Feel free to gush and cover me in compliments!

Thanks for the offer - I am already going with a bunch of people (not sure how many yet) but would be good to look out for each other when were are there. I will be looking out for Bluejay so I can get my Basschat Lanyard off her.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1390932308' post='2351484'] Well, I will be wearing my BC lanyard, and so will many other BCers visiting the show. I will also have a number of lanyards with me, which I can give to those who still haven't got one [/quote] Cool I should be there on the Saturday so I'll look out for you!

So for those of us who are going and don't have the attractive Basschat polo shirts etc how do we recognise each other? Hang a little orange hankerchief out of our left hand jeans pocket?

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1390927955' post='2351407'] You could argue that it's actually the most conscientious sellers who refuse to risk things getting damaged in the post. [/quote] True but then IMHO they maybe should refuse to post. Not agree to post but at the buyers risk. Any buyer keen enough could organise for their own courier/friend/family to collect it or to arrange a roadtrip....

I think the seller refusing to be responsible for shipping also reduces the incentive for the seller to make doubly, doubly sure about packing the item well and offering the best possible protection. Otherwise they (in theory at least) could get away with a single layer of bubble wrap and a few bin liners to send a bass guitar through the post without worry of comeback if (and in all likelihood) when it arrives at the other end damaged.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1390573949' post='2347059'] I took delivery of a pair of Fender Tony Franklin basses from the US last week. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxgf2gg6cQ4&feature=youtu.be[/media] [/quote] Wow they are both very pretty! I especially love the one on the right. Great colour combo!

I got one of these free with my Ibby SR300 and it has served me well for over a year now. No complaints and it cost just over a fiver! [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_gs2001e.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_gs2001e.htm[/url]

Seems to have been removed now.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1390425381' post='2345423'] Does my Demon bass qualify for this bizarre bunch? [/quote] Yep I reckon!

No probs! Happy huntin'

I have an Ashdown Tourbus 10 available for sale (I haven't listed it in the for sale section - but in case the mods are looking I have paid my £20 for unlimited sales for a year! Surprisingly small and great for bedroom practice without disturbing anyone. For such a small cab it does kick it out and has good tone until you turn it up to full at which point it starts to lose its composure and becomes a little flatulent but I have only used it on about 3 occasions as I bought my Hartke A100 combo shortly afterwards. Also has bass/treble eq, phones out and MP3/Aux in. They retail at £69 - PM me an offer. I live near Watford so we could meet halfway if you are in Twickenham? *Edit - I have listed it now - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227773-fs-ashdown-tourbus-10-practice-amp-mint/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227773-fs-ashdown-tourbus-10-practice-amp-mint/[/url]

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1390404454' post='2345041'] Since you've decided to replace/move the bridge (because of that sheared mounting screw with the existing cheapo bridge) you're no longer having to get a bridge with 5 matching mounting holes for what was there orginally; this opens up your choices and also means you might only need to move the new bridge mounting holes a few millimetres fore or aft of the existing holes and still have plenty of wood to go at. [/quote] That is indeed true! What other options are there? I know you can get 3 screw BBOT's but that doesn't help me really! Are the three screw options the same as above but a variants of each or are there some good (and not too expensive) bridges which come in other forms?
