  1. I have the boss one, in operation it is exactly the same as the ditto and runs on batteries There are more complicated options but it depends what you need it for.
  2. [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1455788116' post='2982370'] I would find that hilarious if it wasn't so depressing... This is happening all over the city. The whole of London is getting eaten by these people! It wasn't that long ago that Highgate was a bit rough and relatively cheap, I rented a room there about 10 years ago for 50 quid a week. I love north London, much prefer it to south and I wish I could move back there instead. I used to live in St Johns Wood until last year and found that less snobbish than Dulwich and Herne Hill, believe it or not. As it is, I'm moving to the arse end of s.e. London, because it's the only place we can still afford a whole (tiny) house, practically in the suburbs, but I can't wait to be amongst some 'normal' people again. I do miss the old London a lot, even if it was a bit rougher round the edges. [/quote] The old London simply does not exist any more... there are no undiscovered pockets of cheaper housing anywhere near the center. Places like Brixton, Clapham, Walthamstow and even Stoke Newington that ten years ago were vaguely affordable, you now will not get a house for anywhere near half a million. There is a block of flats going up around the corner from me on the outskirts of Camden, nothing special and a good ten minute walk from the nearest station. For the half of the development that isn't social housing, prices for a studio flat (everything in one room and a separate bathroom) start at 695'000 and all flats have been sold before the building work is complete. Mrs C and I are resigned to renting for the years we have to work in London, then we will buy a house when we retire somewhere cheaper
  3. [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1455786454' post='2982346'] Somebody (or some other people) thought so as well. It's sold out. [/quote] A bargain for someone... I had the sunburst one as well, they really were excellent basses. Worth keeping an eye out for any more if anyone is after a decent jazz for a ridiculous price
  4. I just assume that I've lost every penny of the cost of anything I've bought... whatever I get back is a bonus really
  5. [quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1455785191' post='2982332'] You're not going to Highgate are you? [url="http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2016/02/12/people-eavesdropping-posh-mums-north-london-comedy-gold/"]http://www.thepoke.c...on-comedy-gold/[/url] [/quote] Highgate really is another world... I walked through there at the weekend and it was all mock tudor gated communities
  6. [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1455784884' post='2982327'] And today, just one RH Jazz. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_jb_75_na_vintage_serie_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._serie_deko.htm[/url] '75 natural. [/quote] I had one of those it was excellent
  7. I will consider partial trades against this with cash my way for fretted four strings what have you got?
  8. I have to turn down the volume on my Wal whenever I'm running into anything other than my amp. Zoom B1on clips at the input as did my old sansamp, which was very sensitive to a hot input signal.
  9. So who owns this now I've lost track?
  10. [quote name='slapierro' timestamp='1455651712' post='2981205'] Is it an ebony fingeboard? [/quote] Yes it is ebony... a very dark piece at that.
  11. [quote name='WishIcouldplay' timestamp='1455718590' post='2981783'] Hi CamdenRob....no trades thanks [/quote] No worries Cash is King! GLWTS
  12. Bought an EQ pedal from Dan. Couldn't have been an easier transaction Just as things should be.
  13. [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1455641430' post='2981017'] Do you mean as in real cops who play bass ? or as in Bass playing cops (like fashion police) [/quote] The bass fashion police? Sorry son... no tort, single cuts or gold hardware, this is a family establishment...
  14. ... discreet made me do it officer
  15. [quote name='eude' timestamp='1455640560' post='2981004'] That's a though that's never far from my mind, but I'll need arm extensions first, to really enjoy a Thumb Bass :-( Eude [/quote] True... I would want a thumb though... bubinga / ovangkol. I keep looking at that 89 in the classifieds
  16. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1455632763' post='2980881'] [url="http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Just%20Stuff/Sundry/TalesPoster.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] I remember that... it was awful...
  17. This thread is giving me inappropriate thoughts about buying another Warwick....
  18. I was thinking about this a couple of months back... be interested to hear how you get on if you do go for it.
  19. Mike was kind enough to split one of his several projects for me so I could buy a neck to try on my jazz Great price, great coms, great packaging and arrived in good time, couldn't ask for more
  20. I saw a bloke on a rush hour tube with one of the other day... Now that's dedication... Seemed to have a wheel on the end pin to my eyes, although I am often drunk and mistaken.
  21. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1455323065' post='2978268'] I'm a 63 year old 70s New York Style bass guitarist. I play mostly vintage hollows. Blue [/quote] I've always wondered how old you are... You've never mentioned it before.
