Be interesting to hear how that balances. How about making it 24 fret on the b,e and a then 26 on the d and g?

Fingers well and truly crossed

Ok, but still... it's still not that much money when you think what you've invested to do it. All I'm saying is that PR companies seem to be a "necessary evil" if you don't want to be out of pocket.

A lot of money? Assume 5 members in a band, 6 months work.... £382 each... which is.. £63 a month!

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1355499337' post='1899306'] I don't think i am looking at it through rose tinted glasses, i know what goes on. But money = the corruption of any person, organisation or industry. That's where the entire thing fell down really, seeing that they could sell more than just music. Personally, i wouldn't mind recording and putting out my own CD, and not worrying about any of that PR stuff, and just letting whatever money it makes come to me. Doesn't matter to me. If somebody wants to listen to me, they will buy my CD. [/quote] Ok assuming you get your cd's printed. Lets assume you get 500 printed for whatever reason : 500 x [url="http://www.discwizards.com/duplication-printed-sleeve.htm"]cd's[/url] = around £340 (lets ignore artwork costs, recording, mastering) You sell around 20 cd's to friends and family at £5 each = £100 With no further PR you have 480 cd's left, and you're £240 out of pocket. With good PR you might sell all of your cd's, lets assume you're giving them 10% (I know nothing about how this works), that's £4.50 made for each cd. 500 x 4.50 = £2250 - printing costs £1910 profit. I know which makes more sense to me

If I get a chance I'll open this up at home

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1355496460' post='1899244'] I [s]promote[/s] prefer people to think and come up with their own ideas, beliefs and principles. [/quote] Is this what you meant?

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1355490223' post='1899085'] I don't see what my personally interest in entertainment and culture has to do with a discussion on jake bugg. Also in my list of interests is making people smile, cooking, music and cars, for anybody that hasn't glanced across there. Anybody want to make another hit at my personal interests? [/quote] Does this mean your ideal activity is : cooking Derren Browns smile in a car while listening to music?

Oh yeah! I remember now!

Right time, right place, right contacts

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1355489062' post='1899050'] I must point out I am sat here with a broken arm that was caused by electrocution! [/quote] More details please!

At the end of the day... if it sells, it sells for a reason. We may or may not like it but there's sod all reason worrying about it. If you could be in his position right now are you telling me you'd turn it down? FWIW, some basschatters (and a few others) have described my band as similar to a number of other bands. I take it as a compliment personally!

Looks brilliant but... how does it play and sound?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1355484537' post='1898947'] Obviously you wear rubber pants and rubber soled shoes. [/quote] and nothing else? Are all bassists this kinky?

A contact number or address is your best bet I think, it's pretty hard to dodge someone turning up on your doorstep!

Korn? But then it would probably be an improvement

I air keyboard or air pick but never air fret

I'm saying the 27th, mainly because I am unlikely to be on a computer on the 25th or 26th

Yeah, but they're only one shop also they only have limited stuff in... I can't afford nice things atm anyway (read as... will get stabbed if I buy another bass in the next few years )

Never mind woods atm, what about the shape? How many strings? Any preference on electronics? Arrrgh! We need details man.. details!!

Ah John, So it's you that's altered the gravitational pull in Cumbernauld

I think I spent 45quid better a couple of days ago. 100 plectrums!

When I get him hell be called koopa and I want a german shepherd called yoshi
