It looks like a cartoon monster has taken a huge bite out of the back of it

Use Bootsy as style inspiration…ultimate pimpage

After yesterdays Bowie marathon I need a bit of dirt = Refused – The Shape of Punk To Come :brow:

If you’re gonna take it to a shop anyway then have a little fiddle around with it and see if you manage to do anything constructive…you’re not gonna break it The hands-on approach is the only way you’re going to learn these things. Nice looking bass though man. I love the deep trans-red and black hardware – great look.

I’m discovering David Bowie for the first time. Last night I told my housemate that I didn’t like him, this morning I’m working my way through his whole back catalogue…I think it’s going to take the rest of the week to get through. I’m cheating at the moment though – “Best of David Bowie 1969-1974”. So far I’m really pissed off with myself that I’ve never given him much time. EDIT: update - wasn't too impressed with some of the 'funky' 1974-79 era except a few of the big hits, but enjoying most of the 1980-87 stuff...

i didnt think they were ANYTHING special, and if anything i would have said they were very average – They didn’t seem to have anything original (look/sound/etc) and seemed to be quite passive performers. I think it was definitely a case of being in the right place at the right time, and Peter Jones knowing the publicity that the show will give them and seeing “£” signs in his eyes with the “30% of everything” deal. Fair play to the bass playing lead singer though, you don't see many of those at the moment

Give a headless a go if you’ve never played one – they’re not to everyone’s tastes and it would be sh*t to drop £1k+ on a headless Status and not like it. I played a headless a few years ago and I just couldn’t get on with it. The way it felt was so weird and I found that subconsciously I always felt that I was lower down the fret board than I actually was because there was no headstock, so I always felt out of position (if that makes any sense…it does in my head anyway )

radio 1...it's all sh*t though they should put Zane Lowe on 24/7…just 38 mins till he’s on

I've been eyeing up a nice Sunburst SX Jazz for a bit...don't think I'll put my money where my mouth is for a while though. Major major MAJOR GAS this week/month has been for a Shuttle 6.0...one will be mine shortly

There's a few free software drum machines around - i'd say use one of those if you're just gonna be jamming along with it for a laugh and nothing serious. It's not worth buying an Akai for just domestic tinkering.

cheers for the help guys - I might have sorted out a deal on a 2nd hand UL310 fingers crossed it works out

Are there some serious reliability issues with these then?

mucho gracias!

I’ve done a bit of google-ing and I can’t find anywhere that sells Epifani cabs in the UK. I took a look at the list of international dealers on the Epifani websh*te and there’s no one listed as a UK dealer?!?! Where the hell are you guys buying your Epifani cabs from?! (I’m guessing a couple of London shops must stock them?) OR…to save me some hassle, does anyone have a UL310 they would like to sell me or trade for an SVT-410HLF?

QUOTE (obbm @ Apr 8 2008, 12:31 PM) I've been approached by a member to supply some long mains leads. I can get some 6-metre moulded leads but like all things the more you buy the better the price and the lower the postage. Anyone interested in any at £5-each plus postage from me to you? maybe I'm a bit late with this...but I'd have one off you I'm always having issues with short Euro leads when I'm setting up at a gig.
