  1. NEW COMBO DAY - check out my review on the Ashdown EVO 180 11 here:

      Nice. Used an Ashdown 4X10 combo as backline once, wasn't looking forward to it much but it turned out to be excellent - huge, punchy and warm. Led to a dalliance with Ashdown that lasted for some time. Until I got GAS again, in fact... ;)

  2. Emojis...emojis...have they been breeding??  🐇🐇

  3. Did I sleep through Summer 2018 and awoke in October? It's bl00dy freezing outside..

      I didn't notice any snoring Mick.  Perhaps you blinked just a little longer than you should have...?

      I hear you though.  Crazy, almost bi-polar, weather.

      We've brought our (late germinating) tomatoes indoors because it is uncommonly cold for them at this stage of development despite being in a grow-house outside.  There wasn't room for my Peppadew seedlings.  They are still outside taking their chances beneath upturned glass jars.  I fear we'll lose them anyway.

      Reluctantly, I've switched the central heating back on >:(

      During Winter we run a range and central heating.  I turned the range off, as usual for the warmer weather, a couple of weeks ago.  The CH is running almost constantly now.  I'm on the edge of a decision to turn the range back on for a couple more weeks!

      I'm seriously considering reinstating the chimneys for a couple of wood burners at either end of the house.

  4. HEADLINE!! Discreet isn't the most popular contributor this week...maybe we'll make up the 300 or so "likes" he has on the rest of us..xD

      Um, are you not content then?  Heeheehee

      Frankly I don't understand popularity.  I'm a bit Sheldon on that one.  The few times that people have put me forward because of something they've seen in me, I've usually felt stifled by the extra attention.

      Gawd help me if I ever got recognised as a talented bass player (no chance).  I'd probably run a mile.

      I take your point about the volume of content skewing the figures as it were but since it's only a bit of fun, I care not.  The quality of your posts rarely falls below the high standard that we became used to way before we had emoji buttons at Basschat.

      I hear the Russians have hacked Discreet's account. We need an independent investigation into this...

  6. Mods....are we any closer to getting the "Signature" feature reinstated? Not having to search for people's feedback was such a benefit.

      Trying to update my sig, but cant find my feedback, as the search function doesn't work, and I don't fancy scrolling through hundreds of pages to try and find it, can the search function be set up to search for names under the different pages, like it used to? (It used to give option of searching on the subject you were on, or on the wider forum)

      Thanks in advance.

      It still does but a status probably isn't the best place to discuss

  7. Stumpy acoustic thing with sharp skinny strings on arrived today....you'll be able to gauge my interest by watching the "other musical things for sale" thread..xDxD..

      Those skinny strings sure cut into the fingers...

  8. With 4 basses for sale I'm beginning to think that Fleabay85 has been murdered by his wife and she's selling all his gear.

    If you live nearby can you pop round and check they don't have a new patio.

      Ha ha!  Perhaps it's the other way round & he's sorting out a business flight somewhere?

      Yes, for two days, but it doesn't last until noon as the temperatures  are between 0 and 5...

      We had a lickle tickle's worth last night but its barely worth mentioning.  It was patchy frost for the most part 'round Derby.

      Did you get any snow in the end?

      Yep - second snowfall of the season up here above Halifax - I do live at 1,000 ft though so we've had snow 3ft deep in the garden in May before...

  10. Puppy just back from the Vet after being spayed - firstly it was weird her not being here, now she's acting weird.

    Would come as no surprise if aliens landing tonight..

      Hope she's OK now? Has she settled down? :)

      Glad that I'm only ever going to have to do this once.

      First day I had a weird dog, clearly under the effects of Chemical Happiness, off her food then vomited what she had eaten.

      Since then she hasn't been able to be let off a lead, she's not used to being kept on a lead, so I have a 18 month old puppy with pent up, frustrated energy unable to play with her (many) friends.

      Nightmare!!

      Greatest thing I have ever found to calm a dog down is a log burner! No not a lump of wood on the head chaps but the heat! Just had one installed and now all 4 of my dogs snooze away in front of it merrily! Might be a bit extreme for you though ?

      I misread "ballgag" and did myself a slight mischief!  I hope you're happy now.  I've just been arrested in ALDI.
