Eeesh On second thoughts that was a moment of complete weakness, I love the sound of my rig, why should I change it? *smacks self on forehead* GAS overpowered reason for a second there Ash

Yeah this came up in my PMT as well. They don't like giving cardboard boxes away as they view eBay and private sales as direct competition. Apparently mine is barely staying afloat at the moment so this might have something to do with it...

^My thoughts exactly^ haha, welcome to the fold, dude

^lol^

Whoops...sorry mate Hope no offense was taken But yes he sounds like a bit of a douchebag

Meh he sounds like a bit of a prat trying to lecture you but in the end, musical instruments don't have to be bought to be performed. They're bought for enjoyment, of which performing is an offshoot (for most people)... While he might be an idiot for lecturing don't knock him for having a load of nice basses and not performing. If he's loaded he probably has a pretty high stress job and if buying basses is his hobby then power to him. All strictly IMO of course. Or have I missed the point of some of the posts... If I have, no offence meant

Got my grubby mitts on one of these a couple of days ago and wow is all I can say. Built superbly, looked amazing and sounded like the mutts nutts (the B in particular). It had a lovely rocky tone to it and it preserved the P sound well Haven't seen these in the UK yet though, anyone seen them hanging about? What you guys think of them? I loved it!

Very excited! I had to share...sorry In Boston at the moment and I just dropped into a guitar center to pick up some strings / picks for guitarist buddies, and it turns out they got in a geddy that morning. Played it, thinking I'd just mess about on it and put it back...an hour later I haggled them down 100 dollars and put down a deposit Picking it up tomorrow! I can't wait!

First played - Peavey international series 4 string First bought - Peavey international series 4 string Still have it, never getting rid of it!

Going well here in Oxford, just had our main venue (zodiac, 250 and 450 person stages) refurbished with a big 900+ person venue added to the back of it (however it's now an academy so you win some you lose some eh?) Also had another large one open recently, it's bloody huge, gotta be over a thousand. Also the old guard are going well...so yeah, it's good here Jesus I come accross as a smug bastard here...

Righty o, On my travels out here in Boston I've found a very nice Fender american deluxe J at a very nice price. It's a beauty - tobacco sunburst and sounds awesome, however, there's one problem - it doesn't have a maple neck. Being a stickler for these kind of things aside from Warmoth or the like is there anywhere i can source fender branded necks? ta' Ash

Save yourself alot of hassle, just buy a transformer. No one will touch my mesa to change the transformer . And the whole 300 watt thing doesn't work, my mesa needs a 2000 watt transformer. Hope it helps

Jeez...seems I'm blessed - all the bands I'm in have (usually) the same drummer, been friends with him for yonks and we're tighter than a tight thing Still, people just upping and leaving is just not on - frontman/only guitarist did for one band of mine a while ago. Lost some nice gigs over it too. Dicks.

Can't recommend a boogie enough, I've got a big block 750, which from what i can understand is a slightly stripped down version of the 600 (preamp wise). Absolutely love it, and through two 410s? Yum

Don't know if it fits with you but I got that a while ago, just random dizzyness that got progressively worse - turned out to be Labyrinthitis. Had it a couple times since then, and I found when it starts up loud noises don't help... I could be talking out my arse here though.

[quote name='steve-norris' post='209880' date='May 30 2008, 10:00 PM']hopefully i have bagged myself some indoors playing time, the other day my wife said "what parcels should we expect this month then? I never get any parcels.." fair comment with all the bass equipment i have been through, my reply was "none got every thing i want/need (actually i did order a badassIII )" . Well i am feeling slightly smug as she is away at her mothers so i have brought her a laptop and made sure it's addressed to her, should be OK for some uninterrupted playing time when my shuttle arrives [/quote] You dog you

I have to say it, never liked BC's before. But damn. Those are some tasty basses.
