  1. Cheers Luke!
  2. How much does it weigh?
  3. Heh, I was looking at that very ad last night...
  4. Bladerunner by vangelis for me also and anything written by Lalo Schifrin.
  5. If it was a Tony Goggle signature bass, that's where the volume pot would go for the neck LEDs. The brightness control for the pickups would be located on the headstock. Although after 1993 they perfected wireless technology enough that the brightness control could be located at the back of the room, on the bar counter by the Old Rosie tap.
  6. Apart from the distortion, I love how tight his bass sounds. But I'm a little biased...
  7. Pulling the trigger on a $1.2 million gaff back in 1995 when he wasn't really established made me think is that his wife was on good money as a paedetrician. Of course with Fourplay's commercial success and Nathan able to command top rate (assuming that he wants to) for tours and sessions, I'm sure they're both laughing all the way to the bank now. Not sure I'd be very comfortable with a feature on where I live - would be like issuing an open invitation to burglars.
  8. None for me - all my sales have been made for the right reasons. Still kicking myself about letting the status necked musicman mongrel I put together go for silly money. A regular on here has is now and had it refinished in black,
  9. We posted this on the FB page also
  10. Welcome aboard Mike.
  11. 5751 valves in my Burmans have done the trick.
  12. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1420803705' post='2653562'] He could have thrown me a palm sander but what would I have learned using that? [/quote] How quickly you can f*** up a decent carved top. *cough*
  13. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1420793097' post='2653386'] This would be a great place to start. I think Jon runs a 3-day build-your-own-bass course which would not only give you a better idea of your abilities but also give you the chance to ask Jon's opinion. [/quote] Last course I did with him, he said he won't be running them in 2015. Too much build work of his own to do. Jon won't provide a qualification either. As has been suggested, a furniture course is the starting point if a specialist instrument course such as offered by the London metropolitan university aren't available. http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate-courses/ Martin Petersen did this course btw
  14. This is basschat though and 'I've already got one' has never been a defence against buying another.
  15. [quote name='green' timestamp='1420750410' post='2653095'] they were not only possibly connected, but SKC (who have the bogart model) made the necks for the early clovers. maybe you heard of jens ritter basses ? there were a few early models that had carbon necks, and those were made by SKC, too. [/quote] We had one of those on the forum for sale wayyyy back in 2007. It had a fluff finish too.
  16. Gosh - there's lovely. You have a good radio voice too.
  17. Good job Cetera hasn't seen this yet...
  18. FWIW Yamaha have [url="http://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/"]their own shop[/url] in Bond Street - which they took over from Chappells. It's easy to pop along and have a plunk on stuff if they have it in stock and the mood strikes.
  19. I've just realised I was standing next to him at Earls Court, waiting for a tube to Kensington Olympia at the last LGBS. There I was with a bass on my back and I didn't give him a second look. lol
  20. [quote name='green' timestamp='1420730421' post='2652717'] i'm not sure if kai eckhart used bogarts. i know that he used schack basses [/quote] Ah, you're right. My mistake.
  21. I tend to use a cigarette lighter...*gh*. It's great stuff but does need a little planning if doing multiple connections. I've lost count of the number of times I've finished a soldering job and realised I hadn't threaded on the heatshrink.
