[quote name='Alien' post='568176' date='Aug 13 2009, 05:09 PM']I would suggest that you make it a hands-on workshop though, otherwise you'll spend all day doing free setups for everyone else. A[/quote] +1 while I would never turn down a decent free set up, I do actually want to be able to do it for myself. I know the basics, but applying the knowledge under the eye of someone who knows what is meant to be happening would be invaluable.

some kind of 'set up' workshop/demo is always useful

[quote name='bassaussie' post='565560' date='Aug 10 2009, 11:42 PM']You've left 3 options - Andys, Musicground or Wunjos. I'll go with Musicground. I couldn't see Andys putting that much effort into an instrument.[/quote] It's not called Andy's anymore. Andrew John Preston went bankrupt owing lots of people money - including me for an amp he sold and never gave me the money for. He managed to keep his vintage Rolls Royce though

[quote name='ped' post='563866' date='Aug 8 2009, 10:59 PM']They have been in contact with us and are keen to improve their standing and reputation with Basschatters. I hope your positive post is a step in the right direction. Has anyone else had a positive experience there? ped[/quote] they didn't fancy posting and trying to re-dress the balance? I'm no expert in retail - no, really I'm not - but I would have thought letting potential (and former disgruntled) customers know things had changed, may be a good idea?

they need longer hair to do all that headbanging

I'm gassing for one of the cheap Dean flying V's. If they get it right a V bass can look awesome, but quite often they look like an afterthought . So with a name like hellsgate, I'm guessing you play in some kind of modern jazz quartet?

disagree with the 'not slow = no feel' thing. Tempo can create it's own feel, Pat Metheny and Al di Meola immediately spring to mind as tasteful players (albeit guitarists) with feel, even during their sizzling lead runs.

[quote name='OldGit' post='561000' date='Aug 5 2009, 11:05 AM']Typical! A great idea spoiled by a lack of attention to detail - a 4 string strat?[/quote] could be some kind of Burns tri sonic thingamajig?

[quote name='jmesa' post='560165' date='Aug 4 2009, 01:31 PM']I saw Chas and Dave at a rave last year. They rocked it! Was hilarious. Great player.[/quote] Saw them at the GBBF a couple of years ago. The acoustics didn't do them any favours (Olympia ) but otherwise it was the perfect event for them to play and I'm sure they look exactly the same as they did in the 80's

[quote name='yourchoiceguitar' post='559280' date='Aug 3 2009, 03:18 PM']Gonna throw this question out! I've been trying to think what musicians in the UK are able to buy from UK based sites and shops etc BUT is there anything out there we can't get in the UK but would like to get if we had the chance?? Anyone got any suggestions?[/quote] the non-export Fender jap stuff.
