BassBunny

I'll excuse the grammar if they are any good. Spoke to them on Friday and am hoping to pop over to Liverpool and have a look at them next week. If they are any good, it will be the perfect basis for a modded Bass that I can take to some of the seedier venues we play. Last friday I spent most of the second set with one eye on a convenient chair leg in case it kicked off. Having a Bass with some value is a bit risky in certain places, this could fit the bill. Will report back on my findings and Pete, if I do get one I will take it up to Lytham and you can have a butchers.

At least i know the maker now. Hope to see you at Lytham in a couple of weeks. Thanks both for confirming.

I am trying to identify the strings on a recent purchase. 5 String set and the Ball Ends, (ooooh errr misses), are different colours. Purple on the B string, Gold on the E String, Red on A String etc. any ideas????

And Ped may be able to get re-acquainted with "Marvin".

Anyone with a large van going from manchester as I can bring a lot of gear [/quote] Not a large Van, but I am hoping to go and can give you a lift assuming something doesn't come out of left field and cock my plans up, again...........

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='140620' date='Feb 14 2008, 08:31 PM']Yes I tried that already but no joy.[/quote] ME too. I have a spare 4 string set and am looking for a single B string.

[quote name='bigd1' post='134718' date='Feb 5 2008, 11:17 PM']Why do you need a back up ?? I've never in 30yrs of being a musician, found any need of a "back up". As well as bass guitar I play tuba maybe I need a back up one of them as well ?? don't think so.[/quote] Cause it is an excellent excuse to convince the wife you need to buy another Bass I very rarely play a 4 string these days but took my Jazz to a rehearsal a couple of weeks back and played crap, (well crapper than normal....). Am so used to having the B String there I was lost without it. It's a 5 String Back-Up for me.

Keth came over last Saturday and relieved me of my G&L 2500. Top guy. Great comms before he came over and a couple of good chats on the phone. Had his Ray Turner Electroline with him, so got a chance of a noodle with it. Nice to meet up with you Keith and hope to see you again some time.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' post='133091' date='Feb 3 2008, 03:57 PM']Stuart is a top seller, helpful, friendly and I'm very satisfied with the G&L. Keith[/quote] Cheers Keith. Was going to get in touch to see how the first gig went with the G&L. Guess it went OK. Really nice to meet you and enjoyed the "chats". Hope we meet up again sometime. Stuart

Check the e-Bay posts. There is an Italian guy selling Jazz bodies in some really nice woods and they are coming out around 99 Euros. There is a BassChatter who has bought one.

Anyone in South Manchester looking for a trolley, Aldi in Altrincham had 12 left when I picked mine up earlier.

Got mine at 8:45 this morning. Can't knock the speed of delivery. I got an extra 2 twisty things as well. Handy having a couple of spares.

Pete, I cab get the head up to Matt. Will PM you. Cheers, Stuart
