    [quote name='3V17C' post='46368' date='Aug 16 2007, 12:36 PM']the basses and related bits n bobs were mine and mine alone. (ok, so occasionally i might have told her something cost less than it actually did - anything for a quiet life).[/quote] I hear you!! [quote name='3V17C' post='46368' date='Aug 16 2007, 12:36 PM']basically I was playing bass/hoarding equipment long before I met her so she had to get used to the fact that it was all part of the package......[/quote] Exactly. Full disclosure..... My wife entered the relationship knowing the situation and she knows better than to try and 'change' me....

    [quote name='The Burpster' post='46365' date='Aug 16 2007, 12:32 PM']We may not agree with how the other deals with financial decsions but unless it effects both of us we are free to do as we please with our OWN money and possesions. Any realationship should be based on openess and honesty...... We both have GAS but for different things....... I guess that isnt typical then....?[/quote] That sounds very familiar to me..... I'm completely with you.... Some great posts so far on this thread..... keep them coming!

    I had that happen once.... except it was on the night. The landlord had changed and the new one had not honoured the old bookings. As a band we all turned up together on the night, loaded our gear in and when the landlord told us we weren't playing we refused to leave until we were all paid our travel/petrol expenses. The landlord threatened to call the police if we didn't leave.... so we invited him to do so. After a couple of minutes of umm-ing and ah-ing he decided it wasn't worth the hassle & gave us £60, so we loaded up the van and went for a beer 'on him' next door at his 'competitor' pub'!!

    I've noticed a lot of posts with phrases such as "My wife told me I have to sell it", "She said I can't have this one till I sell that one", "I'm not allowed to buy it" etc etc Now, I don't mean to start a problem thread..... or to attack anyone..... and I don't mean to cause offence.....but I'm genuinely interested in how this can be? Does everyone just 'do as they're told'? Do you let your partner control your finances or is it 'anything for a quiet life'....?!? Speaking personally, I am married..... but I don't answer to anyone but myself. Never have/never will. After making sure all bills etc are paid my earnings (plus gig money) are mine and mine alone to spend how I want to.... and the same applies to my lady wife. Again, I mean NO offence with this post! What are others thoughts?

    [quote name='G-bitch' post='45715' date='Aug 15 2007, 12:22 PM']If you get a used sansamp (about £100), you'll be wetting yourself with laughter when there is little discernable difference between your peavey rig and the other guys £1k plus Ampeg set-up. Your DI will probably sound better too.[/quote] +1 for that! Simply use a Sansamp BDDI for the tone..... and the power stage of the Peavey amp for the power and reliability. Win/Win situation...

Are you heading to the bash on Saturday?[/quote] Unfortunately I probably can't make it...... and not sure I could choose what to bring if I did?!? Where are you based then? Gary

    Time to move another bass on..... I only picked this up recently and literally haven't touched it since purchase....but as something more important has come up it's pretty much last in/first out.... Here we have an early 90's thru-neck Jackson 'Kip Winger' bass from the 'Professional' range, with active Reflex (EMG clone) pickups. These basses are incredibly well made, very comfortable to play and hardly any different from the full USA models. The bass is made of beautiful honey- coloured Australian Lacewood, which is lightweight but rich & full sounding.... and the rosewood-fingerboard neck is fast and relatively slim. So, If you're looking for a lightweight, supercharged PJ bass then this is the one for you. I'm not looking to make a profit, just to get what I paid back.... Will consider a trade for a white Alder bodied Fender P bass (Japan or USA) with Rosewood board. To be picked up from London/Surrey border (Epsom/Tolworth area) or Central London. I can also ship at buyers expense and by courier or buyers choice.

    As one of my regular gigs is performing as 'Gene Simmons' in Europe's #1 KISS tribute band I have er.... had my [i]fair share[/i] of 'fun' shall we say.... I'm not sure whether it's the 7" monster-head stack heels, the lycra, the studded leather or the make-up that does it... Actually, that's crap.... I know EXACTLY what works.... it's the 'tongue' Playing 'Gene' is the coolest gig..... you get to 'officially' letch as lewdly and blatantly as you like at the ladies of your choice and demonstrate what you'd like to do to them with your tongue..... because "that's what Gene does"!! It's all in the spirit of authenticity don't you know..... The 'encores' can then continue back at the hotel.... though in our case that's normally a Travelodge or B&B... So, is it me they want to be with.... or is it 'Gene'..... or is it just the 'tongue' that they're interested in?! Who knows..... but in all honesty who cares?

    Er...... a *[i]bloke down the road[/i]* just received a wonderful bass from a friendly seller in Japan and *[i]apparently[/i]* it got through with NO duty/VAT/Handling charges whatsoever!!! No idea how..... but *[i]supposedly[/i]* it makes up for the few times he's had to pay it recently....

    Someone help this guy out.... It's a great amp..... and VERY versatile. For those with endless spare income this would also make a great 'spare/support' amp....

    [quote name='ped' post='40982' date='Aug 3 2007, 04:34 PM']Oh wow, very nice. I had a 1516BE cabinet and it was amazing. I notice you have one too![/quote] Yep, and a 2x15! Time to streamline a little methinks..... shame to part with it though....

    OK, time to slim down some of my backline choice. I have some other potential purchases coming up & could do with the dosh so sadly I've decided to move this on. Here we have an amazing Mesa/Boogie Diesel 600W cab (4ohms) with 6x10" EV speakers, a tweeter and two ports in the rear. Now, as I'm sure you know.... 'EV' loaded Mesa cabs like this (which are no longer made) are widely considered to be the best bass cabs that they EVER made... This cab nails ANY style. The 10's with tweeter are super fast for slap/funk but the sheer density of the cab & the combination of 10's with the ports can also shake your foundations with solid rocking low end loveliness. The whole tonal palette is covered and volume is NOT a problem The cab is in excellent condition, just a few small rips in the outer covering, and is on wheels for easy movement. It IS heavy but it makes up for it's weight in pure tonal quality. Pick up is preferred/recommended from London/Surrey border (near Epsom/Tolworth).
