can't believe I've just seen this thread! I have a Hamer Blitz - Explorer type shape - it's a beast, and IMO cool as the proverbial. Yours is looking sweet, can't wait to see it finished.

come on guys, more pics needed!

has anyone gigged these cabs yet?

[quote name='Musicman69' post='781627' date='Mar 21 2010, 01:17 PM']Yes but with all due respect, people pay in to a gig to hear and see live music.. not tricks or party pieces.[/quote] that's the point though isn't it? [b]there isn't any music happening[/b] - guitarists tuning etc - so it's all about keeping the punters entertained and trying not to lose the momentum.

when I was teaching, I used to encourage and work on little tricks and party pieces, so that during a gig if there was such a gap then step forward the bass player and entertain the crowd for 30 seconds or so. As I was working with rock/metal bassists it worked quite well.

Everyone remember to take lots of pics!

The Hamer, the Rex, and as you have 2 one of the Axe basses please

[quote name='basstard' post='778333' date='Mar 18 2010, 09:55 AM']Just got one. Tracks pretty well - not as good as a Roland GK equiped bass - but fast enough to record or gig with. It's VERY easy to use, doesn't mess up your bass, is smaller than a fag packet and is quite cheap to buy (£70ish). Highly recomended![/quote] Would using it with a wireless add latency?

[quote name='molan' post='774374' date='Mar 14 2010, 03:45 PM']I'll badger my daughter to speak to the head tomorrow - do we prefer a Saturday or a Sunday?[/quote] Sunday, then folk don't have to worry about shooting off to Saturday night gigs?

[quote name='Scoop' post='755960' date='Feb 24 2010, 11:46 AM']and just bloody gorgeous.[/quote] this is true!

I've played different gigs as support to female strippers and male strippers (The Dream Boys). Guess which was more fun? Actually the Dream Boys gig, coz we got free booze and food!

I know the brother of no1 pop star Ellie Goulding, via an internet forum for bass players

are we all signing this one?

I used to have 2 red Kubicki's. When gigging it made sense having the spare bass the same as the one being played. Having said that, one was made by Phil Kubicki and the other was made by the Fender custom shop and had better electronics.

I've mentioned him before, but [b][color="#696969"]Peter King [/color][/b]is criminally lacking in the renown he deserves - and would probably have if he was from the States.

got me some quality time booked in front of i-Player than.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='765944' date='Mar 6 2010, 12:00 PM'][b]Vintage & Rare[/b] A pleasant young lady informs me they don’t stock them, but I should try Macaris. I admire her charms and an old Melody Maker. [color="#FF0000"]We [u]chaff [/u]for a while[/color] and I leave, having been made to feel entirely welcome. Their stock isn’t really high-end. Mostly £1k-3k guitars in reasonable nick, but not much exotica. Nice, workmanlike instruments, shall we say.[/quote] in public

For 2 hours on stage Cetera [b]is [/b]The Demon :ph34r: Sorry I didn't get chance to say hi after, had to run for the Tube. Good to meet up with Thunderbird13 and Mrs Thunderbird13. Quality gig. Comments from my mates included 'Paul Stanley can [i]really [/i]sing like Paul Stanley' & 'your mate is the best in the band' .

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='763151' date='Mar 3 2010, 05:18 PM']I am unsure whether there is any connection between Andysguitarnet and Andy's Guitars, the now-defunct retailer previously occupying premises on Denmark St. The latter has incurred some particularly pungent criticism from several members here, relating to allegedly questionable business practices.[/quote] nothing allegedly about Andrew John Preston and his questionable business practices. I have the court papers from when he stole my Fender Bassman 135 head - sold it and didn't give me the money - but he managed to claim bankruptcy while still keeping hold of his Rolls Royce. (I have the legal papers from this too) IMO he is scum of the most vile order and should be avoided at all costs regardless of where he is know working.[color="#FF0000"] The above is my opinion alone backed up by the legal documents I have which are a matter of public record. I am willing to share these records. Opinion in this post is not necessarily that of Basschat, it's owners or users.[/color]
