Dear joe_bass In August 2011 you sent me a message asking to borrow my 'Fender an Illustrated Guide' book for a 'short while', I sent it at my own cost. You haven't responded to my PMs and I believe a 'Short while' is up, could you please send it back. Thank you

[quote name='Freddie75' timestamp='1421405943' post='2660774'] Cab I'm using is 700 watts / 4ohms so need something quite powerful. Many thanks in advance! Freddie [/quote] Can I ask why it needs to be powerful?

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1420149099' post='2646202'] Well this is a supposed reissue of the wah he used, and the original pedal came with a built in fuzz circuit. I don't think Morley are trying to claim it was his main fuzz pedal. Anyway, I thought he used the Power Wah Boost which had a boost circuit built in instead of fuzz, but if the wah section is identical then it's close enough! [/quote] I had an original, I bought it for £15, I have no idea where it went.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1421236088' post='2658688'] But shops like the one you work in (plus Bass Direct and The Gallery) are specialist shops and tend to cater for the more discerning musician. I go to shops like that specifically to see non-mainstream products. The OP was talking about the typical all-round music shop. Their customers was stuff that is familiar and cheap. [/quote] So a person who buys a Fender can't be discerning?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1421229528' post='2658574'] These days shops have to play it safe in order to stay in business. TBH the majority of bass players (i.e. those not on Baschat) don't want interesting. They want something like a P or a J bass preferably one that says Fender on the Headstock. [/quote] I find Fenders interesting, I don't like novelty items.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1421230151' post='2658585'] As long as the online stores stay in business we can have an infinite selection of instruments delivered within a few days at the best price so from a selfish point of view what will we lose if the shops close? [/quote] I look at it the same way I look at my bike stuff if I want something big like wheels or in this case a cab I'll go online but if I need something small like an inner tube or strings I'll go to a shop

You know where they can stick that.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1421176171' post='2658109'] If we don't buy, the shop doesn't try. 2-way street. We can't complain about shops not trying after declining bass sales. That's why I'm trying to say that we all need to pull in the same direction. Want basses in shops? Buy basses in shops. They are businesses, and they will stock things that sell, and not stock things that don't sell. After these basses have been sitting so long, once they're sold, do you think they'll be replaced with more bass stock? [/quote] I disagree we don't have an obligation to buy from them, they are the ones who are trying to make a living, don't make the effort, don't make the money.

Fad.

Contact the BBC for an audition, but this bloke has the job at the moment.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1420713895' post='2652367'] What other sort of band is there..?? [/quote] The type of band that pretend to practice but actually play arcade games Band practice is tonight, I must learn NBA Jam.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1420660203' post='2651910'] [i]"I always have fun when I'm playing, however I don't play for fun, I play for money"[/i] [/quote] It's a very strange attitude that I think is exclusive to music, I can't think of another hobby that people would be expected to be paid to do.

Have fun, play music, make friends.

So in our guitarists garage there is an arcade machine that has every arcade game ever made as well as ever console game up to 2003, we do that. In fact I can't remember the last song we played, good times.

Would you post it?(At my cost obviously)

What years would that be?

I'll call it Bob.

I have a bike that weighs less than that.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1419962765' post='2644407'] Yes I know, it amused me too - an innocent question, I'm sure. As it happens I'm looking for a D**m*nd B*ss C*mpr*ss*r - but I certainly wouldn't mention it anywhere other than in the 'Wanted' forum. To do so would be ethically wrong on the one hand and against forum rules on the other. [/quote] A Desmond Buss Cemprassor?

It's all a bit wonky and the paint looks terrible, early Dingwall?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1419870589' post='2643373'] He speaks very highly of you though, Wayne... [/quote] Someone has to

Ugly and stupid much like Gene Simmons
