It's a sad reflection on what this forum has done to me that I was thinking "buy" as soon as I read the subject line!

Bought Tony's EBS Multidrive... arrived nicely packaged in a timely manner, no problems at all, thank you!

I fear I may be succumbing to J-gas... The P is still the boss, but for the honky bridge P/U sound...

But surely Scone rhymes with one: "So, thanks to all at once and to each one, Whom we invite to see us crown'd at Scone."

Buy.

Nicki Minaj ftw.

Works in most situations (Or that's probably just for me actually) Liam [/quote] Does that work when you're shagging your mate's bird too?

Thanks for the feedback guys... and the reminder that I owe some people phone calls regarding lady friends past and present I've sent a message suggesting we might focus on working towards demo-ing our unrecorded material as a short-term project, even if the band isn't going to be an ongoing concern... and slipped in that I'll be doing similar with my own material on the side. How devious! The band's already had a crack at a couple of my songs, with mixed results... Guitarist A is really a basic riffs guy, and is fine with material he's come up with himself, and hard work with anything else! However he's the one with the "vision" who got us together in the first place (conversely, Guitarist B is versatile but very backward in coming forward . . . hang on, I must stop before I describe myself as "luke-warm water"!). So I guess I feel sorry for him that it's not working out.

Guitarist A assembles band with Guitarist B, me and a singer. We look for a drummer, we rehearse, we record some demos with a session drummer, we look for a drummer... a year later we find a drummer, and shortly after that the singer announces that they're leaving the country. We lethargically stumble on but work committments and general fatigue mean it's hard to get in the same room at the same time and when we do it's all rather aimless. Meanwhile, I've been writing songs that don't suit the band, and am keen to demo them and possibly hawk them to publishers. My plan is to recruit the drummer and Guitarist B - but not Guitarist A - for a brief rehearsal blitz/studio project. (I'll get a session singer in and double on keyboards myself.) The drummer is up for this and I'm waiting to hear back from Guitarist B. My problem is when/how/what to say to Guitarist A: there's no role for him in this project, but I feel guilty that I'm taking advantage of his efforts (he found the other guys) when the project he started is foundering. All's fair in love and war?

[quote name='CBbass' timestamp='1332144659' post='1583739'] Mint condition though [/quote] You mean it's got a big hole in it?!?

Yep, I noticed that too. Cue sinister conspiracy theory...

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1332101304' post='1583354'] Hofner Violuin basses...ugh Kramer Puke..I love headless basses but my friend's one felt horrible. Ow my hands! Hate the 'sting' Teles .. but love my mudthumper. Not keen on most sunburst basses [/quote] I've never heard of the Kramer Puke . . . but now I want one!

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1332068583' post='1582664'] a casual glance through the thread would seem to infer that the the J is winning the day hoorah! [/quote] Nope, that's 'cos we're too busy contentedly playing our Ps to come and mention Js here! Actually I like the [i]idea [/i]of a J, but not that slope-y body. (Which I why I have a G&L JB-2.)

Ah yes... you've made an old man very happy. Or have you made a happy man very old? I forget...

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1331906889' post='1580757'] That's impressively stretchy. [/quote] It also explains why traffic's a nightmare on the South Circular.

To be fair, I expect someone previously 'won' it, came around and noodled on it then said they didn't want it. Other than that, I'm grateful for the extra info. If the pre-Xmas accident had been in Denmark I'd be all over this.

[/quote] Great when used with a Fender Sensodyne. Especially the 5-string, with its low Oral-B. Col-gate my coat...
