  1. Yes sorry not to see you there Dan, nor any other basschatter lanyards for that matter. I’ve never been able to get on with IEMs tbh but can definitely see the value of them and why lots swear by them. I found that I spent more time swearing at them.
  2. Yes I thought that may be the case. chowny basses look great but didn’t get to lay hands on one unfortunately. I also like the look of that white Anaconda Jazz type bass across the way
  3. I really enjoyed it yesterday, apart from the usual noise. Dave Marks’ and Paul Geary’s workshops were very good. I had a brainwave half way around. Why didn’t I bring my little VoX Amplug and headphones so I could try instruments out without all the din ?Will try this next time. Here’s me trying £16,000 worth of ‘66 Jazz. Very nice but nearly a grand a fret !
  4. I’m really looking forward to it. Tickets booked with discount code prompted by BC newsletter so thanks for that
  5. I just googled and it came up with Ed Friedland I’m sure I borrowed one of his instructional books once
  6. Footloose is quite hard
  7. I have a Wizard Thumper in my SX/Mighty Mite/CTS/Gotoh bitsa P Bass and I couldn’t agree more Steve . I love it
  8. I’ve been using DR fat beams for a while now, purchased directly from the US still cheaper than buying them here. I really like the sound and feel and they seem to last quite well
  9. How about a Spector coda 5 string ?
  10. Anyone looking for a top hand wired valve amp-buy this ! I'm not in the market for another guitar amp at the mo as mainly bass and have just bought a little Yerasov amp I did some work for Paul Cornford a few years ago and was paid with a Cornford Harlequin, which I no longer have. Wish I'd kept it. They're brilliant amps and the Hurricane is superb and very useful at 22watts If they aren't collectable yet they should be ! good luck with the sale
  11. Mine is very simple but effective, if a little dull- like me! US std Jazz as bought in 2006 bitsa p bass: sx body, mighty mite fender licenced neck, wizard thumper, cts electrics, ‘70s gotoh tuners. All bought on here. Peavey Tim Landers Signature 5 string. Ebay bargain stripped of hideous blue colour and looking lovely all au naturel maple. All with DR Fat beams. Markbass CMD210 and extra 210 cab. no effects and a Korg led tuner strapp comfort straps cant remember which leads I use but good ones as they’ve lasted for years!
  12. This was sent to me: please contact them directly if you're interested
  13. I've just got one of these https://youtu.be/cSh-jbBhbo8 It's the upgraded black Tolex one £369 Lovely
  14. These look very tempting at this price. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Spector_Coda_Pro_5_Trans_Black.html Anybody tried one ?
  15. [quote name='Rich' timestamp='1509544413' post='3399782'] I remember when all this was trees. And you could leave your front door open. Is it time for my nap yet? [/quote] Aah, nostalgia isn't what it used to be. They used to come in sweet jars when I was a boy
  16. [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1503416875' post='3358065'] The great thing about most Dylan covers is they are always very different from his versions , so you've got options [/quote] If you can find it Michael Hedges live version of all along the watchtower
  17. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1500588528' post='3339004'] With her looks how can you lose? Blue [/quote] Yes on both counts
  18. [quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1498662705' post='3326196'] Some quite nasty comments about Liam on here , I wonder if you people are brave enough to say these things to him in person...? [/quote] An old colleague of mine came very close to a scrap,with Liam Gallagher at an awards do a few years ago. Sadly I wasn't there but I'm quite confident that John would have floored the obnoxious little gobsh*te
  19. I use DR fat beams on mine. Love it
  20. On one of the biggest outdoor gigs I'd ever played Ipicked up my 5 string and started playing horribly out of tune with everyone else but not by an instantly recoverable amount. It was excruciating. i had to stop and swap basses. I couldn't see the leds on my tuner so pulled out my spare lcd analogue when I had tuned my 5string between sets. Somehow the calibration on this rarely used tuner had been changed from 440hz to something else.
  21. I have a Mighty Mite Fender licenced neck on my "precision". It came with a Fender Logo already applied when I bought it secondhand. Should I now scrape it off ? BTW It sounds fantastic
