[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1370889291' post='2107016'] how about some tasteful [b] Little Feat[/b] [/quote] Is there any distasteful Little Feat? Steve Earle should be on your list.

Great guitar maker, and yes, big P90 fan here as well - that's a very wise buy!

Giving away an original Electro Harmonix Polychorus in the 80's.

Broken my current vinyl habit to buy a copy! Look forward to hearing it, good luck with the release Nige.

Terrific stuff Bilbo,let me know if you set up a Facebook page and I'll make sure I share it with my old Ipswich mates.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1366800602' post='2057451'] Most people I hear playing it play the guitar riff but with single notes instead of chords.. I've never heard anyone but myself playing the actual bassline [/quote] The right key let alone the actual bassline

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1366747248' post='2056865'] Smoke On The Water comes to mind! [/quote] Sorry, original post possibly a little bit confrontational - What I should have said is I don't think anyone would notice if you played this as the bassline isn't particularly obvious.

Rehearsed it last night with the settings as you had left them (although active off) - never used it with gain up that high, it sounded fabulous Thanks for that!

Hi Bren, Didn't want to remain anonymous, just wanted to hear your genuine response to the Carvin before discussing it - I almost feel embarrassed to compare it to amps costing at least twice as much so wanted you and I to get your own unbiased opinion on it. Thrilled you like it (as I'm sure Phil at Bass Gear will be) Great band and fabulous playing, esp you and your drummer! Mike

Top man - takes guts to do what you have just done. Welcome back

Huge variety here - Roto's are almost roundwounds with a little of the edge taken off whereas Status and D'addario are closer to flatwounds with a completely flat surface. I was using Roto's as I liked the extra bit of grunt I got from them having found the Status ones a little too tame (however, many on here love them). I have now switched to Picato which are as cheap as the Status but to my ears a bit brighter (which, although I haven't ried them, I understand the D'addario's also are).

How come such a beat up body has such a pristine (and absolutely stunning) fingerboard?

Great site, £20 very fair, especially as I'm now settled with what I have so nothing to sell I think the bad vibes that do happen on OT could reflect the times we are going through with a lot more divisiveness in life in general. Overall though I still think the site is very "entertaining"

Metal band you say - "Any Old Iron".....................OK, I've got me coat already!

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1365802834' post='2044864'] After I bought it I told Cropper that he caused a fight between me & my other half, "Oh my God, what did I do?" he says. "She says you wrote [i]"30 second lover"[/i] about me", says I. He looked puzzled for a second then laughed so much he sprayed red wine out, "You got me, - but *whispering* really it means the opposite of that, it's a compliment for you". [/quote]

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1365801760' post='2044847'] Ooh, thanks Stu, just ordered on vinyl - CD player in the car isn't working anyway! [/quote] [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1365802582' post='2044857'] Good job you have a record player in your car then! [/quote] Yeah, but have to be really careful missing potholes!

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1365790757' post='2044695'] "Dedicated" - Cropper's tribute to the Five Royale's; the band who inspired him to play. [/quote] Ooh, thanks Stu, just ordered on vinyl - CD player in the car isn't working anyway!

Carvin BX500 - I absolutely love mine and the spec certainly fits your bill, as would the price, leaving you a nice budget for cabs: http://www.carvinworld.com/manuals/BX500-single-pages.pdf Got mine from Bassgear in Twyford - Phil and his team are great to deal with.

Would be nice to be in a position to compare! But then again I can't vote for the only one I own, Shuker

Making my BX500 feel very inadequate
