WalMan

Looks like it got [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370016943985"]sold straight on[/url] at a nice fat £250 markup. Nice work if you can get it

[quote name='BlueBear' post='123992' date='Jan 20 2008, 05:52 PM']Back at a small pub just outside Bordon, Hants last night.[/quote] Which one was that? We used to do the Royal Oak Passfield - which I think has completely gone now - and another nearby that had shades of Deliverance last time we were ther. Mind you that was probably 10 years ago now As for tonight / last night worked for me. New gear, new songs, first one back since mid December, minus keys / 2nd guitarist, but a crowd that seemed pretty much up for it, so all in all good fun & blew some cobwebs away

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='128502' date='Jan 27 2008, 12:47 AM']Brilliant gig tonight Al and the new G&K L2500 sounded and looked great! Once you get it set up as you want it, it'll be even better... The encore section was especially good; 'All The Young Dudes', 'Walk This Way', 'Word Up' and 'School's Out' - excellent! Sorry I had to miss the last song but I was absolutely cream crackered from getting in at 3am the night before from my own gig, so I decided to head off quietly before all your fans started streaming out of the pub! Anyway, really enjoyed it and will see you soon no doubt! Nik[/quote] Cheers Nik. First one back for a month or so, a load of new songs (that seemed to go ok) and down to Guitar bass drums & vox as neither the keys, nor the stand in guitarist were available. Still Kev, Max & I have done enough gigs in that lineup not to worry toooooo much. The space (both sonic, and physical) is quite nice Only missed White Punks - which they insisted on and which I did with the Wal. Most confusing as I have got used to playing it on the 5 and forgotten the positions with the Hipshot switched down on the Wal. Yup I think once Graham has done his thing with the L2500 it will sit really nicely in the mix. Not as zingy as the SUB, well perhaps not at the mo, but it felt like a really good solid sound for the stuff we do

Another year.

Another for E2's. I use them for my IEM. Unfortunately thy have gone back up to £45 on Play.com now though they seem to have been replaced by the SE series now? Also Westone UM1's which are similar - though I have to say I found some problems using those that I put down to the jack

[quote name='Mokl' post='107114' date='Dec 20 2007, 02:27 PM']Thumbs up for Strings & Things (UK importer of Musicman). Always helpful, and they sent me free allen keys![/quote] +1 to that. Always helpful & always seem willing to root around in the misc spares box & pop small items in the post pretty much by return [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='107372' date='Dec 20 2007, 10:25 PM']And some years back, before things got difficult, Pete (The Fish) Stevens and Ian (Wal) Waller at Wal were just brilliant at looking after their customers![/quote] and that. Spent a couple of agreeable afternoons taking my Pro1 for an overhaul then picking it up converted to Custom a few weeks later. Shame it has all got so difficult for Pete now, but good to hear things may be starting up in a limited way [quote name='woodster' post='110118' date='Dec 28 2007, 08:59 AM']GAK in Brighton - Ordered a Markbass 104HF cab but the 4 Ohm was a special order. Mark at Gak got no help from the distributor and so hounded the factory and got one into the country in 3 days!!![/quote] and that. Always a pleasure to chat with & without high pressure/must make a sale

Do you think one of his tutors told him to take down the photo with the ACM bag in it? It seems to have disappeared

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='125047' date='Jan 21 2008, 09:39 PM']Back to bass after 23 years.....it's like the Prodigal Son returning Welcome Karl.[/quote] Welcome. Anyone remember where we left the fatted calf? Never mind just get a tinny from the fridge

[quote name='NickThomas' post='125103' date='Jan 21 2008, 10:44 PM']That's a real shame John , you missed the last one too . I'm not 100% if I can go yet either ... It's only 3 weekends before my wedding , so I really have to make sure I'm up to speed on that side of things first. Fingers X'd[/quote] Nick, surely all you have to do is get there and make sure neither you nor the best man a toooooo p155ed Just me then

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='125064' date='Jan 21 2008, 09:55 PM']Bass wise, I think some of us should refrain from saying what we're going to bring because there' still over 2 months of buying/selling time in between But, I'll be bringing the Roscoe Beck V and my Wal for definite..[/quote] Count me in matey BTW, need any wood? I suddenly have a large supply of 2x4

For crying out loud - that's an ACM gig bag!! Is there no one on his course that could have a word

Hopefully I can make this Would probably bring: [list] [*]Markbass CMD121H combo [*]Wal Pro1 (converted to Custom) [*]Whatever else I may have at the time [/list] I could also bring my old 60's Marshall Superbass 100, but have no cab for it (as #2 son uses it as a guitar amp) and would need something to plug it into if so otherwise it's a bit of a heavy beastie to be lugging around

[quote name='Clive Thorne' post='124561' date='Jan 21 2008, 01:15 PM']What exactly goes on? Is it aimed a a particular level (i.e Will I feel a complete plonker because I'm not particularly good?)[/quote] You can keep me company on the latter front The SE Bash was a chance for everyone to get together with a load of gear, try stuff out and put names to faces - and a good laugh it was too. Not like the Guitar show at Wembley or wherever with thousands of guitarists half pulling off their most impressive licks. Sadly gigwise for me March is a desert at the moment. As for days I vote for whatever Nik votes for as possible nominated for the South Coast charananc

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='124308' date='Jan 21 2008, 01:18 AM']I didn't know that Nufin to do wiv me tho', Guv! Honest! BTW, have you arrived at G&L central yet?[/quote] Nearly. I was just planning a large sheet for Saturday to keep you in suspense

This is just greedy Nik - three threads and counting.

I was a bit worried I couldn't see anything from me - then I realised Nik has T[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=4614"]WO feedback threads[/url] - the greedy boy

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='122867' date='Jan 18 2008, 02:17 PM']+1 It's well worth doing.. At the SE Bash last August, I learnt a great deal, had a good laugh and made some good friends too.. plus got to try out loads of great basses and amps. So, I'm definitely going to try to be at the one in Northampton which should be fine provided there's nothing absolutely unmoveable in the family/work diary. Perhaps some of us south coast Basschatters could travel up together?? I can get a bus for £55 per day + petrol that seats 10 people and would still have plenty of room for gear, if anyone's interested.. Nik[/quote] Do we have to sing Summer Holiday all the way?
