Roland Rock

Great stuff, good luck with the gig

A lovely intimate gig, and great to see her on top form

A reminder about our gig next Thursday. The Golden Fleece, Nottingham

It needs to be pretty thin to really get into the grain, and ime you'll even need to thin down a grain filler a bit. Water-based wood fillers tend to shrink back when they dry out, so you'll need to overdo it to allow for this, then sand back the excess. In short, you could use certain types of wood filler, but a grain filler is easier as it's purpose made.

It took me four relationships to realise that Nick Lowe was talking bollocks when he said you need to be Cruel to be Kind. Air is [b]not[/b] solid. Try breathing wood. War is definitely not Civil

Great video Clarky. The song has a lovely dreamlike quality and lovely dynamics going into the chorus. Nice western shirt, too Edit - what's the plural of chorus? Chori?

It's a really tricky design to get right. - ACG (especially the [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/265/"]Finn SC[/url]) and Ritter ([url="http://www.ritter-instruments.com/R8-singlecut.php"]R8[/url]) have a great eye for design, and do the SC well. -[url="http://www.fodera.com/main/BassModels.aspx?SeriesID=9"] Fodera's Anthony Jackson[/url] and Warwick's [url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?katID=24286&cl=EN"]Thumb SC[/url] are some of the ugliest basses out there IMO

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1342786688' post='1740910'] temptation to treat oneself can be overwhelming, but it doesn't last, and nor does the pleasure of acquisition. [/quote] Very true, and very well put

The Yoda weighs next to nothing.

Rosanna, by Toto Bossa Nova (the entire genre, not the Pixies album)

Danelectro DE Dano Pro bass in Aqua, now where's my strap?

I believe that the Jazz bridge pickup has some variation, Google "70s pickup spacing" or something for details. I'd imagine that the one closer to the bridge is better suited to having a cover. I love the look, and gig my chromed-up P with no issues at all

The OP did ask for opinions, but I feel that the negative reply, no matter how valid, was poor etiquette. If a friend had rocked up in a new car that they were obviously chuffed with and said "what do you think?", it would be poor form to say "the welding on these is sub par and the brake pipes are prone to corrosion". They have already bought it and love it, so all that does is piss on their bonfire. It would be a different story of someone was considering buying one and inviting opinions, then constructive criticism is welcome and truly helpful. All IMO of course.

As far as covers are concerned, I Loved playing 'Boys keep Swinging' with my old Bowie band - driving root notes in the verses, nice bit of BVs in the chorus and an outro with total freedom to improvise and make it sound as crazy as possible.

[quote name='GetYourFunkOut93' timestamp='1342556367' post='1737120'] Yeah thanks Looked at barefaced.. they might sound great.. But there ugly as hell! xD [/quote] Coming from the person who has just bought a Markbass:-) IMO they look much better with the silver cloth front option

I just bought a Mark Bass Superbooster pedal from Derrick. Within 24hrs of agreeing a price, it was at my house! Great communication, item as described, highly recommended.

Where's BRX? The Terrortones' 'Stickypants Trance' vid was cheap and superb.

+1 for the DHA VT1. It'ss what you need. [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1341579444' post='1721231'] You think Dave will paint it black on request? (hate those finishes) [/quote] I originally wanted black, but this was Dave's response: "[font=Arial][size=2][color=#000000]I would not recommend black as the base colour, just looks poor and tacky."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2][color=#000000]The one on this thread actually looks great IMO[/color][/size][/font] [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1341871726' post='1725585'] DHA VT1 EQ Bass Drive.

[quote name='garybaldy' timestamp='1341932872' post='1726437'] I think Dave, whilst being a lovely bloke and awesome maker of pedals, paints them with a dog or something... [/quote] Truly sloppy

Cheers folks, sounds like its just the job. The wig is a must! Len, I'd love to come over and meet up, tricky at the moment what with lots of stuff going on at home, but will def take you up on that, thanks. Reaper, eh? The plot thickens. Thanks for the advice all.

That's a lovely looking rig.
