I used to tune B E A D on a four string, I would buy a five string set and not use the G

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1475593802' post='3147206'] From a prospective buyers PoV that is very off putting. IME organising a courier is easy, it's the packing bit that's difficult. A seller who isn't prepared to organise a courier in my mind probably won't have packed the item sufficiently. I send all sorts of stuff that I sell (and not just musical equipment) all over the world and have only had problems twice, once when a courier lost one part of a two parcel shipment somewhere between here and Japan, and another time when it was obvious that the parcel had been dropped in a very deep puddle. On both occasions the insurance claim was dealt with promptly and paid in full without quibble. [/quote] I don't want the stress or liability of being responsible for the courier, buyers are welcome to collect, or send a courier to do so on their behalf. I should probably add that I supervise the shipping department of a manufacturing company who export the majority of their products, so I have access to professional grade shipping material and expertise.

I'll post pedals, but anything bigger I'm willing to pack it for the buyer's courier to collect, but wont ship it myself. This is from dealing with couriers in a professional capacity, I don't want ultimate responsibility for the way a third party might (miss)treat a shipment.

Funny thing is with Cliff and Metallica, I remember reading somewhere that Cliff wanted to take the band in a more melodic direction post Master, so we'd have probably got The Black Album sooner, and not had Justice at all. I also read somewhere that they were planning on replacing Lars, but after Cliff's death decided it was too much upheaval in the band. So what's better - Cliff in the band and a new drummer but no Justice, or history as it played out? Apologies for the lack of citations in this post.

It was quite awkward trying to get the right angle with my phone, tried to smile, as you can tell it doesn't come naturally to me.

That's amazing, well done to all who organised and contributed to the event.

How many people attended in the end Nik?

I had to extract a punter from behind the drum kit last New Years, he didn't want to go, but a firm word and he moved.

Noisy John played my SB2 through his Mesa/Barefaced rig at the bash yesterday, sounded immense.

Couple of Wal videos http://youtu.be/_GDwdrNjWzs http://youtu.be/u88vhtRZO90 Paul was kind enough to let me play the Mk3 after this video, it was the best bass I've ever played; I plan to start saving for one, with the goal of owning one by my 40th (8 and a half years away)

What a fantastic day, first bash I've been to and hopefully not the last, thank you to Nik and the team for organising today

[quote name='ChunkyMunky' timestamp='1474703121' post='3139904'] This is going to be awesome. I hate to sound like a bit of an idiot but it seems I've misplaced my kettle lead for the Genz. Could I possibly borrow one for today at all, please? [/quote] I've a couple spares you're welcome to use

[quote name='tonewheels' timestamp='1474661446' post='3139764'] Could pop along tomorrow. What would be interesting out of - Korean/ European Spectors, Sire V7 Marcus Miller (if anyone wants to clock if these cheapos are any good), Bitsa Jazz Fretless, 1963 Hofner Artist, 1964 Ricky 4001S/Rose Morris 1999? Amp - could bring a BF One 10 and a GK MB Fusion 500. Probably couldn't make 10:00 though. When are the speakers? [/quote] Be cool if you could bring your MB Fusion, we could A/B it with my MB500

Awesome, knew there was an album coming but didn't know when.

The father of the guitarist of the band I was in at uni had one of these, don't know what model; it was very comfortable, light and sounded great....................I just can't get past the looks

I've got irrational 5-string Jazz GAS at the moment, really fancy a Lakalnd DJ 5 Baby number three due in December is putting paid to that though

Congratulations I've never seen your band, but I do recognise the name from many posters, I've just found the new album on Bandcamp so will give it a spin

Bossk - Audio Noir Brilliant post-rock/metal album

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1473505235' post='3130790'] Very dream theater sound to it! [/quote] Isn't that Jordan Rudess on keys?

We were at Butlins last week and they had a cracking Nile Rogers tribute show called The Hitmaker, the bassist was pretty handy, I'd certainly recommend seeing it if you go on a holiday there.

[quote name='christhammer666' timestamp='1473340807' post='3129297'] for me... akercocke 30th sept weedeater in camde in oct opeth at Wembley in nov [/quote] I was going to go to the Akercocke show, but can't justify it now I'll see them at Damnation; really glad they're back together.
