MUNTER...and no mistake!

Yep...looks very much like my first bass...was indeed a Hondo Pro II

He's back - happy days!

Silent Bob Sir, you are a super star! Pm'd

Cheers fella, might Maplins be worth a shout?

So I bought a SoundLab power supply that can run 6 pedals. Works fine with my Boss units but my US Bass Balls has a much smaller power input socket. I'm told there is an adapter (male/female) that fits the end of the soundlab power lead and has the correct smaller pin on the other. Any one solved this one before? Cheers, LC

The Reserves are Gary, Paul and Gareth, guitar bass and drums and we're all in our 40's. We have a gig ready set including: Black Crowes, Jet, REM, Kinks, Cream, Free, CCR, Steppenwolf, Sabbath, Purple, Oasis, Stereo's and much more. Unfortunately our singer has just dropped out due to personal reasons so were looking for someone new to come and join us. We're a relaxed bunch and it's all about the music for us, not personalities. Give Gary (Bass) a bell on 07854 792843 if interested.

I've got a Vintage 430. Cost about £190 new and it's great for home noodling, good neck, not that loud un-plugged and I fitted a front strap button coz it doesn't come with one. Good VFM. LC

Looks like a brilliant space Dave. Just thinking about some tosser breaking in and making off with all your gear!

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' timestamp='1262623551' post='700621'] I had a pretty poor experience in Music Room in Lincoln last week. First bass I played was a MIM Precision with a visibly high action, but I kinda had to play it just to verify if it was as unplayable as it looked. I expressed my concerns to the assistant, who tried to upsell me by using the old "you can't get a low action with those, try this MIA over here" trick. Second bass I tried was a Vigier Excess which didn't really do the price tag justice, IMO. The thing is, I'd already expressed an interest in the Vigier before I picked up the Precision, so I think that the salesman was trying to steer me away from the £425 Fender and towards the £1400 Vigier, to make sure that I didn't walk out of the shop with the cheaper item. Well, he certainly ensured that. S.P. [/quote] £1400 for the Vigier is cheap! I have a custom Excess and I love it

Big thanks to the 'two Debs' for coming to our first gig! It's great that fellow BC'ers come out and support each other like this! We had a great time on Sat night airing our set for the first time. I even sold my fretless to SpaceChick during the interval - I wonder if that is a first too? Our drummer (Paul) had the heebeegeebees for two days prior, but 'manned up' in style and really enjoyed himself! He hasn't stopped talking about it since! BTW, we hired the Green Rooms for the night (link above in this thread) for £75 and invited all our friends and family. The £75 includes bar staff, sound engineer - full sound check and lighting rig!. They couldn't do enough for us to make it a successful night - thanks Owen and Vicky! Onwards and upwards! LC
