    In my forty years of gigging experience I’ve learnt a few tried and tested rules… the organisation and provision of angling is essential cultivate an atmosphere of sociability and promote the principles of fair angling join in with other angling bodies in furthering angling interests adhere strictly to the statutory closed season on Club waters, the suppression of unsportsmanlike conduct and illegal practices The renting or purchase of water for the use of its members, and the management of these waters and their fish stocks is encouraged appoint a Club bailiff to preserve Club and other waters fished by the members and to assist in the detection and prevention of river pollution and the preservation of wildlife promote good conduct at competitions for the encouragement of the sport and the benefit of its members promotion of, support for and opposition to legislation affecting anglers and angling and the use of its influence to improve existing laws the promote the arts of angling by instruction, demonstration and good example

    @adledman this is not the version with the Piezo fitted. No trades thanks.

    FOR SALE GILLETT CONTOUR S FRETLESS - SOLD Well here's a rare thing. Firstly I'll put a link to the Musicradar review of this bass. Secondly I'll link to @scrumpymike's original advert. Thirdly I'll quote @scrumpymike's spec from his advert... Here's a short-list of key features: Rosewood body; maple ‘C’-section neck — 41mm (1.6”) at nut, 54mm (2.13”) at 12th fret; sculpted ergonomic recesses for fore-arm and rib-cage/beer gut; single active neck pick-up; thru-body stringing; adjustable nut; medium scale length = 31.75"; weight = 3.75kg. Fourthly I will explain why I am selling. I purchased this from @scrumpymike a few weeks back. I have a fretless being built for me by @Jabba_the_gut but I wanted a fretless to tide me over until the Jabba bass was finished. I got it home, put in the rack and haven't played it since, I practice the fretless songs from our set on the fretted bass I have already acquired from Jabba, so this beautiful bass is sitting in the rack and gathering dust, something I don't like to see. I paid £900 for the bass and £100 for the extremely funky, faux snakeskin, fur-lined hard case. I'll include the case in the sale. There are a couple of minor scrapes in the traditional top of the headstock area, you can see the pic on Mike's original ad, otherwise it's in pristine condition. Any questions or alternative photo requests (of the bass you hooligans) please PM me. Happy for you to come over and try the bass out or to bring it to you (try me, I like driving). I'd go as far to say this bass is one of very few made (I think I'm right in saying that, no doubt @scrumpymike will tell me if not) and also that I don't think anymore are going to be made.

    Damn. Proper saluting and all that, I fear my position of Bridgey’s gardener (lawns only) may be very much in jeopardy.

    The hold-ups with the Geezer Butler pickups is often due to injuries sustained tripping over a pished and passed out Ozzy.

    Having had an AER I can say they are excellent as are PJB and Acoustic Image, both of which I have played through with both acoustic bass and acoustic guitar but all three were easily beaten by a powered speaker and a good preamp. I use a QSC K12.2 and used to use a Fishman Platinum Pro until I got a HX Stomp. The Stomp and the QSC is, by a country mile, the best set up I’ve ever had for playing in my acoustic duo, I’ll never look at a trad amp/cab or combo again.
  18. Frank Blank
    Agreed.

    I don't know what all the huss is about?

    Indeed there are many factors that need to be taken into account. xJCarr where {JCarr=not funny} is an unvarying constant but only theoretically, for a start in application several Cleeseian variables can have profound effects on xJCarr where {JCarr=not funny}… xJCnf Substitute xJCnf=cosα,α∈[0:;π]x=cosα,α∈[Basil!] Then∣x+1−x2∣=2(2x2−1)∣cosα+sinα∣=2(2cos2α−1)Then∣x+1−x2∣=2(2x2−1)∣cosα+sinα∣=2(2cos2α−1) > (a) Prawn Goebbels ∣N2cos(α−π4)∣=N2cos(2α) α∈[0;π4]∪[3π4;π]∣N2cos(α−4π)∣=N2cos(2α) α∈[0;4π]∪[43π;π] = He’(s) F{rom} b/arc3L0n4

    P, however, is a constant* and the threads without puns are, in fact, anomalous so the correct number for a page without puns NpWP=X, where X is the terminal coefficient sine of Tommy Cooper > [fez]=(0.47). *The Des O’Connor Constant.

    Then stop milking it, it's an udder disgrace.

    Or omelette the side down...

    We need some builders on this case like @Jabba_the_gut and @Andyjr1515.

    It’s a little embarrassing, sure, but it’s a nice area with good schools and very quiet of a night time.
