Not heard anything from Paul so these are still up for grabs. Some proper classics here, great for netbooks and older laptops

I like it and I usually hate mobile sites! The pros definitely outweigh the cons IMO

It certainly is! I bought the Gold edition for 99p a while ago so my original version is up for grabs. Miles better than the recent remake, it's a genuinely creepy game.

Oh I also have the first Alien vs Predator if you want that too. Again runs on anything and is ace.

Yeah they're still available, just pm me your details and I'll get them sent tommorrow. I also have Dungeon Siege if you want, it's all boxed but CD1 is not original (lost ages ago!). Also let me know if you want the They Hunger HL mod and any nocd files (I have all these somewhere). Ta Steve

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1321900663' post='1444260'] Hey, not only did someone bid on the truncated brown bass monstrosity he was selling, but they've posted feedback saying they were satisfied with it! The mind boggles... [/quote] Maybe they left feedback before trying to tune it and play above the 1st fret? The "custom" Aria is relisted at £89. If you had a box of sandpaper, a spare J pickup, a set of tuners and lots of time it might only be £50 overpriced.... Still, there's always the out of date rubbers eh?

I'm really liking the look of this now, certainly individual! Good stuff.

There's this silly-cheap BFM in the FS section: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/159966-fs-bill-fitzmaurice-2x-jack-10-in-single-cabl180/ Don't forget the EAD cabs too.

Well the thrown together Aria has been reduced to the bargain price of £250 and some poor soul has stuck a bid on the red monster!

[quote name='citymariner' timestamp='1321478223' post='1439766'] It's how it is sitting in the mix - other stuff is interfering etc. [/quote] This. I tried loads of overdrives and fuzzes before settling on the ones that sounded right in the band. Because our drummer had a very mid-heavy sounding kit (ie taking up all my space!) certain pedals just didn't cut it at gig volume. Obviously some pedals are more versatile and can be tailored to suit but some have very specific voicings which don't fit every player/band. I bought and sold most of them on here so didn't lose any money when trading them to find out which ones suited me the best, that's an ideal way of doing it. Pedals can be an expensive and addictive hobby! Now I've narrowed my board down to the minimal pedals I need to get the sounds I want at gigs. When you get a keeper you know about it!

I've just replaced this with a new one so I thought I'd see if anyone on here wants it before Freecycle and then the bin. It's an Algarde Power centre which consolidates all your aquarium appliances into one plug with switching options for two of them. There's connections for a heater (with seperate thermostat if required), lights, pump and a spare. The lights and pump have on/off switches. However: - It doesn't come with the mounting bracket. No worries as it still works fine and the base plate can be drilled for mounting. - There's no mains lead, they don't come with one so you'll have to get a cable and plug from somewhere. - One of the on/off switches is sticky and won't stay on without tape. Dunno whether this could be fixed or just glued down if you don't need the switch. - The screws/threads have seen better days (it's over a decade old!) and you may need to bodge to get it screwed down tight. i used slivers of rubber so the screw would grip. It does work fine and is quite an elegant solution to all those untidy cables. I'll do a photocopy of the wiring diagram (I've just bought a new one) and include that too. Ta! Steve

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1321395107' post='1438740'] I thought the Grammas used Neoprene which explains the price? [/quote] It's this stuff: [url="http://www.studiospares.com/sound-insulation/auralex-platfoam/invt/461330/"]http://www.studiospa...am/invt/461330/[/url] Annoyingly it doesn't say how long a strip you get so you may need to buy two or more

Thought some of you might be interested in this, i know their amp covers are popular on here and now would seem a great time to buy one! http://www.amplifiercoversonline.com/zencart/index.php The site still makes your eyes bleed though, makes me want to order a cover to put over my laptop.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1321311889' post='1437808'] depending how you read that they could be used and then put back in the packets and re sealed... [/quote] I did think that but couldn't really find a way to word it without being a little bit sick in my mouth

