[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1387307066' post='2310566'] The more I think about this....... Cockups and equipment failure, fair enough. Lying to a customer about what they were doing with his legal property, property that he had every right to expect was being legitimately repaired under warranty but which was in fact being repaired by someone who may not only invalidate that warranty but - if the fret story is anything to go by - could leave an unsafe piece of electrical equipment....... It's a job for Luca if you ask me. [attachment=150623:lucabrasi.gif] Again, name and shame [/quote] Beedster, Luca Brazzi and retribution. Threads don't get much better :-)

I'm glad it's sorted. I had an SR five string top ender about 7 years ago that had issues (can't remember what exactly) and that was refunded and collected by the retailer with no hassle.

Totally unacceptable even for a budget instrument.

I'm about to start gigging regularly with my Mesa Boogie 400+ and I was wondering what spares should I carry? I'd be interested to hear from any users of big valve amps what they carry as spares. I already carry a good DI but should I carry an array of valves too?

Carol Kaye always encouraged students to stay away from learning scales by rote and instead heavily encouraged (is she dead? I'm referring to her in the past tense and sounds natural) learning arpeggios. She also discouraged using major thirds and claimed to have played all the major Motown bass lines so you have to be careful with anything she says. Very generous with her time though. I learned scales on guitar. I learned arpeggios on bass and find them to be infinitely useful. I'm off now - I'm just not into posting on Basschat like I used to be.

Like a lot folk that have already posted, a BB2024x and a probably a BB2025x. Unbeatable instruments to my taste. I'd also like a Skuker lightweight JJB signature.

Another easy deal with Simon. Many thanks for a great swap!

Lovely job! That gives me loads of ideas. Can't Get Enough by Bad Company is a goer so is Learn to Fly and Ever Fallen in Love - my guitar-playing alter ego sung those in the past

My band currently has no singer so we're writing a set list based around songs that I can sing whilst playing. I'm looking for some suggestions for some covers that have simple bass parts, sound OK with just guitar, bass and drums and that people at a chilled out non-cheesy wedding would enjoy. We've got some Chilis, Tom Petty, Beatles sorted, what else could we do??? Help!
