Born 2B Mild Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 (in hushed tones) It's my day off. I am about to achieve a quest. A delivery is due any moment. I've lusted for one of these, and posted on Basschat to see if anyone has one I can try (to no avail). They don't come up for sale in the UK very often. I can't afford it, but an ancient eBay search popped up and I had to act. I have a notice sellotaped on the front door "I'm in, so knock hard", I daren't go to the loo, no music playing, porch door open to aid hearing knock at the door. Quote

Despite all your precautions you'll probably wait til 5.30pm before finding a failed delivery note tucked into your gatepost Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Hang on, UPS have just pulled up outside... Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 I can't believe I've not opened it yet, whilst choosing to post this snap instead. Give me 5 mins, and al will be revealed. I hope I'm not going to be disappointed. Quote
erisu Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Looks like you got good weather up there in your papparazi picture of the UPS man Raining meatballs here argh! (wouldn't mind if it was really raining meatballs tho!) *twiddles thumbs* Tell us what bass you have Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Sorry, this is taking longer than I thought. If I ever buy shares, I'm going to look up whoever makes Gaffa. Quote
GreeneKing Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 This is a great thread, I've got one incoming this week too, from Finland Breath still bated. Peter Quote
gary mac Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 come on come on..............this isn't fair, I can't handle all this tension on a monday morning Quote
Gust0o Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I like this - some suspense whilst I try and scoff lunch at my desk! Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 I was trying to keep the box for another day, so it took ages to open. Inside it was a hard case. Inside that was a wrapped up mummy. Once the wrappings were removed, I found this ... (waits to quickly upload a photo0 Quote
GreeneKing Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I think that sharing these 'special moments' is a great idea, it may help with GAS too (or make it worse). Quote
Gust0o Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 For those seeking to kill some of the suspense, the manufacturer of Gaffer Tape would appear to be Le Mark Self-Adhesive Ltd - a member of the Le Mark group. No sodding idea on their market status. Quote

Gust0o Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Ooh, Modulus! How long has this been saught after? Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Tuned up, plugged in, EMG's sounding nice, but pots need a clean. On the age front, I'm a bit confused. Modulus say: [i]The first two digits of all Modulus serial numbers indicate the year the instrument was manufactured. For example, a bass with serial # 930111 was built in 1993, and a bass with serial # 020343 was built in 2002. Modulus began using serial numbers in 1990, so all basses before that time bear only the Modulus patent number.[/i] My serial starts with an 87 ...so is it an 87? Edited October 5, 2009 by Born 2B Mild Quote
GreeneKing Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 It's time to give Modulus a shout methinks Quote
