[quote name='BottomEndian' post='953203' date='Sep 11 2010, 10:06 PM']It is indeed that cheap, and now closes at 11pm. Only £5/hour until 5pm too. You [b]can[/b] pop to the Chillingham after... but these days you tend to be delving into the sort of territory we're covering in the "dickhead" thread. [/quote] really ? heaton that bad these days ? i remember when only rich students lived in heaton...all the poor sods (like me) seem to live in fenham/benwell.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='953185' date='Sep 11 2010, 09:41 PM']There's still a moderate stickiness, but it's all slowly being re-done as time and budget allows. Steve's actually made some really impressive acoustic improvements to all the rooms. At £6.50 an hour at peak time, I'm not complaining. [/quote] blimey, is it still that cheap ? and i suppose you can still pop to the chillingham for a pint after ?

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='953139' date='Sep 11 2010, 08:56 PM']It was still going strong until a few weeks ago, but I've heard (unconfirmed) rumour that it's had to close down. The unconfirmed rumour is accompanied by another unconfirmed rumour that it'll be reopening somewhere else soon. I dunno. I always rehearse at First Avenue anyway cos it's cheapest! (And the guys there are top fellas.) Here endeth the pointless diversion.[/quote] 1st avenue...home of the stickiest floors in any rehearal studio in newcastle...well it was when i was there regularly !

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='953140' date='Sep 11 2010, 08:56 PM']As to warning the vendor, Ahpook, it's your call mate.[/quote] i know the vendor's being a bit foolish, but we all do that now and again. maybe they're dyslexic ?

frankly i'd be inclined to contact the seller and let then know...

i regularly used a burman cab in a practice studio in newcastle years ago (polestar - anyone remember it) ? i guess it was a 4x10 or something similar, due to the size and shape. sounded great.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='952858' date='Sep 11 2010, 04:22 PM']Take it easy on him though guys, his intentions in posting were benevolent and we all know some people out there have difficulties with writing. It would have taken a little bit of bravery to contribute knowing there was a risk people might criticise.[/quote] plus the one

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='952513' date='Sep 11 2010, 09:59 AM']Maybe it's just me, but the speaker configuration looks kind of like a surprised owl squatting on top of a shocked frog.[/quote] do you have to mention shocked frogs after the 'sick monkey' thread ?

i bet it wouldn't make any difference to mani

[quote name='kevbass' post='951185' date='Sep 9 2010, 10:06 PM']Really unjustifiably expensive coffee table looking basses that cost an arm and a leg to have made.[/quote] plus the one

i've never owned a hartke, but one of the practice studios i use has a hartke combo (maybe a 3500 head ?) and it sounds great.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='946491' date='Sep 5 2010, 06:29 PM']Cheap drum machine with MIDI out?[/quote] that'd be my suggestion

good work - it's very satisfying to do your own maintenance...makes you feel more connected to your bass imho

[quote name='2pods' post='946258' date='Sep 5 2010, 03:37 PM']Well, there's no lights on it.................. [/quote] and somebody might have grassed him up... (sorry)

one of the funniest comments i ever received was "you guys are great, if you practiced more you could as big as kasabian' aim high eh ?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='943655' date='Sep 2 2010, 04:58 PM']Or this one? [/quote] that's the MM bridge i prefer...

it is indeed...a 3000 or 3001 iirc

i'm sorry, but i look at those basses...and i'm sure they're fine instruments, but i just think 'ouch' that said...i would go for something like an iceman...not a b.c. rich, i know.

"Elecric Twin-Arm Bass Guitar" ?? better than a one-armed banjo i suppose...
