WalMan

Welcome (back) Fancy a gig swap Just don't let me near a surfboard it put me out of action for 6 weeks with a smashed shoulder last time I did

[quote name='Cliff Burton' post='110404' date='Dec 29 2007, 12:30 AM']Thanks for the reply's guys, makes me feel all warm inside Where are all you west sussex guys from? Alex[/quote] Welcome. Silverfoxnik & I are just down the road in Littlehampton

Greetings from Sussex (and Guildford during the week) What do we get up to? Generally it would seem assuaging GAS but mostly a friendly crew. You never know there might even be another [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=63&hl=se%20bash&st=260"]SE Bash[/url] the last one in Guildford was a hoot

Thanks for the info. I really should read up more on this as we are running 2 guitar, 1 mic and 2 in ear wireless systems nowadays. When I got my first Nady kit ages ago I seem to recall I did actually get a licence for the first year (it was so long ago perhaps I only thought about it ) Having never had problems in all the years of using wireless - including playing next door to a police station and expecting, but not getting, someone coming in to say "will you stop bleeding over our airwaves!!") - I have never bothered since (though I know I possibly should. I seem to recall reading in the MU mag that there could be trouble brewing with the "free" bands being auctioned off?

Not tabs, but [url="http://www.songza.com/"]SONGZA[/url].com is quite a good place to go to find versions of songs. You could also download a copy of the free HI-Q recorder from [url="http://www.roemersoftware.com/"]HERE[/url] which will record whatever is going through your sound card as an MP3. The bitrate is not great on the free version, but for something to jam along to may be worth a look.

[quote name='skywalker' post='109642' date='Dec 26 2007, 09:02 PM']Hi WOT This is part of my job, I will check in the morning the correct procedure and let you know the full details. It is called outward processing, and you will need to give the carrier (DHL, UPS or whoever) full details of the process being undertaken. You are correct in saying you only pay duty and tax on the repair value. I will confirm the forms to be completed (they should be downloadable form the HMRC website). Steve[/quote] The forms (many, various, lengthy and by & large impenetrable) are [url="http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageImport_Forms"]HERE[/url] but Steve can clearly help you far better than I - that's why I point such queries at the VAT/Duties guy in the office rather than rely on my studies in the dim distant past

This probably belongs in the Guilty Pleasures thread, but I have always loved the way the bass line moves along in ....... oh I can't say it ...... Wham - Wake me up before you go go Works for me every time as brings on a distinct possibility of air bass And then there's all those lovely Pino lines in the Paul Young albums

I think my answer to 1 would be yes, but only with a VERY heavy emphasis on [i]some [/i]as most seem friendly & helpful - and I get here most days. As has already been shown a well placed helps a great deal even if you don't like to use them. At the end of the day if you don't like a thread then ignore it and let it die on the vine, don't bump it taking a trolls bait.

VAT & duties are not my area but looking at VAT notices on the HMRC Practitioner Zone you need to get authourisation on the way out not to get charged on the way back in. Look from 3 onwards [url="http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageImport_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000225&propertyType=document#P20_925"]HERE[/url]

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='108593' date='Dec 23 2007, 04:15 PM'] Hi Al, You free on the 27th for a swift half to clear away the Xmas lethargy and all that...? Nik[/quote] I reckon that's doable give me a time & venue - or just same as before?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='108394' date='Dec 23 2007, 02:05 AM']That is so cool! It reminds me a bit of my Wal... I must admit to having always wanted a Shergold but never got around to it but I may have to change that now [/quote] I used to have a couple of Shergolds & the fitted flight case I had made for it fitted my Wal perfectly!!!

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='107962' date='Dec 22 2007, 12:49 AM']Cheers OBBM.. Was completely stitched up by Stingrayfan of course (Hi Matt ) ; I believe the magazine needed someone to help broaden it's appeal to the older, more miserable looking reader.. Haven't seen it yet but will lounge around the newsagent tomorrow trying to look cool, waiting desperately for someone to buy the magazine. Which in Littlehampton, could be a long wait!![/quote] You could always have a look at my subscription copy when we have that pint Nik. I shall be ready to prostrate myself in full Waynes World "We're not worthy" mode

+1 to all of the above, especially the splitter lead which I have had great fun with recording

That'll be Worthing Assembly Rooms for the Live Aid gig. Like I said before I just wish the video bus had worked so that I could relive it on screen not just memories, but hey memories will do me. Brilliant night at a time when we were doing all original stuff (and it didn't matter) & with a set that night that we had worked up really tight for changes with some leeway for audience participation that ended bang on the end of allotted time.

Hi & welcome from one of two members here in LA - sadly that means Lil' Ampton & not LA so rather than But we call it home That was one helluva "Sodit I'm changing my life!" move you made there. Good on you Al

+1 to that I bought a cover for my Markbass CMD121H from them over ebay. It arrived in about half the quoted time (though I presume as a fairly standard cover they may carry a stock) Not as padded as the old Tuff cover I had for the Trace 122H, but I got that nearly 10 years ago and they seem to have gone out of business now. Otherwise the Roqsolid cover does the trick and is certainly a lot stronger than the lightweight manufacturers covers you sometimes get that fall apart in no time flat

My Wal will never go. I've had it years. I can't say it was my first good bass because there were a few ok ones before it, but it has been with me through thick & thin, it sounds marvellous, and I love it!! I know I surprised Nik by saying the Wal was semi retired, but that's new toys for you. For some reason I am less worried about harm coming to the SUB5, which is NOT to say that the Wal will be wrapped in cotton wool and put away as a collectors item!!

[quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='105391' date='Dec 17 2007, 04:01 PM']Cheers guys. Looks like it may as well be Brighton then![/quote] I know a guy who works (or certainly worked) with Bernie. He's a bass player & I don't think he's on here yet, so I shall SMS him & suggest he/they have a look

[quote name='The Funk' post='105462' date='Dec 17 2007, 05:57 PM']I have 5, so 611[/quote] +2 = 613

I wish I'd seen this 20 years ago

What he said although beware photos. Also look at what else the seller may have for sale and compare backgrounds in the pictures There seem to have been a spate of items where pictures & even text have been lifted directly from Gumtree, so if you hit two or three of the above a quick search of Gumtree doesn't hurt. There was a guy who got flagged up here a couple of months back who was a very new eBay registrant with negligible feedback, but who was auctioning a lot of high value guitars & basses. A quick search of Gumtree London in that case found nearly all of the items there as well but clearly being offered by many different sellers dotted all over London

Until recently mine was 1 x Wal in Wal semi flight 1 x 6u rack with BOD Pro xt, IEM transmitter & 2 Behringer effects racks 1 x small metal case for the rest of the radio bits (transmitters & receivers) plus leads, batteries, throat lozenges 1 x metal toolbox for screwdrivers, soldering iron, and the floor tuner my guitarist uses (and actually offered to buy off me a couple of weeks back so that I am no longer his tuner roadie ) 2 x small light boxes - because no one wants to play under a 40w bulb, but none of the others are willing to store / transport them (lazy bustids ) 1 x A frame guitar stand but after my recent GAS the Wal has been semi retired and the MM SUB5 tends to come out to play together with 1 x Markbass CMD121H I still seem to be last out of gigs despite that fairly small list, but that is probably because 9/10 times my gear is stuffed at the back so I have to get it in early on set-up and cannot get to it straight away after until keyboards set up in front of it have been moved. That and the fact that none of the rest of the band seem able to write so I have to deal with the venue for cash etc
