chy then screw em, they weren't worth my time.
  14. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1324146726' post='1471310'] I would look at how the original songs were played. If they're played with a pick then use one, if not then don't. Playing bass lines that were originally played with a pick using fingers (or vice versa) never sounds quite right to me - the articulation is always different. [/quote] this x1000000 if its covers your doing, the band leader will generally want the song to sound like the original recording. I never used to pay much attention to this until I got to uni where they would take marks off the performance if the tone wasn't matching the original....make sure I now pay attention to detail and it seems to be working, more and more band leaders are calling me up for work so cant be a bad thing!
  15. [quote name='Valhalalf' timestamp='1324054555' post='1470414'] I'm surprised by Pete's situation working in a music shop, I would have thought they would be a bit more understanding. [/quote] Sadly Im not surprised at this, I once had a job teaching in the back of a music shop. I had loads of students who absolutely loved me and their parents loved the progress the kids always made. Ended up getting fired from that job for taking too much time off for touring etc....apparently according to the manager the kids didn't need someone who was out their doing it who they could look up to and gain real life knowlege from in the times I was around. What they really (apparently) wanted was some non gigging teacher who was there day in day out to teach scales but felt like gigging life failed them and disuaded the kids from trying it themselves. When the students found out half of them came to me asking for private lessons outside of the shop as they really wanted to keep me as their teacher. But the shop manager put a stop to that too accusing me of stealing all his clients.
