Pics to follow if the others let me lol. Zach[/quote] Oo want one! I shaved my mohawk off at the weekend - feel naked now.

[quote name='d-basser' post='279347' date='Sep 7 2008, 09:33 PM']I used to wear pink ear muffs (because i told my girlfriend i needed ear protection onstage) a kilt and once played with a soft toy [b]minkey [/b]strapped to my bass[/quote] Minkey?... You said minkey?

Hey Sam. Can't wait to see how this one turns out. FWIW the strings on my S.U.B. are pretty well aligned with the poles.

It's a big old pre-Flea but you could just use the E and A saddles off it, it's only a tenner.

I've only had 2 gimmicks that I can remember. Years ago when I quit smoking I got hooked on [url="http://www.chupachups.com/en/"]Chupa Chups [/url]and always went on stage with [url="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/ou7shined/bass/Rich---MINE---.jpg"]one in me gob[/url], eventually folk would turn up to our gigs with spares for me in case I ran out mid set but I got sick of them and I like a beer when I'm playing and the 2 don't mix. More recently, my daughter gave me Jerremy the rubber duck to take to one of our gig for her. He spent the better half of a year [url="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/ou7shined/bass/Me-and-Matt---Aviemore.jpg"]strapped to my headstock[/url]. I put him back in the toy box when I got mu S.U.B.

Nice bass though innit....one I seriously regret letting go [attachment=12936:get_atta...ent.aspx.jpg][/quote]Love it. [quote name='OldGit' post='277365' date='Sep 4 2008, 09:11 PM']Is that Star Trek communicator there on your manly shoulder?[/quote]Nope. I see what you mean but the source snap is actually [url="http://www.loti.com/sixties_fashion/images/Mary%20Tyler%20Moore-Longer%20flip,%20circa%201970.jpg"]this[/url] un. [quote name='crez5150' post='277453' date='Sep 4 2008, 11:26 PM']Is it wrong to find this attractive??[/quote]Yes - on soooo many levels. I am flattered though. :wub:

He's travelling from somewhere in Scotland to Preston right? What's the diff of putting in an extra 30 odd miles and just keeping on going to Manchester???

I usually keep my bass control full on for live stuff but I'm up and down on the treble and volume all the time dependent on the song.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='276671' date='Sep 4 2008, 07:34 AM']He is on BBC breakfast with it.[/quote] Ha ha beat me, I saw that too. Some dude played a ropey Star Spangled Banner on it - right handed! I think they said it has been sat in Noel Redding's nephews garage for years. They're expecting to get around £1,100,000 for it.

[quote name='Gamble' post='275259' date='Sep 2 2008, 10:53 AM']HOLY CRAP!!! 3,148.6 MB removed. No wonder it took a bit longer than "under a second"![/quote] Blimey! Because when I first started building 'putas it was all about efficiency, speed and security, I'm pretty anal about clearing my cache etc. and usually do it each time I'm through with whatever webby I've been on and ALWAYS after doing internet banking or ebay etc. You might notice a slight increase in web browsing speed now that you've gotten rid of all that unwanted baggage. Remember too that all that stuff that builds up in your cache could be (if exploited) used against you. You should also set you cache to a more manageable size, say 50-80 Mb.

.... been looking for one of [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EMS-THEORBO-LONG-NECK-BASS-LUTE-CHITARRONE-BAROQUE_W0QQitemZ350093442837QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item350093442837&_trkparms=39%3A2%7C66%3A1%7C65%3A1%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]these[/url] for ages. Now I can get that Funk Baroque project started.

Boing, and back up to £2900 again.

[quote name='Gamble' post='274127' date='Aug 31 2008, 11:21 PM']That's the right one, cheers! I've found "delete cookies" in my internet options from the tools dropdown, but that'll lose all my saved passwords etc wont it? As long as you're all seeing the right one it's fine. Cheers!! *computer n00b alert!*[/quote] Download and install [url="http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/"]this[/url] wee beastie (say yes to everything except the yahoo toolbar <- coz you don't need that crapware). Then right click on your [b]Recycle Bin [/b]click on >[b]Run Cleaner[/b] that clears your cache and gets rid of any nasties too. But here's the clever bit -> each time you go to a favourite website and login, right click on your [b]Recycle Bin [/b]again but select >[b]Open CCleaner[/b] >[b]options[/b] >[b]cookies[/b] then copy over the cookies from that website (eg. basschat.co.uk) to the right hand column. Now every time you run the cleaner (which you should do often) it gets rid of everything except your login details. :ph34r:

We are talking about the rocking chair aren't we?

[quote name='Wooks' post='273556' date='Aug 31 2008, 10:08 AM']A bit excited whilst playing the acoustic there!!! [/quote] Ha ha I never noticed that before. Just goes to show that the old saying about big feet is true though.

Ha ha you were total crapping it yesterday and now today you're all blasé about everything. Well done doll. When's the next un? Bet you can't wait.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='273032' date='Aug 30 2008, 10:04 AM']Now I'm just bored.[/quote] Dude, I love your comments. [b]Sarah [/b]: All the best for tonight.... ... but I don't think you'll need it you sound as though you are the most prepared first timer in the history of first timers. Looking forward to your breakdown in tomorrows "how was your gig" thread. Break a leg.
