Well, it's just finished and been re-listed so I guess the answer was no

The only reason it hasn't sold is because "Binkybass" on here hasn't seen it As an aside, do you think it would be any good for metal?

Buy a combo?

Ask if it was any good for metal

Just had a nice little Zoom effects pedal from Gaf. Great to deal with as usual. Efficient, great comms and friendly. Nice guy.

Well the artistes wouldn't be artistes without the genuine fans and wouldn't have any worthwhile future without you so I think I'd choose that route. Actually contact them and the labels and make them aware of what's happening. You never know, a few of them may just care about the genuine people who follow them.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1429344489' post='2750551'] Just seen some Clapton tracks listed, so feeling brave (but will still put the tin hat on and hide) - Layla, esp that Allman drivel at the end, it's just an horrendous racket! Right, I'm off...... [/quote] You're not alone.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1429292416' post='2750186'] Should have gone to spexavers [/quote] Ooops yes you're right. I must have been too focused on his choice of carpet

So what happens if someone does the buy it now deal and he's already got bids on an auction with no reserve listed?

I don't have the ears to be able to tell the difference but maybe that's because I know what tone I like and get it anyway by twiddling knobs.

I'll be gear sharing on Saturday night. However, it's with the same band we always share with and it works both ways whenever we're on the same bill. They're probably the only ones we would share with though as they are all friends. Re the gig. Nightmare scenario as mentioned, everyone sods off after their mates' band / daughter's dance troupe / or in our case last time "La science d'accordéons" has been on. Despite all these negative points though, I would be uncontrollably drawn towards wanting to see the singer song writer who's intending to hold people's interest with his "journey of depression over the years" just so I can wait for a dramatic lull in his repetoire, look around and shout out "Anyone fancy a pint?"

I just remembered how much I hate "I don't like Mondays"

Did Alex " thecheesemaster" James need to be there? Is he skint? Probably not. His bass came over fine sound-wise but the song was a total crap 3 chord bash and multi-millionaire Damon Albran looked like he hadn't washed for a month and couldn't afford a dentist. Now I really do sound like my Dad did.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429048593' post='2747506'] Just hit it with a heavy book and it'll go away. [/quote] What book would be best? A novel or factual?

Make sure you have transport and good gear, preferably reliable. As mentioned, learn all the classic covers if it's covers / pub bands you're going after. Get your name about as previously mentioned and don't give anyone a hard time. Alternatively, offer to pick up the lead singer and the P.A. on the way. That way, you don't even have to be any good

Bat out of hell and that crappy song from about the 90's that keeps repeating "74 - 75"

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1428871737' post='2745591'] That's them. Thanks. Superb from the two or three minutes I heard. I'll definitely look them up. [/quote] Here you are. https://www.facebook.com/PrologMusique My old vocalist in Paris appears to know them.

I think the band you're looking for were Prolog. They were playing at Rue Point du jour (about 37k into the run)

Why not see if you can get one of these. I guess they also make them for the normal Shuttles. [url="https://www.andrewsmusic.net/shoppingcart/products/NEW-GENZ-BENZ-AMP-SADDLE-%252d-FITS-SHUTTLEMAX-6.0,-6.2,-9.0,-9.2,-12.0-%26-12.2.html"]https://www.andrewsm...0-%26-12.2.html[/url]

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1428448404' post='2741464'] Ta for that, Molan. An interesting read, Sir. It rather begs the question of The Perfect Bass - a bass that might perhaps score 10/10 on every scale. A bass so universally [i]perfect[/i] that everyone who played it would love it, irrespective of their technical prowess and chosen genre. What skills might be needed to craft such a bass? How much might it cost? And would they do a £250 Chinese clone, please? [color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote] Surely a bass such as you describe could only be made by the Dark Lord Sauron, in the fires of Mount Doom.

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1428255292' post='2739652'] The BGM review model is the Amboyna Burl Monarch 4 Elite No - I'd never heard of him either. Turns out it's a type of wood.. [/quote] Thanks for the info Drax. Well that's a relief now that I know it's Amboyna burl. For a moment there I thought it wasn't going to be worth the money.

I'm missing something here. The bass mentioned in the OP is listed in the current Fodera 2015 price list as $5050 . Even with import and VAT, where does this £11,000 come from?

All those archeologists that say they're "really excited" about every lump of pottery. I also hate the terms "dissing" and "way to go"

Nothing at all. The setlist is all still going round in my head.
