He seems as obsessed with re-cutting nuts as we are with commenting on his "techniques" and descriptions.... long may it continue!

All this angst about shoddy Rickenbakers, should have just bought a Fender.........

I concur too.

Just gone to look at it (on GT) and there is a pre CBS Fender Jaguar for sale..trouble is it's provenance was from Music Ground.........!

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1342649819' post='1738890'] Had a singalong to Roger Whitaker's "Durham Town" today - which I also have on CD, (did I say that out loud? ) Great song, though for a Geordie type bloke his geography's off a bit. [/quote] Not actually a Geordie.... which may explain his geographical faux pas!

This Bass was played on the hit "The only way is Up" by Yazz.

Is that "cute kitty" actually "soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur"?

I expect the Norwegian visitors would......!

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1342470237' post='1735820'] He'd have you believe that.... if you look at his fretting hand he is actually into the main riff of Mr. Pink! [/quote] Looks like he's playin chords....

[quote name='bruce@tc' timestamp='1341927555' post='1726326'] Hi guys The BH250 head is priced at £245 SSP inc VAT and should be shipping at some point early September. I had a play with one on Saturday and it is rather cute and sounds great (yes I know I'm obviously going to be biased) Unfortunately we were rather taken aback with how quickly the first two batches of the BG250 combo sold through, but (although it won't cover all our dealer backorders) a large number were shipped end of last week into the UK. Best bet is to have a check with one of our [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/Default.asp?Id=12427&AjrRgn=122&AjrRgnTtl=United%20Kingdom%20&region=nonus&zip=&cpc=1"]authorised dealers[/url] and get them to let you know when they're in stock. There will be more arriving in August. Cheers Bruce [/quote] Hi Bruce Regarding the BG250 combo, a recent review in BGM said it was made in UK. is this the case? Cheers

You would think if he is worried about "black propoganda" he'd like the yellow on a Mark bass cabinet/amp oh, and just like before he tells us twice in the gumtree ad female bassists are welcome to apply....

.....and if we are going to be really picky: " band has roots in roots music". Repetition?

You'd be better posting this in the for sale section....! Also your links seem weird....

Think I got some from the US when I briefly had a Tbird w/o saddles, cheaper on ebay USA than this country at allparts who were out of stock anyway at the time.

"Oi Keef, ows abaht bringing Bill back on Bass?" "Yeah Mick, magic innit"

I made a pearloid one for my VM Jazz using the original plate as a template....

"In great working order"...how can anyone tell as it's missing some vital components?

Bass Gear at Twyford have some Boulder Creeks, last time I looked they were reduced.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1341941738' post='1726703'] The Rickenfakers test will go down like a lead walrus mate [/quote] Their (Rickenbakers) legal team will close down BGM in 30 seconds!

Ended up not being sold, I did contact them and said if it was genuine then I'd sell a pot of air from the Stone Roses gig as genuine too.....

I'm 57 and got my first Bass aged 19, so thats....err 38 years!

My Zoom is only used for its tuning capabilities now: inexplicably all the FX seemed to have stopped working...and yes I've tried a reset to factory settings and not turned the volume off!

My A5 fretted sounds fine through my LMII rig and 2x10 Traveller cab....
