Oh, I so wish you hadn't put this up (Looks around for the phone number of a kidney surgeon)

Looking at Jon Shukers website, he can do a bolt on standard from £725. It might be worth dropping him a line.

I've used Parcel Monkey twice with no problems at all.

What you've got to remember about them is they are not actually a courier company. They farm out the orders to other companies; so, when you've put your order to them, you deal direct with the company they've given the job to.

Just thought you might get more action in the For Sale Forum is all

Wrong forum mate

[quote name='silddx' post='795152' date='Apr 3 2010, 05:44 PM']Here's a go at Tempus Fugit by Yes. A few mistakes here and there. I recorded it yesterday while waiting for mrs silddx to get ready before going to the Fat Duck with some friends, more of which later ..

Right Nige, that's done it. I'm off to find me a bonfire.

Brilliant mate.

I'll say it again Rockbox in Northallerton.

I'm now in Lincolnshire but I'll always consider travelling back up there if there's something I need. The guys in there are just superb. They don't have a massive bass stock but what you see in the place is only about a third of what he actually has, you just have to ask.

Not really. I started out with the Laney Richter stuff and as hard as I tried, I couldn't get a decent noise out of it. (It may have been me of course )

[quote name='Merton' post='793244' date='Apr 1 2010, 01:07 PM']Time for a Mert update I guess:

Oh stop showing off Mert I can't wait for my cab to get here.

You could also try these guys [url="http://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk/"]http://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk/[/url]

Welcome neighbour

I have a brass nut fitted in my Shuker and I couldn't really say that it sustains more or less than any of my other basses. Certainly, it doesn't ring any longer than my Stingray.

I guess I must be cheating as I drive an Espace. I can get pretty much most of my 5 piece bands gear in the back (that includes my two 4x10s and two 18" PA cabs). The drummer has to take his own gear though.

Edit: Can't wait to get my Vintage, it'll go some way to saving the suspension

Ahh, another Eggle fan. See? I'm not alone.

Frankfurt? I don't suppose you met my friend Iain? He owns the music shop in Northallerton.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='783737' date='Mar 23 2010, 05:48 PM']Would be good to see you two there, pete![/quote]

Why, thank you kind sir.

We'll make every effort to get there and if my Barefaced Vintage is done by then I'll bring it along.

Another OBBM fan here

I've not tried the Cornish leads but the price puts me off. If you go with OBBM you know you're going to get quality at a good price. (and superb service too)

Colour me and her interested

These guys are brilliant. I have a cover by them, check them out.

P.S There are stickies all over the site, have a look. There's loads of good info in them.

Also, a quick Google will bring up some good stuff too.

What bass do you use? Do you have long finger nails? I play with a pick and had a similar problem with a P bass when I turned the treble up.

Oh yes indeedy

I had the HT fuse blow in a valve guitar amp of mine, it turned out to be one of the power valves had gone.

Which pickups are in it?

I have a BTB 550 which has the poxy Bartollini Mk1 pickups. Compared to the 555 I used to have, which was fitted with Ibanez's own, the output is really low.

Brilliant!, Thanks for posting that.
