Thomann - much much bigger than Andertons and the original sire stockist still saying 2-3 weeks. I hope Andertons do get them tomorrow, but I'd be amazed if they get them weeks before thomann.

It just gets more and more genius. All this hype and news over high ticket prices makes people want them more and creates even more demand. Its mental, and shouldn't work. But it does.....

Is it just me, or just me as a bass player..... But a 'band' reforming should be the full band. Not just the singer and guitarist. The euphoria of just 2 of the members getting back together and it being called a band reunion is a bit off the mark for me. I'd be just as happy to see guigsy on bass as I would noel on guitar.

If they don't get them for the 3rd then they need to have a think about what they're doing.. . it's not really fair to take pre orders and keep rocking the date back. I hope they do get them though and everyone gets theirs.

They're absolute masters at it.

Great stuff. I didn't even know they did no phone gigs, but if they do - brilliant. I'd love to wind the clock back to no phone gigs. Just enjoying it!

Thanks.

Cheers dude I'll put some together. Thanks.

Hi all, Can anyone help with dating my tokai hardpuncher - precision copy? 16070089

The greatest thing on the oasis documentary - and I'll never forget it - is where noel is commenting on the Knebworth gig. Classing it as the last big mass gathering where people really enjoyed the occasion and togetherness before mobile phones and the Internet came and destroyed all that. Unfortunately, people remember great great gigs and the dancing, cheering, singing in unison. Unfortunately these gigs will be full of wannabe liams and people just stood there filming on their phones. I really don't think the gigs will be as even oasis remember them. Times have changed for the worse for big band gigs. Ironically it's not even anything to do with the bands themselves. Unfortunately £150 to be stood behind a wannabe moron or a cameraman isn't appealing. A gig without any phones would be. Also, I always remember noel saying the kept their ticket prices at £20 so the kids like them when they were growing up could afford to come..... That didn't last then....

I'd either go - vintage v4 (or Tony butler like lozz says), or if you can stretch to it a sire P5. In my opinion, nothing, absolutely nothing comes close to a secondhand P5. Amazing build quality, feel and sound for around £200 if your lucky.

OK, so maybe I've been naive for 30 odd years I assumed precision pickups were for p basses, humbucker for stingrays etc etc.... So when looking for cheap mods for a laugh to my Harley benton M M double humbucker bass I thought I'd check out the roswell pickup site (they're good for the price) I assumed my options were limited to a humbucker that fitted.... But, I never knew they did precision pickups in a rectangular humbucker sized block!! Totally makes sense too - why should a p pickup be a cast in stone split that fits the wood perfectly in that Z shape style? It does exactly the same in a pre made rectangular block. That opens up loads of options now!! A MP, a PM, even a PP if needed. We'll worth a shot for something different.

Unfortunately I've done this before with them, it just endlessly moves. Much clearer dates at thomann for things I found unfortunately.

Nah, not for me. I'm just me. If me doesn't fit into a band because of me being me, then me doesn't do it. Me will always be happy being me though. However me looks.

By God those 4x8 cabs were heavy!! I don't know what they had in them but flippin eck I couldnt take one to a gig one now

I've never played a fret less either come to think of it. Or a 5 string.

Oh yeh, I played a hohner b2a headless. To be fair - great sound. But a little weird to hold and play. I'd give it another go though. Thunder birds, I'd like to get them, but just can't. They almost say neck dive before you try them, and I can't work out how you'd put them on a stand
