Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I should have the final details (sizing, returns etc) today but as soon as they are ready I'll make a forum at the top of the list called the BC Shop. As we are moving to the new site very soon I'll leave it like that for a bit because the new site has a special shop tab instead. I'm not sure what I'll do for the bass bash, because the stock comes directly from the supplier (so I don't front up any cash for stock) I won't be able to bring any unless I have some spare cash before the event - and even if I do, I don't want to risk returning home with some spares. I'll probably just model mine (plus hopefully some others will have their own by then) and ask people to purchase through the site for simplicities sake. I'm really working up against it cost wise. Spreadshirt et al. are OK but they pay very little and basically do the job I just did myself for you. I cut out the middleman and as such have kept prices down for you lot. More news soon and once again thanks for the continued support ped

I have just taken delivery of the sample Basschat Polo shirts. I'm just waiting on a few details before I can offer them up for sale direct from the embroiderer for a 48hr dispatch. Here are some pictures showing them in all their glory - with new new site (brand new BC software) being launched hopefully next week, it's an exciting time for us which we have been working towards for a long time now. I'm really glad it's coming together at last. I'm still working out final prices but they will be very reasonable, so really you should buy one of each. I hope you like them, it's taken a while to get them right and I'm really pleased with them. Cheers ped P.s any ladies interested give me a call, you might get a free shirt. [b]EDIT: BUY [u]using the shop tab[/u][/b]

I think it's going to be ready for final testing this week, hopefully. We'll probably leave the old one running and let people 'preview' the new site for a little bit before switching over so people can get used to it and we can take feedback. Should be really nice, I'm very excited! Cheers ped

It's the only limitation I was able to put on the area; I wasn't able to put some sort of limit on the number of posts that affiliates could make (to stop some people taking the piss) and as it turns out it's worked well as it is. The new version of the site which I have recently been previewing will have the ability to 'subscribe' to threads so it'll be far easier to manage, they appear like facebook notifications rather than emails. I would like to keep the affiliates area but I can't justify making is wholly visible in the 'new posts' area for free as it would undermine our paying sponsors who we really need at the moment whilst we're upgrading. Initially I hoped was that the affiliates forum would lead to donations from the companies but this hasn't worked, hence the change. Hope that makes sense...

First of all you'll need very neutral headphones. I have always used Shure E2Cs with foam inserts. I play through my Vbass unit and it's the same sound I have on stage (Vbass goes into a poweramp) Other than that, it's all about keeping everything flat where possible, or at least mimic the characteristics of your amp. It's a difficult one but I suppose only you'll know when you get the same sound everywhere. I find having one bass helps because you can get to know it's sound in a variety of environments and know what to expect from it. ped

It's been like that for a while now, certainly a long time before I locked and re-opened it. Cheers ped

Thanks for the input. I'm listening through lots of albums on Grooveshark (amazing website) and I'll be on Amazon later ordering some CDs I think!

Great, cheers

Just been listening to 'Slow Train Coming' by Bob Dylan feat. Mark Knopfler and I really like it, pretty funky and tight. Any other similar albums? Tracks like 'Serve Somebody' are right up my street. Cheers ped

P.s awesome avatar

Yeah it should be good. I had a preview somewhere but I can't find it at the moment. It's much easier to use than the full site and gives access to everything as normal. I view the site, especially PMs, from my mobile all the time so I've been looking forward to being able to afford this upgrade for some time. There will be lots of other new features after the upgrade, we'll announce them as they happen and try and give everyone a preview before switching over. The new site is being designed in parallel to this one so there won't be any 'downtime' Cheers ped

This week we have been upgrading to the new version of the forum software, one feature of which is a mobile interface, so it'll be ready soon! Cheers ped

Yeah speak to him in the affiliates area. Nice idea, actually. ped

I'll send this to my friend who is a massive fan. he just saw him at the Hop Farm festival. Annoyingly he is playing Copenhagen in a week or so, just after I left! Cheers ped

Welcome to Basschat - good choice of 'sound' - flats were a good move. I like the lower tension TI flats as I found others quite tight and harder to play. I think P-bass is a good choice for what you describe, definitely. Get stuck in and welcome! ped

Thanks for the PM It looks like a series III model with the 10/90 graphite neck system. Before it was painted I think it may be almost identical to the 5er I had for a while. Can't remember what I paid for mine but pretty sure it was over £1500. Lovely sounding basses, quite individual in tone due to the pickup placement and construction. Also one of the most comfortable basses I have played. Only thing I didn't like was the relief of the neck. The older graphite weave necks like my series II have virtually no relief making them really flat and low. The series III had a credit card thickness which I think is more acceptable to most people. If you like the relief and action then you're set for life as these things never move!
