  1. Nice, the old "annoying twit spoils another gig" strikes again. Unfortunately comes with the turf.... most (NOT ALL) programmers/bookers are useless musicians that resort to booking bands in a futile attempt to fill their not so musical boots. They get a little fascist on bands generally...Move on.... ;p

  2. Great to see someone now has the Pike's to check out!

    For the rest I see all of this is down to a number of bad decisions made by the owners/CEOs of 2 companies and neither is any better than the other.
    BassDirect should have kept on selling the Pike's, business is business. Or he should never have started selling them in the 1st place. All he has achieved now is raise lots of question marks about his reasoning for stopping all of a sudden. Mark sort of got himself caught up in this as well now..

    And lets not forget this entire thing is about as important as deciding what colour socks to wear in the bigger scheme of things.

  3. Been doing 30-40 gigs per annum for many years now. Used to own lots of basses, now down to only 3. A 4 string PJ and 5 string JB which I will generally take to all the gigs, a Mono double keeps them safe. My 3rd is an acoustic that rarely gets used.

    I must say that I like having fewer basses, makes things much easier ;)

    Basses wear, it's all mojo imo.

  4. Yes, Dunlops, Schallers, Warwicks.... Personally I often use Dunlop flush mounts, least leverage on the screw but you can screw up your bass. Luckily I am quite handy and can install them myself.
