[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1356371914' post='1909674'] Awesome....pics of the kid-paint please . My Grey Stache is a kid-paint. I was jealous of you, so I ordered a custom paint Oh See Demon yesterday lol Si [/quote] Happy to oblige - A bright orange stickman with white bits! Pics of yours when you get it pease.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1356097946' post='1906790'] That's so cool, wish I had a secret Fuzzrocious for christmas Si [/quote] Happy happy joy joy!! I got given the package earlier. Inside was a Kid-paint Rat King. Have brought it home and had a quick play though my Pod and 'phones. The range of tones is huge!! The option of having two different levels of distortion is great (most of the time I'm either clean or a bit of grit but a couple of our songs require a full on creamy distortion). Plus, if nothing else, the feedback loop will be great for drowning out the guitarist when he goes on a between songs widdle-fest

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1353604837' post='1876540'] Haha, let me know if you order one Ryan and family are great to deal with! Si [/quote] I've had a suspicion that someone might have got me one for Christmas. I've just seen a parcel from the US be delivered

I don't think they are. And it was a few weeks ago I was that end of town - might be best to ring them first - 01892 511 611

Where in kent are you? Abbey music in Tunbridge Wells had a Laney head with 2X10 and 1X15 cab for about that figure a few weeks back. They might still have it.

New Order was the first that came to mind for me

ARRRRGH!!!! Gas attack! I had to go and look at the Fuzzrocious page. I'm more of an od/distortion rather than fuzz kinda guy. For two years I've been pretty happy with my Bass Blogger, but now I've stumbled across the Rat Tail. Lovely, just what I want. Except I then looked at (and listened to) the King Rat. I don't need all the extra features, but I've got to have one.

But which is best for metal? Dowel, skewer or cocktail-stick?

From the top, with year acquired and what happened to it - Satellite extra-short-scale bass (1981) Destroyed in 1982 Hondo II SG/SD Curlee? copy (1982) Sold in 1988 '76 Fender Precision (1982) I'd had it on a permanent loan from a guitarist friend - returned some time mid-late 80s '78 Fender Precision (1988) Sold in 1992 No-name fretless Jazz (1990) Given to friend in 1990 '92 Fender USA Jazz (1992) Sold in 1996 '96 Fender MIM Precision (1996) Sold in 1998 when I gave up bass for a decade '06 Warwick Corvette Standard passive (2006) Sold 2011 Squier Affinity Precision (2010) Another permanent loaner - returned 2011 '84 Ibanez RB950 (2011) Still got this one. Keeping it until its value exceeds its utility. Epiphone T-Bird Pro (2012) Still got his one too. Great fun, but I can see it going when I have the funds for a higher quality instrument. 11 In total, 2 of which I was the keeper rather than the owner.

I love my EHX Bass Blogger for distortion. But it's not that small a foot-print.

Look on the bright side - my GAS is for the 4004. Simpler, plainer bass for £500 extra!!

Last year I picked up an RB-950. Awesome instrument.

And I'm soooooooooo excited about this one

Another one with a Nickel alergy here. I find Eliltes do good SS rounds that are a lot more gentle on the fingertips than Rotos.

Back in our own neck of thw woods at Tunbridge Wells Forum. This time supporting UK Subs

As soon as you realise you'll never be any good at the guitar. That's when you become a bass player And just in case you missed it

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1350854372' post='1844407'] The code on the Fender site is 025 so still Japan by the looks of it. I thinik 025 & 027 are the main two Fender Japan codes. The Marcus MIller and Geddy Lee models have already been changed to 014 for Mexico [/quote] I never knew that! Thanks both for the confirmation.

Anyone know if these are still coming from Japan or have they moved them to Mexico?

After nearly twenty years of being in covers bands (with an 8 year break because I got fed up with playing tunes I despise) I've now been in an originals band for 3 1/2 years. Enjoying myself much more. We do have a handful of "spun-up" covers (tunes that are done in a completely different style to the original- so that's alright then ) and one or two straightforward covers for soundchecks and auditioning drummers (which seems to happen once or twice a year).

Nice one Ade!

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1349161746' post='1822443'] Dave Hall does the same for about a third of the price [url="http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page37.html"]http://www.davehalla....uk/page37.html[/url] [/quote] But by the time you add on the cost of his comp (which the Alexbass includes) it's not far off.

Hi Chris, As you're in Kent, Aylesford Couriers may be worth a try - 01622 790637. Local courriers who can (and do) work nationally.
