[quote name='tauzero' post='135640' date='Feb 7 2008, 12:13 PM']I bet it cost you more than that, but top marks for trying.[/quote] that has to go in the Famous Quotes thread

[quote name='markytbass' post='135235' date='Feb 6 2008, 06:44 PM']Mr Russ If you do go ahead with the BEAD idea, Rotosound do a Swing bass 66 extra heavy (65-80-105-130). You can get these fron Stringbusters for £16. I don't know if you like Roto's or not but I think it saves buying a 5 string set paying more and only using 4 of them.[/quote] ooh! thanks for that!

I did it with my passive Sub. Had to widen the nut for the B, and adjust the set up, but no problems worked fine.

[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.

i stand corrected then

i meant to watch it, but forgot. Hopefully it'll be repeated - BBC4 do a lot of that.

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='125663' date='Jan 22 2008, 07:17 PM'] I've got a gig in Lewisham. Could maybe turn up for the morning session will have to check the itinary.[/quote] ok, can probably make it but will have to leave about 2ish Ped, it could be just you and me at 10!

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.

[quote name='bassboy115' post='125629' date='Jan 22 2008, 06:32 PM']ive got a gig in brum on the 30th so im not sure if i can get there!! [/quote] I've got a gig in Lewisham. Could maybe turn up for the morning session will have to check the itinary.

posing? me? Surely not

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.
