[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1380057877' post='2220387'] Welcome, new mods! I very much look forward to upsetting you all in due course. [/quote] Aye, bring it on Big Man. There's a new sanction with the new mods.. One Vintage White '50's style Bass Doc built P Bass to be delivered up to Billy Apple in Slough. Must be mounted on a chariot drawn by a goodly number of naughty Pony Girls. please

Now, correct me if I'm wrong here. But I thought Fender did not sell replacement necks and bodies. But they do allow Fender licensed necks and bodies. Hence Warmoth, Allparts, Mighty Mite etc. But this here is saying genuine Fender? Fender licensed surely? Plus, where do they get reduced from £600? They're having a giraffe!? Sometimes when I've had a couple of sherbets I'll sit at Warmoth's neck builder and build my ultimate neck, and with all their bells and whistles it come in around £600 (one day I'll press the wrong button and buy the thing)

Can we combine these two and delete mine? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217795-new-mods/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217795-new-mods/[/url]

Where's all the pics, sylv?

Who's all these new Mods, then? [size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size]

The bash was great, not just because of the talks from the pro's and all the amazing gear on display. What made it for me was the fact that an enthusiastic amateur such as myself took a piece of kit along that he was not understanding too much and found an industry pro who totally sorted it out. Of course I'm talking about my M87 Comp pedal and 51mon. Over the machine gun barrage of slapping Si took the time to explain the principles of compression, and he had a good old fiddle with my knobs. At this point I've got to apologise to Happy Jack, who I was previously talking to in the hallway, mentioning that some people would perhaps like to turn down. Now I was banging way with Si encouraging me to 'Hit the thing as hard as I could!' And can you believe it, Si found the sweet spot, and I had a grin a mile wide across my face! It was as if my bass and rig had got rid of years of bunged up sinuses and all of a sudden were breathing properly. Blimming marvelous! Up until that point I was feeling a little morose about my rig, and now it was ringing like a bell.. A very noisy bell! And to top it off I then got the opportunity to blow the hall windows out with Alex's Barefaced stack. Priceless. For me this was what the bash was all about. A group of like minded people turning up, swapping stories, sharing expertise, meeting old friends and making new ones. I might not fully understand compression, but I know a chap who does.. and he photographed my knobs.. The answer... Thanks 51mon

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1379804005' post='2217017'] [size=4]The end result is that we have raised over £1000 for charity!! I've yet to come to a final figure because I left the refreshment proceeds by the sink - Doh! I'll give a final grand total tomorrow.[/size] [/quote] Any Ideas where the money will go, or is it up for suggestions?

[quote name='Russ' timestamp='1379794433' post='2216904'] Great day. Good to see everyone, old faces and new, and lots of great gear to ogle. And hey, I won a T-shirt! Gear highlights of the day were Alex's new Barefaced cabs, the Markbass Multiamp, a Mk3 Wal and Billy Apple's raucous Matamp rig. [/quote] 98dB through Mr Clabber's 212+112 stack.. and just past half volume... Awesome!

One word.... Outstanding Bash!

Work done. On my way

ARRGGHH! Work have just landed a 500t crane on me at Wembley, and because it's working at 99%SWL muggings here has to go in to supervise the first lift. Hopefully I'll be done by 11, then it's on to the bash. Although maybe with no gear as I don't want it sitting in the back of my car at work. Please can the bash address be posted again, and what's the opening hours?

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1379667500' post='2215381'] Oooh yes, now then, now then, that would be lurrrvely <RUBS THIGHS> [/quote] I've just bought an MXR M87 Bass Compressor, if you fancy teaching me how to rub the thighs on that one

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1379590051' post='2214459'] We'll have something almost as small with us! We have our T-shirts here now. £15 each cash on the day, should raise some money for the [s]charity[/s] handle pot from the profits! [/quote] fixed.

I'm looking forward to A,B'ing my Matamp GT200 with my Mat212 and HJ's 69'er. Last year Mr Clabber bought my P, maybe this year I'll buy his 6. And all this without a moody shop assistant. As Mrs B from Essex says, It's a boon!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1379070512' post='2208312'] Not just my rig ... the guys who made the cab too! [/quote] It's the Rig Of The [s]Week[/s] Year!

I'm glad you put Iron Maiden in brackets' so I didn't get confused with the other Steve Harris

Standard wood adhesive should be fine. Just sand off any varnish and try to use a clamp

If you want good service and stuff that's not run of the mill in London, then get a day return from Paddington to Twyford and visit Bass Gear

I'd drag me nuts over broken glass before I recommended The Gallery in Camden. I don't want to be a troll, but they were hyper-sh*tty to me twice. In fairness I'd welcome positive comments from satisfied customers, but they could do with lesson in customer care from Wunjo. BTW, I've been checking out Wunjo for a good few years since the one shop and have always found them to be chaps. Lets hope it keeps on in that vein.
