The one thing that struck me was the starting price. When I first saw it I was expecting £1000 as it is Mickey Owens. I know he is a nothing in the guitar world, but usually people get carried away with the celebrity thing and price "accordingly"

[quote name='mart' timestamp='1376070146' post='2169397'] There are several different lines of Rockbag, with different pricetags, ranging from around £15 upto around £70 depending on size. You've probably got one of the cheaper ones with quite thin lining. The only Starbass-sized one is from their top-of-the-range line, so is likely to be a good deal better (though there are probably still better ones out there). [/quote] Yeah that is correct. I did state that it cost me £15. Student Line they call it. It is thin material.

Can I just add that I have a Warwick Rockbag that I only use for walking to lessons. I haven`t had it long and my Bass spends most of its time in a stand. The bag has got a hole in the bottom from the strap buckle at the bottom. It only cost me £15 so not a lot of cash, but I wouldn`t recommend one. I would imagine there are better bags for the money

Thanks for the tips.

What worries me most about it apart from the price, it doesn`t seem to have digital radio,, just FM.In a couple of years, a 5k system would be obsolete. Otherwise I would buy one

I have never seen any guitars in Westlife

I have been learning the bass sitting down. I can`t believe the difference as I can`t play a note standing up. Can`t see the neck and what my fingers are doing. Is it just keep practicing trying, or is there a little technique that might help?

It does come with a Fender bag though

Must be a good deal as 6 have been sold

Just found out I am on the Friday night shift, which will obviously run into Saturday. I will see if I can get a shift swap, as it sounds like it will be a good event

Dunno why you would regret it in the morning. I have no stick man to hug, but best wishes and speedy recovery to your stick man

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1373647284' post='2140225'] No, you don't even need to understand how to play bass. [/quote] Good, as I am as good at playing the bass as I am at Latin

Hopefully we don't need to understand Latin to attend either

Do people have to bring something to attend? I only have a Warwick Fortress Rockbass and a 50 watt Eden amp, so nothing of any interest. Oh, I am still learning as well, so can`t play anything

To bring the topic back to the original post, I like Deap Valley. If I had never seen them, I would still have liked it. They are playing what they want to play, and how they want to play it, and I wouldn`t run them down if they were ugly, but I don`t think the drummer is that bad to be considered looking like a man

I am stalling a bit. I was going to reinstall Windiws thinking it maybe something to do with that. I get script errors a lot

[size="4"] Is this a good thing, or a bad thing. I don`t really understand if it means it doesn`t work properly, or it is how it is meant to be.[/size] [size="4"]The the controls have no noise and there is sound from the output[/size]

Congratulations on your win Can you give a little review on it after you have had it for a couple days please?

I have noticed lots of Fenders in the classifieds on this forum. If they are so perfect, why are people selling them?

While we have no doubt that "Inflammable Material" long ago passed Platinum status, we NEVER received this award. No-one ever received this award. Therefore this is simply a painted disc, in a frame that some shyster is using our name on to sell for a vastly inflated price. As someone once wrote: "Don't believe them, don't believe them. Don't be bitten twice" !

I personally don`t like Mumford and Sons music. I have respect for them for finding a niche, and millions of people like them, so they can`t all be bad. I think the problem with festivals is you don`t have the same acoustics as a room, plus it is not as personal. It seems a lot of people have actually got a disliking for Glastonbury rather than the bands, as there are a lot of commercialism comment, and people with class issues. It was always going to happen, as it was getting so big , that it could no longer stay the way it was going.

Listening to Planet Rock this morning and the DJ reckoned Mumford and Sons were a masterstroke by the organisers. Putting them on last on Sunday enabled the car park to empty slowly, in an orderly fashion, instead of putting on The Rolling Stones which would have made a more chaotic rush at the end
