    Motley Crue' s infamous bio The Dirt. But if you want the full story you also need Lude Crued and Rude. Also included The Heroin Diaries. All books posted for £15·99 All books are in good condition, but do not look new. There is no spine creasing on either but The Dirt has a weird graze along the back cover which is difficult to capture in a pic. Will put pics up later.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1418669343' post='2632187'] it's not the best website... but if you can track down Mike Walsh's number he's a pleasure to talk to on the phone. [/quote] And in person. When I lived nearer to the Bass Merchant he was my go-to-guy.

    [quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1418057657' post='2626393'] aaahhh....Eddie Hazel.....he should be ranked with Jimi Hendrix in my book! check this bit of Eddie out... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcwEEu9yF7w"]https://www.youtube....h?v=CcwEEu9yF7w[/url] [/quote] This. Eddie is criminally underrated.

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

    [quote name='PTB' timestamp='1417467537' post='2620722'] For a slightly different flavour, try Hollywood Fats, John Nemeth, Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. [/quote] Blues for El Salvador _ Carlos Santana

    [quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1416172566' post='2607653'] Anything like a Musicman tone maybe? Any chance of a free absolutely no obligation to buy tryout at your place down the road from me? [/quote] Absolutely, you're always welcome for a cuppa and a chat! You can visit the Blitz too.

    [quote name='BassKS' timestamp='1416172416' post='2607648'] What are the pickups? They look like Bart's. [/quote] The covers say Iceni. But that may mean nothing.

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1416148509' post='2607330'] So what is the approximate weight of it now? Cheers [/quote] Haven't a clue. Would guess it compares to a 'normal' P bass.

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

    [quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1409735312' post='2542703'] I had one of those for most of the 90's and it was a great amp. I gigged with it all the time and never had any problems with it. [/quote] cheers. bump

    [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!

    edited to add pics: The history is, this was an original custom Iceni but the bloke who ordered it wanted everything to be as heavy as possible. Go figure. I got Jon Shuker to make a body for it, but later took it back to Mike at Iceni to make another Iceni body for it, to keep it all Iceni [attachment=176384:P9140006.JPG] [attachment=176385:P9140003.JPG] [attachment=176386:P9140004.JPG] [attachment=176387:P9140005.JPG] and a shot of it in action: [attachment=176388:n538336298_1656837_2196866.jpg] now then, the issue. The neck is as solid as rock, but if you look at the folowing pics you may notice the little spots which are apparently where neck bolts were put in too deeply or something. This was done when John made the Shuker body, but was sorted out at the time. And it has been back to Mike who wouldn't let a dodgy bass escape with the Iceni name. So all's pukka but I mention to be totally open. [attachment=176389:P9140002.JPG] [attachment=176390:neck bolts.JPG]

    [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
