  1. Wonderful basses. I let my similar 5-string go (for an absolute song, it was just before the boom when Rob announced he was stopping, bloody typical) and I rather regret it. GLWTS, the buyer will be getting a classic.
  2. Diamonds Are Forever - Burly Chassis
  3. The only separate pre/power rig I've ever had was a Trace GP12SMX pre into a SoundTech PS802 1U 800w power amp. The Trace SMX is still my favourite preamp of all time. Talking of DIY gear... has anyone ever had a go at building the Kreuzer JFET bass preamp? I believe @orangepeelneil had a project build one about a million years ago.
  4. I'm really hoping to, although real life being what it is I might not be able to. And in the spirit of reciprocal self-depracation: The Soup Destroyers Drain To Skaville
  5. I certainly count myself very fortunate in that I've never had any difficulty swapping between 4 and 5.
  6. Every Crane of Sand - Bob Dylan
  7. They strike me as a sort of bastárdised Bellowhead/Fisherman's Friends mashup without the appeal or the ability of either. And they make for quite horrifying reading.
  8. This argument is adding nothing to the topic. If you wish to continue the frank exchange of views, please do so via PMs.
  9. @0175westwood29 When you sell an item, please add the word SOLD to the subject title.
  10. Wow. The only Wilkes bass I've ever laid hands on was a fretless with the big slap plates in the fingerboard, that was a proper monster. This looks gorgeous. What's the string spacing at the bridge? Looks like 17 or so in the pics?
  11. Oh thank god. You see so many of these lovely basses with the E and G strung all to cóck at the headstock (generally as per the red lines below), so you have restored my faith in human nature by doing it properly. Thank you thank you thank you. Will you be bringing this wee cutie to the SWBB?
  12. Wooden Tít Be Good - Nik Kershaw
  13. Rama Llama Ding Dong -- Sha Na Na
  14. In all honesty, I'd trawl through Farcebook marketplace and pick up something from there. 75 quid would get you an Encore / Vintage / Harley B or some such, that will be a much better bet and a safer punt than anything from DH Gate.
  15. Took a little trip to the seaside this weekend, down to Dorset. I was walking along the beach when I saw a bloke and a woman shouting, and then they started fighting. It got so bad that the police turned up, but instead of calming things down the copper started hitting the guy with his baton. Then the bloke got hold of the baton and started hitting his wife AND the copper.

    Then just when I couldn’t imagine things getting any worse, a crocodile turned up and stole all the sausages.

      That's the way to do it! 🙂

  16. You might want to consider including some photos, including one with your username and the date in it.
  17. Had one of those "Dad this is my new number" scam texts this morning. Rather than immediately delete it, I'm going to see how long I can keep them going. I asked "is that you Felicity?" and they said yes. Obvs I do not have a daughter named Felicity :D

     So now I've invented Felicity's no-good bum of a husband Hugo, who keeps selling her iPhones to fund his gambling habit. Let's see if they take that bait too. :lol:

      Sadly, Hugo seems to have scared them off. :(

      I wish I had the time to play :D

      I recently got a message on my phone about something I'm selling on Gumtree. After a couple of messages, the not uncommon "I'll send a courier to pick it up at 11 tomorrow, is that ok?" surfaced. I just replied "no problem, but I'll be at work at that time, you can collect from there, it's a Police Station and it'll be open".

       

      Silence.

      Also, do forward the text message to the national phishing reporting number (7726).

  18. You were asked to 'play nice'. May I request that you do so? Thank you.
  19. Obvious troll is obvious.
