[quote name='HarryPotter' post='103697' date='Dec 13 2007, 07:53 AM']And remember: [b]If it looks too good to be true then it probably is.[/b][/quote] On Ebay maybe, but there have been some stunning deals on here!

[quote name='hairyhatman' post='131060' date='Jan 31 2008, 12:40 AM']What really p***es me off is when the Guitarist tells you to 'lock in with the kick' .... but then they can't explain what that means.[/quote] there's your problem - listening to guitarists! -
at a pub in Hertforshire, I took a dodgy pint of real ale back to the bar, and sitting at the end was Craig Charles. Nice bloke. He walked past me on a train a few years later. In Disneyworld in 1989 I was on a walkway, and saw Fred Coury (drummer in Cinderella) walk past. In Brighton a few years ago, I met a bloke who claimed to be a promoter, and that he was the person who first brought The Hives to England. His opinion of my (then) band was 'well it's harmless'

[quote name='ped' post='130650' date='Jan 30 2008, 01:38 PM']Probably not worth taking too many large bass rigs as the room is not really very good acoustically and we better not make TOO much noise. I took my Mesa 400+/1516BE rig once and it was far too big/loud. Always a good idea to bring a small pocket headphone amplifier which your ears are accustomed to so you can try out some basses.[/quote] the Dalek was just too big

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='130317' date='Jan 29 2008, 10:08 PM']Cheers Mert! That 59' P is amazing by the way... A bass is going to be there that's older than me - fantastic [/quote]

I was in the Virgin Mega store in Leeds back in the 80's, when Wayne Hussey was walking around with a camera crew. Now I'm a short-arse, but he's even smaller! Earlier in the 80's I met Little & Large at the end of one of the piers in Blackpool. I met Charlie Harper at the 1st Pistols reunion gig, then bumped into him again after a Subs gig in Oslo. He always seems to have a 16 year old punk girlfriend. I said hello to Gaby Roslin after after a theatre show in London - she said hello back! - she was simply stunning.

the one thing we all agree on seems to be the lack of bottom end? [quote name='crez5150' post='126846' date='Jan 24 2008, 12:46 PM']Ooooo any pics of the shuker?[/quote] it's in progress, there's a thread in the build section

I'm having a Shuker custom made, and one of the influences is the King bass. So It's 32" with a bend well and LED's. I've played them at the Bashes, and find the body a bit uncomfortable, and IMO they don't look good played low in a rock style - but I am aware that's not what they are about. Like the necks though.

YAY! Bass Bash as the [i]set-up masterclass [/i]was so popular last time, would anyone be up for doing one again? I'd find it useful to be setting up my own following the instructions as it happens.

I just fancy a change, as I'm using my Carvin 5er as a main bass now, so for trade only here's my black passive Music Man Sub. It's been gigged and was restrung BEAD, but now I've put it back to EADG. A couple of minor dinks, purely cosmetic, and the one on the headstock is from having to restring in a cramped area (another has since joined this for the same reason). Controls are volume, tone, half the H to the full H. Comes with the original plate. Most basses of roughly equal value considered. I'm in the Chilterns (which is a posh way of trying to avoid saying Luton). cheers
