I fitted some heavy duty castors to an old Laney 4x10, mainly so I could shift it around rehearsal rooms and once you're inside venues. But my mate decided to push it, rather quickly, along an uneven pavement. All I heard was a loud banging and turned around to see the cab sliding along the ground as my mate fell over the 4 castor he'd sheared off the bottom. The base plates are still on the bottom of the cab mind...

Now that is nice!!! I now like 2 Rics. The other is the Shadow.

The Jeff Ament sig sounds interesting!

Other item is a Squier Tele with a Fender Custom Shop decal on the back of the headstock. In "Pale Black" no less! I guess it's ok as he says it's a Squier, so no one can think they're actually buying a real Fender CS.

I use a Lumic TZ-7. It has surprisingly good sound. [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/robonimal"]http://www.youtube.com/user/robonimal[/url] Pretty much all of these were shot with it. (the Pharaoh Overlord video is where I found the limit of the cameras mics. I was about 30" from the bass cabs of a loud PA)

Currently playing - Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii

My band has a song where there's a bass solo, almost by accident. When we wrote the song the guitarist couldn't come up with anything so I would just noodle about to mark out that section of the song. Unfortunately it stuck like that, so now I just improvise something each time.

My bubinga corvette was heavier than the 35" 5 string Ibanez BTB I had. It's a smidge under 12lbs IIRC

I'm pretty sure Billy had one neck tuned EADG and the other BEAD. Hey, it's got free shipping! What more do you guys want?

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1324036090' post='1470003'] OK, so its DHA VT1 in the lead so far (features and price look good) .... any detractors or alternative suggestions? [/quote] I loved the sound of my VT2, but found it to be a tad noisy. So I sold it. Now on the look out for another DI. So far the contenders are a cheap(-ish) and cheerful MXR or the Darkglass.

I recently bought the Vintage Phaser. Amazon were selling it for £16, so I thought it was worth a punt. It was repackaged and ready to be returned within 15 minutes of getting it and I ordered an EHX Nano Small Stone. Never buying Behringer FX again. They're cheap for a very good reason.

I had one. Really liked it, found it comfortable to play. Wasn't any use in the band and sold it.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1323787742' post='1467023'] Better than nothing as far as I'm concerned [/quote] Well it's better than Newport and it's one shop, GM Music, I suppose...

There's Crane's, GM and Gamlins, all more or less on the same street. All pretty much the same. [b]RhysP[/b] describes them accurately...

[quote name='Walker' timestamp='1323516247' post='1464062'] Got one on the way. Good sales job! [/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG63OtsKC7k[/media]

My first bass was a Cardinal Deluxe. At the time I didn't realise it was a shorter scale Discovered that fact after I'd part-ex'd it for an SB Elite and wondered why I got the wrong fret, every so often, for a day or two. But the Cardinal was great to play
