I'll have a punt please -- don't know if that makes me next or what?

I think we all are, really.

Ah well... you pays yer money (or not in this case) I guess. FWIW, I enjoyed it. And I know who won the amp too... spawny bastid. EDIT. And I now have slight GAS for an Urge.

Got through the whole year without GAS to speak of... now starting to feel yearnings for a G-B Shuttle or perhaps NeoPak head. I still adore the SM900, but the damn thing's heavier than my cabs for feck's sake...

[b]Pros:[/b][list] [*]Sound. (I saw a band at the Bristol harbour festival the other week, the bassist was using a Shuttle combo with an extension cab... the best bass sound I've heard in ages.) [/list][b]Cons:[/b][list] [*]I haven't got one. [/list]Just when you think your GAS is sorted...

[quote name='Bassassin' post='562597' date='Aug 7 2009, 09:51 AM']For me, playing music, specifically gigging, whether it be to 2 people or 200 is a life-affirming experience - we've had a couple of long breaks (6 months or so) and I hate it - in a sense gigging is what I play music for.[/quote] +10000000000000000000 I don't intend to stop playing/gigging until they screw the lid down. Even then, I shall be pestering Keith Moon and Jimi Hendrix for a jam.

Aw never mind, it was probably rubbish anyway. Honest. When I see the model designation 'IGB', I always read it as a word rhyming with 'Digby'. Is it just me?

[quote name='OldGit' post='562232' date='Aug 6 2009, 08:37 PM']However if you don't do number one, you are wasting your time doing number two.[/quote] Must... not... make... juvenile toilet gag...

The original's lost? Dammit, now we'll have to send it round everybody who's read it to collect the signatures again

Bagsy me after acidcool.

If memory serves, Wilkes were among the first to offer them in any number. I've never seen a Jaydee with them, apart from that sale one! They're not an over the counter one-size-fits-all thing... have a word with your friendly neighbourhood luthier. They won't stop [u]all[/u] damage to a fretless, you'll still get normal string wear along the board, but it will stop the end of the board getting knackered from smacking the string against it. And it will add the slap's percussive element that you get from a fretted bass.

I've had my Comfort Strapppp for about 10 years now. Fabulously comfortable, even with 10lbs of Wal hanging off it. If I ever need to get a replacement, I shall buy another Comfort Strapppppp without hesitation. And I don't care how it looks.

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='558812' date='Aug 2 2009, 11:01 PM']Nice bass - I've got Rich's old one - being refurbished at John's as we speak![/quote] Cool -- what's he doing to it Nick? And has he found the ultra-hi-tech precision engineered pickup mounting system yet??

Bloke from Nirvana - 4th Jamerson - 15th Jaco - nowhere Ridiculous 'poll'.

Leave. Now.

Utterly Utterly Stunning.

[font="Century Gothic"]Anyone know of anywhere in the UK where I can source a footswitch for my SM-900 head? Ideally without having to take out a bank loan to buy it Alternatively (better?), is a schematic diagram of said footswitch available anywhere? I'm handy with a soldering iron so I'd quite happily have a crack at making one.[/font]

Love that Jazz... the combination of white/white/maple is right up my street. If that neck was bound with pearl blocks, I'd rob a bank to buy it off you Gorgeous.
