[quote name='Marky L' post='895313' date='Jul 15 2010, 07:57 AM']Surely, what goes on tour stays on tour???? You never know who could be reading this![/quote] Precisely!!! The Statute of Limitations probably hasn't run out on some of the stuff that I've done in the past.......and the Wife sometimes reads this over my shoulder.

Really chuffed that all went well, mate. I'll keep an eye out for the Band playing in future, and I'll pop along to slaver all over your Rig!

Well? You're back now.....how did it go?

Where abouts is the Gig? I'm at Nikhs in Blyth, which is around your area, so I could probably catch your Band between sets.

I have to agree. It annoys me when I look at a picture of a Bass "upside down" from my perspective. I much prefer to see it as I would from an audience point of view, as if it was being played in front of me. I don't like the look of the logo on "redneF" Basses!

You could probably do with spelling 'attitude' correctly as well.

A better Bass than I have at the moment.

Quick Google for Double Guitar Strap brought this and a few more up. [url="http://www.darestrap.com/"]http://www.darestrap.com/[/url]

Stick around Ginger Gits for a while, read the threads, and you'll soon find out that the "Losers" are few and far between. (We name and shame them as well.) Don't let your experiences with a bunch of tosspot Wannabees put you off. It's great up here. man! Quick edit for afterthought:- Stop telling everyone how great your Gear is, and how wonderful you are. It might be, and you might be, but it comes across as pretty arrogant reading. "Good Gear and loads of experience" sounds so much better. Just my two pennorth about the Geordie mindset.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='842741' date='May 20 2010, 01:24 AM']Me too. I wonder if they've smelt a rat given how many registrations they've had in a short space of time.[/quote] Nope - it's run by one lad on his own, who works in an NHS Theatre. They've had quite a few emergencies recently, so he's been working overtime a lot, and just collapsing into bed when he gets home. If he gets a chance, he logs on during work hours on his posh phone, and ok's the registrations. Don't panic, everybody's welcome.

[quote name='Heathy' post='830943' date='May 7 2010, 07:26 PM']There's lots more in the loft, but more about that later. Heathy[/quote] I don't suppose you've got your Grandfathers 1962 Jazz up there, have you? (You'll "get" this if you've read any of the e-bay links)

It is now, but it wasn't before. It's been moved.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='811556' date='Apr 19 2010, 04:58 PM']Are they making savings by using the same neck for the four string and the five string?[/quote] Looks like it.

If you're taking it to Jez to get seen to, don't worry about expense. He's one of the guys who DOESN'T take the p*ss when it comes to pricing. He did my old Trace amp last year, and I got it back quickly, working perfectly, for a VERY reasonable price. (It cost more for the flipping Diesel to get to his place-He's miles away from me.)

I'd probably have been happier paying money to someone who could spell "whuppin'" properly.

Am I missing something? Fender P Bass, made by Warwick? (Always check what you've written before you post on e-bay.)
