[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1337427064' post='1659733'] If you have to go to the Post Office to return this parcel it will be going by Parcel Force? It should be possible to get them to collect from your address - they offer that service on their website. [/quote] I was specifically told it had to go to a Post Office and be signed for behind the counter with a form they emailed me. Can't remember whether it was ParcelForce or not for certain but the forms were not like those I have used in the past with PF

[quote name='silentbob' timestamp='1337388486' post='1659353'] I did request a courier pick up, but was just emailed the form. Never mind, it's already on it's way back to them. Just seems a pain in the arse that you should be expected to lug a speaker cabinet to the nearest post office. Don't know what I would have done if I'd had to return the head aswell. Don't like the idea of asking somebody to watch parcel A while I pop back to the car for parcel B. Guess I'm learning my Thomann lesson the hard way [/quote] This is exactly what happened with me with the faulty Markbass combo. I also was not too chuffed to have to drive to a Post Office, lugging it along (pretty heavy when boxed up), and then queue for 20 minutes behind 27 grannies and grandads getting their weekly savings cash out .....

[quote name='JayPH' timestamp='1337363212' post='1658911'] Go On. Make sure you recipricate [/quote] OK, I've liked everyone else's band page (and Letts Guitars) on this thread apart from yours JayPH as I can't locate your band site - what is it? Got a link?

In a rock vein, Steve Harris isn't too shabby

Hi Owen, glad the Clarus is working out I have an Acme Low B-2 (2x10") on order from the US and reckon that will sound fantastic with the head from my Acoustic Image Ten2 combo (essentially same as your Clarus but single channel)

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1337417003' post='1659506'] Active electronics? Huh? [/quote] No battery compartment. just a listing error

Tony Franklin?

Hi all, my band All The Queens Ravens is trying to get to 400 likes. We have pics, music (three of our finest tracks) etc on the page ... and there's more in the soundcloud link in my signature if you really [i]do[/i] like what you hear! We are an eclectic and very melodic mix of folk/country/blues/flamenco in a bi-lingual melting pot, with two utterly stunning harmonising lady singers Here ya go http://www.facebook.com/queensravens Thx all in advance :-)

Lovely refinned '65 Jazz in sonic blue at the Gallery (although a near-£6k price seems somewhat optimistic) [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=2292&type=Bass%20Guitar"]http://www.thebassga...e=Bass%20Guitar[/url]

The girls in bands with DBs are good looking too! [attachment=108155:415393_375073882539606_100001109917240_1079848_1182756167_o.jpg]

Onstage time confirmed at 6pm. Cheeky bump!

Several have sold in the Amps for sale section, including one I bought and eventually sold. I think a couple of changed hands recently. Generally go for £500-ish depending on nick but I believe there's one FS at £450 right now, but its pick up only

[quote name='Hector' timestamp='1337099989' post='1655478'] EDIT - Is he using some sort of hybrid picking technique at points in there? Guessing he's using the pick between index and thumb, but also using middle and ring for plucking other strings. [/quote] Looks that way to me, in the quieter chordal parts

I find this much more interesting and melodic than a slap-fest although I do think I would get a little tired with the middy/treble tone of that bass over a long gig. Its definitely good to see someone who has great facility with a pick as well (like Steve Swallow) to challenge lots of baked-in notions about the 'right way' to play certain genres of music. Finally, sorry to be a pedant but his first name is Carles

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1337084164' post='1655077'] I think there's a common misunderstanding that if a '75 doesn't have exactly the same features as a '75RI it's fake [/quote] Next you'll be telling that wasn't a real R*ckenbacker 4001 you sold me, Chris
