*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Once they've sold or removed their stuff, some guys edit the title of their thread so that it starts with 'SOLD' or' WITHDRAWN'.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.

[quote name='3V17C' post='87969' date='Nov 13 2007, 05:30 PM']nuno rules! i was never really into extreme becasue that singer annoyed the hell out of me, but as a guitarist nuno is definitely up there, especially listening to some of his solo bits n bobs more recently.[/quote] What about the unison guitar/bass solo in 'Cupid's Dead'..?? 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.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='86693' date='Nov 10 2007, 10:49 PM']Another update: Having sold my Jaydee Supernatural Mark King and the sale of my Smith BSR6GN is pending payment of balance, I've added [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3611"]Flanker[/url]s Celinder Update P to the collection this weekend. 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.

[b]Mark King[/b]... I used to think the sun shone out of his every orifice, he was my first big hero, god I wanted to [i]be[/i] him... but now 20 years later, he's still doing [u]exactly the same thing[/u]... the only thing that has changed is his waistline He used to be a slap god, but nowadays youtube is crawling with young guys who can completely blow him into the weeds. Ironically, my favourite by far of his 'recent' work is his 'One Man' solo album... not a single slapped note on the entire thing, just good well-written well-performed well-produced songs. Real songs.

Oh yesss, me likee. It looks even better in the flesh (well, wood). Good flamed maple looks just so right in a nice burst finish.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='85988' date='Nov 9 2007, 03:31 PM']Do you have a bigger picture of this beauty?[/quote] Yup.

This is my Shuker... tobacco burst over burr maple. Very orange in sunlight. Sorry about the small & crappy pic. [attachment=3399:shuke.jpg]
