Can we get some sound clips at some point , would love to hear what that sounds like :-) Steve[/quote] Thanks Steve. Sound clips er probably not I don't have the tech... Mind you I've not heard it either ... it's still in Italy If the plan has worked it should be capable of sounding like a P bass from Jamerson to Lynott and Jean Jaques* plus the J pup tones. * ie vol on full, tone on full, PUP copntrol set to P pup. Then pluck, thumb or pick in different places on the strings Same as any other P bass

She did say hummmmmmm in tha "yeah right if you think I'm falling for that..." kind of way. My wife can count so my ploy to have a Shuker P5 and a Fender P4 bothin Jamerson Sunburst didn't work... I think she'll notice the new one though. It's certainly not sunburst [attachment=41263:Immagine_318.jpg]

[quote name='eude' post='726309' date='Jan 27 2010, 01:36 PM']Si, when you next speak to the W&T boyos, can you please ask them to update their website? Some of us bass porn users need a dose a little more regularly than they're providing... Eude[/quote] ha ha Yeah You'll be excited to know "an update is imminent". Meanwhile, in my own particular Pawn Shop, they certainly know how to do an attractive heel ....

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='726031' date='Jan 27 2010, 08:47 AM']Side or front?[/quote] Fingerboard so front. Side led's are not naf when yoru eyes are as old as mine

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='725499' date='Jan 26 2010, 05:40 PM']That looks sturdy as a tank!! Only discovered W&T recently, I love unusual basses - try finding another bass like that. The LEDs are a sweet touch [/quote] Ha ha Yeah. It will be but not heavy. I insisted on side LED's. Can't cope without, these days. I blame my Shuker That's a tale on it's own though as they don't do it normally so I had to source them here and get them sent out. Two lost shipments and some confusion from the supplier caused about a month's delay.

Someone did follow one of these up to see what happened a few years back. I think it just went quiet when the scammer realised...

[quote name='mcgraham' post='724896' date='Jan 26 2010, 10:16 AM']My wife is a quick learner. She now knows each and every one of my instruments, the brand and model of each instrument, all the features of each of my basses, and is fully aware of each and every amp I own. We also have a flat so small that another instrument would stand out like another person in the house. I couldn't sneak one in if my life depended on it. Fortunately, she trusts me, knows I am very good with money (she's not bad either!), and good with funding new purchases using old gear. As such, she didn't bat an eyelid when I said in May of 2009 'sweetheart, I'm planning a new Wood&tronics fretless, it'll cost even more than the last one... hope that's ok'... Her response: 'sure, what features is it going to have?' I love my wife [/quote] Well there's no way she'll mistake that for yet another Geddy Jazz is there ...

[quote name='jakesbass' post='724891' date='Jan 26 2010, 10:10 AM']There's a missing integer in your analysis Chris. It's (up to and including) 2:4:herd and before any cheerless git chimes in, I'm Welsh.[/quote] Don't live here though, do you, tough guy ..... and I already did the Woolly Wives bit

[quote name='NJE' post='721525' date='Jan 22 2010, 06:51 PM']She said "didnt you used to have a baby blue Precision when we met" I was stunned.[/quote] She's not that good, Fender have never made a "Baby Blue" precision.

[quote name='Beedster' post='721502' date='Jan 22 2010, 06:28 PM']And of course Wales [/quote] Do Woolly Wives count?

Used to have a 98 "Vintage White" Fender P that was called "The Custard Bass" by my band. The white plate didn't help.

[quote name='davidmpires' post='724235' date='Jan 25 2010, 04:20 PM']My Spector almost doubled up since I got it 3 years ago. Blame the economy. but that also means that I get more money if I decided to sell it, which I won't [/quote] Yeah ... but it's like house prices rising all the time. You can only actually benefit if you then don't spend the proceeds on a replacement bass (or house) as they have also gone up.

Quite into Steampunk Art after visiting the exibition in Oxford at the weekend. Sorry these are mostly Guit@rz and mostly art rather than functional instruments but pretty cool none the less. IMHO.

[quote name='TheFortyFives' post='724548' date='Jan 25 2010, 08:54 PM']Hi there, just signed up to the forum to let you know that this is a scam. I've had identical emails sent to me over the past couple of days. Might be worth letting everyone else on the forum know about this, and likewise, any other musicians you know to prevent them from getting ripped off by this "James Langdon" fellow. Andy The Forty Fives www.thefortyfives.co.uk[/quote] That's right neighbourly of you. : Welcome to the community.

It happens regularly. We've had a few down the years. Not even worth your time to play games with them.

[quote name='mcgraham' post='724106' date='Jan 25 2010, 02:32 PM']So, developments... our church has almost completed a deal on a building in the centre of Nottingham. Verrry exciting stuff. What is also exciting is that the person who is in charge of sound/PA has taken my IEM experiences on board and decided to go hardwired IEM for the new venue (e.g. drum booth for drummer plus headphones, IEM headphone boxes for stationary band members and those who stand by an amp such as guitarists, keyboardists, bassists, etc). Finally! We're getting somewhere! Mark[/quote] Drummer in a box .... hummmmmmmmm

For Idyllic read Iconic.

I've contacted the bowls club and an Ibanez Blazer [b]is[/b] acceptable but only in the bar.

There's a good thread on the subjct here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5436&st=0&p=56924&#entry56924"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...amp;#entry56924[/url] We get all our weddings from our website and word of mouth. Agents don't bother us unless they have been let down. We are just too easy to find on the web. So I'd say get the right approach (as on that thread) and a decent website and it will happen.

[quote name='poptart' post='722237' date='Jan 23 2010, 03:23 PM']Mark Your bass will be in the shop next week, I can't wait to see it in the flesh, it is coming with a rather stunning Chronos 5 - [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/WT_Stock_Chros_5_b_o.html"]HERE[/url] The guys at WT are raising the bar with every bass that they make. Mark[/quote] Glad to hear both of those things

Yeah! The basslines were one of the best bits of the Mama Mia film. Lovely loud bass.

My thoughts are with you, your family and that of Tim Terrible to loose ones life so young.

[quote name='mcgraham' post='721239' date='Jan 22 2010, 02:37 PM']Yup. I'd confirmed ETA with Mark @BassDirect earlier this week. ... <set mood to EXCESSIVELY HOPEFUL>[/quote] Oh that will make for a nice day at your place mmmwwwwaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
