Of course its obvious, I said the same thing in the previous post. But I still think they have to be positive as they own the video rights!

Pretty well all of the BBCs reporting is how great it all was and how nothing was wrong at all. I guess they have recording rights to sell to other countries!

I think there is a big difference between seeing a group when you are there and watching it on the telly. I saw some of it yesterday. Saw blondie, watched the first half of the first song and thought, no, won't watch that - she was hitting the notes though, but everything else was wrong. Saw sparks - they did do some of the hits and I thought they did pretty well, not that much different to what they always were - crowd seemed to like them. GnR, well, they were always bad - impressed they made it on stage, so techincally better than they used to be. Generation Sex, well, we actually watched a few songs as we were laughing so much, so no arguments there!

Honestly I think there is a reason for that. There are some basses I would be happy to sell at the right price, but I don't need the money from selling them or the space they take. So if I advertised them I would advertise them at a price that I was happy to sell them for - if that was too much for some people then there would be little interest, but maybe at some point there would be someone interested. If it takes a few months - a year whatever to sell, whats the problem, there is no additional charge to list once it is up, might as well leave it there and if someone is interested they are, and if they aren't, no loss.

I enjoyed the QOTSA set even if they look like a disparate bunch of criminals

SRF700 - two extra knobs, piezo bridge volume and tone

When I think of a stingray, I think of Bernard Edwards long before I think of flea. And I have a lot more of fleas music than Beranrd Edwards. I guess some images just stick.

There is? Oh how did I miss that - was that near the food??

Looking good - it has already almost killed the plant in front of it!

Maybe it was the way it was demanded, or the time? I would be impressed if a signature deal ever really affected any bottom line in any way.

Sadly not entirely!

Pff - what I think of as recent (obviously the 80s), their parents weren't born!

Highway to hell I just walk around a bit, get a chance to drink, check the mix is fine. Its like Alright now, it is nice to get a bit of a break now and again!

I watched a bit of the GnR gig - I mean his voice was certainly not great but who is this mythical Axl Rose that people are talking about who could sing live? I have seen them twice in the 90s, I never heard it.

I use wireless pretty well everywhere, practicing at home, outside, at gigs, wherever, can't be doing with cables. The wireless I use depends on where I am, around the house I use my cheap ammoon 2.4g dongles, and they are just fine, good batttery life etc. Live I tend to use the 5GHz dongles, no interference with anything and just trust them more. I have just got a bongo in exchange and love it, however, I have noticed if I use the 2.4g dongles or the Boss Waza Air I get a high pitched interference - its a bit better with the dongles as they can be moved around a bit to where it is reduced a lot (but still present), but the waza airs obviously don't move - its kind of hard using those. If I use the 5GHz dongles, no interference at all however I move them round, so not a gigging issue. I have 10 or so other basses, mostly active from cheap to expensive, and a chapman stick and upright bass, and none of them suffer from any wireless interference with any of those things. Has anyone experienced this? I presume the bongo is unshielded as are probably most of the other basses, and maybe there is something in its circuit that is prone to 2.4GHz noise, but it is irritating that I can't use it with the waza air, unless I put an extension lead on it.

Well, that is fine, its not like anyone has any need to be playing up there!

No

Also wedding - local, arrived early to setup the PA so they could do their first dance to it, so setup was easy (apart from all the children helping), rest of the band turned up later, we started earlier than we though, but then they gave us a lot more money than we thought! Long gig, but apparently we sounded fine, it was the first gig with the old guitarist as the new one decided it wasn't for him and the old guitarist decided it was for him. Played my new bongo, it sounded great and was good to play. Finished at 11, packed up, home and put away by 12.

I was specifically refering to on here. If you have a bass on here that is say £1000, then it goes down to £700, people still not interested, so you do a 'this will be 500 for the weekend and then it is going back up', I don't understand why someone who was interested in it when it went back up wouldn't just message them and say I will have it at the £500 - you were happy with that at the weekend.

I would say the first one is reasonable statement, rather than a threat. The second, well, I have never seen that, might as well leave the advert. The third, that makes no sense - if you don't get the lower amount you sure as hell will never get the higher, and even if you put it back up, people know you will accept the lower amount so seems pointless.

A pickguard can be changed, but then it is no longer complete so it is worth less. Its not about them being instruments, its about them being collectors items.

wow- even a lefty P bass! I guess our music store didn't have that much money, although I don't remember them being there a long time

Would love to try one - unfortunately like many of these things, it is very hard to try anything anywhere, at least anything that isn't a fender so chances are it wouldn't happen - it would also have to be a second hand one of the right spec so no real chance of coming across any of them.

I remember seeing a antiga p-bass, strat and telecaster in a shop together when i first started playing (new) - didn't like them at the time (or any time since), but they certainly looked noticable as a collection.

Love the 1605s, but seems like all your spalting has fallen down to the bottom!
