My party piece is stringing 2 notes together, in tune [b]and[/b] in time. Or 'Anaesthesia (Pulling Teeth)' by Stiff Burton. Played badly mind.

Fantastic gig this weekend, trouble was it was in my head. Note to self - play gig soon and take pics to prove it happened.

Cracking bands, the lot of 'em! Check [url="http://www.myspace.com/evolvecore"]Evolve[/url] for some real sh*te. An acoholic drummer in liver failure, a drug casualty singer who persists in taking drugs, a guitarist with mild anxiety/depression and a bassist who can hardly get out of the house due to work / childcare commitments. Why are we not famous?

Significant time passes. Person A posts that they're now thinking of upgrading to bass Y. Person B asks "what are you thinking of doing to bass X?"[/quote] Every day I'd imagine!

[quote name='OldGit' post='286585' date='Sep 18 2008, 01:14 PM']Mine has two FO big proper handles inset into the sides .. not level or in the right place for balance, and they were fitted upside down when I got it but a lot easier to shift .. oh and it's on wheels too ..[/quote] Tea>>>screen. Wheels? Bastard.

[quote name='OldGit' post='280573' date='Sep 9 2008, 05:48 PM']here you go then ... not my decor, BTW [/quote] How man, that's mint! I'll try and find a pic of my old 300, sold broken to a mate for 50 quid, mended itself and hasn't gone wrong once being gigged every week for the last year. The 50 quid paid for 2 chiropractor sessions to undo some of the damage it did though. One handle on the top - great idea Peavey!

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='286457' date='Sep 18 2008, 09:49 AM']Thanks mate Not quite Pompey colours, but close enough eh? [/quote] I'll send you a sticker! Look great on the top horn it would! /ducks/

Briefly played with an EBS Bass-IQ the other day - seemed great, so I've just dug out a Russian Bass Balls I was lent years ago by god knows who (ferrett? ) and never used as the box is just the right size to fit under my alarm clock, making it visible from bed without moving. Not too much chance to play yet, but I can only seem to get one usable sound out of it. That sound however, has got 70's blaxploitation cops n robbers car chase mofo funk written all over it, so feet off, velcro on and onto the pedalboard with you my son. Jubbly.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='286448' date='Sep 18 2008, 09:29 AM']I'm fortunate enough to have my dream bass. It took ages to arrive but it was worth it.[/quote] Oi oi saveloy! Lush mate.

[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='284787' date='Sep 16 2008, 09:45 AM']I like it You have to be careful, as has been posted higher up, but if she fits well and you can play her better than her current owner then something has to be done to rectify the situation![/quote] And then you can enjoy her before she moves on to the next owner.

I get the guitarist to do it for me.
