    Can you tell what it is yet?...

      A timeless classic. Sat in the DeLorean at a technical conference I was at in Austin in April. The resizing jacket and hoverboard were there too. Got pics but lost them when I had to reset my work iphone for forgetting the pin code I reset while in an inebriated state on same said trip...

      is that the ACG?

    4. Bigwan

      Bigwan

      Entirely unrelated Luke! 

      As in yes it's for a bass, no it's not ACG related!

  2. That feeling when you've placed a "wanted" ad, it's been 10 minutes and NOBODY HAS RESPONDED!!!

      Just wait until it's 10 months old ad on a dating site... 😞

      I’ve got one...

      I know Luke. But I don't think my budget is THAT flexible... 

  3. Currently GASing for a neck through Warwick Thumb 5 string... It's either @Kev's fault, or I've been listening to too much Ryan Martinie this week... or both...

      If you are flexible on the neck through, there is one in London that could fit the bill. On the Bass Players Market UK Facebook page. (No connection to seller, just acting on the coincidence of seeing a Thumb being mentioned twice in quick succession!)

      It'd have to be the neck through for me...

      "Welcome to try it if I buy, but I'm not exactly next door to you!"

      Thank you.  I was really only pulling your leg.  Who knows though?  We might meet at a Bass Bash or other music related event so I may get to call your bluff after all.

      I wish you luck with your GAS.  May it not involve a second mortgage.

  4. Slightly unexpected PPI windfall... Pay off CC or go nuts... What to do?

      Pay off the card. The feeling of a cleared debt is wonderful, whereas buyer's remorse on a debt-fuelled purchase is a hideous thing.

  5. Played a Fender Original 50s Precision yesterday in Guitarguitar Glasgow... VERY impressed...

      I'd be more interested in the Original 60s to be honest, but they didn't have one to try in GG... I intentionally stayed away from the CS stuff they had!!!

      Those rolled edges are exactly what you get on proper vintage - it's just part of the effect

      It was my first bass, albeit back in the late 80s when they were "made in Japan" models. It got sold off years ago and I decided to get a replacement once I was back on my feet, opting for another Japanese Fender 50s P-bass. Interestingly the Japanese models now (or mine at least) don't have that wide neck, opting for a more conventional C shape. I did like the old neck but mine is still pretty cool.

  6. Having just seen the trailer for "The First Purge" I was wondering - do you ever wish you had a time-limited free pass to respond to some posts on here with your first reaction?

      Oh wait sorry - my free pass has expired. :(

      This Purge thing, is that where for 24 hours everyone can kill eachother etc without police intervention? Sounds like an average football match.

      I often wish it was a cartoon world and things like safes or pianos could fall on some folks heads but not kill them of course. Just cause a fantastic array of stars and an 18 inch bump on their heads for a while!

  7. First time checking out Tesseract. Lovely.

  8. What? With a few changes a Joyo British can be made into a VT Bass-a-like?! Joyo British incoming then!

      Well you know me G, always up for a tinker!

      Well, I mean - how many overdrives is too many overdrives, right?

    4. Bigwan

      Bigwan

      I don't believe there's any such thing as too many overdrives... It's like saying I've eaten to many buns! Nonsense!

  9. Does anybody have an Ashdown CTM15 schematic?

    1. Sibob

      Sibob

      Tried speaking to Ashdown? They're very helpful, with excellent customer service usually. Even if they don't offer a schematic (it is their IP of course), they may offer to help with a repair.

    2. Bigwan

      Bigwan

      Not needed for a repair Si. As Baldrick would say "I have a cunning plan"... One I don't think Ashdown would be interested in assisting with!

      Ah gotcha haha

  10. Don't go to see Justice League. It's a bit poo...

      A bit poo, or really poo?

      Wasn't Gal Gadot able to save things with her amazing thunderous thighs???

  11. For the love of God folks, update your profile with your location...

      @discreet - if HMRC find you, tell them you're a millionaire, and your official residence is in the Channel Islands! ;)
      ..... they'll probably give YOU money then.....
