  1. NOFX - Punk In Drublic - Those opening chords to Linoleum just get me really amped up! hearing it just puts me right back in the middle of the craziest mosh pit I ever saw. Just magic!
  2. [quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1449237148' post='2921846'] If I'm in the audience, I know I've been a bit annoyed when the bloke next to me films the whole set on his iphone, but if I'm on stage I'm happy to see a few cameras pointed at us - it suggests people might actually talk about us after the event, which is a nice thought! [/quote] I think that's the most annoying thing for me about going to a gig, I don't want to see the band through a sea of view finders. All so someone can have a blurry video with terrible sound quality. It really does bug me, I paid to watch the band, not your bloody phone screen
  3. I wish I could say it was a surprise . He was a great singer though, been listening so STP a lot lately and some of his stuff still blows me away. RIP
  4. [quote name='Frankieabbott' timestamp='1449151670' post='2921121'] What typically could the full purchase price of an item be that is selling for example for £100 on the Thoman website? Are there any 'unseen' charges? [/quote] I've never paid any more than the price displayed on the site, no extra charges at all. That being said, I've suffered a little on two refunds but that was the exchange rate not Thomann
  5. That place was great, used to love digging through all the bass gear. Used to find some really great used stuff and they were always helpful when ordering in lefty versions of basses for me. Really miss that shop!
  6. Hadn't heard of them before but google image searched and they look really good. Which colour did you get? the blue looks particularly nice.
  7. I thought so too until I actually looked into it. They've actually tried to make something different with some very interesting features that could be useful to musicians and audiophiles. Good luck to them!
  8. Congrats! that is stunning, I just love that. One of my favourite colour combinations and the maple board looks so nice. I'll be looking for something new soon, P/J would be nice and Maruszczyk are getting near the top of the list. The more I see of their gear the more I want one!
  9. Still absolutely loving that colour! such a good looking bass that
  10. Absolute steal, I don't even need another bass but if I'd been at my PC earlier I'd have been all over this!
  11. Maybe it'd help if they went a tad slower, maybe put bridges in the right place I would love another PM4, ideally I'd swap this bass for one of those. I really do like the TM4 but the Precision variant is even better. Despite the issue I've had with this bass the pickups/eq are really, really good. Stupidly easy to dial in huge range of sounds and the passive mode is just as nice.
  12. I was pretty surprised too! Thomann were great and said it'd be a two-four week turnaround via Sandberg with no communication update expected from Sandberg. That bit seems much less great. Hopefully they can put it right and then I can sell it and buy something else, I just can't seem to own any bass for too long without getting GAS for something else!
  13. To be fair the first two were damaged/used and sold as new by Thomann, only this one seems to be Sandberg at fault. I figured I couldn't possibly get three duff basses in a row from Thomann, you have to look pretty hard to find many people who've had bad experiences with them. Just lucky I suppose!
  14. Gah! not really used the Sandberg until recently and much to the surprise of myself and my tech it seems they installed the bridge too far back, not enough travel in the saddles to intonate it correctly. Thomann concur and they've sent it back to Sandberg for correction or a possible refund. Three Sandbergs in a row and an issue everytime! this is getting bloody annoying. I think they must have the YTS kid doing QC on the lefites On the bright side I dug out my first bass, my Encore E83 precision copy. Hadn't touched it in maybe sixteen years. Stripped it down, cleaned it, tweaked the truss rod, set the intonation and wow, I can't believe a bass that was only £130 to begin with that hasn't seen the light of day in so long feels and sounds so good!
  15. Uuugghhrr! bit too much junk in the trunk for my taste.
  16. I think that's one of the nicest Jazz variants I've seen, really great looking basses those
  17. Not a fan of the gold but loving the tort, blocks and matching headstock! Considered a tug bar? That'd look pretty sweeeet
  18. Skunk Anansie, the Mrs wanted to see them, I wasn't fussed but went along to keep her company. Cass's bass kicked in so loudly the security with their backs to the stage simultaneously jumped from the shock and he was worth the ticket price on his own! Great player, great tone and a very good night.
  19. RHCP at Reading were up there for me, I know it was the tail end of a long tour but there was nothing, endless uninspired jamming with zero chemistry. Marilyn Manson, I'm not really a fan but I've wound up seeing him a few times and at Leeds festival he was dire, contempt for his audience couldn't have been more obvious and he was clearly only onstage long enough to fulfil the contract. An absolute disgrace of a show.
  20. Stunning, really impressive work. The bass was a looker to begin with but wow
  21. I love the first album, front to back, I love every track on that album. Second was great, then little by little I've found less to like on each release and and really kind of lost interest in their current stuff. Seen them live many, many times, from their first tour to arenas and festivals and I've never seen a bad show. Nice to see Pat playing with them again as well. Would love Dave to get Them Crooked Vultures together for another album, always great to hear him drumming!
  22. I'd go with a section for community, only viewable to those with a certain post count and an open section for the non community sellers viewable by everybody. Being a lefty I didn't realise how many FS threads were 1/0 post Europe sellers with no interest in the community.
  23. I'm glad you had the courage to share, may help others recognise that they have a problem. Even better that you've battled through and are on the road to recovery. Good luck to you man!
  24. Dont over react whatever you do! I absolutely agree that what this guy is doing is poor form and I'd never do it but I don't believe it to be against either the law or ebays terms and conditions. Hopefully his items will remain unsold until he decides to price them more reasonably.
