    Yeah agreed. Unprofessional. I have to admit to issuing a terse exclamation of ‘NO’ from my side of the stage the weekend before last as one of the band members managed to skip a song on the large print set list right in front of them and started playing the intro (only one chord) of the song after it. Only lasted a couple of seconds and I wouldn’t have done it if I was confident everyone would have followed him, but I wasn’t. Funny enough, almost the same thing happened again on Saturday. Singer announced it was the last song of the first set and happened to look to his right to see me doing a very subtle head shake and he caught on immediately.

    This bass ticks a lot of boxes. GLWTS.

    Damnation. I've been looking for one of these over the past few days. @pineweasel- If it falls through, please let me know.

    I thought it was Such as I'd never really questioned/thought about it. I'm actually not surprised it was McDonald at all. I'd be inclined to get that mentioned on the Wiki page if I were him 🤔

    I thought it was Such.

    An Octave pedal has been the most consistent effect I've had over my not inconsiderable years of playing. I foolishly sold my old OC-2 when I had Cog build me a multi effect box including their octaver, but that has recently gone a bit weird. It now sounds more like a distortion pedal than an octave pedal. I've now removed the whole unit from my board as there seems no chance of getting COG to look at it. Guess what? Now I actually need an octaver for some new material I have to learn. I fancy a punt at the Octabvre, but now looks like March 2022. What to do in the meantime 🤷‍♂️

    Ha ha. I was listening to that too. He said it is widely regarded as one of the most well put together bass lines. I have to say I agree with him. Always enjoy playing Livin’ On A Prayer - it’s that key change at the end that does it for me.

    I do like having a go at doing things myself, but this level of shenanigans scares the life out of me. Full of admiration for the craft @Andyjr1515. I shall follow with interest.

    I get it. Sorry you missed out mate. Bass Direct had one in yonks ago and it a hell of a lot cheaper than that eBay one. Wish I had tried it, but I have something very similar, so didn’t. Another one will appear someday I’m sure.

    You love me really x x
  11. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Mmm. Collect only. If I win it, can you pick it up and ship it to me? 🤣
  12. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    You know where I live! You bought a 3U off me and you collected it 😂
  13. hiram.k.hackenbacker

    You and me both then. When did you commission yours?
  16. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Reduced to £90 including UK delivery.
  17. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Very nice and a good find in that condition given its age. I do like a Bongo. Enjoy.

    Now on hold until midnight Friday 29th October 2021. @drTStingrayhas second dibs on it if that falls through.

    For sale only (no trades) for the UK only. Something has come up that necessitates moving a bass on to fund it. Since I have two of these, I'm putting one up for sale. Believe me when I say if I had only one, I wouldn't be letting it go! These Stingrays were made by Ernie Ball to celebrate the 100th NAMM show. They were all manufactured within first couple months of 2001 and a total of 100 were made. 49 stayed in the USA, 49 went overseas, 1 was retained by Ernie Ball and 1 was presented to the NAMM organisers. The finish is Inca Silver with a screwed on black pearl pick guard. It's fitted with Status Graphite neck with phenolic fretboard. The headstock has a NAMM 100 celebratory coin fitted in it. Weight is 10.7lbs (they all weigh about the same, so don't think you'll wait and find a lighter one 😂) Officially introduced on 18 Jan 2001 at the NAMM, Anaheim, California US. Comes with its original hardshell case. These are slightly shorter than the current standard Stingray cases. Also present is its unique certificate. The price is firm. Collection is always preferred, but shipping is an option and in addition to the price shown. If you cannot collect and it's a reasonable drive that I can fit in myself, then I'll deliver for fuel. If all else fails, I have the option of a 'man with a van' which would be around £50 (I'd have to check with him after giving him the destination) Any questions please feel free to ask.

    I think he's just waiting for Christmas now 😂
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Yes, I've been waiting just over 6 months for mine. I'll update when there is one.
  22. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I've no experience with ACG, but Jon Shuker will build you whatever you spec. I would have thought ACG would offer the same service. I'm just waiting on Jon finishing my order (a Precision). The spec process was quick and painless.
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Great condition Precision bass split coil pickup by Lollar - includes black pickup covers. Payment by direct transfer. Postage £4. UK only.
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I recently purchased a Lakland 44-64 USA Series 'Bob Glaub' for similar reasons as you've stated. A perfect solution as far as I'm concerned.
  25. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    You and me both. I find them both very comfortable.
