Hi all. I'm having trouble uploading photos to my ads in the marketplace as when I try, it just says "upload failed" while displaying that I've exceeded my global upload quota (31 mb so I'm over my 30mb allowance) I've taken this to mean that I need to delete some old photos but all my old ads are locked so I can't edit them now. Is there a way of fixing this problem here on BC, or is that it and I now have to link from, say, Flickr from now on? Thanks, Si.

Sold a P-bass neck to Mart. Nice easy deal, great informative comms and he paid instantly. Top man. Great doing business with you Martin Many thanks, Simon.

Been following his progress on Facebook, scary stuff. Glad he's received treatment in time. Get well soon Scott, your awesomeness is very much still needed!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1391523373' post='2358082'] I remember something about that... didn't the singer throw a bit of a tantrum and go off stage for a while? Questionable idea starting a fire in an enclosed space full of thousands of people.... [/quote] No it was John Fruciante who stopped playing so Anthony could tell the perps to "put that f***in sh*t out you a**holes, you want people to die?" Nobody stormed off though. Twice it happened too. Unbelievable!

[quote name='Stu-khag' timestamp='1391510485' post='2357843'] I watched the performance yesterday. I quite enjoyed it. I've kind of avoided popular culture for the last few years due to having a kid and work- no radio 1, commercial radio and very little tv etc. so thought Bruno Mars and Olly Muirs were the same person! I was there also though not on mushrooms. They were very good. [/quote] I concur that they were great that night (even though some tools down the front were making fires which made the band stop a couple of times!)

Wow I really enjoyed that, what a great performance by all OK he wasn't plugged in, I don't think it really matters in this context. I'm sure the producers of that show had enough to worry about without dealing with individual sound levels, and about a dozen musicians running around wireless. Too much room for error probably what with half the planet tuning in. We know Flea can do it live, he has nothing to prove there whatsoever. Plus it's not like we haven't seen him mime before - pick any Chili Peppers video. Cool, entertaining, but he is miming on them.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1390342887' post='2344411'] Being a life long pick player I swear by Jim Dunlop Tortex .73 Just the right balance of firm for digging in, flexi for speed and rubbery grip-ness. Love them and always a couple in my back pocket [/quote] Another convert of the Dunlop yellows here. Never really got on with using a pick in the past, mostly a fingers player but always wanted to be better with one as a couple of my favourite players use a pick. Seem to be getting on with these yellows just fine. Guess I've used picks that were too thick for me in the past. Because of this thread, I popped into a music shop in Cardiff to check out what picks they had and met a neighbour who has started working there. Gave me a few for nowt. Result!

Been through the same process with both a Stingray and a Ric 4001. Really didn't want a Fender because nearly everyone you see plays them. Now I've stopped caring about such things, it's a Precision all the way for me these days.

Yeah they were regulars at Glasto in the 90's saw them a few times there. Nice chilled beats and grooves with a beautiful velvety voice. Enjoy the new mojo and share the love!

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1389451956' post='2334306'] No Android version. I guess real musicians all love Apple. [/quote] Balls. Was getting really excited there too.

I've had couple of string-thru body Fenders. One was string-thru only so never gave it much thought, the other had a top load option (Fender HMV bridge). I prefered that bass top load only actually as the bass sounded more alive acoustically with a clearer fundamental which was great at home. Amped up with the band it mattered not a jot which way it was strung in my experience. For the record I have used TI, Chromes and Roto flats strung thru body and they were fine, no probs. Also, to stop the string-thru ferrules falling out if you go top load, a wee bit of super glue sorts that one out

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1389219425' post='2331643'] I love The Pier gig, it's marvellous. I love the clips on Baby Snakes too. I really must get the Mother Hips album. I'll check out the Zappateers, sounds interesting [/quote] Yes, will have to check out the Zappateers too. NEED to hear all of that 84 tour! One thing though, Scott Thunes doesn't play on the new Mother Hips album (or any of them) as it was recorded a while ago before he joined, although he has been playing it live. He declared this himself on Facebook when everyone was telling him how much they were looking forward to it. Op - another vote here for Dirty Linen by Fairport Convention. Maybe not your bag but it is a killing bassline. As you like the Chili Peppers, another cool one would be the instrumental Pretty Little Ditty off Mother's Milk. Would tick a lot of boxes for your GCSE methinks. Good luck!

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1389214589' post='2331560'] Both are deceptively difficult. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly79mkffp7M[/media] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_IhWWt_CiI [/quote] Yes!!

Sold some Fralin pups to Tom in a very easy and friendly deal. Top chap. Great chatting and doing business with you Tom. Cheers! Simon.

Depends where you put it really. A nice bit of space can be a wonderful thing. Reggae for example. I'll get me spacesuit.

Kim Deal left this time to spend time with her sick elderly mother and the door is open for her when she wants to return. So BF said in an interview.

..yes it is, it's the magic number.. Congrats man, that would be my top 3 too! Love all the finishes you have there. Have fun! :-)
