Greg just bought my EHX Enigma Q-balls - he loves those filters doesn't he! No-fuss payment and exclellent communication - I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1357657901' post='1926125'] ok then - second chance offers... [url="http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/second_chance_offer.html"]http://pages.ebay.co...ance_offer.html[/url] NOT outside of eBay. [/quote] Oh, I know you're not supposed to do it outside of eBay but that's what I'd do.

Cancel the auction on the grounds of him not abiding by the auction rules and then sell to second highest bidder outside of eBay. Knock a few quid off for him and you'll still be better off through not paying fees.

Bit of a bargain Aria Pro II - not sure which model, SB700 perhaps? - for and N.I. Basschatters. [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/aria-pro-ii-bass-guitar/1006181775"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/aria-pro-ii-bass-guitar/1006181775[/url]

That's been reported and pulled too.

I think you should swap your T-40 for my nice, light, Roasdstar II, then your back will be fine!

Your friend has excellent taste so I can see why he'd only want that one! FWIW I've always had a back up bass on stage and never needed it. About 2 months ago I'd sold a bass and was waiting for my new one to arrive so I didn't have a back up and guess what happened? Yep, the E string snapped half way through the gig! Luckily my mate had just finished gigging in the venue next door so I legged it there to borrow his!

Pretty sure at 3.07 it says 'Tone Works' on the headstock.

Wow. How have I not heard of Richard Bona before????? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jmjBXoyugM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jmjBXoyugM[/url]

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1356185583' post='1907742'] We played our gig at The Claude, Cardiff last night. A place that we play regularly and usually the punters are quite well behaved in there. But, due to it being Black Friday (or Mad Friday) most of the pub were already wasted when we got there at 6.30pm. That set the tone tone for the rest of the evening. Two massive fights broke out whilst we were playing. One at the back of the pub which no-one really noticed, but a huge fight broke out by the entrance (which is close to the stage) between 4 of the door men and a bunch of lads trying to force their way through. No thanks to my singer, he directed everyones attention in the pub to the mini riot happening and piled out as quickly possible to have a gander....which then developed into a street brawl outside for about 20mins. We have a gig on Boxing Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day...all at rugby clubs!! Should be interesting to see how much more claret will be spilt over those three evenings! [/quote] I live over the road from The Claude and at least once a week there's a police van outside!

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1356185823' post='1907745'] We used to play that song in our set a few years ago, but it used to empty the dance floor for some daft reason even though we made it funkier and a tad bit quicker. Philistines! [/quote] I think I'm gonna take the challenge and see if we can make it work...

If our keyboard player is anything to go by, the best thing is the constant supply of drugs and the worst thing is... the constant supply of drugs. There's a good thread on the subject here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173458-got-my-first-cruise-gig-starting-on-sunday-advice-please/page__st__20__p__1618647__hl__cruise__fromsearch__1#entry1618647

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1355765903' post='1902455'] This has never happened to me. Because I knew before I bought any given bass that it was good. Because I tried it before I bought it. You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it. Don't buy a bass without playing it first. BTW, the Kingbass doesn't hang right on me, no matter what I do. Even Dawn agreed. I bought a Streamline instead. And it rarely gets played because i) it has one string too few, and ii) no matter how good it is, it's just bland-sounding. [/quote] Surely you tried the Streamline out before you bought it?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1355965662' post='1905221'] At risk of seeming humourless, I totally agree with these posts. Mr Percy should be allowed to advertise for a bass player as he sees fit, without let or hindrance - and as a member of Basschat he has every right to do so. [/quote] True, however he would have been wise to search Basschat for references to his Gumtree ad before posting perhaps...

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1355852482' post='1903701'] The guy had apparently recorded with Tim Rice so something somewhere was wrong. [/quote] I thought YOU were Tim Rice!

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1355835970' post='1903321'] OP, you don't really come across very well in that post at all. So the guy is a bit of a bore, and lacks tact. So he doesn't play as big gigs as you do. It would be one thing to politely tell him there is no place for him on stage, and another thing altogether to come onto the internet and post a lengthy post about your own perceived self worth, how much of a dick he is, how much gear he has, and all the while crawling around your guitarist mate's arses. [/quote] +1 I'm afraid. Also, [quote/] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I think this sums him up perfectly - "Jimmy Page was 21 when he wrote 'Stairway to Heaven', I could play it when I was 18 - I think that says a lot..."[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/quote][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Is lifted from somewhere- possibly Spinal Tap so it suggest he may be having some fun with you[/font][/color]
