Bought my case from Italy before I realised Thomann had them cheaper. If you can get around the postage by ordering over their threshold, they do seem to be the cheapest. The cases do protect the amp, mine never leaves it and contrary to some comments I have seen elsewhere, despite having holes on the bottom for ventilation, rain will not get in unless it bounces 4 ft up from the pavement!

I heard a few bars of "Dune Tune" (unless it was the Stanley Clark song he ripped off!) at the recent Yorkshire Bass Bash....

This is clearly a very slick operation as they have taken off the machine heads and are selling them seperately. They obviously realised that you can't polish a t*rd!

I can recommend Roqsolid and they usually have some discount deals too!

and I emailed the seller a week ago suggesting he change the wording.....

WTF is it?

[quote name='ARGH' post='234700' date='Jul 8 2008, 07:59 AM']Yeah,this is a bad one,Ive just woken up,and Im still angry. And it isnt my Bipolar either,I actually have a reason,and Im still pissed. Phoned my guitar playing friend and ranted,he understands,Im gonna take 6 months out,mothball my gear,think about my options ,both socially and educationally,probably quit...take the money and run. You cant lose if you dont take part.[/quote] Having met you briefly (I was too busy organising all these wonderful bassists), you came across as a really sound and friendly guy (and that's not damning you with faint praise!). True, "you can't lose if you don't take part, but (triteness alert), " you can't win if you're not in". Why not put the bass(es) on the backburner for a while and do something else for the summer? I've found opportunity sometimes presents itself when least expected and sometimes pushing for it is not always the answer. If you need anyone to baby-sit the 9'er..... Sorry if this all sounds irritatingly simplistic!

Bit apprehensive about our gig at the Queen Vic in Northowram as the Landlord asked if we bring many supporters and of the many I invited, only 2 turned up! However gig went very well, Landlord manages another pub too and was down there for the crowds seeing Chantel McGregor, leaving us for the more discerning clientele! Very few left during the evening, the bar staff were singing along (always a good sign) although I managed to step on my lead twice and come unplugged( Yes, I know one should wrap it round something first...). Our singer, after over a years gigging, still needs the crutch of her music stand with words, which we just about get away with as we do some "Jazz" but I think she hides behind it and needs to project and communicate more with the audience.... Anyway, the Bar Manager will recommend us for a re-booking: we like doing some pubs as we invite along prospective Wedding/Function Clients so they can see us in the flesh. Gave a CD to a couple who had just come for a quick meal and stayed to watch us: they said they'd come and see us at our next gig. Next gig is on the singer's home turf, let's see if I can hide that damned stand!
