Congratulations matey! I loved my 55-01 while I had it

Eyup, is there a way to make the shop visible in mobile mode?

Al av a lanyard though when they're sorted!

I'm quite excited and I haven't watched the trailer yet...damn 'disabled on mobiles' type videos!

Here's a handy tip for those of you with infants at home...

Never - I repeat, NEVER - store your bass in the same room you use to change your baby's nappies.

This morning, my wife informed me that Skol Jnr had managed to wriggle off the changing mat (placed on the floor) and reverse his yet to be cleaned rear end into my bass, which was parked nearby.

The result? Not pretty nor pleasant, or so I'm told.

I'm convinced this is is some kind of 'dirty protest' and that he's destined to become a guitarist.

Live and learn people, live and learn.

I can only apologies for chuckling about the 'poo on bass' thing, we've got 3 under 5's and thus far I've never had any bodily substance on any of my guitars, I have been thoroughly hosed while nappy changing on a couple of occasions though! There have also been a few nervious moments while I trumped at during nappy changes too!

Guitars live in their cases in our attic room so well out of the way of jammy little fingers. I do have a very cheap and fairly nasty nylon strung guitar that I use for playing kids songs for them to sing to (dingle dangle scarecrow, sleepy bunnies, wheels on the bus, etc) that they can 'help' me play sometimes...it was nearly dead when I was given it (top and back parting from sides and a distinct fold in the top) so it doesn't matter if it gets bust

Having met an ACG in the flesh and really liking the filter preamp concept along with the craftsmanship and feel of the thing I'm going to set off into further exploring an ACG Recurve 5 [i]and[/i] a Letts singlecut fretless 5!

I think it's superb how many quality small builders we have in the UK and amazing to see the quality of their work!!

Well done guys!!

...met Stuart and his Recurve last sunday evening before his gig...great chat and some good quality time with his Recurve! Loved it, flawless workmanship! asymmetric neck profile is a superb idea!

I'm sketching out a shopping list of 'things I'd like to consider in [i]my[/i] future Recurve 5 spec' before I sell a kidney and start talking to Skelf in earnest...and hopefully make the pilgrimage to Moffat at some point too!

I'm sold!!

Welcome! Once you get the bug you'll be getting G.A.S. and then you'll have your nose stuck in the marketplace, perhaps lost forever!

Enjoy!

...am gonna chip in here, not that I've bought anything (or sold anything) to Stuart, he did however give me some of his pre-gig time so I could meet his beautiful ACG Recurve, we had a great chat about ACG and his bass, he gave me loads of helpful info and I left still wanting one!

...we had to stop talking when the bingo started though

Thanks for your time mate, it was much appreciated!

Devin Townsend too...

Arrived this aft, looks amazing (check out that board) and sounds seriously good too! A proper road test and some clips to follow asap.

Gorgeous!

Mmm will see our drummer.Can you let me know a price for all 3,thanks
[/quote]

Hiya, just checked on ebay and the most recent used but mint and complete with clip e604 went for £75 shipped (UK)

Adding them up at that comes to £220 shipped (UK) so...I could do £200 shipped (UK) for all 3 for the friend of a basschatter

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1342446592' post='1735107']
I'm happy with that.
[/quote]

I'll pull them both for now then matey...

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1342445632' post='1735059']
Very maybe possibly mate.
[/quote]

That would be most convenient for all concerned methinks if we could make that work!

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1342445169' post='1735040']
Might be interested in this mate. Could be used as part of your custom cost Andy. Not the deposit but final payment. A thought.
[/quote]

...a jolly good thought!

You wouldn't also be interested in a Rode NT1a would you? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/181466-fsft-rode-nt1-a-studio-conensor-mic-pop-shield/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/181466-fsft-rode-nt1-a-studio-conensor-mic-pop-shield/page__fromsearch__1[/url]

Are you interested in a trade for a nice rack multi-effect ?

Thanks for the offer mate but am not really into rack fx...hope it sells for ya though!

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1342436726' post='1734742']
it's true, this is a brilliant kick mic. I can get a great sound from most kick drums with little or no EQ or compression with this.

Thanks matey!

Got the album on Friday.

I love it! Not that much 'I WILL KILL YOU!' voice either

It's a superb album, there are some truly lush melodies and chord sequences, wickid riffs, world class playing and writing all round.

I played it to a friend last night, he made me keep playing it, he got serious thrills from it

Top work, Steve, I truly hope the band gets the recognition and success it deserves.

Cheers!

Mine arrived late last week but I only had my first chance to listen yesterday evening on my way to meet Stuart BassBunny, simply a superb album! shades of Dream Theater / Vai / Maiden / Iona, superbly performed and put together, (interesting thematic concept)!

Wasn't expecting it to be signed either! Thanks Stickman and buddies!!

Welcome indeed! (also in Sheffield)

The guy in Borknagar plays an 8 string fretless which is pretty crazy. I think he is only on the album Universal.
[/quote]

Holy moley!

Obscura sound amazing too, not a clue what they're growling after but the musicians are awesome! Love the 6 string fretless thumb!

I bought a Hartke Bass Attack DI/Preamp. I use it for practising at home with headphones (through a mixer) but I can also use it to go straight to a PA. There are lots of similar solutions---Sansamp BDDI, Behringer BDI21, DHA vt1-eq-bass-drive, etc.

If I were you I'd keep the WEM and get one of them.

This...more or less...

Stickman on here plays fretless in his metal/prog band Linearsphere

My alesis io26 was bought intending to do loads of recording, drums and all but it didn't happen and now we have kids I doubt it will...

All I've ever done is prattle with bass or guitar/vox which has only ever used 2 of the 8 Mic inputs!

It's time to clear the top of my drawers and probably get a more appropriately sized interface, maybe an io2...

Comes boxed as new and with a firewire cable...

Wildly they're selling for about £190 shipping on eBay just now which, given it was 2 hundred and something new seems a bit bonkers to me!

...so, £160 shipped (UK only)

pics to follow...(some stock ones for starters)
