I bought this Yamaha OC-01 on fleaBay for absolute peanuts a while back. It is utterly brilliant, probably the best tracking of any octaver I've had and a great smooth sound. The Korg OCT-1 is identical in every way except name. EDIT: there's one [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200508536393"]here[/url], it's already going for more than I paid for mine..!

Gents, I have an update: Si's funeral will be at [b]Canford Crematorium, Canford Lane, Westbury On Trym, Bristol BS9 3PQ[/b] at 12 noon on [b]Wednesday 1st September[/b] and afterwards at his sister's house -- PM me if you want the address. I am told that friends are welcome both at the service and the wake. Let me know if you intend to come along. It would be good to see you, and to get together and raise a BC glass to the old fella. Awaiting details for a charity for any donations in memory of Si.

The best P bass money can buy is the one that, when you play it, makes you go "ooh" and come over all unnecessary more than any other. Could be a Lakky, could be a Celinder, could be a MIM.

Thumptastic! What a glorious piece of work. Just don't take it outside when it's snowing, or you'll never find it. Congrats.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='929040' date='Aug 18 2010, 08:28 PM']Move on man... Don't worry about it. I got the sack from a band when they landed quite a considerable support slot with a notable band on their big comeback tour. They decided they wanted to get their friend back in (who had quit the band and led to me being auditioned to join) incase they hit the big time. [b]They played the gigs, nobody cared, nobody has heard from them since[/b].[/quote] I believe this is what they call 'poetic justice'

Amazingly, so did he

A few more pics to hopefully help remember him with a smile: Those trousers are a fashion statement. The statement reads: "I bought these at gunpoint". [attachment=57012:eek.jpg] 'Roundabout'? More of a staggered T junction ALERT! ALERT! IMMINENT CREDIBILITY FAILURE!

Yes, incredibly it's still going. Not for much longer though.

Yes. Yes. Curse you, sweet soft cookies, with your heavenly chewiness and your bits of chocolate and stuff, for you have taken my waist from a 34 to a... well, rather more than a 34.

Likewise.

Oh, it was comedic genius. A mirthful tour de force. It reminded me of 'Allo 'Allo, but without the subtlety.

That's one to look forward to. Let's hope it's a bit better than 'Rhapsody In Glue' though.

Who said he was?

When I saw Genesis on their Mama tour in 1984, Mike Rutherford was using a doubleneck gtr+bass Status. In fact, Status made all the guitars and basses used by Daryl and Mike at that gig. Seemed to be quite a promotional splurge. Whatever happened to that doubleneck, I wonder?

Oh god, this stuff is heartbreaking. Is there anyone here that he [i]didn't[/i] help? What a man. Irreplaceable.

[quote name='Machines' post='927917' date='Aug 17 2010, 07:39 PM']Looks like our humour eradication scheme is going well, excellent ![/quote] Yay for us right you lot, enjoy your fckin selves or the puppies get it.

Rhyming slang. Nah, don't get it. I must be thick or summat. Anyway, that's how we get to be mods and stuff, y'know. No brainpower, but an insatiable desire to bully and pulverise. And once we've strangled a certain number of puppies, we get to be Admins.

I'm not admin, sweetie, I'm just a mod.

Yup, them's the ones... originally had a [url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/jazza42uk/DSC00625.jpg"]2x10 plus 1x15 setup[/url], but after reading all the stuff about having similar sized speakers I took the plunge and did a staight swap of my 210 for the second 115 (with one of our number... really sorry, but I can't remember who. If you're reading this, are you still happy with the 210?). And to my ears, it is loads better as a rig. A much more rounded, warmer sound, but the horns still give all the snap I need when I want it. And they're soooo light too. Love 'em.

I reckon it's that Ugly Dog, in human form.
