[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1413752444' post='2581609'] My main problem with Bareface has always been that they command premium prices but look like something knocked up in a shed. [/quote] I don't agree that they look knocked up in a shed, but they are utilitarian. But, is Barefaced about the looks or the sound and weight?

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1413728260' post='2581268'] Voted for Vampire but Taranis was my close second choice so it's all good. FWIW, Vampire made me think of an early British jet fighter . Seeing as it'll be a bunch of blokes using the amp that's probably a good thing. I suppose [i]you'd[/i] have named it the MJW Lilac Bouquet, ya big poncey metrosexual. [/quote] I'd have named it the MJW 200B Mk1. With lilac tolex.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1413737618' post='2581392'] ^This - the day they move production of Harley-Davidson to China will be a day of national mourning. [/quote] The owner of an independent Harley garage I used to frequent told me that I'd be shocked if you knew just how much of your bike was made in the far East.

You can tell a bunch of blokes thought of all those names.. All a bit corny.

I don't suppose these have any kind of brake set up? I wouldn't fancy going fully loaded down a hill with one

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1413652997' post='2580623'] Mmm, OK Paul - but I'm sticking my neck out a bit here... this is a very short clip from a (much longer!) jam that was recorded at rehearsal on a Zoom H1 in the room, so if you're expecting top production values I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed! However, you should get a rough idea of the SB-2... [url="https://soundcloud.com/arkaymith/status-anxiety-jam"]https://soundcloud.c...tus-anxiety-jam[/url] [/quote] Yes. Listening to this, it most definitely needs to be refinished in white.

Not for me. Too rattley, widdley and clangey

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1413648769' post='2580562'] IMO these thread do come across as a bunch of pervy old men going 'thwar' which I don't think is on on what should be a family forum. [/quote] I prefer the term Phwoor! from the Viz (Finbarr) Standard Lexicon.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1413638404' post='2580411'] I suspect the Pawnshop range was Mr Justin Norvell bringing some of his trademark 'wackiness' [/quote] Is he the 'chase me' fellow?

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1413576549' post='2579868'] Making basses in China with the Fender Logo was to me the biggest mistake ever in devaluing the brand. [/quote] How come? My Chinese built Coronado is faultless. I think if you understand the location of build and the pricing structure you can find a bass that is a good fit. The beauty with the proliferation of the brand is if you can end up with a good far East bass at a very reasonable price. My Coronado purchase added value to my perception of the brand. I think poor USA builds are far more damaging to the brand.

I took out a couple of antagonistic posts here. Just be warned, keep it civil.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1413380953' post='2577715'] Still, no doubt I'll find out WHEN I REMOVE THE ORIGINAL PAINT PRIOR TO REFINISHING!! BWA-HAHAHA HA-HA-HAAAAHHH!! *Cough, cough* [/quote] YEAH BABY!!.. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/31z5Yhk.jpg[/IMG]

Do you think this was originally black? Where it's been dinged I'm thinking Butterscotch?

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1413374514' post='2577614'] Here's the build thread with photos of it as it was on Monday. Might give you inspiration. I'm going to see it tomorrow and work on the pre-amp settings; when I get back I'll put a poll up for the names. [/quote] Where?

Vintage white it is

How come? Problems within or outside the band?

Canny that

I like the colour of your bass, and liked the bit in one of your songs where you say why can't Jeremy Clarkson just f*** off. Why cant he indeed.
