  1. As ever Skank, the true voice of reason. I wonder who would have missed you most, The Diplomatic Corps or the stand up circuit I'm off to look at gear porn. There are two people on this site whose self opinionated, condescending, "I'm right, if you disagree you must bow to my superior intellect" diatribes are getting right on my tits and have been for a few weeks. Meanwhile, [size=5]Welcome Guy, it's a privelege to have you here and joining in.[/size] Karl.
  2. [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1368449898' post='2077150'] Only if you are given a platform to express yourself on. [/quote] So if the BNP (other political parties are available, thankfully) get a platform in a public place they can say whatever they want(Sorry icastle, not aimed at you). For crying out loud. Milty is it just you always want the last word? Meanwhile, [size=5]WELCOME GUY, brilliant to have you on Basschat. [/size]
  3. [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368446546' post='2077085'] Of course it does, and I have said that, but we still have the right to say whatever we want. The consequences of that are another matter. [/quote] We don't
  4. Not surprised it's "cheap". Been up a few times as well.
  5. [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368443801' post='2077026'] We all have the right to freedom of speech, do we not? Nothing can take that away from us. But, that doesn't mean you should always exercise that right to it's fullest extent, and why we need to self-edit to keep things moving along in a friendly way. [/quote] I saw some of the absolutely hateful results of freedom of speech with some extreme racist/ religious vitriol on Faecesbook in the aftermath of the Boston bombings (both "sides"). With freedom of speech comes responsibility and hopefully a little humility and sensitivity.
  6. [quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1368438248' post='2076941'] Well my pedal settings on my Boss GT10b for Sorrow went down a storm at rehearsal last night!! Haven't listened to the rehearsal recording yet, but can't wait. So all I can say is thanks Guy!! All down to you, you top man. So please don't leave... I may need more help as we increase our setlist from the Floyd back catalogue [/quote] +1 Bugger, I didn't kill a thread, I'm slipping
  7. I took great exception to something Kiwi said a couple of weeks back regarding Margaret Thatcher. His opinion came over as fact and it was extremely biased. In my eyes some of his comment was very offensive. I was even more annoyed because of his position. Moved on, didn't comment simply because I would have lost the plot with the way he put himself over in the thread. Like many others I missed the original controversy regarding him and Guy(and have spent hours looking for it! lol) Guy is an inspiration to a huge amount of us and frankly for those of us who are admirers, our own bed has been sh*t in. Really, personal attacks at any level are pretty pathetic, but we have to accept with so many people here, some are going to hide behind a wall and throw bangers over it. Sad. I hope Guy comes back and can contribute whatever time he can spare. I know I would not be alone in being grateful for that. Threadkiller Karl.
  8. Not for me, completely spent out, BUT, perhaps you may consider part trade and cash, with a trade bass that may move on quickly? That may appeal to some members? Bump.
  9. Hell, can I use more than one finger
  10. Your point? Bullet are top class leads, based on the 70's curly lead. If you stand next to your amp, they just hang down from bass and go up to amp. You move 30 feet from your amp and they uncurl. To be honest. with 500/600 watts of decent amp, EQ and cab I think you can adjust to compensate for any perceived signal weakening. Personally I got pissed off with tripping over another 20 feet of cable lying on the stage and reverted to the style of lead I used in my youth.
  11. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1368127386' post='2073643'] Yeah, it's great, isn't it? [/quote] Yup, and you are responsible Master
  12. Bullet curly lead from bass to amp then it doesn't matter what size the stage is, it's covered. OBBM for EVERYTHING else.
  13. For no other reason that I have finally learned how to do this sort of thing [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/yellow_card_referee_dies_zps15d2593e.jpg.html"][/url]
  14. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1368042099' post='2072525'] Clarky, it's superb mate! I really the song, the vocals are really well recorded, great mix and recording in general, I love the trippy surf reverb. The snare work is f***ing crisp! And yer man makes my guitar sound wicked Bass is excellent in the way that I hardly noticed it was there, it makes the song sound better without being obtrusive and part of that is in the perfect timing, but when I hear it I really like it, it's a rich, warm texture. I like the spaghetti western kinda vibe too. It's really lovely mate, you should be well proud of this. [/quote] What e said, e's elequent, I ain't!
  15. A USA Precision for £600, about the same price as many second hand Japanese Precisions/Jazzes (MOST of which have poorer p'ups, imo). As most of us know most of these fellas only get better with age. For goodness sake somebody treat themselves to a possible lifelong workhorse and friend. Karl.
  16. Nice one, well done. Keep listening, keep practising, keep bricking it and you will have a greay gig. Enjoy. Karl.
  17. Yup, it's a crying shame they became as rare as rocking horse over here about 3 years ago. About the time they lost/reduced endorsees. I've never used a bad one, but they would certainly sell more if people could get their hands on one in a shop.
  18. These basses have a much shallower neck profile than Fenders with similar nut widths, so are a lot easier to play. I can't play a Fender P with a 1.75 inch nut width, but my Glaub, with the same nut width is very easy to play. Cracking basses. GLWTS Karl.
  19. Click on the users name, eg greenman555 (Marc). This will open up his profile, You will see three little blocks near the top of that page, the middle one says send message. Click on that to open it. Type in the subject box, then type in your message, then press submit in the box near the bottom. As I said, I will know about the amp later today, Unlike FEEBay, there are a lot more gentlemans agreements on here and sometimes (rarely) a sale does not go through. It is VERY rare for something to be basically sold in the first couple of hours. Welcome to Basschat Dave
  20. Hiya davedabass. PM'd means somebody has sent a private message. Pretty much sure it is gone, will know tomorrow afternoon but regretfully even if number one buyer doesn't go ahead, there are two others in the queue before yourself. I will keep people in touch with progress, cheers, Karl.
  21. Any better photos, can't see what sort of cosmetic condition it's in, Is there a gig bag of any kind with it? Bump. Cheers, Karl.
