Saw this: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/wal-4-string-fretless-bass-guitar/81371603"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/wal-4-st...guitar/81371603[/url] Bargain I thought, so I made contact.... His reply: [i]Hi , The guitar is still available for sale, It is in perfect condition. I have worked in UK for the last 2 years and I've purchased the guitar there. My company wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Bergamo ,Italy and the guitar is currently here with me. I can ship the guitar from here directly to your home address and I am also willing to cover all delivery expenses. I look forward to your reply Regards Paul Morena[/i] You've advertised it as 'London' on Gumtree, yet the bass isn't here.....but you're willing to pay shipping etc out of the goodness of your heart?!? Wow! Hold on, you also said in the advert that you bought it in 1995.... but here you say you got it in the UK within the last 2 years... You'll be asking for Western Union payment next! Regardless, I told him that a biker mate of mine lives in Bergamo and will pick it up if he gives me his address. Funnily enough he's now gone VERY quiet!

Twat: "You guys were AWESOME!! I never expected you to look and sound so good... and I can't believe you did the firebreathing, blood spitting, smoking guitar, rockets and pyro!! Immense....!! The best tribute show I have EVER seen in a club - and maybe even better than the real thing!! One criticism though, if you don't mind....?" Me: "Thanks mate! Sure... go ahead...." Twat: "You need a little more hair on your chest...." Me: *jaw drops in disbelief*

Twat: "Nice bass..... is that a 'Warwick'"? Me: "No, it's a Spector" Twat: "Oh, is that like a cheap Warwick copy or something?" Me: *lifts bass above head like a samurai sword and prepares to swing......*

[quote name='twowheeledwriter' post='1247349' date='May 27 2011, 05:14 PM']It must be my Friday afternoon mood, but the idea of Neil Peart being relegated to percussion in favour of double drummers made me chuckle (no offence to all the percussionists out there...). Are you sure he'd take the job?[/quote] It's his own fault.... he acually describes himself as a 'percussionist' rather than a drummer!

Bought Gary's Bergantino NV610 'SVT Killer'!! Stunning and monstrous cab in amazing condition & luckily, being local, delivered to my door. Big thanks as well to Gary for his patience in payment Highly recommended and a great bloke

Love mine!

Look for the DVD of Malmsteen from the 'Marching Out' tour. He's on there... I believe there is also a Talisman live DVD available as well? Great player and sadly missed

[quote name='KK Jale' post='1241073' date='May 23 2011, 01:07 AM']Now THIS is a bass player who knows how to move Some band called Rich Kelly & Friendship, somewhere in New Jersey, 1978... be sure to watch past the 1.30 mark. [/quote] This guy is amazing!! Love it!

KISS for the fun stage production/live shows and the 'babes'.... Journey for the amazing songs/harmonies and all round musicianship The Doobie Brothers for the rock/soul/country/rnb crossover grooves, harmony vocals and great basslines

See if you can fit some EMG 35DCs in there..... that should do it!

I have never taken part in BOTBs... I know the bands I played in were the best - I don't need some greedy Landlord/Fake Promoter to tell me that! But seriously, they're a complete rip-off/scam....

On stage in front of an audience on a regular basis with a good drummer

[quote name='icastle' post='1234193' date='May 17 2011, 12:38 PM']I'd guess that the location of the gig also added to your expectations as well. I was asked to dep a gig many years ago at Crystal Palace. I got very excited, learned all the material and then found out that the Crystal Palace they were talking about was a pub in St. Albans...
