  1. Hope it goes well for you. I've done a few and really enjoyed.
  2. Doddy said just about exactly what I was going to type, thus saving me the job
  3. These days, now that we gig regularly, we only hire a rehearsal room when it's time to add new material to the set. We will have all learnt the songs at home. It works well for us and usually means that with a rehearsal or sometimes two, we can get up to eight new songs in to the set.
  4. Love the black and maple, wish I hadn't sold my 74 in that finish. Glad you are enjoying.
  5. [quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1409512276' post='2540391'] Patience young Paduan. A buyer will reveal themselves soon enough. In the meantime, I'm enjoying those pics before this thread is locked once sold :-) [/quote] Glad you are enjoying No worries, I am patient but not young
  6. Mine is an almost permanent feature in the lounge here. Had it about six years now and it's had plenty of use. So far so good.

  9. I think your drummer needs to get his tackled checked over. I've never heard of bollock cramp. Your duty as bass player does NOT extend to offering this service
  10. [quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1409477683' post='2539958'] I wish I had the cash for this. It's a great looking bass, unbelievable it's not been snapped up already.. Come on someone! [/quote] Thanks Marvin. It is hanging about a bit, on the plus side it might give you the time to save up
  11. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1409259869' post='2538157'] Its ridiculous that this bass is still here and it is a hell of a lot cheaper and in better condition than most others I have seen just goes to show how poor the market is right now But at least you can enjoy it for a bit longer Gary [/quote] Thanks for that Paul I shall be enjoying playing it later today, my wife is off on a shopping spree and I'm not .
  12. [quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1409088616' post='2536302'] Jeez, it's still cracking and I am still going on that holiday. Can't believe a bass this beautiful is still in here! [/quote] I'm surprised it's still here but no worries, still enjoying it being about the place Enjoy that holiday.
  13. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1409159627' post='2536970'] + 1/2 I'm increasingly finding that I can't be arsed with these overblown, overpriced, comeback extravaganzas but I do enjoy watching the resulting DVDs. Cream, Led Zeppelin and even stuff like the Clapton 'Crossroads' DVDs have all been well worth the tenner or so to buy them and watch I the comfort of home. Yes I know 'it's not the same' as being there, but I reckon I've been to enough live concerts by now so it has to be something really special or really convenient. Sad, maybe, but true. [/quote] I'm the same FF, must be an age thing
  14. Would loved to have been there. Just have to hope for a DVD at some point.
  15. Welcome aboard from an exEnfieldian
  16. Our first visit to The Punch House. We start at 9 p.m. Free entry. We have a very mixed/varied set, focused on up beat and fun
  17. Longest break I had was about 14 years. Getting married, having kids and running my own business took up all my time and energy. During that time I would still occasionally play a bit of keyboard or acoustic guitar but that was it.
  18. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1408726714' post='2533033'] I'm bumping this because it is lovely (although Insufficiently battered of course). [/quote] Thanks Geek. I'm thinking about relicing it
  19. [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1408867381' post='2534082'] I really should have heeded Gary's advice, as the same thing happened to me last night! [/quote] Unbelievably it happened to me again last night Brand new replacement strap lock fitted yesterday pre gig, right in the middle of a number it failed, I had to adopt the rather naff looking pose, of foot up on the kick drum support to allow me to get through the remainder of the song. Years of incident free strap related issues and then two nights in a row. Grolsh bottle top washers from here on in.
  20. Lozz what about if you took off the front grill panel, wrap some some sort of grill cloth material over and around it, then refit the whole lot. Then you just remove it again when you want be less punk.
  21. [quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1408793174' post='2533508'] The best and safest way to use Schaller strap locks is to keep them separate from the strap, attach the strap to the bass as normal, then clip the locks on. Otherwise metal is rubbing against metal with the weight of the bass. The buttons have been known to shear off. [/quote] It hadn't occurred to me, to use them like that
