[quote name='gingerfish' post='332208' date='Nov 19 2008, 12:26 PM']I've got it ordered it should come tomorrow, so I'm not too worried now. Kept looking at the listing and thinking, that ust bethe rock bass... the SN one the thing that set me off though. Any way, shall post some pics when she arrives. Not in classes tomorrow till late so the neighbours will be getting an ear full. [b]If anyone is interested in the streamer and hasn't figured it out yet its on [url="http://www.reverb-store.co.uk/"]Reverb music[/url]. [/b] Ciao[/quote] I can assure that's gone... twice! (1 LH 1 RH)

[quote name='StevieC' post='332222' date='Nov 19 2008, 12:42 PM']I'll bring the lot as listed below. I'm looking forward to trying out some of that great gear and having a good natter. [b]How far's the chippy[/b]? Steve[/quote] 200m... but your not stinking up my room with fish n chips!

[quote name='JPJ' post='331846' date='Nov 18 2008, 09:38 PM']If there is any interest I can bring along some of; [u]Amps / Cabs[/u] SWR750X head Goliath III 4x10 x2 Son of Bertha 1x15 Schroeder 21012 minus working horn I guess the SoB is a must eh WoT? [u]Basses[/u] Overwater J Series 5 String Fender DLX Jazz V (modified with J-Retro) Self-build precision 5 hamm mutant thing Perhaps the President of the Peoples Democratic Republic of Blyth could make an executive decision out of that lot [/quote] Bring the fecking lot, we'll let the Southern Jessies feel the bass when we link 'EVERYBODY'S' rig together! Actually on second thoughts we have a suspended ceiling and I'm not sure we've been cleared for asbestos so just bring a bit.

Streamer Stage I & II Thunderfunk Aggie DB1x12 (x2) It might be interesting if I bring my Line 6 Variaxe bass, compare it to the real thing if there are a variety of basses. <edit> I might bring the Bolin along for an airing... did I say not too many basses?

I'll PM folks the address, post code and my mobile number. It'd be good to have an idea of basses/amps/cabs that will be there, if anyone fancies just turning up gearless and just having a bit of craic that's fine. No need to bring loads of basses but it'd be nice to have a bit of variety.

[quote name='bassoctopus' post='331749' date='Nov 18 2008, 07:57 PM']In my experience of organising forum stuff, it's easier just to give people a time, you'll never please everyone![/quote] Executive decision taken! My school; 27-11-08, 6.30 onwards (finished by 9.00).

By my reckoning we have; Big Al Stevie C Bass Oct JPJ WoT JD1 Me Is that about the size of it? If so then even at £18 it's less than £2.50 each or the school for free with a slightly longer carry! If you're feeling clever Neil you can stick a poll at the top (inc whether a 6-8 or 8-10 slot is best) of the thread then people don't feel pressured by a public vote. Ideally I'd like to let Mark at MBB know tomorrow so that we can secure a time slot.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='331644' date='Nov 18 2008, 05:46 PM']Reet Unfortunately, the Community Centre is booked next Thursday. It's a shame 'cos it's only 20 quid, witch a great load-in and a room big enough to let the notes bloom a bit! So.. unless we want to change the date, it looks like MBB! Over to you, Mr. Hunt...[/quote] We have option 2 or 3 then! Option 2 - My school which is free (cost wise) and available from 6.30 till 9.00 but is a bit of a carry in (WoT has been before so can flesh out the carry in and room acoustics in comparison to Opt 3 where he has rehearsed before). Option 3 - MBB which is a bit more expensive than I thought (£18 for 2 hours) and can be had from 6.00 - 8.00 OR 8.00 - 10.00 (as of tonight still available for either time) and is an easier carry in. I'm absolutely fine with either, what do folks reckon?

[quote name='stu_g' post='331622' date='Nov 18 2008, 05:19 PM']i saw that on ebay and thought the same thing it looks awful it mustve had something done to it to be like that[/quote] The guy is adamant that I'm/we're imagining it... it's absolutely standard, no damage/respray!

That is a cracking price and one which won't last long when others find it! [size=1](BTW I know where it is )[/size]

[quote name='noelk27' post='331118' date='Nov 17 2008, 10:45 PM']My guitarist owns a Strat in a similar finish. The Strat, of course, has an awful white pickguard and lace sensors. And over 40 photos! Were eBay having an "all the photos you can post for free" day?[/quote] Aren't the photos in the body of the listing (as opposed to separate) and as such a bit naughty as it circumvents part of their fee process?

