must be something special/valuable/knackered/cheap to consider doing that much work to!!
sounds like fun but i can't help but feel that you could possibly save yourself a few bob?

and in my other capacity, probably having a forgotten what i am doing moment

so if you drop to the B, do you retune the other strings to E A D or do you play B A D G and do you drop the tuning to B with a standard ish 100-115 guage E?

sounds interesting

first (and last gig) at the Attik in Leicester before it closed down. 1st we were supposed to be kit sharing, but the band we followed packed up their drums and fecked off. 2nd Guitarist Andy tuned his guitar - he's got a korg chromatic tuner only he'd recalibrated it accidently to about 458hz concert pitch and tuned his guitars to it. He was about a quarter tone out with the rest of the band - i could tell that there was something wrong but I wasn't quite sure as we were playing in a funny alcove thing with the sound bouncing round. then, andy breaks a string (fairly regular occurrence as he battered his guitars), switches guitar mid song only there is camo netting on the [low] ceiing of the stage, which the guitar gets stuck in and dangles for the rest of the song.

Dreadful

mine's generally been very good.
my epi 335 was particularly cheap and when it turned up had defintely been built on a friday afternoon - so i sent it back, they refunded my £44 quid postage and sent me a Korean made one which was as you would expect. Everything else I've ordered has turned up quickly and when one of the items i bought from them broke, they asked me to email them pics and then sent me a replacement without asking for the broken one to be returned. top marks from me
not always cheaper for everything though.

mine - which is a combination of my first proper bass (the MIJ P - bottom) and my just wanting a USA P (top) and then my object of desire - a 3 band black Stingray





Did get through an EB-0 and a MIM Jazz but didn't really like either of them.

And I know one of them isn't a bass, but the three do go well together!

seeing what they've been going for recently - £150 does look a little high, saying that it's well presented and looks to be a good one.
Personally I'd hold out for an active one and try and get a better deal (if I could - might have to wait a while)

the bass; john

AKA "johnny two gigs" on account of regularly trying to play two gigs on two different bills in two different bands. Usually in two different counties.
Learnt to play the guitar years ago (and still do in a covers band) and picked up the bass 2 years ago for [url="http://www.27brigade.com"]27brigade[/url] because I was "bored". Quality and quantity of bass gear now far outweighs guitar gear. Currently want a Les Paul, Sandberg Basic 4, Ric 4003, G&L L2000 but have run out of space and money (money mostly). Always plays all the right notes but not necessarily always in the right order.

all you need
(well, nearly)

second that really
although our drummer moans that 57s are a bit big for micing toms and snare for him so might be worth a bespoke set of drum mics
