[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1460765910' post='3028663'] We're aware of how much the owner pays as a maximum [/quote] Is it part of your agreement with the manager that this maximum fee has to come explicitly from his pocket? Maybe it's always a mix like this and, depending upon how much the crowd donates, the manager takes more or less of a loss for which he then has to make up the difference. Or was last night a change as to how you've done it in the past? I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I feel that specifics like this do throw a completely different light on the matter.

Felt like one of those deliberately eggy moments in a Bill & Ted film. Was he drunk?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1361778823' post='1990545'] Yup. MK played bass on the track "Easy" from the Riddle album. A slight change of direction maybe, but Nik sang guest vocals on this track too... (Bass played by our very own JD1) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T64YKHUY1dA[/media] [/quote] Good song. Somebody shoot (or cut one foot off) the drummer.

Very lovely, a cracking tone and nicely played. Well done.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1460384261' post='3025208'] I was wondering about the apparent lack of a G-string. [/quote] (Geordie accent) You wouldn't let it lie, would'ya?

I like my Eastwood Classic 4, if you don't mind shortscale basses.

Thanks for the video Wateroftyne!

I payed a brief visit to Maruszczyk's shop a few weeks back. It's just outside Aachen which is miles away from where I live, but we had a day off, on tour, nearby. I only had a limited amount of time, but made the best of it. The shop is in an old converted tudor-style complex (OK not really Tudor 'cos it's in Germany, but you know what I mean) in a tiny village. The man himself wasn't there unfortunately, but a young assitant was very helpful, offering me tea and biscuits and information if I wanted it. Otherwise, he just left me alone to noodle on as many basses as I felt like. Fun , but also purgatory, if you know what I mean... After 45 minutes I couldn't remember anymore which bass I liked more, or less, or was it the neck-profile, or the sound, or, or, or...that way lies madness. Anyway, the reason that I'm boring you with all this, is because of one thing that really caught my [s]eye[/s] ear. They had a number of basses with a j-p-j configuration (yes, you read right, 3-pick-ups). Aesthetically appalling, I must admit, but what a range of sounds, and fully passive. I was really surprised. Being someone who's not a big fan of active electronics, this seemed a nice way to have a broader range of sonic possibilities within a passive instrument. Fugly, I'll grant you, but some cracking sounds. Oddly, I can't seem to find any of these basses on the Public Peace website.

That looks/sounds like loadsa fun! Thanks for posting.

Motor boating meant something entirely different when I was a teenager 😏

Niiiice....

Had freebies to go and see Duran Duran a couple years ago. I went with some mates who were my age too. I have to admit that, despite myself, football-crowd singing along to Rio, Wild Boys etc. was loads of fun 😊

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1458774346' post='3010884'] Ah takes me back to my youth!!! But where do you start with these as there are so many. I picked this one because If you went to a club in 77, 78, 79 they would play this monster at least once - monster because you'd need some stamina to dance for that long but people loved it and the bass parts are wicked!!

Captain of the Heart - Double

But is it any good for metal?

Block inlays and bound necks. Oh, and sanded necks.

Hi There, the Site is legit, I've bought from them before. As for the seller, who knows. I speak fluent German. PM me the text, in English, that you would like to send them. I'll translate it and send to the site ir seller as you wish. I can also help you handle any further correspondence. I'm on the road at present, so may be a little slow in answering messages from you. Still, I'll do my best. Cheers Paul. EDIT: p.s. You'll probably be OK with English though. Most Germans, and particularly in a music context, speak very good English.

[quote name='krispn' timestamp='1457567648' post='2999819'] I wonder if Leo tried the reversed position in early prototypes? [/quote] Rumour has it that he would gave done but Mrs. Fender didn't go in for that sort of thing 😜

The Beatles....oh 😳

Done.

Superb. Brilliant idea and a nice composition.

The delivery has arrived today, and they've sent me a complete new electronic, including the control plate. Big up for Thomann! @dave_bass5 thank you so much for the picture. Maybe the washers are just added to keep all the pots at a nice even height?
