Maybe you'll have some luck and get taken more seriously if you put it the BASSES FOR SALE forum. What do you reckon? .

[quote name='Lee Carter' timestamp='1360077697' post='1964458'] Nah, folk you have to wake up just as the day is dawning, blues it can be 11:59 and it still counts. [/quote] It can be way after midday. Whenever a blues wipes that sleep from his eyes.... ....that's mornin'.

[b]Playalongathis....[/b] [b][/b] [b]....and you'll be playing-along-a-most-things.[/b] [b]Check out some variation, too.... 7, 8 and 9-bar stuff, sixteen bar stuff, and stuff beyond the three chord trick.... Stormy Monday Blues, for example, still a 12-bar but with a more complex resolve. [/b]

[quote name='Mr Fretbuzz' timestamp='1359574119' post='1956936'] .... wonder why they've discontinued the Pelham Blue already.... [/quote] Nice colour that, innit.

[quote name='nobody's prefect' timestamp='1359584458' post='1957225'] You'd be surprised me matey... [/quote] Lost in translation, boss.

Now why couldn't they have put that chrome on the non-reverse Firebird? The pricks have lost a sale, there. Do you think they care? Do you think [i]would[/i] care if they knew?

Don't eff with a great bass. Get an outboard. Sadowsky or a Sans Amp.

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1359320576' post='1953111'] The thing with Water Rats was there were many promoters using the place, so the situation there could have been quite confusing - you might well have been talking to someone who really didn't know what was going on. [/quote] Musky.... I was talking to the right people. I'm not a child.

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1179517885' post='1780'] Dave Wild 0208 3407766 [url="http://www.wildguitars.com/guitars.htm"]http://www.wildguitars.com/guitars.htm[/url] London N6 [/quote] Sadly, I believe Dave passed on a couple of months ago. His site is locked and his phone's off so I guess it must be so.

I got Facebook messages and MySpace messages from these shysters a couple of years ago.... I can't remember what they were calling themselves, then... but it's the same people and the same "deal". They couldn't answer my question when I asked "how much promoting do you actually do?" They seemed to consider monopolising all the venues was "promotion". I went to The Water Rats (Kings Cross, formerly The Pindar Of Wakefield) to face them out over it but they pretended they'd only been hired by the "promoter" to do the door and didn't know much about the business arrangement. I spoke to some of the bands. Nobody made any money that night. All considered that the cost of getting to the gig, time off work, time spent trying to drum up a crowd... was the same as [i]paying to play[/i]. I believe these "promotors" no longer "promote" at The Water Rats. I despise these s*** - c***s with a hatred.

[quote name='MB1' timestamp='1359213027' post='1951665'] 'slab66' Many thanks for your kind words. I just wanted to get some input on the build and nothing more. MB1. The "Basses for sale" section is self explanatory and should be used only for that purpose, and not for appraisals and valuations. In other words... If you ain't selling it!... Don't post it here! Thank you please. [/quote] MB1 sirrah... don't you mean if it IS for sale don't post it here.....? If it isn't for sale and he(...[i]he?[/i] Who knows?) just wants an appraisal then here is the right slot, [i]no[/i]? Having said that, if he does just want an appraisal then maybe he should have been a bit clearer, eh? Actually, I'm really confused, so I'm going to take a diazpam and go back to bed. Night-night.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1358716726' post='1944047'] Hello! D- Da low frequencies? (sorry, i have opened a cider) Y- Y not? And to really confuse you, here is me talking crap. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0gqMGOeanQ[/media] WELCOME! and enjoy! I do sometimes write less than great things about americans, but i'm sure they don't apply to you [/quote] Milt, dude, have you ever scanned that wallpaper?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1352403039' post='1862698'] Luckily, being French, the bass surrendered to my attack and let me get on with it! [/quote]

[quote name='Jacqueslemac' timestamp='1358500111' post='1940177'] I thought "blowing out" meant "turning down". At least it used to. [/quote] Quite.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1358460401' post='1939814'] Dealers in the US have been blowing out .... [/quote] Is that 'selling'? Difficult to know. New word for every circumstance on a daily basis these days. I'm so old, you see.

Utter bargain. These are going for anything up to about £700 at the mo'. Last [i]new[/i] retail price I logged was £1015.
