£400 shipped Shuttlemax 9.2?! That wont be here long, glwts Nice cabs too, blimey what have you replaced that lot with I am intrigued and no doubt about to be very jelous

Do we have any Stagg players north of the Border? The BSX and the KK Baby Bass both look great dont they, I have actually got a Piezo on my Stagg and a Mag pickup on my DB these days, I am a proper heathen

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1419087218' post='2636420'] I gave up using stands after too many gigs with stage lighting that made it impossible to read the chart. I tried various lights but found it just easier to learn the tunes than carry around a stand, a light, a folder. And then when the band leader decided to produce a different setlist on arrival at the gig; half an hour rearranging the order of my music. [/quote] I cant sight read or read a chart quick enough for most songs but I am thinking of buying an open framed stand and a copy of something like "expert notation for talented musicians in 5/8 and 3/4" to put on the stand, but with "Jugs Weekly" hidden inside

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1419082877' post='2636352'] Next gig I do where the singer wants to use a few cheat sheets, I will inform them of my cunning plan Hide the stand and bring it out after the first number, that way people will be fooled and not walk out upon seeing the stand How cunning is that eh ? [/quote] I like it and if you see someone get up just as you bring it out you could shout "Oi mate are you leaving here to go to the snot and faggot up the road?" If they say yes you could say "could you take this music stand up to the band on up there for me they left it here last week?". That would leave them snookered, will you produce another stand after he leaves making the leaving the right choice anyway or is that the only stand and he is going to miss a great band, does the other band need the stand, surely if they managed to set up without it they are good enough to not need it?, maybe it could be the night that the other band breaks free of the stand? tricky tricky situation

I wonder if anyone has been so forgetful that they have bought half their gear into a pub then gone to get the rest only to return and see a music stand and thought "oh eck a band with music stands I'm off" not realising it's their gig?

^ great post ubit

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1419030181' post='2635990'] I thought this was going to be thread about the NHS... [/quote] You have it all wrong, they are not selling it, just that it will belong to other people after the transactions and the torys keep the proceeds. Nothing like a sale see

Not if someone else buys it off me, I've listed for £2900 in the for sale section with some gaffer tape over the serial number, I'm practically giving it away as it was last advertised for £3500 on here! Lol

I really like my Stagg bass, I've sheilded the cavity and fitted proper strings that cost half as much as the stagg did but its great now, does it sound like a DB? Not so much, does it sound bigger and thumpier than the thumpiest of thumpy electric basses, hell yeah! The audience really like it and it feels and plays fairly similar to the DB, much more than an electric bass thats for sure. Shame your so far away or you could have borrowed mine to try it

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1419026034' post='2635925'] That's Merello's. But before that (Crazy)Kiwi used to use it. Now that used to confuse the hell out of me! I'd always assumed it was something off B3ta. [/quote] I told you I was crap with names, I was close though, lol

Muted pick with all the tone rolled off works well, sort of clicky motion with the tip of the pick but I'm not that advanced to pull it off so fingers or even just thumb and fore finger for me.

I'm sure hes nicked the profile pic too, isnt that Merton's? I am terrible with names, I only know you all by the picture!

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1419024840' post='2635904'] Dodgy Tw*t I would be very wary of this then.................. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/250646-old-german-bass/page__pid__2621698#entry2621698 [/quote] Crikey, I agree. Should a mod be looking at this then? We know the sale price was £2000 less than the asking price which is just bad form but not against rules, listing items you dont own is so id suggest a nuking of the account in 5...4....3......2.....

I started a similar thread a while ago, I'm still miles off but the "less is more" approach is the bit of advice gained that I've really clung too, if you get the feel right the size of the gaps you can leave is amazing, it's as if the listeners brains fill in the gaps somehow.

Crazy!

I've got a few to go at now, hopefully this weekend if work allows

Ha

I'd be trying out a pair of TKS 12s myself, I've got a 2x12 and a 1x12 realistically I would be better selling both cabs and buying something similar to what the OP requires, if I did the TKS would be my first brand to try

I'll send him a grand via paypal, if he is honest it will be sent right back....

You cant go wrong with a Roscoe, nice

So the guy won it on ebay then listed on here before he had paid for or collected it?

Some one else has that profile picture which had me confused for a bit, must like borrowing photos!

Yep works both ways, the term half size is a bit of a red herring isn't it, unless you lined them all up I'd struggle to tell from more than twenty paces which was which.

There you go, mmmm sandwiches.....

Funky!
