Sorry.[/quote] Don't think I have ever seen a PRS bass I was tempted by a guitar version when I played guitar but the SG won te battle.

Why do they stick cheap plastic knobs on such a wonderful bass?

Need to get a better pic but meh.

[quote name='rikki' post='270567' date='Aug 26 2008, 09:07 PM']£175 ! thats crazy, they cant be that undesirable or bad surely. I dont suppose it is still there? Is that typical of the second hand price that i should be expecting to pay or was that a one off?[/quote] I'll check next time I'm in Canterbury probably the weekend.

Just thank god your not in a Punk band

[quote name='rikki' post='270485' date='Aug 26 2008, 06:42 PM']Any views on the Line 6 Variax 705? For some bizarre reason I fancy adding one of these to my collection but I have seen mixed views. I appreciate the simulations may not be 100% perfect but if they are pretty close they will be good enough for the type of work I do. But how do they play? Does anyone gig with one - how reliable are they? Do they ever come up second hand, I have been looking round and haven't seen any for sale, what are they worth 2nd hand? Anyone got one they want to sell? Dave[/quote] I saw one in X electrical in Canterbury for £175 I asked why it was so cheap and the guy said no one wants to buy them. That might give you an idea on how good they are although I have never tried one.

If you wanna be really pedantic Markbass is all one word.

[quote name='geilerbass' post='270464' date='Aug 26 2008, 06:11 PM']I agree with this. I don't expect bands to stick around for me - considering some of the 'eclectic' bills I've played on, I wouldn't for a second assume that any of the other bands are into my music - so I often don't stick around for other bands, unless they look like my cup of tea and I'm not faced with an epic journey home. I appreciate that it's courtesy, but I'd much rather have a true gauge of who's into our music. I don't think other bands, politely staying behind, despite their ambivalence to the music, gives an indication of this and while I appreciate the support, it doesn't bother me in the slightest if they don't stick around.[/quote] Slightly off topic but the 'eclectic' bill thing really annoys me, promoters don't seam to wanna put a night on for 1 style anymore it would make more sense for lots of reasons.

Mark Latimour's blue Sadowsky I'm thinking of buying some burglar tools

I used to fiddle with stuff and make it worse now I have a dusty set of allen keys and my fingers crossed.

[quote name='BigAlonBass' post='270065' date='Aug 26 2008, 10:30 AM']Hofner Artist. It felt "right" when I tried it out in the shop, (I was only 13!) and it served me as my gigging Bass until I bought my first Precision 5 years later. Beware! Black and white '60's photography alert!

Believe it or not, there are people out there who think Warwicks are fugly...[/quote] I think Warwicks are truly gastly but this is the man who will soon have a bright yellow P and is lusting after a Pink one.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='269801' date='Aug 25 2008, 09:46 PM']Cheers Wayne - It'd be great to see your lot getting through to the finals or indeed any basschatter's band - I particularly enjoyed your myspace song - it reminded me of my UK Subs coloured vinyl 7' singles. [/quote] We nearly played with the Subs long story didn't happen

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='269795' date='Aug 25 2008, 09:40 PM']LOL I'm a woman, I don't do things like that [/quote] Pfft snob

I boiled the strings on my Encore the other day I have had that bass for 13 years and never changed the strings (I put a new E on when I bought it because there wasn't one, I saved for 6 weeks for that string) on that bass I consider the strings a part of the bass. But otherwise once a month change or boil.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='269786' date='Aug 25 2008, 09:33 PM']I'm checking out the competition on the [url="http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk"]http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk[/url] site. Waynepunkdude has uploaded a couple of his "the plan" tracks including one that I've been pogoing to gently in my chair. There are lots of bands already on the site, some and some not so, so I'm sure a bunch of old f@rts like my lot: [url="http://orangeunsignedact.co.uk/acts/obviously-5-believers"]obviously 5 believers[/url] don't stand much chance of getting through. Its very heartening to know that there are plenty of bands about that still play real instruments and write their own songs rather than all the Simon Cowell karaoke competitions that usually get shown on telly.[/quote] Cheers matey. I agree I don't think either of us will get far we just don't fit the mould but a bit of exposure never hurt anyone. I did enjoy your songs man.

Don't forget to defecate in your hand and throw it at the audience as a finale
