discreet

This I like a lot!

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1427200409' post='2726975'] ...a nice cab of your own that's small and light enough to take to the gigs and robust enough to handle your needs! [/quote] Good idea Alex - do you have any suggestions as to where one could purchase such a cab?

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1427199692' post='2726962'] hmmm... my number one strategy for not killing my cabs is never letting anyone else use them! [/quote] Plus about a billion... otherwise just make sure you keep an eye (ear?) on the volume and if funny noises happen, stop!

[quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1427197143' post='2726931'] Thanx guys Its pink relic though lol [/quote] The pink 60s Jazz? Excellent choice.

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1427195000' post='2726898'] You can do everything on a 5 that you can do on a 4, so you don't need the 4's. [/quote] I can't, but that's just me I think.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1427191117' post='2726831'] ...whenever I pick up a bass with rounds on, I start wondering whether to try ground-wounds... so for that I'd need fours and fives in standard and band tuning, bringing the total to [b]sixteen[/b]. [/quote] [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1427194736' post='2726893'] What do you NEED? Whatever you use for your current musical project(s), and if that involves playing live an identical spare for each one. [/quote] So ras52 will in fact need [b]thirty-two[/b] basses.

[quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1427194352' post='2726888'] Is there much love for these? I might have one incoming Looks really cool How popular is the relic look? Thanx guys [/quote] Yes. Good, you made the right choice. Agree. Very popular. You're welcome.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1427191952' post='2726856'] I don't know what you're talking about, one of them says fretless, and it always did :-D [/quote] Oh yes, now that I look again I see that I must have been mistaken!

As far as *need* goes, the answer is zero. And you've listed fretted with flats twice, any particular reason?

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1427190052' post='2726810'] ...I couldn't see anything offensive in his remarks. Ok, a bit ott in his stance, but not offensive or even belligerent. Was he banned purely for sending abusive personal messages? [/quote] That's what I thought. Ignoring his views on R*ck*nb*ck*r (which he is entitled to), he wasn't insulting or particularly rude in any way. I'm guessing it's the PM thing and/or the fact that he may have been banned previously for whatever reason and then returned under a different name..?

'...I am starting the bidding low.' Must be a new definition of 'low' that I wasn't aware of.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1427184191' post='2726731'] Better known as Sting. [/quote] Stop confusing the issue!

[quote name='2 left thumbs' timestamp='1427162726' post='2726679'] ...the picture in his first post was bugging me, went back and looked again ...i knew it wasn't peter hook, whale oil beef hooked! It's a right handed paul mccartney...[/quote] No - it's Bernard Sumner.

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1426093568' post='2714325'] ...there's something about Shoreline Gold that is just magical. [/quote] You're right... it resonates with something from my youth... what could it be??

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1427138227' post='2726334'] Why so long between detection and banning? [/quote] Entertainment?

Is this still for sale?

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1427117158' post='2725896'] Rabbit poo the next morning. Or is that only me? Guinness has the same results. [/quote] That's only you. I get huge fudge-bombs with Guinness. Can't drink it anymore - too much fudge.

[quote name='sifi2112' timestamp='1427013976' post='2724589'] I do like the look of one (or two) of those cabs. [/quote] [quote name='Huge Hands' timestamp='1427107609' post='2725736'] ...one is normally more than enough! [/quote] Was going to say that one cab would probably suffice in most situations...

[quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1427106680' post='2725722'] Is it just me or are the pictures not loading? [/quote] I noticed that, too... obviously it didn't happen.

Interesting point about rehearsing in a circle. Anyone find it difficult to subsequently play in a line at a gig? Anyone rehearse in a line, or as you would at a gig? Our rooms have one wall as a mirror... I find this a mixed blessing.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1427065287' post='2725463'] Dairylea and Primula could really have their own forum sections. [/quote] Depends whether Rickenbacker becomes more popular than cheeses.

Definitely PRIMM-YOO-LA. Tip: Makes you look years younger if you spread it on your face and sleep in the airing cupboard.

It makes little difference in my opinion. I prefer to have the option of through-bridge because through-body isn't kind to flatwounds. Having said that, the original strings on the first 51 P basses (through body) were flats - rounds appeared later - and apparently some flats are more suitable than others for through-body, so your mileage may vary...
