    On hold pending the usual.

    Steve - Go west to Bath and I played in SkinTrade. Bratpack I know well because Andy Town & I shared a flat together after SkinTrade / Dogsbody ended and we did a band together called The Ex-Boyfriends. I think we played with Endorfiends the night after Diana died in London but I was ill so don't recall it to much. Needless to say I know all those bands you mention and I suspect I know a lot of the same people. Left it all behind a long time ago and the the last 10yrs has been more of an Americana thing for me but I look back fondly. Tim

    Hey Steve - Welcome to Basschat. What was the band you did in the early 90s? I was part of that underground Glam / Sleaze scene too

    Hi Charlie - Welcome to Basschat. I used to play The Barbican Hotel in Lincoln before you were born :blush: I feel old now!

    I use the same gauge and have tried a couple of other brands like Fender which have been fine (to me)

    He might have an original neck plate though

    [quote name='retroman' post='748880' date='Feb 17 2010, 08:13 PM']I normally manage to raise a smile, and a laugh, when I start playing "Fueding Banjo's" as well....Well, a banjo has four strings doesn't it? [/quote] It's called Duelling banjos and those are 5 string banjos which is the standard. You can get 4 and 6 string ones though

    [quote name='silddx' post='748821' date='Feb 17 2010, 07:22 PM']On the other hand, do we know what our singers are singing about?[/quote] I don't think they do half the time!

    I've heard it said (not on these pages) that the sign of a good bassist is only noticing him when he goes wrong. I always get favourable comments in the studio, "Oh I like what you've come up with there". Usually I've been playing it that way for six months

    Looks great & I appreciate the review. Mine is similar but I got mine ordered through my local music store. The bridge on mine is a little cheap and the strings have cut into it badly so I bought a better bridge. Great for the money though

    The pickguard looks great against the 3 colour sunburst. Good choice

    Congrats, it's a great bass. Personally I like the vintage vibe of the original bass. I stuck a Seymour Duncan antiquity pup on mine & changed the scratchplate / added ashtray covers for cosmetic reasons. It's great stock though too

    You'll notice a jump in quality, not unlike the difference between a MIM standard and a MIM Classic. The entry level Squiers are fine but the VM basses are future classics and I don't say that lightly!

    Mum & Dad's records (Dylan / Beatles / Soul / Country) got me into music. The Dogs D'Amour & The Quireboys sparked my interest in [b]me[/b] playing in a band. That was 23yrs ago... These days I play for pleasure. I'm influenced by musicians I play with, by my succesful battle with illness last year and the fact that it's so deeply ingrained in who I am. My goals in life are mainly music related. I strive to record an album this year and play overseas. These are much bigger factors on my playing then a long list of bands I think are cool right now.

    Hi Rich - I assume this is the amp I sold you last year? You forgot to mention the custom cover (unless you are keepin it / lost it?). [quote name='hooky_lowdown' post='747355' date='Feb 16 2010, 03:47 PM']Will no doubt still be for sale at that price.[/quote] I disagree. These were £700 new and a small handful shifted last year online for £250+ (I know because I sold one so I watched EBay and various listings sites prior to making the sale). Rich is a good guy to deal with and assuming he's not trashed it (I didn't get that impression) it's in great nick and sounds awesome. Stuff doesn't seem to be shifting in general from what I can see so I'm sure with a bit of patience it'll sell

    As much as I love Fender they don't do entry level amps that well from what I've tried. Laney are less likely to be a case of paying for the name & are much better than they were in the 80s. My local shop swears by Laney bass amps & I briefly owned a Laney bass combo which was fine. My advice is try both & pick what [b]you[/b] think feels right.

    Thanks guys - reading back my original post I'm not that clear... we're hardly jet setting all over the world & we're still doing UK gigs, albeit with a fair bit of travel sometimes. I was wondering mainly about how convieniant they were for regular use. And Chris_b, I'd expect a backline as a minimum if playing overseas. We played with a Nashville band last week who blew most of their budget shipping a keyboard so I think lesson learnt there!

    Just wondering really. I like the professional look of flightcases and overseas gigs are more likely at the moment then at any other stage of my playing career. From those who actually use them I just wondered what flight cases are actually like. Are they worth the money? Are they ultra heavy? Are they worth it, if like BA / Mr T, you ain't getting on no plane Hannibal?
  24. Cat Burrito
    These guys have advertised on EBay before and I believe they had good feedback

    [quote name='Jigster' post='745442' date='Feb 15 2010, 12:40 AM']just puzzles me that it gets messed with like that - ho hum[/quote] That is the million dollar question & I frequently wonder what people are doing with their instruments
