[quote name='phatmonkey' post='30681' date='Jul 12 2007, 11:52 AM']Can anyone remember whether this happened before we changed to this new skin a few days ago?[/quote] It happened to me as soon as the new banner went up. its ok in Firefox but not IE7.

On the way to a gig in Shrewsbury in the seventies,(it was a youth club thing which we did every month) i asked the band jokingly to drop me off at the Music hall to see Free who were appearing there that night, which they promptly did. i was playing keyboards then, Free were very late going on and i was still queing when i though sod this i'm going to miss the band and a lift home, so much to my embarresment as the queue began to move i quit and waited outside for the band, and waited, and waited, i fanally gave up waiting and phoned home, after an hour my lift turned up and so did the band who were late going on also. didn't get to see Free. and had a bollickin off a family member in front of the band, it was only in later years did i wonder why they let me go. was i that bad?

Just dawned on me are you logged in? You need to be logged in doncha??!![/quote] You certainly do, and, as you spotted my deliberate mistake you get to pick the bass of your choice from my collection, which as collections go, is pretty poor, no, it's almost non existant. yeah your right i was'nt logged in. i'm an idiot.

Merci! a new a bass site from France, how the french do it, not a lot happening at the moment.

Ok, am i going crazy or what, the ebay link does'nt show up in Firefox but does i IE. can someone please verify this?

I'm getting the same problem as P-T-P. A script error in IE, googled it and done the inerenet options advanced tab thing. still no good, downloaded the latest java. still no good. my video card is not the greatest but its been ok up to now. downloaded Firefox and everything seems ok. so i have no idea why it's suddenly just started.

[quote name='phatmonkey' post='29425' date='Jul 9 2007, 10:05 PM']Not sure what's wrong. Are you pressing add reply in a topic? Are there any errors or something?[/quote] I don't know what happened there, seems to be allright now. i'm still getting IE script errors but as no one else has reported this it's obviously my pc. thanks for replying.

[quote name='16Again' post='29401' date='Jul 9 2007, 09:33 PM']I just bought a beautiful arctic white standard fender precision (mexico) and i'm thinking about changing the standard bridge to a badass bridge! is it really worth the money?? i've never modified any bass.[/quote] If you have a look above your post, BOD2 has Badass bridge post pinned. so all the info you need could be there.

Just been trying to reply to a post in ebay links. i copied and pasted an ebay link item number and a comment and clicked preview, everything looked ok, but i could not find an option to post, tried add reply and quote reply still nothing, am i doing something wrong? i didn't bother previewing this, just clicked on post.

[quote name='finnbass' post='27246' date='Jul 4 2007, 10:12 PM']Obviously they are not as endemic as Precisions, Jazzs ,Rickenbackers etc but.... If you drive a BMW you notice other BMWs. If you drive a Mercedes, you notice other Mercedes. I see loads of bass players using Warwicks, but I notice them because that's what I play. You notice people playing what you play. What do you play?[/quote] Nice one. bought a Rover and a week later the cylinder head gasket went on it, guy in work said if you had asked me i would have said don't buy it, it's the garage now getting fixed. all of a sudden alll i see on the road is Rovers like my mine! Jack Bruce seems to like Warwick, argue with him.

Have you got any info on it toasted?

[quote name='Subthumper' post='27937' date='Jul 6 2007, 02:18 PM']Chances are if one drivers gone the others might not be far behind considering they've all had the same use or abuse.Prepare to have to change or recone all of them.[/quote] You could be right, that had'nt crossed my mind, it's about twelve years old so there is a possability.

No, i haven't had a look at it yet. it's probably the obvious thing to do. thanks for the replies.

This is new territory for me so aplogies if my questions are a bit inane. is replacing a a blown 10 inch speaker in a combo a straitforward affair or is it best left to someone who knows what they are doing? in this case its a trace 4x10, do you need an exact speaker as a replacement or would any 10inch do. i suppose i could google but what's the average cost a speaker. thanks.
