That must be some sort of scam surely?

[quote name='IanA' timestamp='1445193603' post='2889521'] Nice, what amp are you using with it? [/quote] I'm running it with a glockenklang blue soul, very clean uncoloured class D. I've no reason to suspect the berg wouldn't be just as impressive with something more old school like a streamliner though if that's your bag It a great cab and a trade off I'm happy I made... Not much point having a rig I can't get to gigs!

I've been using one for few months now. It's easily loud enough for a rehearsal with a loud rock drummer. Good deep tight bass, not at all honky. Also it's really easy to transport around on a trolly. It is not as good as the pair of 112s it replaced but its always a trade off with size vs power. I'm more than happy with it but I'd want another if gigging without PA support.

Flats on a p is one of the quintessential bass tones. I had jap 57p with chromes and vintage frets -wonderful to play and deep smooth tone with the treble rolled off.

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1445031052' post='2888389'] I never thought of myself as having lead a particularly sheltered life, but I honestly have no idea what half of those things are. It sounds to me like a rundown of the starters at Aintree 🐴 [/quote] I didn't either... But I googled them and now I do... My advice is not to do that.

Nothing looks cooler than mesa gear.

This thread is making me want to go out and buy one today...

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1445001077' post='2888057'] Holy Smokes Rob Size 2 !!! A bit difficult to store stuff in a matchbox sized shoebox... [/quote] Yes I often worry about losing her down drains, cattle grids, cracks in the road etc...

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1444997471' post='2887995'] Mrs C must have huge feet! [/quote] Conversely Mrs C has ridiculously small feet... I often point and laugh at them. ... despite the lack of availability of normal person shoes in a size 2 she has managed to aquire a collection of a biblical scale.

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1444994980' post='2887956'] Mummy! Mummy! Rob said a rude word! He said "W**"! [/quote] WAL, FODERA, FBASS, ENFIELD, GUS!

It's probably easier to list the basses that I don't have GAS for...

Not yodel or myhermes...

[quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1444988778' post='2887860'] Rob - you just had to go and do the W thing didn't you! [/quote] I know... I know... no more pics I promise.

[quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1444988161' post='2887842'] That's a beautiful piece of wood, but I'd be petrified of catching the knobs on something and shearing one off. Oh - and it has 2 more strings than I need, but a fabulous piece of craftsman ship by the look of it. Your pride and joy no doubt. [/quote] I'm more than happy with it.. especially as I had to wait 18 months for it! Not everyones cup of tea but it's everything I hoped it would be. The front and back facings are Ziricote... I also got Paul to add a little piece on the headstock face.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1444983338' post='2887780'] I don't see the clockweights. Can we have a close-up of your clockweights, please? [/quote] I'm no longer allowed to show my "clockweights" to anyone after an incident on the bus last year...

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1444929176' post='2887459'] Oh my gawd. I just invented the marital bass case: it's double layer, and in one half you store 1 (one) bass, whilst in the detachable half, you store 5 (five) pairs of her pumps. The crux of course is in the rules: if she wants more shoes, this will only go if there's space left in a readily bassed marital bass case. [/quote] I'm in... where can I buy some? The rule is going to be that she can only have more shoes if there is space in the marital bass case for them... If there isn't then a new case must be purchased and I may fill my half with another bass... You sir are a genius.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1444921933' post='2887384'] ...instruments which don't look like grandfather clocks on straps. [/quote] This is actually a fairly accurate description of my bass...

[quote name='John Schoen' timestamp='1444934065' post='2887527'] I wanted to give mine away to a Scot; he insisted on paying for it. They are that good. [/quote] Mine was so good that it once saved a small child from drowning...

The bass guitar was invented partly due to the incovenience of lugging a DB about with you...maybe a try a cello instead if it's just for a few songs? it will be quite an undertaking to learn an entirely new instrument!

Every available bit of storage space in my house is occupied by a pair of Mrs C shoes... If I buy any more basses I'll have to build something in the garden to store the cases.

[quote name='DavidMcKay' timestamp='1444909438' post='2887191'] I like the Wetherspoons example... [/quote] Do wetherspoons still do curry night on Thursdays? ... it's Thursday today... I may run the gauntlet of chavs down holloway road this evening.

You guys with loads of basses (of which I am most jelous) do you have cases for them all? If so, where are the cases? I had six basses at one point last year and they didn't take up that much space on the rack thingy I've got, but the cases took up half the bedroom...

I had one for a while and thought it was an excellent bass. Good fit and finish, well ballanced, P bass like playability and a wide selection of tones available... nothing to dislike really

I've always liked the look of this... Although I'd never buy one as I couldn't get past the gold hardware, short scale and the fact that it's someones signature bass... they look damn cool though.
