I still have a couple of spare tickets for the May 13th gig in Manchester if anyone wants them.

I am ashamed to admit that I actually knew what it was because I am a Bravewood stalker! It looks mighty fine.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1396700549' post='2416551'] Nice cab - and nice Jazz bass too, love the battle-scars. [/quote] Yeah, enough about the cab - let's talk about that Jazz

I re-bought the Uberhorn which I flogged and I started sanding the new body for this yesterday. I have had the body for AGES it is not Mr Shuker's fault that it is not finished. I know that you were all gagging for an update.

I don't doubt the guy has talent in abundance (even though in the early days you'd have said he stole most of his chops from Mick Karn and Percy Jones), Do we not all have to start somewhere? Why not learn from the best? If I was to go under the knife tomorrow I would want a surgeon who had learnt his chops at a top medical school not at the local pub. I just find it a little hard to take on board that NIN now have a guy on board who (as a good friend of mine commented) has whored his way around the music business. It must be truly awful earning a solid wage playing bass all the time. Being constantly asked to join this project or that project, do a bit of traveling and get to challenge yourself musically in innumerable different styles and situations must be a huge drag. Does your friend have a similarly high opinion of Lee Sklar, JMJ, Jaco, Marcus Miller, Nathan East, Bernard Purdie, Steve Gadd, Keith Carlock. Larry Carlton, Steve Lukather, Omar Hakim and all those classical soloists who just seem to wander aimlessly from one orchestra to the next ready to shred that Tchaikovsky concerto?

I like the Innovation braided core ones.

The Night in Tunisia vid is the bomb. It is my favourite you tube moment of all.

Thanks everyone. When I am feeling brave, I will do it.

Ben knows how to build a bass!

I am going basically for 2 x http://www.reidys.com/pr/pa-systems/hk-audio-elements-acoustic-one-stereo-system-11779/?&utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=Feed&utm_campaign=PriceComparison&gclid=CPDFmNSpqL0CFe3ItAodijwALQ but need the install version rather then the stick on a pole version. It is proving tricky to get hold of via my local music shop. He has told me to look further afield.

DIY! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/230936-when-4-becomes-5/

It is not a bass (sorry sorry sorry sorry) but a Fender Modern Player Marauder which I picked up for frankly pennies. I have always wanted a CA red with matching headstock instrument and the time is now. It plays realy nicely so am inclined to hold onto it.

http://www.stewmac.com/tsarchive/ts0151.html It is on the Stewmac site so I presume it is cool. Is that so? I have a candy apple red with matching headstock in my future, but need to prepare it first. TIA

Like, totally lush.

I'm glad that they seemed to work. I am looking forward to actually getting my hands on ours. We are having supply chain problems.
