The slapping does ruin these shows and most if not all the stands encourage it by hiring the services of people to do it continually if no one is near their stall. I would still go to see the master classes as bluejay says but the last bassday I went to we had a quick scan around the gear then went to the cafe between all the acts. On the other hand most of the gear on show probably sells to the 40-65 year old mark king fans that are making the din (appologies to those here who fit that description) in a way I just feel like I'm encroaching on their show.

Sounds like a bargain that g4m bass, I never get deals like that!

Oh and 35 1/4, green eyes, balding.

Had a 7 hour band practice yesterday! Swapping from 4 string to 5 string and upright bass all day. I tend to have fads, my new upright is on its way from germany so that will be the novelty for a while, hardly practiced elec bass since november last year other than at rehearsal every thursday night

Cool!

Ok mate I will but I bet there will be someone ready for it before then won't there? Ta

Oooh I have a gig on the 23rd in Stafford if it's nearby by then?

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1362323365' post='1998334'] I just did another rehearsal with my Gedo and it sounded great. Enjoy. [/quote] Which model have got Bilbo and is it any good for moondance?

[quote name='alistair Sutcliffe' timestamp='1362319938' post='1998298'] Nice one Mr Stingray! I think mine took 3 or 4 working days to arrive so hopefully you'll have it soon [/quote] Fingers crossed

It's going to be a long week!

Well I would have a Ray obviously, and maybe a bigger amp, and 5 strings, and a good tuner, and I only like EBMM strings and at least 500 watts of amp......

I have done it (I still blame Alistair as it was his thread that started it) Here is the link they sent me so as to raise a special item that could be ordered online, note the adjustable bridge and Spirocore strings, shipping was 95 euros, I am waiting to see what that has cost me all in with todays exchange rate [url="http://www.gedo-musik.de/shop/product.php?id_product=802"]http://www.gedo-musik.de/shop/product.php?id_product=802[/url]

I found Status necks a bit lifeless, and I have seen a total codge done by Status when asked to fit the tuners for the customer but that is another story and not mine to divuldge really. Graphite necked Musicman= Modulus IMO

For the majority of us here (me included) a decent Jazz bass of Squier upwards quality and some form of quality amp with at least either a 2x10 or 1x15 cab will get you 90% there, after that its for the fun of it and if your enjoying your nice gear you will enjoy the gig, if you enjoy the gig others will enjoy watching it

I have seen him mentioned before but as I said at the time he needs a better website, nothing too fancy but a decent SLR camera and an up to date stock list is a must IMO

I'm going to order a pot

[quote name='philparker' timestamp='1362185416' post='1997056'] Congratulations - and good luck with the venture! I sense more questions to come?! [/quote] Many!

It is listed on their site ready for me to order, just waiting for my buyers payment to show in my bank

Fingers crossed I am ordering my gedo bass tomorrow!

Don't by the nyman rosin online either, im not happy with mine
