Hi Pelle My ears/eyes pricked up when I saw your location. Years ago (maybe 15-20) I spent 10 days in Orebro at the College on an exchange with some of the Lecturers there. Can't remember their names but they played a gig for us, one was a good guitarist. I worked in a College in Leeds, Yorkshire at that time. I remember Orebro being a lovely city with a large castle surrounded by a lake? Welcome to Basschat Keith

Went to a local acoustic open mic last night and well the acoustic bit was sort of adhered to in that people brought acoustic guitars but all had little amps ( me included for the ubass). Not a bad night, one of the house guitars was Tom, the current guitarist with the Zombies.

Maybe ask Alesha?

I've put the money down for a bass a few times now and got the rejection email a few hours later so i thought nothing of it this time. I go the confirmation email ten minutes later. Well I've got an early Xmas present now! [/quote] 'Let's hope it's a good one'!

[quote name='Rikki1984' timestamp='1450189064' post='2930380'] Oops I bought the black standard Strat for 25 quid. Don't really need a guitar but couldn't resist at that price! [/quote] Wow you got in quick, never seen any electric guitars that were not sold out!

Just the Progs left now, Jazz sold out

I hear the Fleet Air Arm have offered him the full asking price on the understanding they can land Tornados on the neck...

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1449926324' post='2928046'] Was that a real name ? Brilliant ! [/quote] Saw an video years ago, maybe on YT on 'How to make a Hillbilly case'. Must be a Stateside thing...

[quote name='Wonky2' timestamp='1450031202' post='2928961'] Here it is [/quote] Come on , get that badge turned around now!

Any 'I'm Leaving Basschat' thread...

Hot news literally. The Britney Spears Haircare Range will be available again from your local LIDL Store, from Thursday 17th December, limited stocks. I'm particularly taken by the Hot Air Brush at £7.99.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1450108101' post='2929646'] The more we learn about this, the fewer possibilities there are that the seller has any grip on any aspect of reality. [/quote] Who'd have thought it, an eBayer with no grip on any aspect of reality! A Pretty litigious statement that...!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1450109187' post='2929658'] I bet they're not available in the search... [/quote] Here's some clues : G** P****, J**** G******* but I may be wrong on this last one J*** B***** BTW was being semi-ironic as pretty sure we could all learn from their experience, if not their ego.

I used to like the threads where famous named players would join Basschat and get run out of town/flounce off!

A collaboration between Jane's Addiction and Medicine Head, 'Doctor, Doctor' will be released in time for the festive Charts.

In my early pre war days we tuned with a Pitch Helmet....

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1449921518' post='2927970'] I looked at Roq for my NY 121 cabs, but baulked at the prices, and they only have limited protection against knocks in transit So I decided to keep the original boxes that mine shipped in. Well , one original MB and one regular. I covered up most of the shipping labels and whatnot and then fitted strong ' handles ' , which is in fact a recycled very strong bass case. They' boxes are different sizes so when the cabs are removed, one stores inside the other. Also, i use foam inbetween the fold flat raiser, and foam inbetween the 2 cabs. This will stop rubbing marks [/quote] Hillbilly Cases-used similar years ago before they invented the modern cover!

Use the search facility, there have been quite big threads about both this year., so lots of info

He's a top bloke and when I was in Yorkshire, him and geoffbassist did an interesting musical seminar at one of our Bass Bashes.

Tempted by the PJ 5 but I've had two, sold one on and I don't really need another...but it is a good transition from P to J! Of the two I had, one was heavier than the other, could be a good mule for upgrading pickups?

I've always bought Roqsolid but with my second hand CMD102p, I got a MB cover thrown in and I have to say it is thicker than RS. However they do cost a bit more too. Re the badge, the double sided tape they use should just re-stick, mine did.

Ralf Little is joining boy band Blue. The new combo are struggling for a name however.

Notice you have them on the long 'side', I used a hairdryer to gently remove the badge, spin it 90 degrees so the cab sits on its narrow side with the badge now horizontal

I had the same rig, as a LM II and then a LMIII until gas got the better of me! Nice and portable, unzip the bag and you are away. Bought the 15" cab as well and sold it as never needed it.

Bay Chi Lights?
