Thanks for all your help people Yeah I was thinking along the Vantage or SD Curlee lines. Kay eh? Well, I'm in now but I won't push it too far then.

They need to be more specific - I could mime chords but not sure I could mime the melody with a walking bass....

Surely, [size="4"]SURELY, [size=4]the wedding couple will move their date for you? They really need to come to their senses and realise that if they want to do the right thing they should move "their" big day to a Monday or Tuesday evening.[/size][/size] [size="4"][size=4]Some people are so selfish![/size][/size] [size="4"][size=4] [/size][/size]

Pnts [/quote] A Daion? Really? Do you have any pics? Did you sell on here?

[quote][font="Arial"][size="2"]This is the first one he ever made[/size][/font][/quote] No sh*t!

I saw this listing by chance, it's badly worded and doesn't mention the words Ibanez or Musician anywhere in the listing so it may go for cheaps!

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1330782055' post='1562923'] Now then..THATS a nice bass, [b]none of that 'relicing' malarky that totally shagged the Dusty Hill one[/b] [/quote] It's meant to look like that?? I thought the black one was just his old one that they based the sig model on!!!

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1331708339' post='1577368'] If I am playing a gig where I am unsure of the music and meeting new people etc , my stingray 5 is alway's my "go to" bass as i find the neck is just so easy to get on with [/quote] What, the one you're selling in your sig?

I would but you havnae posted the whole link!

I reported this at about 9.15am, let's see how long it takes for eBay to remove it.

[quote][font="Verdana"][size="3"]I gave the whole thing to a pro Luther, together with a set of EMG active pickups, who set it up nicely[/size][/font][/quote] Luther Vandross?

I've got a set of the Status tapewounds going spare. Let me know your address and I'll send them to yer.

Excellent news!

Wow, great stuff! Really rich and complex.

I'll be there with some chums too! Is there a BC discount?

[quote name='mr.noisy' timestamp='1330983106' post='1565917'] I bought today that thing - [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260968554265?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1497.l2649[/url] Anyone know what it might be? There is no logo and i have no idea. [/quote] I was after this! So apologies for bumping the price up....... It's a matsumoku I think, given the "Made in Japan" plate on the back. Let me know how it plays when you get it!

[quote name='LemonCello' timestamp='1330861173' post='1563815'] So here's the story. The band goes to a new studio Friday night for a couple of hours. Very nice too, big room and good kit. Rehearsal was good, we pay our twenty quid and off we go. Happened to go out without my mobile yesterday and when I got home 8 missed calls and a text from said studio "ring me back ASAP". I phoned back to be told "a Shure 58 has gone missing and you were the only band in last night, so you must have nicked it" "Whoa" I said, hang on a minute, where's your evidence? "You were the only band in so it must have been you" says he. Now I haven't been with this band long but we all work and I can't imagine for a minute that anyone's stolen anything. Unbeknown to me, he's also texted our guitarist, full of swearing and accusations of theft, gonna get the police involved etc etc. Anyway, long story short the band knows nothing about a nicked microphone and we phone him and tell him so. An hour or so after this, I get another phone call from the studio - he's discovered that his mate had taken the Mic home with him without telling him! To be fair, he did apologise, and so he should I reckon - just handled it all wrong! Question is do we go back? LC [/quote] +1 to a free practice. Which rehearsal rooms is it?

You send the bass before you've been paid for it?? You're the lovely chap not him...

Even if I don't believe I get stage fright anymore - my body does! There's been a few gigs where the band have been waiting on stage while I take a massive cr*p in the backstage bog....

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1330590684' post='1559733'] I'm great at meeting famous people because i never know who they are. I was at Glastonbury, in the beer tent on the edge of the pyramid stage, we was laughing at the P*ss police when a big fella opened conversation with me & a mate. we chatted to him for ages offering pointers at the lesser known bands & just basically having a laugh with a stranger. As we walked away my mate gushed at how cool i was when talking to him........i had no idea what he was on about. It was Jonah Lomu. Being from a Yorkshire thats a big deal......i just never recognize people until later. but i stand by my comment. people are just people But it was nice to meet such a friendly warm guy, who just happened to be talented at what he did. [/quote] My ex came back to the tent one morning at Glastonbury saying she'd had a lovely chat with a guy called 'Cyril' who'd played the guitar and sung a bit. A few months later we're watching the telly when she goes 'Oh wow! That's Cyril!' 'It's not Cyril' says I '- It's SEAL!'
