Mrs Tinman

If you need me darling, I'm upstairs surrounded by holiday brochures!

Sorry Bob, not sure we can help What I have now found are the following: D'addario nickel wound round electric bass strings, 050 070 085 105 regular gauge long scale EXL160TP but the packet is open and they appear to have been used D'Addario Chromes warm/mellow flat wound ECB82 medium gauge 050 070 085 105 long scale packet is open but I don't think they have been used DR Fat Beams marcus miller signature set MM-45 45 65 85 105 unopened box Shout if any of these sound any good

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='675072' date='Dec 5 2009, 04:45 PM'][/quote] That is [i]so[/i] not what you looked like in my head! Where, ermmm, conveniently, people are supposed to look like their avatars!

A quick venture into the spare room has not thrown up any D'addarios at present (although I know that Pete has used them before and we have had packets of them lying around). If you can bear with me, I think the simplest thing is just to ask Pete the question when he wakes up, which should be sometime in the next few hours

Do any look like these....? [url="http://store.daddario.com/category/145851/Chromes_Flat_Wound"]http://store.daddario.com/category/145851/Chromes_Flat_Wound[/url] Or [url="http://store.daddario.com/category/145912/XL_Nickel_Round_Wound"]http://store.daddario.com/category/145912/...kel_Round_Wound[/url] I can't remember what he uses now.... although we did have a discussion about strings about a yr ago.... If his string colection does look like those above could you get back to me and I'll PM my fone #. Bob[/quote] Ooooh yes - I do think we have several packets of strings that look like that somewhere! Now of course, I just have to determine where I have tidied them away to, or establish if himself has removed them all to the practice location in order to prevent them from being subjected to my tidying. For 'tidying' read 'shifting piles of stuff out the way to make room for more stuff!' Back later!

I wish I knew how to establish if any of the strings we have here would be of any use to you. I will try and remember to ask Pete when he surfaces from his slumbers in Las Vegas

Well done!

I hope you guys are all having a good day - looking forward to pictures!

Sometimes the things we look forward to least turn out to be really good - I hope Friday goes really well and you have a lot of fun !

Save up the extra money to buy it cheaper elsewhere and then use the voucher to buy everyone's Christmas presents from Selfriges. Simples!

Awwwww, ain't love grand? :wub: Many congratulations on your engagement, your fiancee is a top lass!

[quote name='The Funk' post='646776' date='Nov 5 2009, 10:36 PM']Looking over the shoulder of the keyboard player/sax player/bandleader to see a middle-aged couple full on going at it to the sound of our music, especially his sax solo. She literally dropped her knickers and straddled her fella while facing the bandleader.[/quote] Hahahahahahaha - love it! Never under-estimate the so -called 'middle-aged'

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='646164' date='Nov 5 2009, 12:27 PM']Would it have gone along the lines of, "I've bought this bass........"[/quote] [quote name='Tinman' post='646176' date='Nov 5 2009, 12:39 PM']Hahaha, it would probably go that way. [/quote] Be prepared for 'I've bought these air tickets to Sri Lanka........!' Sorry for thread hi-jacking (notttttt!) As you were!

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='646156' date='Nov 5 2009, 12:19 PM']Tinman - Just so as we are clear, I was the Huggy Bear character who (accidentally) gave Mrs. Tinman the word on the street re this thread. :blush:[/quote] You 've just ruined my future plans for using you as a spy! Why'd'ya go and 'fess up for!

[quote name='Tinman' post='645503' date='Nov 4 2009, 05:34 PM']The main reason for asking is that I'm off to the States again in a couple of weeks and some of you know what happened last time. [/quote] You're in the sh!t now you sneaky sod! Thank heavens for BC'ers who innocently grass you up!

Watching Tinman's band play when he would sing lead vocals on 'Feel Like Makin' Love' directly to me :wub: :wub: :wub:

[quote name='ped' post='643816' date='Nov 2 2009, 08:26 PM']Also if you are in one of the pics and maybe you told the wife you were at work/doing DIY or whatever and you would prefer not to appear in the mag, please also let me know.[/quote] [quote name='Captain Rumble' post='644511' date='Nov 3 2009, 04:59 PM']Be my guest wife didnt care where I was going ..... as long as I was going [/quote]

Speak nicely to a modly person and get this moved, I should think even general bass discussion would guarantee it more views!

[quote name='Buzz' post='642627' date='Nov 1 2009, 05:06 PM']Dangerous though, because if she's money savvy she'll follow up with "how much did [i]that[/i] cost then?" which'll put you in a whole world of pain if she has a vague idea of respray costs (ie, in the hundreds).[/quote] I hadn't as much as a vague idea, but I do now!!!! Thanks Buzz, I'll file that away safely for future reference!

[quote name='leschirons' post='642316' date='Nov 1 2009, 09:02 AM']I imagine I'll end up in some home somewhere staring out of a window trying to figure out why my chair feels wet.[/quote] I think I already live there! [quote name='bigd1' post='642391' date='Nov 1 2009, 10:50 AM']What will be really strange is when you come across this bass, where you left it, in your house ! Ta very glad Dale[/quote] Very good point! Have you actually had a look around your house Beerdragon? [quote name='gerryc' post='642392' date='Nov 1 2009, 10:51 AM']That's why Stannah stairlifts have got a new turbo charged version, to get you upstairs before you forget what you went up there for.[/quote] Hahahahaha!

[quote name='OldGit' post='642169' date='Oct 31 2009, 09:24 PM']Die on my @rs3 some times ...[/quote] 'Oh, you just died on your arse tonight, it must have been something you said' fa la la la la etc Cutting Crew No?
