Sorry to hear about the amp JJ are very good. I've had a pair in my 100 amp for years and they're still going strong.

I'll stick my neck out and say that no coffee table/exotic topped bass can be cool. Beautiful, elegant, masterpiece maybe, but cool? No.

It's all to do with associations; I used to associate Steinberger Cricket bats with cheesy 80s acts, and thought they were very uncool. Then I discovered Robbie Shakespeare played one, and suddenly they are ultra cool. How shallow

Ummmmm... Gaffer tape

iirc his hair and sideburns finally got so rediculous that he officially turned into a werewolf, was captured, and released into the wild in Finland.

Lignum vitae is crazy stuff - feels halfway between wood and stone, and so heavy. There's a reason you never see a Lignum vitae bass

If you post a video of yourself standing in the centre of Aberdeen (in your pants) shouting "Gibsons are crap" I'll do it

I've seen some Statii with ebony facings. It's expensive, dense and tends to come in small boards, especially if you don't want the bright yellow sapwood.

Looks fantastic! FYI I just had a bass fretted by Jon Shuker and he was perfect. Well worth shooting him an email.

Looking forward to seeing our support act Ashmore on Saturday. After that it's a DJ night, headlined by the superb Featurecast, and after that, Dreadzone.

Simon sold me a tablet for a bargain price. He was quick to post it and it was well packaged. Thanks!

Are you going for new or used? Just thinking that if it's an older LM3, it'll be class AB rather than class D, which may be worth taking into account.

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1453865048' post='2963612'] I had this issue recently with the B string on a pack of Elixirs and they sent me out a full new set of strings and asked to send them the dodgy string back in an envelope they were sending me. I didn't get the envelope (meaning I had no address to send to) so e-mailed asking for the address and they just asked me to send a picture of the string... ? Great customer service. Got a few picks with the strings as well. Handy to have even though I never use them. [/quote] There's me thinking that they were going to examine the dud string in a lab or something - turns out they just wanted to check you weren't telling porkies.

Bump

Do we know if it's class D or class A/B? On a superficial note, I quite like the crazy green, much nicer than the LM3

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1453794067' post='2962708'] Found the new band "Grand Slam JT's Allstars" can't find a website or anything though just dates for the windmill and the tickled trout. Any chance of some links JT? [/quote] I have no idea why I find this post so funny

I make distressed tables

I used to enjoy the gear porn and get bored with the idiots and trolls. Now it's the other way round.

I've just switched to four strings.

It looks old half-eaten pizza

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1453653350' post='2961422'] You know what as I was typing that I thought "I hope no one thinks I'm a bit dodgy" hahaha I'm actually a really honest guy, in this case someone has been messed about by a shop and rightly sent the bass back all good there right thing too do etc etc. But it takes time away from you, having to repackage the bass and then wait for courier which is an arse on and never mind the "if's" say he had needed the bass for gig. So I felt like many he should of had some form of compensation. If this happened in a private sale ok no issue no ones fault, my issue is with a shop expecting all this and not even offering say a free pack of strings as a goodwill gesture. [/quote] Yeah I get that, only messin'

since Spotify, yes!
