  1. [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1371408017' post='2113514'] Pinned in each Marketplace forum is a notice regarding locked threads. It makes perfectly clear that if anyone has an old advert that is still valid, all it takes is a PM and it'll be unlocked. If I'm sat at my PC when the request arrives then it gets actioned within a minute - and that includes writing a PM back to the person to let them know it's been done. We really couldn't have made it any easier. [/quote] Ian did exactly this for my flightcase ad, very quickly.

    Hi!

    welcome aboard!
  4. Jah Wobble...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylOCIP54PIQ Allegedly he'd learned sitting down and couldn't play standing up. YMMV.
  5. [quote name='wriggers' timestamp='1370248696' post='2097955'] Being a long-time folky I have encountered several innovative bands and concepts. The Imagined Village are up there with the best. A few of the bands that I remember with fondness over the years include Fairport Convention, Alan Stivell Band, Steeleye Span, The Albion Band, Planxty and Afro Celt Sound System. Anyone care to add to the list? [/quote] Five Hand Reel.

  7. [quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1370048726' post='2096104'] I've got one of these, a maple necked version in bright pink from Alyctes on here. The frets needed finishing a little, and I attached some block inlays and painted on some binding along with a 70's Fender logo(this I now regret, although it makes the bass look like its worth several times what I paid...), and the result was a bass to rival my Mex Precision- I even ended up using it for my biggest gig to date, playing in the main hanger at Aintree racecourse for Ladies Day of the Grand National! Stock pickups were surprisingly capable, great sound through the SVT I was using, although the colour is a little loud for some of the more 'spit and sawdust'-ish venues I play. For £49 brand new you really cannot go wrong at all, shame they don't have the metallic blue/maple one so I could knock together a Steve Harris tribute bass on the cheap... [/quote] Glad it worked out for you
  8. Yes. Read the terms and conditions carefully, to make sure that you're not giving away your rights to your work by uploading it.
  9. A fine programme. Fascinating hearing him talk about playing outside pubs at kicking-out time
  10. Also, I'm pleased it was the patient playing. It could have been the surgeon.
  11. Parkinson's is horrible; my dad had it. I wish the patient well. But I still expected a voice saying "So, Doctor, will I be able to play after my operation?" ...
  12. It has a Heavy Rock Bottom! What more could you ask? ... other than a truss to lift it, and a taste bypass. Both available on the NHS, I'm told.
  13. Welcome! Leen2112 is dead right about the marketplace (That was my recommendation, by the way. Haven't had a chance to use the mike yet, but we'll see
