[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='673989' date='Dec 4 2009, 10:36 AM']The day I sell this is the day I stop playing bass Paul [/quote] Oddly enough that's how I feel about my Shuker Precision. However this one never got me like that. I suspect that even if I'd done the same pickup change I'd have not bonded with it. Loved looking at it though I am, however, absolutely over the moon that it's turned out to be a great bass for you, Al. After Mike sold it I was wondering if it might turn into one of those ones that circulate around BC for ever .....

Welcome young man

[quote name='Sibob' post='675493' date='Dec 6 2009, 10:39 AM']Wander a bit quicker and get there about 1 mate, I gotta leave at 2 lol Si[/quote] What was that about wandering a bit quicker? Nice to meet you Si. I hope you had fun after I had to go.

[quote name='Alun' post='675956' date='Dec 6 2009, 06:26 PM']Did I? Not me guv Great tune though. I used to know it, will have to have a listen. Cheers Alun[/quote] Oh sorry, Thought you had Rhythm Stick?

It's that Wizzard Christmas Tune but that jazz custom must sound a bit odd with the pickups like that ...

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='675028' date='Dec 5 2009, 03:52 PM']Played at The Bull in Sittingbourne with T Alan and Kunt and the Gang. Was a good show except the promoter didn't pay T Alan their guaranteed fee and didn't pay the soundman, what a knob. Good pic from the show.[/quote] Nice to see a couple of your biggest fans showed up

Wandering over Sunday at about 2 (they close at 4)

[quote name='OldGit' post='674485' date='Dec 4 2009, 08:34 PM']Anyway everyone looks a pillock in a bowler [/quote] Ah, not quite everyone

[quote name='Sibob' post='674490' date='Dec 4 2009, 08:40 PM']A day too early Si[/quote] Could possibly make it Sunday ... PM me your plans?

[quote name='allighatt0r' post='674451' date='Dec 4 2009, 07:26 PM']Awesome site! I never expected to see a bowler for £25! Awesome! Only problem is you can't try them on. I'm too frightened of looking like a total pillock to get one. [/quote] They do a 14 day refund deal. You just pay the postage back .. Their sizes have been accurate for me so far. Anyway everyone looks a pillock in a bowler but I still have one

[quote name='maxrossell' post='670616' date='Dec 1 2009, 12:05 AM']Another massive waste of our f*cking time, as are all pay-to-play gigs.[/quote] Shall I go on about pay to play gigs again, you know, about choosing, managing and making the most of them, about non pecuniary benefits and about not moaning when you know the score? eh? Shall I?

[quote name='tauzero' post='673812' date='Dec 4 2009, 12:27 AM']Yes, in the grand tradition of ceilidhs, they don't realise it's a British Isles thing so it's Western dress and a casino at one end of the room. And two bars. And it's a barn dance, not a ceilidh. As the caller is Mrs Zero, and if she suffers, so do I, I have a vested interest in minimising her suffering. But she's also the one doing the organising from our end and speaking to the corporate organiser so her suffering is in her own hands. It would be nice to get a bit of repeat business out of this one...[/quote] Yeah those type 3* audiences can be tricky if not pre-warned whereas if they know it's a ceilidh/barn dance when the decide to come or not, and what to wear and that they have to get up and dance under instruction, it all goes a lot better ... A begging, pleading and crying caller is only fun for about 5 minutes and probably no fun at all for you if it's the missus .. We did a couple of gigs a long time back with a caller who got positively abusive to audiences that wouldn't get up and do it. Not a pretty sight and certainly not the way to get repeat business .... * Type 3: Captive audiences onto which you have been thrust.
