    I'm not a guitarist, not even slightly. But if I was, there's three guitars I'd want: a beaten up old natural Tele, a Parker Fly Artist, and a D'Angelico New Yorker.

    Of course, there once was a time when the obvious answer was "get thee to Wapping". Ohh, those were the days. *very wistful sigh*

    OP, I don't know where you are geographically, but with that sort of hefty budget I would definitely consider a day off & a road trip to a specialist stockist such as Bass Direct or the Bass Gallery. If you can't find it in either of those places, it doesn't exist.

    We definitely need a meet-up. A formal BC presence would be really cool and I'd be up for helping out if needed.

    Yes. At last, a bass show that a} I can get to in less than half a day, and b} won't have me emptying my wallet into GWR's coffers.

    1. @scrumpymike - everything he owns unless he sells it between now and then 2. Rich - Shuker 5-string, OLP/Jaydee fretless 'Ray, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super 12T cab. Keep it going folks
  8. Rich
    Nope, let's do it baby.
  9. Rich
    And Shuker no.2..?

    As tractors go, the old Lambos are tremendously sexy.

    Coming soon to a lawyer's wall near you, never to make a sound in anger.

    I tend to put 13A fuses in things with heating elements -- kettle, toaster, etc -- and in the plugs for extension cables, 4-ways etc. Everything else gets 3A or 5A. My Shuttle amp has a 5A I think, the wireless PSU a 3A. I recall that my old Carlsbro Delta bass amp came with a 7A slo-blo. Must have been a big ol' inrush.

    I'd go to Jon Shuker and I'd say "Hello Jon, here are some biscuits**, please make me this:" Headless 5-string. 32" scale, through-neck. Neck probably a maple/wenge/flamed maple sandwich like my current Shuker. Definitely a birdseye maple board and orange side LEDs. Body shape and woods undecided***, but a chambered body for light weight. Turner MC5X Multicoil pickups with 'English Voicing', as per funkle's 'Wal-ish'. Lusithand Double NFP Special preamp, again as per @funkle's 'Wal-ish'. Basically I'd like a headless 32" Wal ** there would also be money involved. Sadly Jon doesn't make basses in exchange for Hobnobs. *** this would involve a trip into Jon's legendary Wood Store... if you know, you know

    Likewise my Shuttle 9.2. Same problem, same solution.

    Thank you for the lecture and for pointing out my minor failings, when I have a spare moment (believe it or not, this isn't actually my day job) I'll go through and "moderate it impartially". Oh, and cheers for the suggestion that it's deliberate inequality rather than genuine error. Much appreciated. However, you've missed one important point regarding the deleting of posts: IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
  17. Rich
    Yeah, I might do that. Whatever happens, I'll keep the hat -- if I get a new stage one, I'll just cut all the strings off this and use it as a sun hat. If the bloody sun ever comes out, that is.
  18. Rich
    Mmm. Tunnock's.

    OK folks, the nasty jibes and passive-aggressive (or just aggressive) snideness stop right now or the thread gets locked. There is no place here for that sort of childish nonsense. If you're going to debate, do it like grown-ups.

    This man was born on this day in 1908. Maybe not a familiar face, but you know his work. This is Barry Gray, the man responsible for bringing the Thunderbirds (and Stingray and Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 and UFO and all the other Gerry Anderson masterpieces) to life with his sensational music. For me, the Thunderbirds March is and always will be the finest TV theme of all time, but there are so many other superb pieces within those soundtracks. Have a listen to this, the "Thunderbirds Zero-X Theme", for another of example of his mastery. Together, he and Mr Anderson gave the young me endless hours of pure escapist joy -- and yes, the older me still loves to watch and listen to their amazing work. How I wish I could have met them both to thank them.

    Apols for the quality, it's a crop from a wider shot, but this is one of my stage personas -- I call it 'Australian Idiot', complete with yet another hat. I'm going to have to replace it soon, as some of the corks have split and are clinging on for dear life.
  22. Rich
    Yes, my first reaction was 3. The more I listen to it, the more I prefer it.

    Bucket-list ones that I've played: 100 Club Marquee O2 Forum Kentish Town (back when it was Town & Country Club) Thekla, Bristol Yet to do, but time is not on my side: Any major festival One we had to miss out on: McLaren after-party at the Monaco Grand Prix (that hurt)

    Ska/reggae band. Our normal is two sets, set 1 is 45 mins and set 2 is 55ish, with a 15 minute encore. If they're really raising the roof, we drag Night Boat to Cairo out for ages with a bunch of solos. We can do up to 2x60+enc, but none of us are getting any younger

    Some time ago I found a wiring diagram for the Roscoe Beck -- I'm assuming it's accurate as I've never seen the innards of one. I'd definitely consider performing some surgery if I got one of these.
