Hamster

I did this one once for a school - we got the kids to sing the chorus - have a listen - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qga5eONXU_4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qga5eONXU_4[/url]

Nik will be along sometime over the weekend to start to add some detail to the day. I expect we'll be asking for donations to a prize raffle as usual, so start dusting off your Alembics and '58 Fenders to donate!

Sometimes I hate myself for doing cheap tricks like that............... But if the gentleman wants to pop back to this page and say hello properly I might change it back............... maybe

It's always a judgement call about closing a thread, and I'm not saying my judgement is always spot on (I once bought an Ashdown cab ffs!) The thread in question was about gear not selling, so several pages of Tim jokes was far enough off-topic for it to take a rather late bath. The 'staff' are always grateful for threads/posts being reported as we spend enough time here as it is without having to read every post every day. Some reported threads we let run for a while as the forumites and Bajistas are quite a good bunch of chaps and chapesses and can usually sort things out without much bloodletting - so a big [b]Thank You[/b] - to you all, it makes modding much easier! Got to dash now as I'm half-way through waxing Dood's legs and he does like a matching pair.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' timestamp='1339519558' post='1689825'] that's what i was going to suggest. pretty cheap too (used), arond £50. [/quote] I was amazed when I first used mine - how the hell does it do what it does? - It gives a big FAT yet spacious sound. Mines never been off my board since the day I bought it.

There's a good compressor in the for sale section here - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178543-trace-elliot-smx-dual-compressor/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178543-trace-elliot-smx-dual-compressor/[/url] Also IMHO something like an Aphex Bass Xciter or BBE Sonic Maximiser will really thicken your sound up.

Status Quo Proper music even blokes dance to!!

I bought a nice pedal from Ben in a very easy and pleasant transaction - Cheers!

I tend to agree. I spent most of a day in the Bass Gallery playing virtually every 5 string in there. I did have a budget to stick to but was so very impressed with the Laklands I tried that I really wouldn't have walked out of there with a much more expensive bass even if I could have afforded it. I think I preferred the 55/02 so very slightly over the 55/01, and the difference between the 55/94 and the 55/02 was similarly small. I still reckon the 55/01 has to be just about the most value for money / bang for buck 5 string out there. The [u]only [/u]other bass I tried that had a 'better' sounding B string was a Dingwall - but I don't get on with them.

Ask to see pictures of the frets............... I reckon it might need a refret?

Which post? - can you put a link here for me to find the bit you're having problems with?

Thanks for the links - but most of our members can find their own way around the internet and are aware of album releases. Why not go to the Introduction section and say hello properly?

I've looked at this bug several times. It looks like it's still a bug then

I have bought one of Keir's Stingrays - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176118-musicman-stingray-5-now-sold"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176118-musicman-stingray-5-now-sold[/url] An excellent guy to deal with and recommended without reservation to all.

I use a Line6 G30 all the time now - really good and has never let me down.

Andertons seriously damages my bank account!

Instead of doing an image link bb code to the image, just type in the url of the image, then the recipient can view it fullscreen.

There's a setting to scale the images in a post, but there's no facility to scale them in PM's. It may be tweaked in a future forum version release.
