[quote name='Mike Brooks' post='235562' date='Jul 9 2008, 10:55 AM']Actually, the white Warwick Thumb fretless used by Prince at The Brits in 1997 belongs to Bob Skeat of Wishbone Ash and is currently for sale at The Bass Centre, unless Bob has collected it. But it is for sale. If anyone is interested in it, PM me and I'll pass your details onto Bob. Mike[/quote] I hope he didn't treat it like he treated this one:

the crackle is probably being caused by contact between two metal surfaces both on the signal path.

Putting on my admin hat for a sec, I just want to say its great to see self moderation in action here. Respect t' y'all.

[quote name='silddx' post='234368' date='Jul 7 2008, 06:32 PM']Good one! Big Sister's Clothes is another Brucie beauty. And yip, almost anything by the Police, completely agree and was thinking that earlier.[/quote] +1 on Bruce Thomas - vastly understated player. He's a very modest player but his lines are highly lyrical.

[quote name='bassicinstinct' post='233933' date='Jul 7 2008, 09:13 AM']Don't tell the wife!! [/quote] Claire might possibly empathise with your wife quite strongly.

On reading the thread title, I mistakenly thought of Thing from the Addams family.

Petty much anything by the Police.

[quote name='AREA' post='233691' date='Jul 6 2008, 06:20 PM']I think, I like your female Singers... :wub: :blush:[/quote] [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='233710' date='Jul 6 2008, 07:10 PM']Me and you both mate!! [/quote] Well, I'm seriously thinking about leaving the band so if you both move to London I could get you an audition. I believe Claire (front and centre in the second shot) is single so you might be in with a chance if you smell right to her.

[quote name='Rumble' post='233746' date='Jul 6 2008, 08:13 PM']Are SWR warmer than Eden?? I always thought they had a reputation for being brighter? When I think about 'warmer' amps I start thinking Ampeg and Ashdown. Would this be true to say?[/quote] I'm inclined to think the opposite The Edens have a bit more midrange to them too - especially the WT400/500/550 models. I also agree Ashdown are warm sounding amps but some of the models have sounded a bit woolly and grungy to me. Ampeg are grungy as well but I was fairly happy with the B4 solid state head I borrowed recently. Sounded quite even to my ears although the high end wasn't super hi-fi.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='233650' date='Jul 6 2008, 05:09 PM']I'll take one.[/quote] Cool, drop me a PM with your details or let me know if you're going to collect it.

[quote name='overwater#1' post='233636' date='Jul 6 2008, 04:05 PM']Is courier definately not an option.. surely I could afford that, I know I can't afford much.. [/quote] The problem for me is that I can't get anything bulky to work on the underground for collection from there. Couriers won't guarantee to collect at a specific time so I can't really take off time from work to be at home when they do arrive. Sorry mate, would love you to have it.

[b]Logitech Quickcam[/b] Looks a bit like this: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Quickcam-Chat-Headset-White/dp/B000YFVB9U/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1215354388&sr=1-4"]http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Quickcam-Ch...4388&sr=1-4[/url] However the stand is a slightly improved design. It's USB, fixed focus and works fine. Drivers can be downloaded off the site but it doesn't work with Windows Vista. Can post for approximately a fiver (will need to confirm costs) or collection is fine.

Can post for about a fiver or collection is fine

Looks like this: I bought it in 1999, and it includes the cables, remote and I think I even have the original box somewhere. Obviously its a bit dusty but it all works fine. Collection only please. More giveaway stuff coming soon...

OBBM would be the man to ask. He was instrumental in persuading John to build it.

I've owned both an Eden WT800 and an SWR Basic350. The Eden eq is one of the best in terms of functionality but how about trying an SWR head? They're very mid-scoop coloured like the Edens if you like that sound and definitely warmer. Good for using with jazz basses and Modulus Quantums in particular. You probably won't get as much Stingray honk out of it though.
