Beccles is in my neck of the woods (sort of), but I definitely don't need another bass (currently have 5), even if it is a bargain.

The man is amazing. I can't sit still listening to him play. Such a fantastic tone and technique, I wish I could use a pick like him.

[quote name='oggiesnr' timestamp='1390346860' post='2344485'] Interesting experience tonight. Had a morris dance practice and usually I play quite melodic lines. As I have left hand issues at the moment I had to dial that right back and played simple root/fifths and simpler progressions, concentrating on the dancers rather than trying to be clever. The result was that it was commented on how much stronger the bass was tonight and how much more lift it provided. There in lies a lesson for me. Steve [/quote] Interesting! What side are you with? Might have seen you at Towersey last year

Just last night traded with Paul. Our second transaction and a pleasure doing business with him. Thoroughly nice bloke! We mustn't make too much of a habit of this or the Shell garage we meet at will wonder what we're up to! Thanks, Bryan

Played on Saturday in The Royal Oak in Ipswich. We may well be the last band to play there as it hut it's doors for the last time yesterday. First set was good, plenty of people dancing and having a good time, we all played well. Second set was something else, place was packed, everyone really enjoying themselves but none of those crazy drunk types, just really good happy people (quite a few familiar faces). It all went a bit mad when it came to encores. We were supposed to stop at 11:30. Them's the rules. We played our "last song" at 11:20, and the crowd want more. So, we played them one more, and they still want more. So we thought "sod it, who's going to complain" and we played two more, and then another two more after that. During one encore song everyone but the drummer ended up playing from behind the bar, we must have gone back into Wheels of Steel about 5 or 6 times. Steve (lead guitarist) played the entirety of Whole Lotta Rosie on someone's shoulders, while being transported all around the pub. I ran to all corners of the pub during Let There Be Rock. It all got a bit stupid but was fantastic fun.

I've met a few BC'ers, and they've all been great chaps. Thoroughly nice community to be part of.

You'd think they could have managed more than one mic...! He's a talented guy. Also, did I spot a guy playing DB at 3:06? Is that not a bit redundant with Sting plonking away?

G30 Update - The crap little plastic bit which holds the metal clip onto the transmitter broke off, i now have to attach the transmitter to the strap using tape at the start of each gig. Less than ideal. These G30s are capable, but not really cut out for a hard life of gigging, I suppose that's the point of the G50 and G90 units. Also, I have encountered the battery-door-popping-open-during-the-set problem a couple of times...!!!

I have a Hondo II Professional, it's a double cutaway type, and not really a P at all, but it's certainly a nice piece of bass. Details of Flat Eric's Hondo are here: [url="http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/hondo-professional.html"]http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/hondo-professional.html[/url] it seems to be that gold sunset looking H logo is the one to look out for.

Damn, I'm more of a support monkey that a code monkey. I should learn to code! All sounds good. Pictures?

Crikey! that's a bit of alright!!! Looking forward to your impressions. Any chance of soundclips? Also, Are there any jobs going at your work?

I'm tempted to do the same on my Thunder Jet. No way of knowing what the wood beneath is like, but the finish on the bass is a weird turquoise colour, definitely not original. Could you give me a brief step by step on what you did please?

That BC Rich is insane, what a mad array of controls!

That Ibanez looks awesome! Properly well thought out by the looks of things too. Shame they're so hard to get hold of. Do the Dean basses have a passive switch? I don't tend to get on all that well with active basses...
