great harry Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 I was still awake from last night. And I was at a meeting with a client at 9.30 and I've git the flu (its ok I wipe the keyboard with a fertile wipe everytime I post). I must say that I am irresistibly drawn to Antiques Roadshow. What is it about newsreaders now? I never had the same feelings for Michael Aspel or Richard Baker. Or Angela Rippon for that matter. Quote

Telebass Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Welcome, from someone who's just tipped over the magic 60 (and is, irritatingly, beginning to feel every bit of it...). It's just a number. Honest. I'm still a teenager too, really. [i]Really.[/i] Quote
great harry Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Still haven't got my bass yet. Decided to wait until I sell the boat. It's been advertised for a month but only one persons had a look yet. I might get a Fender Modern Player Telecaster Bass. It just looks so good. Still haven't decided on make or power of the amp yet. It has to be quite compact to fit in my compact cottage. Edited March 11, 2013 by great harry Quote
BassTractor Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 You wouldn't have guessed this, but the Compact is quite compact. :-) The head to go with this could be the Micro Terror. It's quite compact as well. Seriously though, whenever you want some ideas from us, just let us know something about a budget and your wishes about the gear. best, bert Quote
great harry Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Took the plunge and ordered the Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass from Dawsons together with a Rumble 30 amp. Can't wait to get hold of it and annoy...er...entertain my neighbours. It's ok I've got headphones too. Neighbour wars is the last thing I want in my mellowing years. Decided not to wait unt I sell the boat and got it on finance. Quote

BassTractor Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Congrats! Tell us how you get along with them. [i][b]Finance[/b][/i] - now there's a band name. Story of our lives! best, bert Quote
great harry Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Can't wait. I have been watching review videos and drooling over ads for too long. Quote
SpaceChick Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Sod the neighbours I keep an eye out for when mine are in or out so I know if I can crank it up or not Quote
great harry Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Should be arriving by the middle of next week. Gonna be a long few days. I will have to check when the neighbours are out. Cranking it up sounds good! Quote
great harry Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Well the strap arrived today so that's a start. It's going to be like unwrapping a very well wrapped present one layer a day. Bass and amp due to arrive tomorrow, case, lead and stand on Wednesday. Can't wait to start rumbling :-) Edited March 25, 2013 by great harry Quote
great harry Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 The bass and amp arrived yesterday. Just waiting for the all important lead so I can plug it in. Sounds great unplugged though. I have been grabbing riffs off the Internet left right and centre. Happy as a pig in sh!t :-) Quote

Do NOT plug it in when the lead arrives. Never change a winning team, y'know. Congrats! This starts to look wonderful indeed. b, b Quote
great harry Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Lead arrived and bass plugged in. Awesome! Quote
