Completed a trade with Mick, my Johnson for his Pod studio GX. Smooth, stress free easy transaction. Simply smashing!

If it's no longer good enough for Bob, then it's not good enough for me.

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1415971904' post='2605715'] Phew! First draft of the blog is published, here: [url="http://wp.me/p2ZbyY-oz"]http://wp.me/p2ZbyY-oz[/url] As always, I'm missing some names and possibly some info - post here or PM me if you'd like to see your name or your gear added! I will work on an album of the remaining photos that could not be added to the blog, and add a link in due course. Thank you all [/quote] Awesome a great record of the day. Thanks!

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1414965739' post='2595214'] So, that'll be: Paul on drums, seashell, Paul & seashell and MacDaddy playing bassace's fabulous DB [/quote] yup, and it looks like I [i]almost [/i]knew what I was doing .

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1414879465' post='2594382'] Let us examine the bare bones of Mr Daltrey's contention: * That the world is in a sh*t state * That mainstream popular music at one time raged against global sh*ttiness * That mainstream popular music [i]no longer[/i] rages against global sh*ttiness * An example of a 'popular, not raging against global sh*ttiness' musical ensemble is One Direction All pretty much true facts, them. By contrast the author of the opinion piece re-writes Mr Daltrey's contention, tangentially addressing the entirely unvoiced issue of whether there has been any 'good' music since 1974, instancing as a rebuttal: [i]New Wave, Grunge, Michael Jackson’s entire solo career, Radiohead, Pulp, Bjork, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse, St Vincent, Prince[/i] I imagine that - in seeking inspiration - the op-ed author Ms Lindy West merely turned her head to scan the rows of compilation CD's stacked on her living room shelf before enumerating the quintessential list of 'music for girls of a homely appearance who don't really like music and who frequently spend their evenings sobbing into a Paddington Bear pillowcase'. The acid test is very simple: with whom would one prefer to spend an evening sinking a few beers and talking about music: i) Roger Daltrey - or (ii) Lindy West, op-ed writer for the Guardian? I think the answer is pretty clear. [/quote] Nope, answer iii) Skankdelvar.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1400149237' post='2451157'] [b]Is BassChat's Server in the USA?[/b] I only ask because due to an incredible amount of SPAM from North America I put a block on anything being sent from any USA-based domain in order to deal with it. However... now I'm not getting BassChat email notifications, hence my question. I thank you! [/quote] Ah... I remember when basschat (or Bassworld as it was then) was closed down by the FBI. True story. Lol. The servers were in the States, and naughty people had been using them, so the Feds shut them down.

Although less busy than last year's the day flew by, and I enjoyed it for different reasons. Now I have to try shrink the XL Basschat tee shirt I won in the raffle, to a SO size (short arse).

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1414539881' post='2590576'] I think the 'more on this story' link was pretty much spot on . . . .

Which you didn't

Snark. http://www.snarktuners.com/ I got mine for £9·99 on Amazon.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1414326841' post='2588221'] Does anyone know if drummer Paul is coming Saturday? [/quote] Yup I'm bringing him.

Sold Owen a Shuker body. Simply smashing fellow to deal with.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1413620484' post='2580153'] How come? My Chinese built Coronado is faultless. I think if you understand the location of build and the pricing structure you can find a bass that is a good fit. The beauty with the proliferation of the brand is if you can end up with a good far East bass at a very reasonable price. My Coronado purchase added value to my perception of the brand. I think poor USA builds are far more damaging to the brand. [/quote] A guy with a CNC machine in the States, a guy with a CNC machine in China. If it's the same quality wood, what's the difference?

Ooh eee ooh I look just like Buddy Holly...!
