  1. [quote name='steve-soar' post='700018' date='Jan 3 2010, 09:45 PM']A young Jean Reno.[/quote] *spits out milk*
  2. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4-BXdG0bsQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4-BXdG0bsQ[/url] is also very cool... Hang on, I'll embed the clips:
  3. In fact, my previous comment doesn't even begin to cut it - bloody awesome is more like it.
  4. Strewth!! Maybe I need a new avatar!!
  5. My word, I better have a hair cut. If that's what I really look like, no wonder I'm doing so badly with the ladies! ped
  6. Really nice - I used to have a BB75 which was a great bass, very versatile. I remember the Carvin case smelling very strange - does yours, too?
  7. Oh yeah I didn't notice that!! Well actually if I am being hyper critical I think I preferred the old shape 'plate, but it's a stunning bass and I bet it's very comfortable. ped
  8. It's a difficult one. I am 'endorsed' by Vigier, but all it really means is I get a discount (not that I would ever be able to afford another) and I get my mug on their site, but because they are such a small 'company' it's just nice to be asked and I feel like a part of the family a little bit. I mean lots of people seek endorsements just so they can say they are endorsed as a badge of pride (I have a drummer friend who is the WORST for this!) and others actually rely on those endorsements for supplies (like Rich and Elixir strings). I think Xzantes is definitely right to walk away if the deal is pointless. ped
  9. That's the nicest looking GB I have seen so far!

[quote name='dunetune_jazz' post='693669' date='Dec 26 2009, 12:48 PM']QUOTE (chris_b @ Dec 23 2009, 11:02 AM) * .... and when you've sold please DON'T wipe out the description or ask the Mods to delete. It's very handy to see what has been sold. Ta. Agree .... QUOTE (jake_tenfloors @ Dec 23 2009, 11:07 AM) * Totally agree with this. Especially if your trying to sell the same thing and want to try and work out the market value for it! Agree... QUOTE (gnasher1993 @ Dec 23 2009, 09:40 PM) * This is great. I really hate the PM for price style threads. It really winds me up. Totally disagree... with this one ... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Totally disagree with this one and it takes away from the sellers right!!! What ever happened to freedom and choice?? ... It seems that one person makes a recommendation and it law????? I think you should have the right to ask people to send a PM, If they want to know the price and if they are genuinely interested then they will either buy or make an offer on the bass... (it gets rid of the time wasters and tire kickers). As a bass community people should deal fairly and honestly, that is why basschat exists?? And if people are not given the freedom or choice to state their price or ask people to PM then you may find that basschatters may resort to not listing their regular and collectible basses and rather sell privately off the boards to friends and people they know. Also if we are on this subject.. I think that someone also need to address the issue of people posting nonsense and making un-related comments when your trying to sell a bass ... the amount of times I have seen bass forsale threads hijacked is way too many times to mention if a person is trying to sell a bass leave them be .... unless they are making a false or untrue statement... Just my 2 cents ...[/quote] I think that the new rule REDUCES time wasters and tyre kickers if anything. All too often the timewasters/tyre kickers are the sellers who ask for people to PM them for a price. At the end of the day the marketplace needs to be as open and clear as possible now that we have so many members and to be honest, if you are selling something, you need to publish a price to keep things above board and reduce the amount of problems people come to me with saying 'such and such said I could have it for such and such but then he said this and sold it for that to someone else' - granted it doesn't happen very often, but as I cannot get involved in any disputes, I want to keep things on a level playing field. You can always sell on eBay without a BIN price if you prefer, but then there are the fees and so forth. On the whole I think this will make things much better for the majority of users. ped
  11. Thanks mate - having seen some of your pics that's quite a compliment!! I did start a Flickr group members thread here somewhere but can't find it now! ped
  12. Wicked, show us some pics and add me on Flickr if you sign up!! We can be Flickr buddies [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chiscocks/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/chiscocks/[/url] ped
  13. Ah sweet - you'll love the Canon. Nice piece of kit. Just try not to go mad with lenses right away!!
  14. Well as I am 100% happy with my bass gear and have been for a while, I got this bag for my camera kit! It holds: Samsung GX1l with 18-55 and 50-200 lenses Ricoh GX1l compact Braun Paxette rangefinder Spare 35mm film AAs and charger Filters Remote Bonus tabletop tripod (the gorilla pod is in the top section) Cheers! ped
  15. Cheers - don't thank me though folks, Johngh brought up the issue. Have a great xmas ped
  16. I was just billed by the HMRC - £1,800 by jan 31st! Terrific!
  17. [quote name='Clarky' post='692709' date='Dec 24 2009, 12:07 AM']There you go hyping again - the Vicuna is clearly better adapted to higher altitudes than the Lllama, weighs less and can bleat louder when pushed [attachment=38825:408.jpg][/quote] LMAO Classic post.
  18. Trade threads are still fine yeah. Just if the seller decided to sell there must be a cash price. And if anyone sells to me, they must reduce said cash price by 50% Cheers ped
  19. Hi guys We have decided that from here on in, sellers must clearly state a price when selling items in the marketplace. This will make transactions more upfront and stop people effectively holding private auctions. If you have a thread without a price, please edit and add one - any new threads from now on will need a price. See rule #5 for sellers here http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=rules&f=19 Cheers ped
  20. Yep, so I think we are all pretty bored of this discussion now! So someone didn't like a BF cab. Cool. Well actually he does like it. Or whatever. Read the review. I have lost track and this thread is now far from useful. ped
  21. Lads. That's enough. Seriously. It's a box with speakers in it. Seriously. Finnbass ped
