discreet

Maybe he would have found it difficult to pay your fee without the collection? I doubt his profit from drinks would have covered it. It's certainly thoughtless at best and morally suspect at worst, but at least he's willing to put live acts on. It's a bit iffy I suppose, but worse things happen at sea, or something. And it's a great gig for you, otherwise. Do you really want to give it up? What about your adoring fans? Are you going to deprive them of their entertainment on a point of principle? One of those rare situations where I can see both sides of the argument.

The mix didn't bother me at all, I immediately accepted it for what it is. It's got a really good feel and that's [i]way [/i]more important than producing the life out of it. Sounds fresh and original to me.

If you mean the shallow 'V' that lines up against the bell plate, you could carefully file to shape...

LIKE. Shades of Eno and CAN...

Don't get me wrong, I'm well into tort - but there's tort and there's [i]tort[/i]...

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1460740192' post='3028392'] What a great euphemism. "Hey babe... fancy popping upstairs to hit a resonant frequency..?" [/quote] Or 'Do you fancy going upstairs to screw... in a light bulb?'

Mint. Proper tort would be good, but that's expensive. Black is a bit 'meh' with rosewood and the white is too similar to the body colour. Mint, mint, mint. Did I say 'mint'? I think I said 'mint'. Mint. A cream guard would also work. If you had one. Under no circumstances fit a pearl guard of any sort - they are illegal and I WILL report you.

Bought an amp head from Chris. Item was very well-packed in its original foam and box and came with original speaker cable, mains lead, manual and dessicant... Despatched super-quick and delivered in very good time via UPS. I was given a tracking number and an ETA. Communications were exemplary throughout and I couldn't be happier with the deal. What's not to like..? Chris is one of the good ones, a credit to himself and Basschat. I would have no hesitation in dealing with him again. Thanks, Chris.

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1460733317' post='3028316'] ...a girlfriend and I used to disappear to my room, supposedly to "listen to music", which we turned up loud believing it would cover any noise we made, the light fitting in the living room (which was directly beneath my room) would start to swing from side to side... [/quote] There's a light-bulb joke in there somewhere, but for the life of me I can't think what it is.

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1460725846' post='3028220'] Less [/quote] Er... two?

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1460725493' post='3028213'] ...alongside the substantial improvement in tone associated with the B-15 (his words not mine), guess how many dBs were in it............? [/quote] Three?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1460723560' post='3028181'] Why would you even post that? [/quote] It's funny.

I tried one briefly, but found it a bit sterile. You may want something warmer for classic rock and funk/soul. YMMV, of course.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1460713653' post='3028042'] I've mostly been drinking tea and posting crap on basschat... ...I'm more a paid captive than an employee. [/quote] Yes, there was a time when I was considered 'employable' and had a 'job' at which I 'worked'. But I digress... what's the latest with these headphones and their detachable cords?? Like BRX, I use a cheap (but good) set for public use... RHA MA350. And Sony MDR headphones for monitoring at home during those long, wild rock 'n' roll nights... on my own.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1460712428' post='3028021'] ...some of us have been at our desks since 7am [/quote] Ah, but I didn't go to bed until 04:30 this morning due to fast women and a dangerous cocktail of drink and drugs - just like a [i]real [/i]rock star! Woo-hoo, hey, rock 'n' roll, livin' the dream, and so on!! [size=2]Actually, I watched [i]Masterchef[/i] and dozed off on the sofa. Then I was woken up several times during the night by my sweaty menopausal wife. [/size][size=2]But not for any good or interesting reason. She [/size][size=2]snores like a wildebeest and steals all the quilt - or alternatively kicks it onto the floor entirely depending on whether she's hot or cold. Plus, I had to get up to pee about five times. I'm sorry to say I failed to die before I got old due to giving up smoking and drinking and taking advantage of the NHS. Not very rock 'n' roll at all, really.[/size]

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1460708558' post='3027982'] Lost yet another cord last night. I had to listen to people constantly sniffing on the train. [/quote] Initially wondered how these two statements were connected... I haven't quite woken up properly yet...

That's... expensive.

I'm sure people do. Thing is, when 'in concert' a bass with a bit of drive, grind etc. on it can actually sound very clean. A lot of songs that appear to have clean bass on them turn out to be quite hairy when you listen to them in isolation.

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1460484163' post='3026143'] If people pay via PayPal when I've said cash on collection, I refund it and ask them for cash. I lose 20p, but hey. [/quote] That's what I do. People think if they pay via PayPal you then have to send the goods. Er... no you don't. It's annoying that they obviously haven't read your listing properly, or have just plain decided to ignore it as collection isn't convenient for them. Arse! Feck!

Er... HOW much for a non-original refinished Mustang?? You can get a proper 34" scale bass for that.

[quote name='Samashton12' timestamp='1460655129' post='3027673'] I might ask Limelight to do a 58' P [/quote] I was thinking I might ask the same thing.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1460216936' post='3023752'] All I had running through my head was the theme tune to Fraggle Rock. [/quote] Ha, ha!

The B1 is a great thing and also a bargain. I prefer The B1on - without the pedal, which is a pain in the arse.
