  1. [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1342784282' post='1740854'] Funny how experiences vary. I've bought a fair amount of stuff from Allparts UK and they've only messed up twice. On both occasions they sent an incorrect component - a truss-rod box spanner of the wrong size and - later - a jack-socket plate of the wrong shape. Both times they told me to keep the parts (which I used on other projects) and sent me replacements within 24 hours. In respect of delivery times, one assumes they're at the mercy of the US end of the operation and therefore tell customers what they've been told themselves. As with all these retailer issues, one's mileage may vary. I've bought regularly from most of the UK online parts shops (shopping around for prices is always fun) and they've all had problems at some point. [/quote] I had similar issues when ordering a Moses jazz neck. Three shipments missed. Moses were apparently to blame because they might have been moving premises around then (according to Steve Moses) and when the neck finally did arrive, All-parts gave me a free t-shirt by way of apology. It may well be that they get dicked about by US distributors because they're not a big enough client to be a priority if stock is a bit thin on the ground.
  2. [quote name='razze06' timestamp='1342785287' post='1740881'] Hey Kiwi, More welcomes from the burgh! [/quote] Lets hope this doesn't lead to confusion
  3. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1342690357' post='1739236'] Tuba Smarties... say no more. [/quote] The best track!
  4. Herbie seemed embarrassed about it. I didn't care though. I liked his playing on Toccata in Dm while I was still a drummer... ...hmmm. Yep I need to quit while I'm ahead.
  5. Sky 2 - takes me back to pre-teen days before we shifted to NZ.
  6. I like the sound. Not sure if its the amp or the cab but its very natural. I can see why jazz players would prefer these amps.
  7. ...plus the Bee Gee's, Stayin' Alive. So cheesy its got to be worth a parody? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY[/url]
  8. These are my favourites: OK Go with the treadmills [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA[/url] And Feist [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABYnqp-bxvg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABYnqp-bxvg[/url] All done in single shots as well - so no mistakes allowed with the choreography...
  9. I'm a complete noob when it comes to Smart phones. I had one of the XDA Execs when they came out originally but my current mobile is 6 years old and thats how I prefer it at the moment. No GPS. What would the best Basschat app help people do?
  10. [quote name='essexbasscat' timestamp='1342460971' post='1735564'] Ah, that's really sad to hear. Bob played one of my favourite bass lines - Midnight Train to Georgia, so melodic. A real loss. [/quote] Oh wow, was that him? That line is [i]beautiful[/i]! One of my faves, I used to love playing it.
  11. We're nearly there. Just in the process of testing it...
  12. It might be a lose connection between the power socket and the PCB. The pedals are renowned for this. For a while Akai would do some kind of strengthening repair but now they won't touch them.

    Sold thanks

    That's what Doug said too. He came to terms with being northern though.

    Keep it. Risk being a little posh. It's good enough for Doug Wimbish.

    [quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1342126791' post='1730202'] In my everlasting quest for the ultimate bandname. I always stay away from the word white. I always feel it could be taken as a supremacy statement, wrongly or otherwise. Did that cross your mind? It's a great word but I could never use it. [/quote] White Stripes?
  17. Grimsby? Llllllllllllllllllluxury. We can only afford to park the BC caravan in a derilict industrial estate car park, on the outskirts of Barnsley at best.
  18. My experience is at odds with my aspirations. Would love for pickups to be more than they actually are. But I've tried so many over the years (expensive and cheap) and there's not a lot of difference. They're a fairly crude way to manage tone and character still comes down to the instrument and how you play it. I'd really like to try a set of Lollar jazz pickups though, all the same.
  19. What?! Who organised this? Why wasn't I invited? I'm so alonnnnnnnnnnne...
  20. Is it leather from these moroccan goats? Gotta be a joke in there somewhere, buggered if I can think of it right now though.
  21. Foal's L2 is a little fuller and mellow in the highs than my XL25 but the differences are not significant enough to make a difference to a live gig. I would agree with the initial posts about the differences between the streamliner and an XL2 but to argue one is better than the other is futile.
