    The Cave - a barber shop in Aberdeen. Needed a quick haircut and was looking for a new place as my old one closed. So I went into their place. Got told by the lady (receptionist?) that it was appointment only. Place was empty. I said I was just wanting a single gauge buzz cut. Lady went to the back shop to speak to the barber. Guy actually looked at me through the open door then shook his head at the lady then disappeared back into the back shop. In full view of me! Well, F you then, you snobby C! Went to the place next door to it and got sorted out no bother. Also Wetherspoons can eat a D. Owner's a knob. Managed to successfully dissuade my staff Christmas night out from going there and go to a nearby establishment instead, and will continue to fight the good fight. Me and Gibson (USA) are on a long term break...

    Keep up the good work!

    You just can't help yourself, can you? Are you even reading our input, or just using any excuse to berate bolt on construction? Just rename the thread to "I hate bolt on construction and I think anyone who owns one is an idiot" and be done with it, because that's all I'm getting from this thread now. Cool story bro. I'm out.

    OP doesn't have a bee in the bonnet, got the whole damn hive

    You're wasting your time.
  6. neepheid
    This is the kind of creative thinking I've been hoping for

    Also, we get it - you don't like bolt on construction. You're off base with your description though. I've seen many pieces of wood screwed together with military precision, with lovely recessed screw heads and sculpted heels. A well done neck join is a joy to behold, regardless of the method.

    I just found a font I liked and used that. It's kinda like the font used on the cover of The Cure's "Wild Mood Swings". The letters kinda look like they're dancing? It's ruined now, I've explained it

    Hell no. I would set fire to a grand of it as a symbolic gesture then use the remaining FOUR GRAND to buy a G&L or two.
  10. neepheid
    What you doing up there anyway?
  11. neepheid
    E - learn how to set up your own basses so you don't have to take it to a tech for a "minor adjustment"?

    Doing some homework for next rehearsal: Blondie, "One Way or Another" Hole, "Celebrity Skin" Garbage, "Only Happy When it Rains" A rocked up version of "Ring of Fire", kinda like Bowling For Soup perhaps. And making sure that these haven't trickled out of my brain in the interim: Ozzy, "Bark at the Moon" Queen, "Tie Your Mother Down"

    Bloody hell, someone buy this, great deal!
  14. neepheid
    I would say it's fine. You didn't buy the bass, you bought the potential to win it. Raffle tickets aren't gear, last I checked. I would just say well done and celebrate your good fortune, jealously

    I've been at my current employment for a while now, so I had a quick check and I think I've been there 19 years. Checked to see if there were any perks for that, but thankfully (from a gear abstinence point of view) the first long service award offered is for 25 years, so I'm ok.
  16. neepheid
    OK, enjoy that. Thanks for highlighting that putting down a deposit for something this year constitutes failure, even if it's not slated to appear this year - that's your get-out for next year.

    I use one of these: https://www.eastpak.com/uk-en/backpacks-c120/padded-double-black-pEK-0A5B7Y-008-OS--1-.html Lots of pockets - you can get a few Boss-sized pedals in the bottom front pocket for instance. I've been using one for over two years now and it has stood up to the rigours of gigging well so far.

    You got me curious, so I checked. I just removed and put back a bass in a TGI Extreme gig bag in an upright orientation. It keeps its shape when open and it has a velcro strap thingy for securing the neck.
  19. neepheid
    IIRC the TGI is sturdy enough to stand up on its own. Apart from my hard cases, I get all my basses out of and into their bags in an upright position.
  20. neepheid
    Yup, cocktail sticks. Don't use matchsticks - wood's too soft.
  21. neepheid
    If you're happy with the TGI Extreme (and I know they're good, I have one myself) then why are you looking elsewhere? Just get another one of those (and save yourself a butt load of cash too)?

    Note to prospective buyers of this cab - it would go great with the Puma 900 head that I'm selling... #justsayin GLWTS, OP
  23. neepheid
    Fnar, hardening.

    Selling my Tecamp Puma 900 - go have a look in the amp sales forum for a nosey.  If you're taking part in the Gear Abstinence thread - don't look, go do something else! :)

    For sale we have a Tecamp Puma 900 head in excellent condition. 900W@4 ohms, 600W@8 ohms. Comes with carry bag, antislip mat, strap, 1U rack ears (screws left screwed into the Puma for safe keeping), mains cable, aux cable, manual and the original box/packaging. I'm selling it because while it's an amazing sounding amp (I played 2 gigs with it), I ended up scoring a Markbass Mini CMD121P IV which complements my New York 121 cab perfectly so that's become my go-to rig and I don't have the room to have another cab to make this amp truly sing (although it was making a fine noise with the single New York 121!). It's super compact, really powerful and the Taste knob is genius for quickly getting an agreeable sound. It's far too good to have laying around the house as a backup/occasional recording amp so I want to move it on and let someone else get the benefit of it. £400 + postage, price is firm, no trades, thanks! Postage costs Parcelforce 48 will cost £17.70, fully insured Parcelforce 24 will cost £18.20, fully insured Has been packed in its original box, then surrounded by bubblewrap in an outer box. Paranoid, moi?
