I certainly DID read the notification about backing up PM's because all messages will be lost. That's why I have, you know, backed up my PM's before the switch over date. BassChat did it's best to let everyone know. I managed to get the message ok and I was under piles and piles of vomit these last couple of weeks.

Slight damage to the underneath. Fitted with Straplocks. I think we can guess the order in which these events happened.

This thread title sounds like it’s something to do with a purchase from an Anne Summers catalogue. Just sayin’.

Honestly, I don't mind the feedback. I know there are things to clean up and sort and I'll do all I can, if I still had hair I would be pulling it out. Thing is though, I saw this forum software before all the issues and once the performance cracks on it'll fly along and is a lovely smooth experience. Some stuff I didn't anticipate I'll try to add in as long as it doesn't clutter things up or slow it down too much. The nicest thing for everyone involved will be the fact that now we have supported software where we're in the driving seat, if there's a popular feature that people want then we can look into that! Ultimately, we love the forum and it's the members that make it up, it's nothing without our community after all.

This is easy, for two reasons. Reason 1 - The Birdies Song (Portsmouth Radical Club 24/12/1978) Reason 2 (same night) - a member of the audience (dancing to the same number) died on the dance floor. Over to you, everyone! :-)

I’ve taken a dep in a couple of weeks, which will involve me playing ‘Quando, Quando , Quando’ in a social club. 30 years of graft for this. Shoot me now. :-D

I've not had a chance to watch this properly yet myself so don't I don't know if it's a good watch or not but anything that shines a spotlight on the often under-appreciated John Deacon has to be worth at least a look.

New site is beautiful and a pleasure to use , well done! Pity about the PMs - they were useful for sale & trade history. Fortunately I managed to find most of my conversations in my gmail, using search term: basschat personal conversation May be helpful to others

I'd like to just say thanks for all of the efforts in improving site. Having worked on system upgrades for the last 20 years I know how difficult they can be and the problems faced. Hopefully the majority of users won't be impacted by the lost pm's and can appreciate the benefits of the new features.

Feedback is fine. The unconstructive whingeing isn't

I decided to ' like ' 3 of my own posts. I now have a rep of 3. I might like me a bit more to show what a spankingly good dude i am.

My posts aren't liked

She only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain .

It's because "plays like cabbage" doesn't sound as good.

SSL certificate is high priority but we couldn't organise it until the site was already live with the correct server and domain. It's on the list! @ped - if it's not on the list can you put it on the list? ?

Undoubtedly the best sounding and playing bass I've ever owned. Shortly followed by..... I've decided it's just not for me. !!!!

They're a right dodgy bunch of bastards!

Let's see if I can fly it from me phone.

Oh no you used "ohms" instead of Hz, TimR will be all over you, lol.

I’ve definitely been guilty of a couple of these ?

@Phil_T I never use the buttons either. There's a marked increase in volume using the silver box Behringer instead of just plugging into the mixer. Since I mainly play a single coil P-bass with flats I appreciate the kick in volume,

Your wife? Ok we believe you..... ??

Thanks chaps. Notifications all working

For me the bump button is here

Onto the final tasks while the gloss varnish hardens enough to polish it up (about 2 weeks from last coat) The main one was levelling, recrowning and polishing the frets. Done I'm pleased the subtle figuring in the ebony still shows after the final treatment

This Friday I'll be seeing our fellow basschatter Bobby Kewley playing bass for The Christians & Altered images on a triple bill with Midge Ure! Sunday will be Mr Big at Shep Bush, then hopefully next Friday Cloudbusting (Kate Bush tribute) at Putney. After that, possibly Simply Dan in Raynes Park on the Sunday.... Corduroy in Guildford on the following Friday and then Airrace/Lionheart in Camden on the Saturday! Phew....!!

Yeah I'm trying to work that bleeder out looks like it's possibly just this section though!

