[quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1384163703' post='2273292'] I've seen it happen to pubs we've played in. Pubco's put in terrible landlords over and over again after manufacturing a reason to kick out the previous landlady who had been running the pub successfully for many years. Pub is now looking like it could be closed any time now. [/quote] This.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1384289753' post='2274980'] No Jewish wedding takers then ? Four hours of double/cut time, two in the bar madness. Who needs standards, when you have.... Hava Nagila, Mazel Tov, Tzena Tzena Tzena, Hora dancing. [/quote] I'd [i]love[/i] to do that. Possibly not too often, it could get old after a year or two, but they're great tunes

We traded, my Retrovibe telebass prototype for his Jack. He went out of his way to deal with my travel problems, good comms, no problems whatever. I'd deal with him again without hesitating. Thanks Jeff

I bought Tony's upgraded Tanglewater. Thoroughly nice guy, thoughtful and thorough comms, went out of his way to accommodate my travel problems. I'd have absolutely no hesitation in dealing with him again. The Tanglewater is lovely, so he has good taste as well

That sounds bad - if nothing else, it's not going to do the screws any good. I've never heard of it before. Is it just on one bass?

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1383309216' post='2262922'] When I was at school any instrument that used electricity was taboo. There were no rehearsal rooms, let alone the stuff you get in schools these days. ... [/quote] This. And drums as well.

Sweet

I bought some flats from Graeme. All very smooth and with good communications. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks

BC member tommorichards had an Epi Blackbird for sale a couple of weeks back.

Sounds interesting - I'm in.

Also interested in the answer to this... so bump.

Ouch. Get well soon!

I'm old enough that it was classical-instruments-only if you wanted to do music at GCE or A-level. (I think back then I agreed, as well. What a ditz I was.)

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1383131931' post='2260507'] ... I've been looking for a cheap unlined fretless. I'm bloody tempted to go for this: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_400fl_tbk_modern_ser_b_stock.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ser_b_stock.htm[/url] But, perhaps I should hold out for something better. [/quote] I had one of those or something very similar, bought four years ago so the model might be different? Excellent for the price; the nut needed lowering and the knobs were cheap and not very straight.

What's the album called, please?

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1382960008' post='2258370'] Might be neater and easier to open up the pocket by a millimeter then reduce the neck. [/quote] I'm surprised. Is it really easier to open up the pocket than to get at the sides of the neck? How does that work, please?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1383167108' post='2261189'] I have a few irons in the fire but I'm just not feeling it lately. I'd like an upright gig but I don't feel good enough to try joining anyone decent yet. Without sounding like an arse I can play it and I'm sure there are many players gigging on elec bass at a similar standard to my upright standard but its a long way off my normal ability on elec bass if that makes sense? [/quote] Join somebody sub-decent, and drag them up with you

I bought a Westone P-pup from Alan. Nice simple transaction; all as advertised, arrived quickly and decently packaged. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. Thanks Alan
