Don't get many videos of people playing bass like that on a greco SG copy!

I had a bit of a problem with the grill. First it had a bit of scarring on it, luckily just one side, so it doesn't show, and the minor marks on the front are covered. Second, the holes don't line up with the edge, so I couldn't get screws in one side, and they are right at the edge on the top. Seems pretty solid though.

Looks like it took preference over the skirting boards after all!

Can only take cash on collection, no paypal because I am out of the country right now??

We just use google calendar, you can just knock up a free account and subscribe to it from anything. Yeh, I wouldn't be doing that. They want to be in a band or they don't, so either they leave or I leave, I can't be bothered to put up with that attitude, I would just go and find a band that wanted to play. There is enough hassle being in a band without that. I admire anyones patience if they put up with that more than once.

It was not one for me.

Stick one through an echo pedal and a distortion and they sound awesome. Edit - the bontmpi organs, not anything by kay.

I know - tricky, unless I do the bose trick. Most of the time I will be using it with my TC450, and using it upright, as nature intended, but it does look nice that way round.

Quite happy to feel less of me then, as I won't do oasis.

shouldn't stickers be spelled P-E-T-R-O-L?

My last band was a half covers half originals band. The guitarists heart was obviously in his originals but the crowds, and in fact ours was in the covers because they were simply better songs. The thing about covers is they don't have to be sex on fire, there is a whole lifetime of stuff that is good and different out there

We put all the days we can't play in the calendar, then all other days are free to book. We have virtually never cancelled a gig barring major illness.

It certainly is a perfect fit for that amp

Sounded pretty good sitting in front of it. But it is not a big room. Will take it to practice on thursday and decide if I will gig it next weekend. I suspect I will regardless.

Last picture (promise!) - got the grille on, and now I am thinking I might put side legs on it as well!

And that was so long ago that probably a very large proportion of those girls in that choir are now grandmothers.

Lucrative

Mine are pretty different. My 1605 is more similar to my Maruszczyk than my 2605, although that may not be too surprising as I had the Maruszczyk made from the dimensions of the 1605. They do all sound different though.

I don't necessarily agree with all your points, but if we are raising a party to throw rotten eggs at Paul Weller, then I am definitely in!

I remembered from looking at the pictures I didn't put the corners on. I painted the grille today as it was sort of warm and dry outside, so gave it a few undercoats and a single coat of black, but then it started raining so it is in the shed drying for a while. probably put it on tomorrow and then I guess I will be complete, and the only thing left to do is gig it!

I just got a fender Aerodyne bass. Speaking as someone who is pretty well exclusively 5 string, I am not sure how much use it is going to get, but I do like the look of those and it plays really well. If not it will always sell.

Welcome to basschat then local person! gives you a few months to find your way round before coming down to the SW bass bash!

yeh, I would go on with that. I mean I liked Michael Kiwanuka most, but then I already liked him, but she and her band had the most life to them. Elbow have always been advert or background music to me.
