  1. I also wanna be there when tBBC asks the question!! :-D, am only just outside london with constant jaunts in. Maybe we should mount an 'intervention', all of us just turn up....."you know how you're perceived??" haha Si
  2. A tiny bit like you? About 5'10", shaved head, balding, short beard, scottish! Si
  3. +1 for Brian at Wunjo, top guy!! My friend bought a 1965 Gibson acoustic from him, nothing at all was to much hassle! Si
  4. Yeah, I had noticed these in my subscription copy, but forgot to post about it! And yeah, Hi Ed, nice to have someone on the board doing well! Si
  5. I did mate, but they seem to rate 'output' in different ways, DiMarzio with a number, SD with a little symbol. The DiMarzios have lower resistance though, suggesting that their output might be higher? God i'm such an electronics noob haha Si
  6. I don't suppose anyone knows how these compare to DiMarzio Ultrajazz pickups, mostly in terms of output! Cheers Si
  7. I'll have the strap buttons and corresponding screws off the butchered 6'er if you're getting rid of them! Looking forward to seeing more of this boyo!! Si
  8. Cheers mate! (do you think they've noticed that me saying "thanks" bumps it again....ssssshhhh) Si
  9. I think with Custom Shop stuff, you can have what you want, I've seen CS 70's basses. Like you said, you're not sure if its a Time Machine series or not so might just be a straight CS 'reissue'. I've seen second hand relics/CC's/NOS go for around £1,200! Not sure how 'standard' CS's match up against the Time Machine range price wise! I'd be semi-interested, but my Upright is still sitting here lol Si
  10. [quote name='Beedster' post='184938' date='Apr 24 2008, 11:20 PM']This bass has had more owners in a month than I've had new Precisions in the same period [/quote] You've had a period? Si
  11. [quote name='Mr Fudge' post='183243' date='Apr 22 2008, 10:03 PM']I joined my first band with a gig in two months. I went out the following Saturday and bought my first guitar. You can play along to cd's until your knob falls off. You only ever learn how to play music by busking/jamming with other people.[/quote] +1 Although its an old thread, another tip i'd throw into the hat is: Learn the parts of the songs so you know them like the back of your hand, don't worry to much about arrangements, unless a band has said that they do everything exactly like on the CD, most bands play about with arrangements so you should have an open mind and be listening out for the changes. Glad the gig went well! Si
  12. Sounds good to me!! Programmed drums? The vocals get a tiny bit lost in the mix for me, could be just my speakers though. But yeah, great song! Si
  13. By the look of the bridge it's headed!? Si
  14. I got my (mint at the time) 2004 USA S1 Jazz (sunburst) for £275! But that was a silly good deal based on connections Sooo..... ...I reckon between £450 and £500 Si
  15. Where they had the Bass Bash couple of years ago? Life Cafe is it? Si
  16. Ooook you lucky lucky buggers! July through to December covers dates are up as well now! Also a couple of extra FSOF shows, the posters for these will follow at some point soon. Cheers Si
  17. The Bart MM's are really nice, I have one in my 'Thingray', and I had two in my Corvette $$, But they really do benefit from a preamp, Barts are really quiet passive! They come alive with a decent preamp! I'm using a 2 band East preamp in my Thingray Si
  18. Oooooo, stack knob control plate?? :-D If u part out, i got shotgun! The pots aren't for me though as I'm after 500k and i assume the Bravewood stuff is all 250k Si
  19. Man I'd love one of those '83 Squiers!! The Olympic White one is sex! My year of birth dontcha know Si
  20. Hey What kind of size neck is the Nut for? Width wise, P-Bass? J-Bass? Cheers Si
  21. [quote]I doubt the average Slipknot fan has £1k to spend on a bass.[/quote] Isn't Paul Grey's endorsement and signature model with Ibanez? (yes i know he played thumbs) Mike, is that streamer you sold one that you got from Mike Walsh at The Bass Merchant? If so, that's a beautiful bass, played it while i was there about a year ago. Warwickhunt, yeah good luck with shifting yours to, maybe you and my friend should hook up with putting them in the gallery, they can advertise them as a matched pair haha! Cheers Si
  22. I think what my friend is hoping is that the birdseye body pushes the price up. He has gotten advice on the price, i believe from the gallery and a friend in denmark street.....although that could explain the high price It is a lovely bass though Si
