Many many years ago, my band played support to a band in which Nick Beggs was guesting. I had a wee slappy solo in one of our songs; after I'd done it, I glanced into the crowd and Nick B was looking at me, & he smiled and raised his pint at me. I was walking on air for the next month after that.

He's a total geezer, and as mad as a hatstand.

Ah, but they have also said that they'll send a new o/p trans if it doesn't cure it. At least they aren't adopting the *shrug* "not my problem mate" approach that some amp manufacturers seem to take.

These things are gorgeous in every way. It's a very modern sound (well, of its time anyway) from what I remember, slap tone to die for. Buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it, ooooh you know you want to. That German price is a steal.

One thing is that the cab with the lower impedance, i.e. the combo itself, will be getting more of those watts and will therefore *in theory* be louder than the Ashdown cab.

OK, so what happened to the discussion re: colour that was developing here? Several comments seem to have disappeared without trace! And no, they haven't been mod-deleted.

And that, my friends, would be a [i]brilliant[/i] bona-fide bang-for-buck bargain. How's that for a spot of early morning alliteration? +1 for a terrific amp.

Claypool's timing seems OK, but his intonation on fretless absolutely [i]sucks[/i]. I've never understood the fuss about this guy. You want to hear off the wall fretless playing? Go check out some of Mick Karn's work. Sorry, a bit off topic but I had to get that off my chest.

IIRC Tom wotnwhy had/has a Glock cab..? EDIT: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=3975&view=findpost&p=49614"]Yes, he does[/url]

Handsome beasty. The bass is nice too.

Blimey, for a strange neck profile you ought to try my Wal. Never mind a D, it's more like a > ..! The TRBsixers are lovely instruments, but with the standard string spacing they are simply too wwwwwwide for my silly stumpy little fingers. Such a pity, cos they really are gorgeous.

Oh yes, the time is right and the moment is ripe and, errm, lots of other stuff basically meaning 'yes let's do it'

No... she got pissed off about a perceived sexism issue a while back, and disappeared completely. AFAIK she hasn't been back at all since. Shame.

I'm slightly further out in the sticks, in Nailsea, but hey it isn't far into town

I'm amazed she managed to play at all -- whenever I've had a seizure in the past it's taken me hours, [i]days[/i] to start feeling right again. Christ, it takes me a while to even remember my own name, never mind how to play.

I want them to make a fretless 5 just like this. Perhaps if I asked them nicely they would. Please Squier, make a nice fretless deluxe Jazz V, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

Bristle? 'Tiz a big zity near Port-Zed and Nelzy, 'nit?

You'm learned the krek waiters peak Bristle, 'av 'ee? Gert lush!

Hi Pete and welcome, from a fellow Bristol bassist also in a big soul-r'n'b-pop-funk-lunacy band (see sig for details!) There's a whole load of us Bristlers on here, we're going to have to organise another BC-Bristol night on the ale soon!

I gave up going there after getting fed up with either their total indifference or else being made to feel as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool.[/quote]+1. They will [u]never[/u] get any of my money. [quote name='The Burpster' post='49146' date='Aug 22 2007, 07:46 PM']So I was wondering are there any bass only shops/ guitar shops with big bass sections that you walk away form with a big grin on your face EVERY time you go in.....[/quote]Yes... the Bass Centre, in Wapping, circa 1986 [i]*sigh*[/i] ahhhh those were the days, my friend...
