  1. [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1372575899' post='2127243'] The upshot of this is if you want to change the neck on a genuine fender, atleast you can fit a genuine fender neck. £120 is not a lot more than a mighty mite job, I for one would be tempted. It will muddy the waters of an already murky marketplace though, but hey atleast something will be genuine! [/quote] could be that its a cunning marketing ploy to push/maintain the value of vintage originals??
  2. ok so after all the lovely shiney on this thread, here's a dull old dog # 844 is a veritable hussy of a bass - i believe it has seen even more basschatters than the infamous R*******CKER thread i just bought it from cosmo who i think got it from cocco and heaven knows how many other basschatters before - please feel free to divulge and i will record its dirty past on the inside of the control panel plate like a tramp stamp the original bridge will be going back on eventually once i get some black springs for it and set it up am so tempted to have it lacquered up at status with the transluscent metallic charcoal-black hi gloss
  3. devonrex eh? will you be sporting a cat avatar?
  4. saw him at jazz cafe in late 90s - unless the next jimi comes along any time soon you simply will not see a better guitarist
  5. dohh bllcks!!!! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/211210-feedback-for-cosmo-valdemar/"]http://basschat.co.u...cosmo-valdemar/[/url] [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1372519243' post='2126746'] what a splendid chap - took my 25% deposit and then waited a few weeks while i faffed around collecting the remaining beer tokens thoroughly recommended trader/seller/buyer 9/10 i would have scored him 10/10 but he went and bought a "bass which must not be mentioned" on the forum here instead of part trading my lovely vmJ [/quote] was probably my own fault though - i pointed him towards an old Kraan video and he just went all GASSY

  10. last sunday with the coffee table strapped around my neck at the kings hill bash at the spitfire
  11. fretless vmJ still up for trade plus dosh for the head
  12. is this still available please and would you be willing to split (only looking at the LH500) thanks
  13. i wonder if my covers band will be up for the stars on 45 medley [url="http://youtu.be/7skQvj-aBV8"]http://youtu.be/7skQvj-aBV8[/url]
  14. we do indeed - we run coldplay yellow into the script for the first time and then finish up with the last bars of yellow with the key change
  15. focus c-max hatchback - loads of space in back with the seats folded ford galaxy or the vw sharan equivalent is not as big as you think but can be massive inside as it has a flat deck and the rear seats can be removed/folded leaving just the driver and passenger seat
  16. well saturdays five hen party bookings turned into just the one - we were joined by the bride to be giving her vocal rendition of valerie which was actually very good (apparently they were all professional dancers so not your average shy and retiring bunch) - i think the other four parties must have all been blushing brides-to-be from the temperance society or something and they decided to keep to themselves and not partake of the live music entertainment laid on for them was intially sceptical about being first on at kings hill yesterday afternoon at 1pm but turns out we had the best of the sun and warmth as the rest of the afternoon was jackets on and golf umbrellas up - very good FOH sound both out the front and on the stage thanks to JTUK coming along to support
  17. [quote name='great harry' timestamp='1372027500' post='2120895'] Hi Twincam. I am newly back to playing bass and even though I have huge hands the stretching between frets has been a problem but persevere ce a d a good teacher have helped that improve dramatically. It does feel very awkward to start with as you are putting your left hand into positions you wouldn't ever need to if you weren't playing something like a bass or a guitar. It will come with time. Also don't be afraid to move your whole hand up and down the fretboard. [/quote] stretching??? STRETCHING!!!! best you start MOVING your left hand or else the repetitive strain injury police will be along to give you a stern telling off oh ...
  18. [b]brightonjazzfestival.com[/b] actually redirects (without domain forwarding(?)(looks like she's taken it down because of all the kerfuffle) to >>>>> [url="http://nicolacairncross.com/brighton-jazz-festival-website/"]http://nicolacairncr...stival-website/[/url] with her response to Barry Dallman although judging by the 'overall vibe' of her website i think i have a pretty good idea who is actually the genuine music lover and supporter of community music and who is just out to make a fast easy buck (just my opinion of course) edit [i]I have taken the site down now (will take an hour or so to propogate online) and we can all reflect on the loss of yet another potential champion for a much loved art form[/i]. dont you just love this sort of passive/aggressive bollocks

  20. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1371915325' post='2119565'] Surely this must be [i]the[/i] most recognisable drum intro : [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtCBUp8aWI4[/media] [/quote] definitely #13
  21. [quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1371912364' post='2119508'] If youd actually bothered to read the article you would have discovered its the the result of a poll involving 10,000 people. I presume your accusation of laziness was intentionally ironic. [/quote] yes i did 12 lines of copy plus 1 or 2 lines for each of the 25 songs ... hardly ball breaking stuff though by anybody's standards is it
