Welcome to Basschat edit typo

Hey Bulldog - The Beatles for some reason I can't think beyond that tune.... must be good!

I use Rotosound flats exclusively now

But my local garage does fire wood for £4.99?!

I'm a bit alarmed by your current avatar but welcome to the forum

Welcome to Basschat Tim

I had Sunday lunch with my retired parents today and Dad was telling me about an African School where the kids paid fees. It was 25p a week unless the family couldn't afford it, in which case it was free! A lovely story, I thought. In terms of the free lessons here in the UK, I wonder if there is an alternative for lower income people. I think free lessons would really put a few professional tutors out and I agree with Endorka about people not always valuing things that are not free. It's difficult in this current climate (my wife & I have had one of many belt tightening chats just prior to me coming online). I think you would be better off offering discount lessons or pay for 3 get 4 type deals. Or the alternative is present lessons to a different audience like linking in with the local Youth Offending Teams or Inclusion Units in schools, rather than presenting lessons in the traditional sense. I'm just thinking outloud here and certainly don't present such a suggestion as a finished thought.

Great story. I can think of a couple of Basschatters that would love this thread & are yet to comment

I'm surprised by the general focus on the price. Granted the "Price Match Promise" is a bit silly but my first thoughts are it looks cool as hell. He could charge a third of that, it's still out of my league so I have no thoughts on his pricing

Very nice & no, not at all I do like cream covers on P pups

A thread cropped up last night BUT again it was as long as your initial comment followed by me saying "oh that's cool". I'd love to know more.

It's all down to personal taste. Personally I always favour passive

I can't believe so many people are just focussing in on his hat you've obviously not noticed his cardigan?

Looks cool. Do you know any more about these?

I think it's quite a talent to get a bassline note perfect but I always prefer the creative process of putting my own stamp / twist on something.

I don't object to it. Wouldn't buy it mind

Welcome to the forum [quote name='Lozz196' post='1080726' date='Jan 7 2011, 07:44 AM']a great place to buy that cab I might add, the for sale section always has good gear at great prices.[/quote] 100% agree

I too stumbled across his site the other week. He doesn't get mentioned here and must be one of thousands of forgotten heroes.

I find my MG ZS takes it perfectly if I drop down the back seats and have the headstock slightly over my handbrake. I have also got it in my wife's VW Fox with the passenger seat reclined back fully coming in from the boot. It's just a case of being persistant and looking at a problem logically. Bizarrely my singers old upright bassist used to go around London on the tube with his on the shoulder straps which is impressive to say the least!

I gigged my Jazz for the first time in 10yrs last night and I used my hercules folding stand. No problems, I just offset the body slightly to the right and it stood (or is it sat?) on the stand quite comfortably before and after the show. Mine is the small folding one that doesn't support the neck in any way.

First gig of the year for me & a gig of firsts. First gig on a Jazz bass in a decade! My first gig with the Orange Terror rig, it sounded good. Oh & I got recognised yet again for a guest slot playing mandolin with my old band a year ago. Result!

I do like that redwood finish

I've dealt with Watford Valves a couple of times & they are bang on the money

I think I'm the only bassist I know who didn't like the HWY1's but they did have a better choice of colours too
