    Not happy.......NOT happy.....I'm trying to thin the herd and have just sold one bass today! Last thing I really needed was this to come along....... Whats the body thickness? Is it fitted with recessed straplocks? Does it come with a hard case? Does it come with a free, no-quibble excuse for my wife?

    [quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1403177771' post='2480480'] ... my plan was to hang it off the back of the PA speaker..... [/quote] Careful, PA speaker = big magnet = trashed data storage on your tablet. I too am interested in a set list app and have found "Setlist helper and songbook" on Play. Only read the details so far but keen to see if it does what I need it to

    What were you not happly with the Mackie sub - sound, volume, clarity, punch? Does it need to be powered or are seperate speaker / amp an option?

    If you go for the golf bag we do expect you to dress in the same vein for your gigs....lol Pictures will be required.

    I use a "golf bag" bag. 6 mic stands, 2 speaker poles fit in easy. It has lots of padding, big zip opening, strong handles and wheels on the bottom for ease of moving. Something like this <£20 [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PADDED-GOLF-BAG-FLIGHT-TRAVEL-CASE-COVER-WITH-WHEELS-LIGHTWEIGHT-HOLIDAY-NEW-/321201766470?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Golf_Bags&hash=item4ac91e0046"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ac91e0046[/url]

    Its also on Glumtree for £3,500. I'm not so sure about the left handed neck on it though....looks odd to me.

    Deja Vu Works in both languages, you're doing covers so its all stuff people have seen before .....hey didn't that just happen? I could offer to licence (for a grand total of nothing) a variation on my bands name "Groove Creuse" Détendre (kick back / relax) [size=4]à l'abri (under covers)[/size] [size=4]Copie Chat (copy cat - ideal for covers)[/size] [size=4]Mike[/size]

  21. Acebassmusic
    Fingers crossed

    Although your based in France I'm sure there some similar EU type law / guidance / ruling whatever they call it that we apply in the UK regarding "fit for service". If a TV or washing machine goes but within 5 years, although its out of the initial 12 month warranty, you can argue that its not fit for purpose and get a replacement. I would check on this and get back to the supplier arguing that mics under normal use should last more than 3 years. Might be worth a try.

    Just bought a DR Bass cab off Alan. I think he made a mistake and sent me a brand new one because this one looks too good! Very easy deal to do and lightning fast shipping. Thanks again.

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1399971186' post='2449378'] There seems to be quite a bit of resentment coming out in a few of the posts on this topic. I'm closer to the end of my playing career than where I began. That fact alone makes me quite sad, but I have quite a few years ahead of me to enjoy yet. I have a few basses, only a couple of which could be arguably considered high end. I don't consider them to be, but others might. None are custom to my spec, so I don't look at them that way. I have worked and played bloody hard over the years to earn the money to pay for what I have. I am considering ordering a Wal, which I guess some would consider "high end". I will pay for it outright with my own money, which I earned. It might have gold hardware. It might not. It might have a quilted maple top. It might have an ebony fingerboard. I don't know. I haven't decided yet. I know I'll have fun putting the finer details together if it happens and I know I'll enjoy playing it even more. I also know that I won't give a flying f*** what anyone thinks of me when I turn up down my local with it for a Saturday night pub gig. I'm not a postman and I don't have a swimming pool.

    Price drop : Now down to [size=5][color=#FF0000][b]£1,650 [/b][/color][/size][b] [/b][b] [/b]plus shipping For sale or trade is my original USA made Conklin Sidewinder Custom “melt-top” 5 string. Lovely bass and I have enjoyed our time together but I’m looking for a change…… I bought this bass from the original owner in the States and have played it for just over 2 years. It was built for him in 1992 and although this is a 22 year old bass I would give it a 9.5 / 10 for condition. No major dints or marks that I can see only some slight surface “scratches” on the battery cover which I couldn’t get to photograph! Bartolini passive pickups Bartolini XTCT-LZ tone control module handling treble, mid and bass Bartolini DTA1.3 dual buffer preamp which controls the volume and blend controls 9 volt electronics 5 piece neck through construction String spacing at bridge 18mm Nut width 48mm Scale length 34” Ebony fretboard 24 frets Gold hardware I believe the melt top is a combination of flamed cocobolo and flamed maple Neutric locking jack Edge mount fret markers Weight 10lbs Serial number 8110-01 Flight case Most Conklins you see in Europe are the Groove Tools Korean models. Have a look at some of the crazy work they do here: [url="http://www.conklinguitars.com/"]http://www.conklinguitars.com/[/url] Trade wise I'm pretty much sorted for basses at the moment but ones I could be interested in are Fodera Emperor, Mayones Jabba Custom, JCR CM or ST, Shuker, Alembic Rouge (only if it weighs less than a small planet....lol), Sei Flamboyant etc. It would need to be a 5 string with active electronics, 24 frets, 17 / 18 mm spacing and strangely enough I do like a highly figured wood top.
