  1. [quote name='grumpyguts' timestamp='1461921096' post='3038704'] Will be doing it again I hope, just got to think of a band name. [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461921470' post='3038706'] I suggest 'The Chapel Hat Pegs'. [/quote] What a stand-out idea!
  2. Bump for the weekend. Something else I should mention - there is an audible pop when switching between active and passive. Sometimes it's quite loud, sometimes not, it seems to depend on what amp it's plugged into. Also s small amount of crackl when operating the volume pot, but no crackle when actually playing. Nate Mendel P added to trades list!
  3. My recollection of Marlins is that the hardware was made out of an alloy which scored somewhere between 'Cheddar' and 'Red Leicester' on the cheese hardness scale.
  4. [quote name='therealting' timestamp='1461155227' post='3031923'] You need to try them, honestly. The Epiphone 339s are pretty good for the money, but honestly the Custom Shop 339 is probably the best value Gibson there is. [/quote] Speaking of which, just seen a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282093-all-original-gibson-custom-shop-es339-2010-vintage-sunburst-50s-neck/"]gorgeous sunburst 339[/url] on sale on BC. NOTE: I have no affiliation to the seller!
  5. [quote name='pineweasel' timestamp='1461845823' post='3038120'] Looks like this place in Bournemouth have them: [url="http://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk"]http://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk[/url] I tried a Kala U-Bass at Duke of Uke in London and it put me off buying one. Too expensive for what it was. [/quote] Not sure I want to be seen going into a ukulele shop! Looks like Ms Axe and I are off to Bristol today...
  6. Thanks for the heads-up chaps. I would really want to try before buying, which would necessitate a trip to either Bass Direct or the Gallery. Anyone know of other bass uke stockists in the South? EDIT: Just found that Hobgoblin Music in Bristol have a couple of Ashbury (budget brand - not Ashbory) bass ukes in stock.
  7. Follow these simple steps to accelerate your bass's ageing process with hardly any effort: (1) Make yourself some sleeves out of sandpaper. (2) Fix a small lump of concrete to your belt buckle with grip-fill. (3) Wear them whenever you play your bass. (4) Round up all the old keys from around your house and chuck them in your bass case or gig-bag
  8. I certainly don't miss old transistor amps. They were cack.
  9. [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1461774207' post='3037556'] I mean, the funky one about f**king his girlfriend while she sits on the sideboard with her feet in the drawers lacks a certain [i]resonance[/i] under the circs. [/quote] Or indeed the one about getting it on with his sister.
  10. Just had this out for a play and had some second thoughts, but I can't justify keeping it just for home use so still up for sale. Don't forget trade options.
  11. Hello BC posse, I am considering a hollow uke style fretted Kala U-bass and I wondered what action and intonation adjustments they had. Or are they built spot-on so that adjustments are unnecessary? Off you go...
  12. Have fun, and make sure the audience knows you are having fun. If you do happen to play a bum note, everyone else will be too busy having fun to notice.
  13. It's in good condition. Apparently.
  14. Paul bought a phone from me in a hassle-free transaction. 'Nuff said
  15. Love it.
  16. [quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1461498060' post='3035104'] The funny things was his favourite was......... my cheapest bass - the Fender P with D'Addario Chrome flats! [/quote] Nothing odd about that - I have 2 and I'm contemplating a third!
  17. Easy like a Sunday morning bump
  18. I have a 'vintage' 73 Precision, and a modern 63 RI Precision. The build quality on the modern one is better by a country mile.
  19. [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1461408699' post='3034380'] I've never sold one. I only have two basses (a Fender P and a Fender J) but I happily play them both and don't feel the urge to buy any more. This approach must have saved me loads of money over the past 30 years or so [/quote] Are you sure you're in the right forum? This is a GAS forum for GAS-afflicted people!
  20. (1) Lack of use as above. (2) Coming home with a new bass, looking at the old bass, thinking 'I won't be playing you any more'. Unfortunately (2) has led to me selling a bass that I now wish I still had!
  21. [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1458231663' post='3005836'] So, what happened when you put the bass through it? [/quote] Sorry for the late reply - you could hear it, but the lowest notes were not very loud and/or ran into distortion very quickly. There is now a bass version available.