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1321275846' post='1437149'] Because of the added sustain thats how it was found, it was still ringing out from the last time John went in the loft and caught the A string putting back a box of christmas decorations. [/quote]

I have these going spare as I have acquired duplicates on compilations. Soldier of Fortune is older and will work on pretty much anything (Quake 2 engine), runs fine on netbooks. Unreal Tournament 2004 works on pretty much anything with a video card. There's also Half Life GOTY edition which includes Team Fortress and an add on CD. I can stick the They Hunger zombie total conversion mod on a CD too if you want. Ta Steve

[i]"who claimed he recovered it from the loft of John Entwistle's old home, better know as the Ox. Can't verify that"[/i] Why bloody mention it then? It really gets my goat when a provenance is hinted at with no effort or intention to verify it. As if namedropping a famous deceased player and alluding to a tenuous link between them and the instrument in the listing somehow adds value to it.

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1321213847' post='1436618'] They obviously didnt work, as he had to sell his out of date condoms (obviously too big or just unused..) [/quote] [b][font="Arial"][size="2"]"(please note that these condoms are out of date...please do not be put off as are all perfectly sealed and packaged as new plus i use them).[/size][/font][/b]" What a bizarre thing to list on eBay! Who actually buys out of date johnny bags?

This is still the most baffling: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CUSTOM-BUILT-BASS-GUITAR-L-K-/180754012416?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a15c75900 Ebony neck? B0ll0cks! Notice it says short scale body, yet it's a bog standard Fender copy neck with the headstock butchered. This is explained here: [size=2]"[i]I ALSO NEED TO POINT OUT THAT THE TUNING IS A BIT STRANGE MAYBE YOU CAN SORT IT OUT OR EXTEND THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY SO THE BRIDGE CAN GO FURTHER BACK...ITS ASHAME FOR SUCH A NICE INSTRUMENT TO BE HUNG ON THE WALL...THEN AGAIN WHY NOT...ITS A WORK OF ART...[/i]"[/size]

Your drummer might be a bit tired and isn't whacking his kit so much?

Oh dear.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CUSTOM-BUILT-BASS-GUITAR-PRO-AIRBRUSHED-L-K-/180754643413?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a15d0f9d5 I've mentioned this guy before, he's local to me [shudders] and has a habit of butchering guitars, giving them a half arsed motorcycle gas tank spray job and sticking them up on eBay for many times their value. Here we have what looks like an Aria Pro body with an Aria STB neck on, the P pickup rout filled in and the tuners ground down to a funny (and sharp looking) shape. It now sports a fuzzy amateur paint job which qualifies it to be called a "custom built" instrument with a "pro airbrushed" finish. So that's parts from 2 cheapy basses that have been bolted together and painted in a shed, seems like a bargain for £999.....

I quite like it!

Probably the same as most of the generic Alice, Castle, Johnny Brook, Cheetah etc ones, you can get them for around £4-£5 a set off eBay. I've bought quite a few sets of the Alice and Castle branded ones from a Crack Converters clearout (about £2.50 a set!), getting to the end of them now and not had a single bad one. Take ages to calm down and always sound like cheap strings but they're more than usable once they do, miles too zingy for my liking out of the box though. I've had a set on my Aria for ages and they sound pretty good now, more than enough for an around-the-house bass or a backup.

[quote name='bass_by_name' timestamp='1320885854' post='1432899'] Beware of the Barefaced bubble on here, nobody who has ponied up their hard earned is going to say they are sh*t on a forum that thinks the sun shines out of a Barefaced arse. [/quote] Apart from the people who have, like this guy: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/70650-barefaced-tvintage-review/page__hl__barefaced%20vintage%20review There's also other posts where people who have bought Barefaced haven't found them to their liking. Alex does have a return period so there's no pressure to keep a cab you don't like either. Amazing that after 48 posts you have such a comprehensive understanding of the forum, it must have taken you ages trawling through those old threads from before you joined!
