I have in the past paid a fair bit for good quality japanese koi and mostly they have been with me long enough to be classified as vintage. Had a lovely Ogon that a mate imported for me, it was with me for 28 years. Bit like Fenders, the japanese ones are usually damn good. Haven't spent much money on Koi in recent years, my last purchase, a rather lovely Kohaku about ten years back. I've stopped buying Koi mags and don't go to near the koi dealerships anymore.

Good day to you Dave. Welcome aboard, enjoy the site.

Nice review Mingsta. I did the same a few years back. I really loved my Trace rig but was finding it increasingly more difficult to lift it in and out of the car and in to venues etc. Ended up with the Shuttle 6 and a couple of Mark Bass 2 x 10's. So pleased that I did. Always get a sound that I like and don't end up flat out on the settee, with a hot water bottle on my back after every gig. A couple of times I've put a little blob of blu tack over the LED's, dulls them down just right

What a a pain for you. It's a shame that a minority cause these sort of problems. Lets see if XXXX responds. Hope he does but I suspect he will not.

Good man WoT. Really enjoyed this thread, one of the positive and happy ones thankfully.

I wasn't sure it was actually a Yamaha. I know there was a sticker on the bod saying Yamaha.

Weird but I very much want it.

Know what you mean. Well just enjoy it for as long as it is in your company then.

Nice one Nick, take it this one is a keeper then?

[quote name='geddeeee' timestamp='1361151811' post='1982026'] If you use lemon oil on any open grained fretboards it will eventually bow the neck. Lemon oil evaporates and will really dry out your fretboard. Use it and you will end up with serious problems. [/quote] I've yet to spot a bowed neck on any of the basses that I've used Lemon Oil on over the last twenty years or so

Daz, I was hugely relieved to see Glen Tilbrook had lost the hideous beard but was very disappointed with the performance

Good luck with it. My advice: Be there early or at least on time. Set up in an effecient manner. Tune up silently. Don't widdle about on your bass prior to start or between numbers. Like others have said, lock in with the drummer and just keep it solid. At an audition, they are more likely to be impressed if you make them sound good, rather than too much in the way of bass gymnastics

We tend to go for the original recorded version.

Really enjoyed it. Not usually a fan of Mick Hucknall but thought his was a great performance. Stereophonics great, although horrid drumming. Like Lozz said, that Beverley Knight can certainly sing but for me, she overdid it. Vocal equivalent of a tooo widdly guitar solo All in all though, good T.V.

My experiences with Wilkinson kit have all been good.

Looking good. Enjoy.

Very sad

Like it Clarky72, very nice.

Another recommended Bass Chatter, a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks Tim. I look forward to watching the whole thing later, after my kitchen duties have finished for the day
