  3. Rehearse without mikes... Make the singer compete for volume. Edit: I learned this from a guitarist. Credit where credit is due
  4. Mo Tucker Chris Frantz Topper Headon what a fanboy
  5. Depends if I can overcome my embarrassment at my rotten playing and worse memory. But, tentatively, yes.
  6. Vester Clipper-II, five-string, red, active but with passive option?
  7. [quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1387533084' post='2312945'] Mine started as backup and now has become my main bass, I changed the pickup and the electronics and now is a monster. [/quote] Interesting - what did you swap in, if I may ask?
  8. The stompbox arrived, quick simple transaction with all as advertised. Band practice tomorrow, we'll see what the ex-drummer can do with it... Thanks Steve, I'm a happy buyer
  9. well now, that's a startling beast! GLWTS
  10. [quote name='briansbrew' timestamp='1387318626' post='2310754'] Hi mate, Any chance you could deliver as I am very interested. [/quote] I doubt he'll deliver, but he might post...
  11. These are excellent for the cost, I gave mine to our drummer for his 18th
  12. I sold Steve my Kala Ubass; as previously, it was a pleasure. This is the second time we've dealt, there's another in the works, and it wouldn't surprise me if there are more to come
  13. A few people laugh when you show up with one. Then you plug it in, and they go

    Greetings

    Very few of us would claim we haven't anything to learn Welcome aboard. But I recommend you stay out of the For Sale section, especially since you seem to have priors
  15. [quote name='rallyeluke' timestamp='1386964551' post='2307025'] It was me who won it Chuffed to bits in all honesty as I have been on the hunt for a fretless for the last few weeks [/quote] Nice one
  16. [quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1386939323' post='2306603'] (I also tip my hat to the Hawkwind fans who've piped up. Anything up to and including [i]Warriors at the Edge of Time[/i] is a fine choice in my book!) [/quote] I'm for [i]Hall Of The Mountain Grill[/i]. But I never thought Hawkwind were heavy rock, really. Still don't.
  17. Si and I sorted out a deal for my BBN5 and some other stuff. It's a pleasure to deal with him, as before, and I'm sure I'll do so again..
  18. [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1386793127' post='2304728'] A couple of years ago, me and a few pals were in Poole getting drunk. We stumbled into a. Pub covers band. 'Breaking the law' I yelled. 'Who said that?' Yells mr.vox- 'you got it!' . This was followed by rock you like a hurricane/lights out/ mr.crowley etc. Awesome. We chatted for ages afterwards. band were called permanent vacation. Speaking of cheese, primus anybody ? [/quote] 'Breaking The Law' is in their usual set
  19. [quote name='clashcityrocker' timestamp='1386698491' post='2303262'] Brilliant thanks for the reply. Do I drill it out much bigger than the existing holes? I guess the size of the dowel available Cheers Edited just saw the above post,thanks [/quote] When you buy dowels, buy a drill bit to match the dowel diameter. In my experience, the dowels should be a close fit; close enough that they won't fall out if you put them in "dry" (without glue) and shake the neck. When you glue them in, allow enough time for the glue to set. Do not be tempted to work on them until they are properly set.
  20. I've got a rather battered metallic pink Foundation (to go with me loverly bunch of coconuts...). I like it
