The quality of puns here has diminished.

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1379680975' post='2215645'] Hmmm.... So natural and matched are level pegging at this point...... I think they're better than the black, with natural still just edging it I think (which was my original choice before the doubts (and price) crept in!) Although the more I look at the black, it ain't too bad. Currently awaiting news from Sandberg on how exactly it costs them more to produce a natural headstocked version........ [/quote] I've just put the matched ahead sorry! It may be that they've got necks already made up with black headstocks that they're trying to get rid of.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1379590992' post='2214485'] Because all Westones do go for very little, these days ! They are all hugely undervalued IMO. The fact that you can buy a used THunder 1A for the same price as a used Squier Affinity is just laughable IMO. The quality is in different universes. And, yes, your point is still valid, I do not know this seller's reserve but my guess is that it's not exactly a fortune. [/quote] Shhhh! Don't tell everyone or the price will go up!

[quote name='mikey_reed' timestamp='1379258759' post='2210438'] Hi I've just spotted your add. I am a 27 (nearly 28 year old bassist) with BVs looking for Middle East work. My other half lives in Qatar but is relocating to Dubai so I would be very interested in any long term contracts you have. I do sing BVs and have over 15 years of gigging experience. Doing touring theatre shows, cruise ships Middle East hotels and all the rest. Available November the 6th, please feel free to have a look at my website www.mikeyreed.com or get in touch to my email [email protected] if you need any more info. Thank you [/quote] Not my ad old chum!

We're playing in Gwdihw tomorrow - come down cos it's going to be immense!

Dwayne Dolphin??? Wow!

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1378546001' post='2201603'] I play mainly for fun and for free in what was a trio and is now a 4 piece, which has given us a really good sound. The transition from 3 to 4 band members is more difficult than I imagined. All of a sudden it is harder to find a time when we can all practice and get together and play. That in means we want a decent amount of stage time when we meet up and larger gigs. This means need to spend money on gear and promotion. My point is that the larger the band the more dificult it is to ignore the money element. If we can get the balance right it will have fun and make money but its not an easy path to tread! [/quote] Spare a thought for me trying to herd the members of our 10-piece band who aer all in another 2 or bands each!

Welcome! What's your band called and are you in Cardiff soon?

INCREDIBLE groove on this. Finding it tricky to nail - it's like bass jelly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uG3TxD-EU6I

Ooo 4 strings and I'd be all over this!

My brother's girlfriend ran off with the guitarist.

[size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Just got back from playing a dep gig at Boomtown - amazing festival![/font][/size] [size=4]Played on the Friday at about 10pm and the tent was packed from about 2 songs in.[/size] [size=4]About 1500-2000 people, easily the biggest gig I've done. On-stage sound was a bit dodgy and the[/size] [size=4]over-exuberant singer [/size][size=4]kept backing me into the smoke machine (not much room with 13 on stage!)[/size] [size=4]but it was amazing fun.[/size] [size=4]We then got invited to play a tequila bar the next night at 5am! This was a tiiiiiiny place and we were killing it but 3[/size][size=4] songs in security pulled the [/size] power as the music license stopped at 4am. Undeterred we just did the rest of the set barber shop style with everyone just singing their instrument's parts - went down a storm! Utterly utterly ruined now though. [size=4] [/size]
