My mates band [b]Decomposing Babies Eyes[/b] use these.

Shortscale? Hmmm. It's a Parkray.

[quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1342711541' post='1739801'] I think we may have the same bass Made in Mexico, mid-noughties? I go through stages of liking and then hating the colour.... [/quote] I had to strip one for a customer once. That sh*t is about 2.5mm thick ... I find wee bits of sage around the workshop all the time. Although no one agrees with me, I'm sticking to my guns - maple board and a mint plate.

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1342710443' post='1739774'] This shits on the previous thread. [/quote] You're kidding! Mods please merge.

I kinda like it. I admire it's blatant eccentricity. Would I play it live?... maybe in one of my bands, definitely not in the other.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1342698727' post='1739456'] The cheque bounced [/quote] Ah sorry buddy. I am on tour with my band (our singer once saw Rod Stewart and has an Aretha Franklin record) I will give you one by hand. Ramsey Cambridgeshire, that's near Stratford-upon-Avon yes. "Up Helly Aa" old fruit.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1342692603' post='1739312'] You're annoying Or am I just ignoring your avatar and paying too much attention to your posting style and thinking you're someone else... ...hmmm [/quote] Woohoo. You win. Pick a strap from your local dealer and charge it to the US treasury.

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1342693565' post='1739335'] I'm going to post all my pub quiz picture rounds on Basschat from now on out. [/quote] Bzzzt! Gary Lineker 1984

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1342697676' post='1739431'] [b]SVT!!!![/b] [/quote] PMS!!!

Who LIKES sisters I do but here's a picture of a strap. Hey I don't CARE it's only a volcano. What's that you SAY.! Well unless anyone ELSE has built one this is the only one OFF. I have another original but maybe someone BUILDS another. Besides I can't SHUT up. ..... but where's THE cornflake. I thought SO no bass. I speaks to face. But my velvet post-count DRINKS mead in jolly olde Basildon. You don't SEE Stonehenge with a maid WHO sells straps. Remember THE Alamo... yeah baby yeah.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1342649108' post='1738875'] Whatever you do, don't search google images for 'dick van dyke strap'. [/quote] My eyes.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1342644422' post='1738704'] I didn't realise there was a prize. What is the prize? [/quote] Only a complete fecking snowball would think there was a prize. Look it's Maori Poppins, cor blimey guv'nor, ekky-thump, jellied eels, wee laddie... baby.

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1342642768' post='1738646'] Thanks for the offer, Machines. I've PM'ed you a list of my enemies. I look forward to their demise [/quote] Also I've been playing a bit of the old Walking Dead recently. I can not dies.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1342638226' post='1738533'] Why on earth would anybody find the thread confusing? [/quote] [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1342638226' post='1738533'] The only people I can see that were rude in this thread were the various people who seemed to think that it was a competition & questioned the OP about the prize. I think you & the other people were pretty damn rude about the OP's motives for the thread, especially as he's a newcomer. Quite frankly I think you've got a bloody nerve talking about the forum being friendly & civil after the way you reacted to the thread, which only a complete idiot would have thought was a competition in the first place. [/quote] I guess some of us complete idiots (as you put it) managed to confused the phrase "[i]may win a prize[/i]" with "[i]you won't win a prize, I was only joking.... but let's have a look at what you could have won... we have distributors near you[/i]". Sort of thread happens all the time.

Whoa calm the beans Mac. All I did was ask for clarification on your confusing thread. You appear to have a unique posting style. May I retort? [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304'] Yes, you totally missed out. You MISSED that it was all in good fun, and that I think those straps are kool, and thought some might like seeing pics of what I think is a nice product. Have you an issue with that? Is there a problem?? Do you REALLY think I'm trying to SELL something or get free advertising on this board?? [/quote] Your rude assumptions aside, can you blame people for thinking this was a thread about guessing the name of a bass (the clue is kinda in the title) so when it turns out to be a thread about a cool bass which suddely derails itself in one jump to some obscure straps there might be some confusion? It did indeed come accross to some of us as some sort of failed backdoor sales pitch... my bad. [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304'] Are you nuts?? Greedy, suspicious, insecure people think like that I guess, and can't see what good cheer is. I can, so Cheers and cheerio to your ridiculous theory! Holy Stratford-Upon-Avon![/quote] Who knows. But you sir are 100% rude for throwing accusations 5 minutes after joining a friendly forum such as this. I guess that sort of thing is ok on TB but here things are met far more civilly. You might want to lay off the Austin Powers style language while you're at it too as it's not really appreciated. There is a lot of diversity on these isles and your stereotype accounts for less than 1% of it. [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304']I totally dug the people I met in Britain, from the maid at the Hotel in Bath, to the Old Folks in Devonshire, to the hipsters in London-[/quote] I bet they really dug you too. [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304'] But some of youse guys here on this Forum.... Wow wow wow. Don't make me do Lexingon/Concord on you bad-attitude Brits; there's too many Goodfellows here, I trust!!![/quote] Again rude, irrelevant, obscure and threaten.... that's just not jolly old cricket chin chin old chap tickety-boo toodle-pip. [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304']here- Here's a pic of a strap I had custom-made by a guy in Texas- It has my initials so I won't ever sell it of course. The Shamrock on it was a homage to my trip/visit to Ireland (I'm not Irish. alas) Get it????[/quote] Nope. I thought this was a thread about guessing a bass. [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304']See I like straps, that's about it, and I'm lucky enuff to work as a rep for a made-in-usa not china strap company that has a heritage. Yes they're distributed in England, am I trying to get you to buy one??? PLEASE! I could care less, thought someone might chime in "Nice!" Just as the Spectra-Sonic is NICE! that ain't for sale either.[/quote] Ah so you do sell these straps. [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304']Here's another one, made for me by a great gal in Australia, Chantal. The deal with that- THAT is a Native American "Katchina", the Eagle Dancer Spirit. Concept was it FLIES over BS rather than engage it. Those Injuns knew wassup, huh??? Kewl Huh?? Jeesh. [/quote] Hey NICE !

I don't get this. The OP says hi to the UK, poses a question and offers a prize to the winner. The question is duly answered (with bells on)... and surprise surprise by a UK dude. But then it is revealed that his prize cannot be posted to the UK... but there may be distributors somewhere. Huh? Is this an advert? Did I miss something?

Silly question... what do Sabres sound like? Stingray HH... L-2000... P bass... Sabre... or what? Any examples?

I'm sure there was a bit of chat about them when they first came out (can't remember if it was on here though). I think the consensus was that they are good but not worth the extra. I think there was a great deal of scepticism over some of the mystical claims.

Haha. See the name of the seller?

You been working on your Magnum?