Saying that I'd rather have too many than not enough.

[quote name='Beedster' post='330994' date='Nov 17 2008, 08:23 PM'][b]Surprised you need to ask[/b] Looks like sh*t and the seller is one of those 'make it seem like a real bargain whilst not providing answers to the important questions' types. Worth £150 max if you're prepared to take the risk and get the work done Chris[/quote] It obviously looks like the kind of bodge filler job I'd have done on my Mk I Escort when 'a were lad' but I couldn't believe that the seller thought it looked "standard"! I needed affirmation that I wasn't cracking up Hardly surprising that the seller is listing the questions that he feels add some weight to his listing... oddly enough he hasn't posted mine.

OK the bass has been modded with an extra pup and an active circuit but I couldn't help noticing that the finish looks... sh*t! Now it could be my eyes thinking that the bass looks like it's been bodged with fibreglass so I emailed the seller asking if there had been any kind of damage, repair or refinishing of the bass; "not to the best of my knowledge it is as far as i am aware as standard". It doesn't look much better from the front. The bottom of the bass looks decidedly matt and quite frankly fecked. What do you think?

[quote name='ped' post='330886' date='Nov 17 2008, 06:38 PM']A NEBB sounds great - too far for me to go but I hope you all have a cool TYNE! Eh? EH? No? ped[/quote] Noooooooooo! Please no Tyne or Geordie jokes... oh well maybe one or two.

[quote name='BigAlonBass' post='330839' date='Nov 17 2008, 05:35 PM']Hmmm. So they WERE right about you? [/quote] The barstewards... how dare they! [quote name='bassoctopus' post='330849' date='Nov 17 2008, 05:48 PM']Do you want me to change the thread title to NEBB (please being an Eden along) [/quote] Good idea, it might get a bit more attention from the local lads but change the word 'being' for 'bring'.

Community Centre is fine with me. I wouldn't see anyone carry their gear in by themselves... I'd go and hide in the toilet till they were loaded in.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='330617' date='Nov 17 2008, 01:04 PM']How'd it go?[/quote] It was a good-un, thanks for asking. We got 3 gigs off the back of it (The Tavern, VIP Lounge and back at The Horse), so we couldn't have been that bad. A few fluffed looper changes and some of the BV/harmonies were a 'bit' off but no worse than bands that I've gigged with for years! All in all, a great laugh and that's what it's all about.

[quote name='BigAlonBass' post='330046' date='Nov 16 2008, 12:01 PM']O.K. I'm in. I'll bring a (very battered) Trace Rig, if anybody wants to try the old, second hand route to getting 'on the road.' [/quote] [quote name='bassoctopus' post='330047' date='Nov 16 2008, 12:14 PM']I'm in!!! Don't know if I can be bothered to bring my rig. Might bring my head - 1989 Trace Elliot AH300. Looking forward to comparing it to the Thunderfunk.[/quote] [quote name='JPJ' post='330626' date='Nov 17 2008, 01:18 PM']Looks like I'll be around on the 27th so count me in. I could bring my SWR rig as long as there is some big strong boys there to help me lug it in and out. I'll bring the Overwater along as well if anyones interested?[/quote] Nice one guys. I'm wondering if it might be worth hiring MyBigBedroom for 2 hours as it's a lot less of a carry in than it is into/through my workplace! £10-£12 to hire the rehearsal space between 4-6 of us isn't going to break the piggy bank. Let's know what you think; my work is a good couple 100m carry in, through multiple doors whereas MBB is 25m... no sweat (or maybe it will be ) if people want to do the freebie, I'm just thinking of some of the rigs that you boys have.

Top fella. Bought a set of DR Sunbeams and they were delivered nice and promptly, cheers!

A new venture for me tonight, kicking off at The Flying Horse in Blyth. A 3 piece acoustic rock thang with my drumming buddy Dave who has been in bands with me for the last 16 years and a great guitarist/singer Bernie who I grew up with as a nipper. A wide spread of covers from the likes of Aerosmith, The Killers, Foo Fighters, Reef, Green Day, The Zutons and less 'rocky' stuff by Brandi Carlisle, Joe Jackson, Amy MacDonald, Crowded House etc. Huge potential for hilarious f*ck-ups as we're trying to do stuff with a different feel whilst incorporating guitar loopers and Dave is tw*tting about with his drum sampler! Pop along, neck some ale and have a laugh with us... nothing too serious, after all it's only Rock and Roll.
