  1. But there's one thing I gotta know ... should I stay or should I go?
  2. Now that it looks as if Silvie & I will be at NAMM next January, we'll bring you one back if you like, Mick. It won't work on UK voltages of course, but at least you'll have one.
  3. [quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1502096344' post='3349212'] [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Sorry, was a joke - the most common use of the word "concrete" in English is [b]hormigón in Spanish :-) [/b][/font] [/quote] So what does the OP mean by the word "concrete" in this advert? I'm not trying to be rude or funny - I genuinely don't understand.
  4. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1502789699' post='3353501'] I want the implementation of Graphene cabs. And I want it now. [/quote] Bwahahahaha!!! Hell yes. I'd buy one of those. Failing graphene, how about the world's first carbon fibre bass cab?
  5. I've no idea if I am unable to do it - I've never tried. Never wanted to, either.
  6. With your name, Mr. Apple, I suspect you may be next on the list ...
  7. Well I guess we're reduced to the bear necessities then.

  8. [Emmett Brown] Great Scott! [/Emmett Brown] I'd completely forgotten about that.
  9. [quote name='roceci' timestamp='1502573204' post='3352300'] Lovely! Trade for an Affinity P with cash my way? [/quote] Why not swop his ASB1 for your ASBO? [size=4] [/size]
  10. Execution seems like an appropriate punishment for this.
  11. I haven't got a problem with it Mick. I was well aware that Eubassix is a dealer when I sold it to him, and it's not as if he conned me into selling it for a low price! If he can make a (huge) profit on this bass then good luck to him.
  12. What, no U2 stuff posted yet? Shame on you all!
  13. Unbelievably talented? Indubitably. Worst sounding snare in history? Pretty damned close.
  14. As it happens, I trust Thomann. A damned sight farther than I'd trust Barnes & Mullins. I still wouldn't buy this head though. A 500W version would get my attention.
  15. So I'm sitting here with Issue 147 of BGM (allegedly the September issue, but I can't help noticing that there's more than two weeks of August rain left) and the full page advert inside the front cover states that the Elf is Available from all good music stores. It doesn't actually say "all good music stores in the USA" so I guess you have to take that as being implied. The power supply is not mentioned. These are not the amps you seek.
  16. Absolutely lovely. Just for the record, would you be interested in any trades at all?
  17. [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1502370006' post='3350996'] he introduced Supernature by Cerrone ... Starting out as a radio presenter he knew a good tune when he heard it too. [/quote] Gary Numan + ABBA = good tune?
  18. I recognised Philip Pope straight away, but I had absolutely no clue that was Angus Deayton!

  20. This is what it looked like when new: http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/library/Basses%20SOLD/Prosebass%20Custom%20V%202008%20SOLD
  21. Ah yes, the good old days. [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Performance/Sundry/band-pics-027web.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Performance/Sundry/band-pics-027web.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I was the first owner of this bass. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/52472-prosebass-custom-5-string-review/
  22. [quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1502276175' post='3350377'] [i]"Very surprised at the suggestions that a shortscale sounds just like a longscale. Quite clearly YMMV, but every shortscale I've owned (= lots) sounds markedly different to a longscale, with a greater degree of "thuddiness" which works very well for some things (blues, reggae, quite a bit of light jazz) but not so for other things." [/i] May I ask which are the musical styles that you consider a short scale to be less suited? - just curious.. My Mustang does a mean P Bass tone and I'm yet to find a musical style where a P bass doesn't work [/quote] I have no doubt that your Mustang is a great bass, and plenty of great rock songs have been recorded using one. The same is true of Hofners, Mosrites, and any number of shortscale basses. But if I got a call to play on a rock gig I'd be more inclined to reach for a Precision or a Thunderbird than for a Mustang. No bass does a meaner P bass tone than ... erm ... a P bass.
