Do you think this is okay? I've tried to be as factual as possible.[/quote] Ideally this is the sort of thing you should be taking up offline, don't forget this IS a publically viewable forum and Basschat ranks fairly high in search engines for many bass related terms. I've edited the quote so just the facts remain, but it might be worth having a word to Syed (The Funk) too. I'm a little out of my depth on this one.

[quote name='s_u_y_*' post='178877' date='Apr 17 2008, 02:35 PM']Do we have a boycott on our hands. I've been spreading the message to other forums.[/quote] I suggest you be very careful about how you do that if I were you. There's a thing called defamation that can be applied if you're making any untrue claims about them.

Are they relying on court settlements as a source of income?! I've never heard of such a litigious company! EDIT: I think some of the demands made by Monster Cable's lawyers are outrageous!

here's another one, Cannonball. I remember this one used to get used a lot as incidental music on TV motor racing programmes as they drove around the track on a flying lap... ...it might have been on the Red Arrows performance as part of the Farnborough Air Show highlights as well [i] "and... ...here we are... ...cruising at an altitude of approximately 1300 ft and ...a speed of 650 knots as... ...we go into formation... ...for the first of 106 loops... ...Mrs Flight Lieutenant Sanderson has packed a nice chicken salad for having on the way... ...unfortunately she's put sugar in the flask of coffee... ...a court martial offence I believe in the days of the British Empire..."[/i]

Herby is one of the coolest guys on the planet - even playing a tuba wrapped in (mains) fairy lights...[/quote] Well crikey flip and call me Grandad, lets have a youtube clip of them. I wish they'd stand up and move about a bit but there's no faulting the musicianship.

I haven't had time to read through 9 pages, so sorry if I repeat: Dry Cleaner From Des Moines - Jaco and Joni Love Games - Level 42 You Keep Me Hanging On - Supremes (w/ James Jamerson) If Thats Your Boyfriend - Meshell Nedgeocello (although you could pretty much include the whole album Plantation Lullabies) You Make Me Wanna Holler - Meshell Nedgeocello Open Letter To A Landlord - Living Colour Toccata in Dm - Sky (with Herbie Flowers, I loved the drums and the bass on that whole Sky II album long before I even started learning a musical instrument. One day its going to be cool to like them again) U Make Me So Hot - Sunburst Band (with Julian Crampton) +1 Good Times - Chic (of course) +1 What's Goin On - Marvin Gaye (w/ Jamerson again) I thought about adding School Days by Stanley but he doesn't really groove like the others.

has anyone told her she's got a fan club on this forum?

he's got hitchhikers thumbs, I hate him.

lovely!

wow, thats a bit of a collectable. Nile Rogers reckons his lucite strat was fantastic for rhythm work.

Heheheh, good choice son! Lovely stuff!

F*** me! What happened to the Warwick endorsement then? LOL Fantastic stuff. Jon deserves as much support as we can give him. Top bloke!

[quote name='BigRedX' post='177861' date='Apr 16 2008, 01:35 PM']Did you sell it through the Bass Centre? I tried one exactly like that a couple of years ago and there didn't appear to be anything wrong with the neck at all. In fact if it hadn't been such a hideous colour I may well have bought it! ;-)[/quote] [quote name='Golchen' post='178023' date='Apr 16 2008, 04:42 PM']Yeah, it was in the bass centre. I went and saw it there but was also put off by the colour![/quote] Hehe, the colour wasn't to everyone's taste but some people on the forum liked it IIRC. Yes it got sold through the Bass Centre, it went pretty quickly as well - within 2 weeks I think. BTW, regarding the neck, although the fingerboard was planed, I had no way of knowing whether the neck would have continued to bow after I sold it on. Hopefully the neck has either reached some kind of equilibrium internally or gone to someone who likes medium to high action anyway.

we have a couple of lawyers on the forum I believe...

Wow, that was utterly amazing. I really wish others stood up to bullying tactics like that, but not everyone is an experienced lawyer.

[quote name='Golchen' post='177617' date='Apr 16 2008, 09:26 AM']I seem to recall that you advertised your dodgy neck fretless here a couple of years ago Crazykiwi. I almost considered buying it! Sure glad I didn't now![/quote] Do you mean the modulus? I ended up getting the fingerboard planed by Rob Green before selling it on. So I made sure the bass was capable of being set up well for the new owner.

Ped had an OLP with a status neck on it once. I think Dr Funk has it now.
