T-Bay

Just after experiences/ recommendations for an octave pedal. I like the sound of both of these from internet searches but would like real life experiences from people ideally and open to any other suggestions as well.

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1494012989' post='3292659'] I've seen a Shergold with crackling like that. I still can't help thinking it's has some sort of refinish over it though. [/quote] To stop the lacquer lifting perhaps?

I have nothing close to enough experience to offer any opinion on its provenance but personally I think it's a bit of a looker. I agree that it looks like cracking in the lacquer and I think you would struggle to achieve that if you tried.

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1493982586' post='3292338'] There used to be a local adult education centre near me that ran a course called "anyone can sing". I nearly went along just to prove them wrong. As a convert to bass from 6 string I did offer the option of me playing guit. [/quote] I have never sung, have never had any interest in doing so beyond a few tunes in the car so don't care what I sound like. For a recent gig we went down to a three piece after the rhythm guitarist injured himself so I ended up doing BV and just about carried it off (luckily it was mostly punk numbers). I am lucky to have access to a mate who is a music teacher and has taught singing in the past and claims to be able to get anyone to at least a passable standard. I had my first session yesterday and will continue for the foreseeable future. I will see if you are right, or if he is within a few weeks I think!

Very nice indeed.

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1493583127' post='3289275'] He can't anyway. Civil dispute [/quote] He can claim you stole it, it may be a civil matter but it would still see you in a court of law if it went wrong. To avoid repeating the excellent post above, it's suffice to say that the rules are very clear in law and unfortunately do require more than a simple 'I assume it's mine now mate' in an email to make you sure of avoiding comeback.

I am in Tamworth and reasonably handy across a range of skills but never done fretwork. I have a wide array of tools and kit to problem solve if needed as well.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1493832373' post='3291128'] I think I'll email them asking for a quote for P bass copy 😀 [/quote] Please post the response if you do :-)

I know you need to sell yourself but the level of self congratulation is appalling. Even if it were true it still reads as vomit inducingly self congratulatory to a level that I have rarely had the misfortune to come across before. Take your money elsewhere.

I like the idea but doubt the fearsome lady who runs the group would agree.

Sadly I am out :-( Dad's taxi services taking priority on a Brownie day out. Will make the next one with any luck.

Bananarama reforming has reminded how truly appalling they were the first time around.

Fire would have been a better way though.

Perhaps it was to hide damage?

Could be good for slide guitar too.

The perloid blue looks very nice, can I ask where you got it from?

I guess he had nothing else to work with so thought diesel do for now.

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1493650790' post='3289702'] Yes - maybe sales tanked, so they canned the idea. [/quote] Oil bet it was a slippery character who greased his way in and took them.

The Bubinga one is a thing of beauty. Guessing they will not be cheap by any stretch though. Edit: from 2000 dollars, about 3-4000 dollars specced up, still nice though

All sold out so someone must like them, or no one liked them so they gave up.

Always worth putting a cheeky bid in as long as you can leave it on the book and don't have to pay for a catalogue but as said above the chances of it being successful are pretty small.

There is 2x10 going as well.

I would send him a message to say you will keep it free of charge for 28 days and allow any reasonable collection arrangement he makes and state that if not collected within the 28days it will be disposed of. That way he can't claim you have stolen it or any rubbish like that.

I got some slow blow fuses from Marlins as I was desperate and they were more expensive than eBay but not by that much, £3 for 5 I think.
