Thanks for that Pete. Now got one and very nice it is too Paul

just bit the bullet and drove to Huddersfield (GTR Guitars Drums and Bass) and bought one for £329-cheapest I've seen. Played very well in the shop (nice peeps). Again, thanks for the help Mark and Jaydentaku Paul

Just picked one up from GTR Guitars Drums and Bass in Huddersfield. Lovely people. £329 for bass. Early days yet, yes it is on heavy side but loving it.

Thanks for that M-Bass_M. That's reassuring to know. I'd already checked out their site but knew nothing about them. I take it that you rate the SUB? Paul

I'm in Bradford,West Yorks. I don't really want to take a punt on ordering one on'tinterweb. I would be grateful for any info. Many thanks in anticipation[/b][/color] [color=#333333][b]Paul[/b][/color]

Thanks Simon. Also the map he has posted is just off of the M62 and not York as he says is his location. Think I'll hang on to my £470 until I give it to the taxman Cheers Paul

I would love (could afford) a stingray at that price but I am very wary about replying to the seller. Any tips out there?

The table has quite a good finish compared to the bass. I might put in a bid for that.

Count me in too. Do we get membership cards and pin badges?

That's my Xmas prissy sorted then!

I hope to be there early doors

I would definitely be there. Yorkshire preferably but Manchester is do-able too.

Cheers Nige. Looking forward to seeing you at some point. Have a great gig mate.

Love Transglobal Underground! When are you playing near Bradford?

Music equipment stolen from Blyth pub Dated: 17 Jul 2012 Police are appealing for information after around £3,000 worth of music equipment was stolen from a Blyth pub. Between 12:50am and 1:30am on Sunday, July 15, thieves broke into a marquee outside the Three Horse Shoes pub in Horton Road. They stole a number of pieces of equipment including a Gallien Krueger Maker bass head, a JBL black SR series speaker, a 12 inch JBL monitor, a Marshall twin guitar speaker cabinet, a Fender twin guitar speaker, a gold Sonor drum kit and three symbol stands. Enquiries are ongoing into the theft and anyone with information is asked to contact police. PC Bryan Fletcher, who is investigating the theft, said: "The pub was holding a beer and music festival and had a marquee in place over the weekend for the event. From CCTV we know that three men got into the marquee by cutting their way in through one of the panels and have caused around £2,000 damage. "We're looking into the possibility that they may have attended the event and enquiries are ongoing. If anyone has any information into the theft or the whereabouts of this distinctive equipment they should get in touch." Anyone with information can contact police on 101 ext 69191 or by ringing the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

I don't but thought you might like this clip of Mike Clemmer, a lovely guy and builder extraordinaire. I met him at his shop in Townsend earlier this year and he showed me this resonator. In american parlance, AWESOME http://www.clemmerdulcimer.com/?p=65

Thanks for the link bluejay

By the way I can't find the above link. The previous link is in German-is there an English link please?

Could be a goer. Thinking I might drive if I can get couple of people to share fuel. Any thoughts?