What about posting a sticky all over the forums. ? " Stop the unconstructive whingeing. We're on it. "

Super Furry Animals ? I can smell a rat. Surely one of their friends or relatives compiled this list. They might just scrape into the top twenty bands from Wales. Another questionable inclusion would have to be T Rex. And Radiohead at 3 ? Such lists seem to have been put together by music critics of broadsheet newspapers, who want to rewrite the story of rock music to fit their own pretentious agenda. Thats why bands like Iron Maiden have been conspicuously omitted. They don't fit into their airbrushed view of history, despite being one of the biggest selling and most influential British bands ever. To be honest with you, I can't stand their music myself, but nonetheless Maiden are surely much more important than most of the bands on this list.

Losing data is the basic principle of computer based systems, once understood, backup(s) begin(s) to become an evidence... Stop being assisted, don't trust anything computer based and ACT ! I think I'll start the MYAL (Move Your Ass League).

Full disclosure- Unless you want to advertise stuff for sale.

That might be because the site is rather slow at the moment. My current strategy for all posts is to copy everything I've typed before hitting the "Post" or "Reply" buttons and then waiting for a response from the site before doing anything else. IME if you wait long enough the post will eventually appear. If the site does throw a wobbly you will have everything you typed still on the clipboard so you can simply paste it into a new reply.

Wife? That looks like something the husband might get, in this household, while the wife usually sticks to black or natural...

If that is the case, that's disappointing, especially since I raised the issue on the site migration thread (from the old forum) and was assured that the new editor would be even better than the old one. So if I type a post where my BB tags are technically correct but don't give the result I was hoping for how can I edit them so that they do? I know that now most software is so fully featured the only way the writers can justify upgrades is to make it easier to use for the technologically challenged, but it would be nice if the "power user" features could be retained. Besides IMO if someone really wants to be able to use a feature, they really ought to take the time to learn how to make it work for them.

I'm with FuNkShUi on this..... OK, it probably wouldn't be my first choice of colour / design... but I do quite like it, I must admit Funny thing is, I have a sneaking suspicion my wife wouldn't like it... lol EDIT: Please do tell - how much did the price come out at? Just askin'

Love it! Out of interest, what price did that come out at?

Every forum I have been on with reputation uses it that way - it tends to be a club to have the 'well, my opinion matters more than yours as I have a higher reputation'

I went with a “set and forget’ approach as I too don’t want to be messing around more than playing. I spent about 5 mins adjusting the trims, but actually found the setting I liked within 2 mins. I know the bass well so it wasn’t hard for me to find it (whilst having the treble and bass slightly boosted). The mid point on the internal trims is at 12 o clock according to the manual, both dials came set at 10 o clock, I’m not sure if that’s deliberate. John was a great guy to email, I had some questions, so I’m sure he’ll answer the factory preset question for you. Now I just use minor tweaks to the bass and treble control, they are very reactive, And the passive tone knob works during active mode too - so you can still get some old school ‘muffled’ bass, if you know what I mean?!

Remember, You're A Womble.

What you don't know is that charic has sold the film rights of the kebab guide to Disney, and is trying to cover it up by pretending that it's "gone missing"...

"I opened the amp and gave it a quick hoover" is about as much as a pro-service most amps get. If it ain't broke and all that.

What metal are the parts made out of? Nickel will age reasonably quickly, especially if you rough it up with a scouring pad first. Chrome however, not so much so. In fact, probably not at all. You need a different approach with Chrome. Similarly with x coated brass (depending on what x is)

And then you realise that the ad has "Mint and unplayed" at the top, with "literally plays itself" at the bottom... ..which is lucky..

Jimmy Lea, ex of Slade, on Sunday afternoon at The Robin in Bilston. He was premiering his new DVD of his one and only solo gig. Did a one hour Q&A session with the crowd, spoke at length of his current battle with prostate cancer and how his hormone treatment affects his breathing, his throat and fitness due to muscle wastage. He then excused himself to "look for some notes" and came back on with his treasured black Strat and with the help of backing tapes and much support from the 300 crowd he belted through four Slade classics. I didn't see a dry eye in the house. What a bloody trooper!!
