Not OT but Andertons are doing 30% off TC amps and combos at the moment should you be tempted....

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1398954800' post='2439389'] It's American for wheel arch, isn't it?...Don't know why anyone would be talking about that on here!? [/quote] Pull up the Bumper....

+1 for Caustic Love by Paulo Nutini. Not sure who plays Bass on it mind, no listings in the CD.

I enjoy going to Jams, was at one in Glastonbury Sunday night (Yes, I've played Glasto!). Charlie Miller and the Soul Agents run it and I got the chance to play quite a few things that my Band cannot/will not do. .Equally often go to Open Mics where I'm the only Bassist and I get to play all night with different singer/songwriters. Luckily Eric Clapton has not attended any of the Jams I go to, but if he did I'd be happy to back him....

Well at least it is not MDF....!

Speaking of Spendors, I have a very nice new pair for sale here at a great price....http://basschat.co.uk/topic/230624-spendor-sa1-bookshelf-speakers-final-price-l700-this-week-and-next/ . Make me an offer!

Tried accupuncture...?

With luck you will get a distorted sound first then it will go dead. Some change the batteries every X months as a matter of course. The key thing ( as I'm sure you know) is not to leave a lead plugged into the jack when not in use.....

I was the first person to order a cover for the original Markbass T210 cab from them and even from my exact dimensions it did not fit: handles in the wrong place etc but that was resolved and I believe they used the amended version as the template for subsequent ones. Made in Batley, home of the Variety Club too!

Chester Zoo...

Song about cars and girls..isn't that Prefab Sprout?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1398201470' post='2431696'] This band, as our American friends might say, [b]kicks some serious ass [/b] [/quote] Surely that would be Justin Timberland...?

I understand "basswood" is pronounced like "ass".....!

I'd say using the term "mong" is vastly more ignorant than using poor spelling/punctuation or grammar...

[quote name='jgmh315' timestamp='1397671338' post='2426355'] For poly finishes, lighter fluid. Cleans, polishes, leaves no residue and no swirlies or polish marks. [/quote] Also very handy when your guitarist sets his axe on fire in the Hendrix Tribute set...

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1397596597' post='2425597'] When I bought my Marrkbass gear I contacted MSL re a good deal Thomann were doing and they said to not buy it, as the amps on there weren`t for our electric supply. I`m not technical, not good with all this stuff, but they said to get one from a British stockist, that`s from the supplier themselves. [/quote] Vested interest perhaps as MSL are the UK importer? As others have said they all run off EU voltage. The only issue would be buying one from the USA where they are 110 v . All my first MB purchases were from Europe and had no issues down to Voltage.

Don't the Bass Centre import them? [url="http://www.basscentre.com/ns-design.html"]http://www.basscentre.com/ns-design.html[/url]

Just got "All Fall Down" from 21012 by Shawn Colvin. This track "Knowing what I know now" has to be the best Pop/Country song I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=024dDO7yLvo

Guess if I bought it I wouldn't be changing the strings every week....

Your only issue will be the difference in weight...!

Pretty sure we've had this discussion before... USA is a bigger market and there is more competition, so lower prices. Mark Bass gear used to be the same price in $ as it was over here in £.

I'd [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1395837340' post='2406859'] No, you say it is clearly a Gretsch Electromatic, like it says on the headstock, he says, it looks like a hondo. And then proceed to the last step outlined above.... [/quote] You say "this handmade British Bass cost me nearly a grand mate". He says "Why does it have a Made in China stamp on the neck". You break into the riff for "Going Japanese" to hide your embarrassment....
