I shall raise a stein to you and the band from Frankfurt, as that's where I'll be instead of coming to see you, tomorrow. Hope it's a killer. Phil[/quote] Yes, it nearly killed me but was a fantastic evening thanks. I thought about you whilst I was enjoying a pint of Timothy Taylor's! Hope you haven't spent too much, or maybe that would be a good thing! Let me know when you are back and I'll try and get some bass buddies to come and put fingermarks on all your lovely stock!

Here's mine [attachment=76777:aero_2.jpg]

Just sold a combo to Clarky and had the pleasure of talking on the phone, what a nice chap! Cheers from Yorkshire Clarky

My Band "The Watermelon Men" are celebrating 10 years together this Tuesday 5th April at the West Park Hotel, Harrogate HG1 1BJ We'll be playing jazz, swing, latin, blues, soul and who knows what else. The line up has changed over the years but we'll have the original and current members on stage with the return of our first ever guest, saxman Brendan Duffy. Scott Devine is hoping to make an appearance, hope to see some other basschatters there, if anyone fancies sitting in (no slapping!) [attachment=76682:party.jpg]

Just sold my little used Wizzy 10 to Hector, which I'll no doubt regret, but it should get some good use in it's new home, Hectors House! What a nice chap to deal with, good coms etc. He's completely honest and trustworthy, I wouldn't hesitate to trade again with him.

[quote name='Clarky' post='1183865' date='Mar 31 2011, 08:39 PM']Couple of bad flash camera shots of my newly acquired June 2004 Mach II (or according to one Wal blog, a Mach II/III hybrid) fretless with American walnut facings and mahogany core. Ebony board has useful side fret marker lines on it, like an Ibanez fretless I once owned. Weighs 9.4 pounds, balances very well on a strap, almost Jazz-like neck dimensions, and in immaculate condition. Sounds very like a DB on the bass/neck pickup with the tone rolled off (it has LaBella flats on it) which is what I need in my band, plus has a ton of other tonal options. Will be spending a couple of hours with this tonight as the Mrs on a girlie's night out and kids broke up from school today [attachment=76379:P1040152.JPG][attachment=76380:P1040149.JPG][/quote] Welcome to the club Clarky, nice looker looks like you've taken it to bed already, and while Mrs C is out!

[quote name='littleal' post='1183516' date='Mar 31 2011, 04:34 PM']Just got this back from the gallery (sei bass) & Martin has done a stunning job fretting this for me [/quote] Bet you're glad you kept her Al

[quote name='yorks5stringer' post='1182882' date='Mar 30 2011, 11:46 PM']The remaining names below seem immune to both the request on the thread here and a PM sent yesterday: Mikey R Ben_55 So if you guys would like a strictly limited edition FREE Yorkshire Bass Bash T-Shirt ,please R.S.V.P with your size and address please, otherwise there are others eager to don the mantle/shirt ![/quote] Did you get me down for a medium? cheers

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1182769' date='Mar 30 2011, 09:59 PM']I have developed SERIOUS Wal GAS over the last month [/quote] [attachment=76263:4_string_midi_back.jpg]

I had an MB150 that buzzed it was the speaker wire touching the cabinet. I put an extra twist in it and it was fine. hope this helps

Once you've removed the offending articles I suggest you fill the instrument with expanding foam to prevent this sort of thing happening again.

Well done Keith & Phil. Good to see Scott & Geoff and all the other guys.
