    All spoken for now apart from the one with the woven stripes - any takers?

    Sorry folks - you need to PM me with any requests if you haven't already done so, as I don't get notifications when posts are left on the thread.

    I'm having a bit of a clear-out, and I've discovered I have some unwanted straps of varying style and condition... well, two nearly the same, but all surplus to requirements. Brands are TGI, 2 x Levy's, and an unidentified one with a rather fetching woven motif. All have had some degree of use, some more than others, but all still perfectly serviceable. First come, first served. One strap per member. Payment by bank transfer, or PayPal at a push, if you send it as a gift to avoid their charges, or cash on collection from near junction 10 of the M25. OR, make a £10 donation to Bass Chat and if Ped can somehow confirm to me he's received it (?) I'll send out the strap of choice to the good-hearted individual involved! Dave Can't seem to upload photos at the moment, so they're on Photobucket here: [url="http://s1141.beta.photobucket.com/user/lowwregisterhead/media/IMG_2415_zpse48d9957.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0"]http://s1141.beta.ph...html?sort=3&o=0[/url] ONLY ONE LEFT (THE BOTTOM ONE IN THE PHOTO WITH THE WOVEN DESIGN) - I'll do it for a fiver!!! And the last one has left the building... thanks folks!

    I bought one of Lou's many Letts basses - and it's a beauty! Lou was great to deal with, and went way beyond the call of duty and actually came to my house with the bass to let me try it out to make sure I was happy with it. A real gentleman. Buy/sell/trade with complete confidence. Thanks Lou!

    Did a little deal with Nico a while back now (sorry for the delay leaving this). He is a pleasure to deal with - communication was excellent, and he was utterly trustworthy throughout - buy/sell/trade with confidence. Thanks Nico!
  17. lowregisterhead
    Thanks for that - I will look into it :-)

    Apologies if this has already been covered (I did a search on BC, but didn't turn up anything) but does anyone make a bag or protective sleeve for the EBS Reidmar? I currently carry mine inside a small holdall with jack, speakon and power cables, guitar stands etc., and I know it's only a matter of time before something does it damage. I did see something on Roqsolid's site called a powerbag, but it looks like a full-sized bag in its own right. Alternatively, does anyone make a padded partitioned bag of suitable dimensions for the Reidmar and all my other tat? Thanks in advance Dave

    In my experience there are no hard and fast rules that work in every situation - one person's recreational use of any drug, legal or otherwise, on a weekend can have no effect on their ability to function as a normal human being (I know, define 'normal') whereas to someone else the same level of ingestion will take them down a slippery slope almost immediately. So legislation or lack of it will suit some, but not most scenarios. To quote Gore Vidal on another, perhaps not completely unrelated topic: “There is no such thing as a homosexual or a heterosexual person. There are only homo -- or heterosexual acts. Most people are a mixture of impulses if not practices.”

    [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1356611423' post='1911589'] Most of your favourite music (and art in general) was probably created by people on drugs - just a thought [/quote] Oh yes, how very true! I particularly like Bill Hicks' take on this subject... :-))

    [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1356605731' post='1911501'] No need , I would imagine the bassist from his own band will do that at some point. [/quote] True - I hadn't thought of that. I feel better already! :-)

    [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1356534366' post='1910839'] From personal experience I highly recommend you check out Laklands. My Darryll Jones was superior to any Fender jazz bass I ever owned or played...including some nice vintage models. Lakland also used to do a Joe Osbourne jazz..they were highly regarded also. [/quote] +1 for Laklands. I also have a Skyline Series Darryl Jones, and it's exceptional. Pick one up second hand, stick a John East preamp in it (very easy to fit yourself) and you'll have a bass that will knock spots off the vast majority of Fenders, IMO.

    Just an idle thought, prompted at least in part by Lee Sklar's assertion in Kiwi's interview with him that he's "...never had a drink or drugs..." (I don't disbelieve him, incidentally, but in the music world that's pretty exceptional, in my experience). Suffering as I am from cabin fever/withdrawal symptoms stranded overseas over Christmas visiting the wife's relatives without a bass or a gig in sight, what constitutes real addiction? Is there such a thing as acceptable drug use, for instance if the drug is music? It could be said that being involved in music is bad for you physically and mentally on several levels: late nights, bad food, poor environment, harsh criticism and (un)warranted adulation by turns, risk of substance abuse due to all of these factors, etc. Just because something gives you pleasure, if you suffer withdrawal when removed from it, should you therefore be trying to break the addiction altogether? Is music an addiction? Discuss.

    And on a more personal level, during a pause in our sound check at a corporate event, the guitarist of another band on the gig walks past me and says, with heavy sarcasm: "Ooh. 5 strings. Gosh." I managed to resist the near-overwhelming urge to pin him to the ground and break his arms...

    Gormless female singer, after someone suggested we put 'Soul Man' in the set: "I really don't want to do that, it's so cheesy 80's..." Me and guitarist, in unison: "No, the original by Sam and Dave" G.F.S.: "Who?"
