  1. The bashes can be as frequent as you like if people are willing to turn up.
  2. Unfortunately to post on here you can't just tell people to contact you via eBay - it goers against he spirit of the forum.

    Opeth

    On the contrary ! Opeth's death metal/blues rock dynamics are what I love about them, moving to older mellotron prog style isn't a positive move for me. I don't think they have the same edge they did a few years ago, but - they're a prog band and by that definition don't stay the same. Their highlights for me will always be Damnation/Deliverance, I never get bored of hearing those albums. I saw them in 2002 (free ticket) and they were awesome.
  4. The London Bass Guitar Show was the highlight for me eventwise, really enjoyed catching up with some old friends and spending the whole day absorbed in bass, seeing Mark King was great (although I'm not a fan) and randomly chatting to TM Stevens was very cool. Not been in any bands just had a couple of practises/auditions for deps and bands that never happened, no hard feelings. Gearwise I spent a whole 6 hours at Bass Direct in June deciding what to do with my Overwater Progress ! It went byebye in place of the G&L L2000 and 'Tanglewater' Contemporary J. They're still here ! Decided to skip BassDay due to what I consider a backwards move in the venue and capacity and increased ticket costs.
  5. From the body shape I think this is a Q6 Pro rather than a Legend, I got mine new in 2005 and they had just been discontinued .
  6. [quote name='poptart' timestamp='1320409309' post='1426429'] That was a great bass - even I am thinking of getting a Dingwall ;-) [/quote] Are you kidding ? You have about 20 !
  7. I am glad the lefties are identifying themselves. It will make rounding up much easier...
  8. Yeah, I check the 2nd hand section every couple of days to see if I can guess the price in advance (work gets boring OK !) - always some tasty stuff on there.
  9. Having earplugs and taking regular breaks (outside or in the canteen) made it much more bearable I think. I just feel sorry for the people who have to stay all day near the Rotosound stand .
  10. I played a few when I was there and they were very good. When I was there I had the option of a G&L L2000 Tribute AND an Overwater Contemporary J5 (Tanglewood) or a Dingwall Combustion. I decided to go for the 2 as I thought i'd be far more satisfied with 2 vastly different midrange instruments than one expensive - so far this has been the case ! Also read a lot of comments that the Combustions are good value but it's definitely worth the extra pennies to get an ABZ instead. And, in the time it's taken to type this up - Dingwall GAS has indeed been 'reignited' (see what I did there, eh ?! )
  11. Anyone who goes there not expecting this is very naive . That Dingwall looks awesome in that colour, I like it.
  12. The only thing I bought was a cheap 12 month subscription to BGM. Buying a bass there would be silly (unless you're really certain or it's a special deal) - you can't hear it properly !
  13. I'm intending to go - had fun last year (earplugs are a must !).
  14. Try completely rolling off the treble control (treble switch can stay on) - I find this seems to shift the mids (almost like a parametric EQ) making them much more apparent, especially using the neck pickup.
  15. Wowee ! A black Precision copy with a maple board ! That's sure original. What about it is different to the standard one they knock out apart from the fingerboard material ? [b]Vintage®Tony Butler V4Series[/b] Body: Eastern Poplar Neck: One-Piece Maple – Bolt On Fingerboard: Maple Scale: 34"/864mm Frets: 20 Neck Inlays: Black Dot Tuners: Wilkinson® WJBL200 Bridge: Wilkinson® WBBCCR Pickups: Wilkinson® WPB Hardware: Chrome Controls: 1 x Volume/ 1 x Tone [b]Vintage®V4Series[/b] Body: Eastern Poplar Neck: Hard Maple – Bolt On Fingerboard: Rosewood Scale: 34"/864mm Frets: 20 Neck Inlays: Pearloid Dot Tuners: Wilkinson® WJBL200 Bridge: Adjustable Pickups: Wilkinson® PB x 1 (M) WPB Hardware: Chrome Controls: 1 x Volume/ 1 x Tone Ah I see, nothing for an extra £50
  16. I went to the first Bass Day at the Life Cafe and found it more of a gig than anything else. I suppose with London Bass Guitar Show on the map too now then it's not a problem to diversify and be more of a bass specific gig than a 'show'.
  17. RRP was £550, I got mine new in 2003 for £415 from GAK .
  18. [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1319635583' post='1416688'] Don't know if anyone else has highlighted this but, if I try to send a PM on my iPad, the message box pops up but is cut off on the top left hand side ... so you cannot click in it or type in it [/quote] iPad support due in recently released patch - should be installed in the near future.
  19. Looks like i've scored a major owngoal ! I can't make it - am away with the wife for the weekend, I even knew about it before suggesting the 27th but didn't think about it as it was so far ahead ! Sunday the 3rd Dec anyone ?!
  20. I can only assume the mobile browser installed on your phone doesn't support the standards used on this website. Are you able to install a different browser on the phone ?
