    'Desert' just means 'deserted' or 'dry'. It doesn't mean it's tropical. Antarctica is the world's biggest desert.

    [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1432550155' post='2782489'] The ship starts to sink and it's every man for himself. So I cling to the bass and paddle it to shore like a surf board. [/quote] Hmm, OK - but I intend to use my bass and paddle Drew Barrymore to shore like a surf board. Assuming she was on the ship in the first place, of course. *Thinks* Hmm... so all I have to do now is get a job in a cruise band on a ship with Drew Barrymore on the passenger list, then somehow contrive to make the ship sink close to a desert island... I'll do it! What could possibly go wrong??

    [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1432546132' post='2782416'] I'm assuming there would be solar powered amp already on the island. [/quote] I'm assuming there wouldn't be. This is basically a 'what's your favourite bass' thread, isn't it? If you were really stranded on a desert island with a bass (how??) I don't think practicing your scales would be a priority. In fact you'd probably have to burn your bass on a signal fire. Am I not taking this in the spirit in which it was intended??

    [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1432542588' post='2782358'] Being woken at 9am this morning by my arsehole of a neighbour mowing his lawn has not helped me back into the happy camp yet. Tw@! [/quote] I don't think that's unreasonable. You should have been up at 0730 to clean the house and make your partner's breakfast. Just like the current mrs discreet did this morning...

    [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1432532658' post='2782290'] Does she play drums then ? [/quote] I bet she's pretty good on the bongos.

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1432321093' post='2780541'] Thundering around on all the elements would certainly deter more, I would think. [/quote] [quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1432319652' post='2780512'] he'd a got the job if it was my band [/quote] +1 - Our drummer is very good indeed, but he will do a frigging fill at EVERY opportunity and is always working at making the drums more flowery and impressive, i.e. little triplets on the hats, that sort of thing - while the rest of the band are intent on stripping everything down as far as possible for more impact. He's not playing for the song - he's playing for any drummers in the audience. Twat.

    Can I take Drew Barrymore instead?

    [quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1432461265' post='2781589'] WTF happened under the bridge?? [/quote] I see he also has a Growler for sale.

    [quote name='geoham' timestamp='1432490765' post='2781995'] It's being delivered on Tuesday... [/quote] That's no excuse for not posting pics of it! Mm, vintage cream and maple - liking it a lot. Just had a look at the spec... Bartolinis, Hipshot Ultralites... a lot of bass for the money.

    Nice score. I've had Lakland GAS for ages, but have resisted so far! Of course without pics this is just rumour and hearsay, so...

    I used one of these for a while, and paired with the preamp of your choice and run in bridged mode, it offers a vast, unlimited vista of headroom and immense power. This is NO MONEY for a very reliable and very portable amp that will never run out of steam under ANY circumstances. Someone please buy it!

    [quote name='Oldman' timestamp='1432466478' post='2781675'] Schroeder 18PL and two Schroeder Mini 8+L [/quote] That's a LOT of Schroederage! I never need more than my 21012L so can't imagine what this must be like!

    [b]*SOLD* Empress Compressor £110 + Postage[/b] Up for grabs is one of the very finest compressors you can buy for guitar or bass: [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/empress.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.c...s/empress.shtml[/url] After searching for a long time I found this and bought it from this very parish only recently - but something rare and unique has come up that I need instant funds for, so regrettably it has to go straight back out again. [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#282828]Features ultra-quiet studio-quality operation, no loss of lows or highs, true bypass, parallel compression, selectable dual metering and side chain insert. [/color][color=#282828]Standard Boss-type centre-negative 9V power requirement. Unit regulates voltage internally to 16V for extra headroom. 4.5 X 3.5 X 2 inches (including height of controls). As-new, unmarked condition with original box, all literature and foam box insert. Item will be very well packed. Thomann are selling them for £198. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/empress_effects_compressor.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._compressor.htm[/url][/color][/font][/size] I'm after just [b]£110[/b] for the compressor plus £12 (£122 total) despatched via Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day before 1pm. Payment will be via bank transfer only, please. I will PM the buyer with an ETA and tracking information. My feedback is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/256134-discreet/"]here[/url]. I thank you!

    It's a lefty so I'll never have to play it? That's the only advantage I can think of.

    [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1432467524' post='2781688'] I searched in vain for a barf emoticon... [/quote] This one's more in keeping with the style of the forum emoticons. You can borrow it, but I'll need it back for Off Topic later on.

    [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1432464142' post='2781635'] I wouldn't change the basses I have, but I am still on the lookout for a really good modern Jazz type. 4 string, probably passive. I'm hoping the new Sandbergs will be the answer when they arrive. At that point I just might be a 5. For at least a couple of hours. [/quote] You should seriously consider a Sire Marcus Miller V7 - when they're back in stock.

    [quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1432463764' post='2781631'] Pics or it didn't happen �� [/quote] You have a very short memory, then! Just in case anyone [i]really [/i]hasn't seen them...

    [quote name='simonlittle' timestamp='1432426442' post='2781427'] I can't believe anyone would really be a five forever... [/quote] I am as far as one bass is concerned... it was sold and recovered, so I've learnt my lesson. I really must take the time to post a few pics of it one day...

    It's made me feel a little bit sick.

    [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1432418681' post='2781374'] Discreet - now you're talking! What is it? [/quote] It's a Streamline. [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html"]http://www.status-gr...index_home.html[/url] You need to select it from the navigation on the left, I can't link to it directly - crap web design.

    Edit: Probably not cheap, I'm thinking.
