I love it... up as far as the nut. Then, it all goes tragically wrong.

These are great basses, and this strikes me as a bit of a bargain BIN too. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140183143083&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123"]Status Groove 5[/url]

Well done for carrying on regardless. God, how did you manage to hold on for so long? I played a gig with a raging bout of 'flu once, real 'flu not this silly man-flu cold nonsense. Got through by the power of adrenalin, walked off stage and passed out almost immediately, spent the next 4 days in bed. Why do we do these daft things, ploughing ahead with a gig whilst suffering from something that we wouldn't dream of going to our day-job with? Is it just artistic integrity? Fear of breaking a contract? Bulldog spirit? Insanity?

+2 for the Bass Collection basses. Nice basses, good sound, and best of all, light.

I'm probably going to take mine up (going with Si, couldn't resist really), as I'd like a wee bit ground off the bottom of the G bridge saddle... can't get it quite as low as I'd like.

*uncontrollable drooling* god, that blue Tune 5 is the absolute [i]sex[/i]... Oh bloody hell Ped, what have you done..? You've made me go and look at that bloody Ishibashi site... Moon Jazz, £339...

Once they've sold or removed their stuff, some guys edit the title of their thread so that it starts with 'SOLD' or' WITHDRAWN'. This is the way forward, as giving the ability to delete threads in just the one forum would probably be a nightmare.

[quote name='BB2000' post='90822' date='Nov 19 2007, 02:17 PM']There's a used Peavey T-Max at the bass centre for under £200.[/quote] That is an absurd bargain for a hell of a lot of amp. You could do far worse than that.

Yup exactly, it's all practice... can be daunting at first but you soon get used to it. The real challenge comes when you've got a complex bass part with a totally different vocal line. I don't know how Mark King does it, it's easily the most impressive aspect of his playing. More difficult than singing and playing, is talking and playing. Try it some time, just carry out a normal coversation while you play. Impossible!

And bear in mind that the 100 watt figure is the absolute maximum, with the amp shrieking its head off and on the verge of frying. Realistically you will never get 100 watts from a 100 watt amp.

Outrageous!

Bring me the tissues, quick...

Beautiful, gorgeous, oh yessss. I love Wal 5ers. Stick with the black, looks good.

Nice bass. Not a Warwick fan, but I could find house space for that one. Natalie's a bit of a fox too.

Its going to come in handy for those motown numbers we do.[/quote] Hold on, say that again. [quote]Having sold my Jaydee Supernatural Mark King[/quote] That's what I thought you said. Blige, I never thought I'd see the day... I thought your JD was as attached to you as my Wal is to me. Christ, I bet you had to think hard before putting that one up for grabs mate. Fabulous looking collection though. You're right, the V8 with those cabs looks the absolute poodle's. A real "oi, are you looking at me?" rig. And I can still vouch for the general beautifulness of that fretted Smith 5... part of me really wishes I'd taken you up on it when you offered to sell it to me a few years back.

The words "laugh", "having" and " he's a" spring to mind...

Just [i]beautiful[/i]. Welcome to the Shuker Owners' Club (Maple Neck Sub-section)

Saturday night at the Fleece in Bristol... always a good night there, but the placed was absolutely rammed to the rafters last night... they hit the fire limit and were turning people away by 9 o'clock. Support from a very good covers band The Collective, nice guys and some unusual covers well played. We had one or two new tunes in our set, seemed to go down well. Crowd were in good voice, brilliant atmosphere and god it was hot! Too funky in heeyar..! A great night. Bassist's eye view of the punters:

Pointy headstock?? my god, what was Mr. Roscoe thinking?? It's as ugly as the rest of the bass is beautiful, i.e. very.
