I never knew my bass was sooo attractive to the female of the species! Hamster

Since my holiday plans are now on hold due to my boy breaking his leg, I'm now a definite maybe / Anything in my sig you want me to bring, or shall I just bring a cowbell? I live in Chertsey and have a big car, so if you need a lift for you and your rig PM me. I don't mind travelling a few miles off route to pick you up. Hamster

I'm always happy to see poetry in motion Why does the top remind me of those ink-blot tests? Hamster

[quote name='bassbloke' post='40839' date='Aug 3 2007, 11:48 AM']I have just ordered a J3ZD for my US Deluxe V. A snip at £104 inc priority express USPS shipping. It's sure to be a major improvement on the stock Fender preamp. Can't wait.[/quote] I thought you were saving your money to get your bass amp fixed by Steve? Hamster

Well, I've just had a cheque in full compensation from Interparcel. Claim was passed to their claims dept from Customer Services on 29th July, cheque arrived this morning. A happy ending but I'd rather not of had the hassle of repairing it in the first place Hamster

That was dead good that was Hamster

[quote name='ped' post='43021' date='Aug 8 2007, 07:24 PM']As soon as the parcel is at the depot just cruise over and ask for it - the letter from them will arrive at least two days after the parcel can actually be collected.[/quote] When I got a parcel from the USA through USPS / Parcelforce I got the letter [i]before[/i] the parcel arrived at the depot. It was their practice to send out the letter as soon as the parcel arrived at the port of entry to try and address the problem Ped points out. Safest thing is to ring the depot, which I think is at Mitcham for you Hamster

Got to be Fender with the question criteria Hamster

[quote name='Baseballfan1456' post='39838' date='Aug 1 2007, 07:54 AM']I went into Guitar Center a couple days ago and I saw a black Fender P-Bass in the store on sale! I figured I wouldn't let the chance to get it pass me up so I bought it! The only problem was that it didn't come with a bag or anything...but oh well, I figure I can get it next time... Also, I really love the way my bass sounds when I play it :-D[/quote] Congrats! - a great choice of bass, doodle away and have fun fun fun Hamster

[quote name='dood' post='39729' date='Jul 31 2007, 09:10 PM']Welcome aboard! We have one or two Sax players on the board, so I'm in no doubt you'll fit in nicely! Post away![/quote] :wacko: Hi Sax - we also have quite a few bass players too! I think the Schroeders look good to, however if you're good at woodwork and want to make yourself a better cabinet for a fraction of the price - have a look in the forums for Bill Fitzmaurice cabs Hamster

[quote name='ped' post='39575' date='Jul 31 2007, 04:07 PM']Hi folks, My Vigier semi-hardcase needs a new zip. I have been to town and had quotes from £90 - seriously - and finally a very helpful woman in Millets gave me the details of [url="http://www.lsr.gb.com/"]this place[/url] which will do it for £20-25 but I will have to post it. Does anyone have any contacts I could exploit at this point? I can get a new one for £65 but would kind of prefer to fix up the origional, we share fond memories. Cheers ped[/quote] That place sounds quite good. The only other thing I was going to suggest would be to check out any small tailoring/repair shops in your area to see if they would be up for it?
