Mikey R

Roight, you wonderful Yorkies - whos up for the MOR music guitar fest this weekend? http://fibbers.co.uk/bands/514/ - Im definately catching Mantra, love that band http://fibbers.co.uk/bands/521/ A little dissapointingly, there isnt a programme on the MOR website, but there are flyers around town.

Works for me

Cheers everyone for putting this one together. Top day out.

Just a quick shameless plug - Im bringing along my MM SUB in case anyones interested, the For Sale thread is here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/156057-fs-music-man-sub-in-blue Im hoping to get the workshop back up and running so need the funds.

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1316733771' post='1382283'] If you'll appreciate a lift from the train station, PM me for my mobile number and I'll come and get you (Addlestone and Chertsey stations are the closest) They're less than 5 mins by car. [/quote] Cheers Hamster! But it wont be needed, Merton is picking me up tomorrow night and we'll head over on the morning.

I dont think Ive ever tried a long train journey with three basses and a bag full of kit. Hopefully I'll be travelling alot lighter in the way back

Ive just booked me train tickets for next weekend Im planning selling my MM Sub (sniff - but it never gets played). Would I be able to bring this along so that anyone interested could have a play? I seem to remember there being a For Sale type table the other year, are we doing that again this year?

[quote name='Merton' post='1308371' date='Jul 18 2011, 08:25 PM']Have persuaded MikeyR to come down from York again, hooray [/quote] I'd totally missed this thread. Yep, Im planning being there with the brown wonky fret wotsit and the blue monster.

you could try bypassing the tone pot altogether

[quote name='Gust0o' post='1179197' date='Mar 28 2011, 10:14 AM']Was good to meet so many forum members, and you all have some very nice kit. I was a little hesitant, being a first-timer, but can see this growing on me; and I'm still surprised at how local some of us are! Suggest some York beers?[/quote] Yep, agreed! Four hours was not nearly enough time to hang out and talk some bass with you guys.

Yep, huge thanks to Keith for organising and Phil for tempting me with a new shiny grunge box...

hmm, this may get expensive not long to go now folkes! im going to break out the alen keys and give the beasties a bit of a setup tonight

go for easily worked woods. yep, basswood is good, also considder poplar, lime, aspen, any of those close grained cheap species. you can probably get all the wood from a good sawmill for around £50 to £80 squids. enjoy!

Ah, that is just so nice! Beautiful sounds even out of my laptop speakers.

[quote name='owen' post='1134932' date='Feb 20 2011, 11:10 PM']Purple Turtle music for the 4 string set. I am nit sure if they stock the B. Roadtoad from the US for the B[/quote] Cheers!

Where do you get hold of the strings for these? Are they in regular music shops?

[quote name='retroman' post='1118947' date='Feb 7 2011, 02:40 PM']Cheeky GIT! Suppose I had better bring the mighty mudbucker bass along again if you're coming Mikey [/quote] Yep, you had! Playing that monster is a real experience

Theyre really not that expensive - [url="http://www.rapidonline.com/Electronic-Components/Optoelectronics/3mm-LEDs"]http://www.rapidonline.com/Electronic-Comp...ronics/3mm-LEDs[/url] [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/components/optoelectronics"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/components/optoelectronics[/url] Make sure you calculate the correct resistance to limit the current!

I skipped a few pages, so I dont know if anyones brought this up. My Bass Collection is a keeper, only because it wouldnt fetch much second hand. Its a great lightweight bass, but since its probably worth just a little more than a burger from a van, I would have to be very down on my luck before I sold it.
