I liked Gladiator by Hans Zimmer and particularly the tracks with Lisa Gerard on. Blackhawk Down was also in the same vein.

Thanks for the responses from everyone - I'll have a proper look thru over the weekend and get back to all. Just a quick note though, could anyone else who wants to respond please do it via message rather than sticky. It's easier to keep a record of and I think I've just deleted a sticky from 'status someone' by accident (please get in touch btw if it's you) Cheers

I need a few gigs covered this year. Mainly SW London/M25 area and particularly Oct 12 in Hounslow (that's the crucial one but it will generate more if you're the right guy/gal and we can look at dates to suit you). The bookings have gone nuts this year (60+) and I need to build some family time in. Rock Covers (more modern than classic though) - Martha and the Muffins thru to Metallica via Stereophonics and Bon Jovi. Great drummer and very tight band so it's an easy gig if you do your homework. Probably no rehearsal and just learn set from audio/video but it's an experienced band and they'll help you through. Equal 4 way split of money and we usually go out for £250/300 all in. Message me for more info if interested - thanks for looking......

You'll miss them when the interweb has killed them all off........no nipping in to solve last minute emergencies

Gator ProGo user here and very happy with it...... Great protection, a raincover, tons of storage and not too heavy And it has a one piece handle (i hate the two piece velcro together type ones :-)) https://www.thomann.de/gb/gator_g_pg_bass_guitar_bag.htm

You're keeping an idiot in the band because it means you can play 2 particular songs????? I've seen bands play both of those songs perfectly well without a keyboard player btw. Dump the geetard - they're 10 a penny usually and its only a matter of time before someone goes pop if you keep him, just look for someone more suitable. Dump the egotist keys bloke - you need to actually fit in the pub in the first place The other guitarist makes all the decisions - there's nothing like a democracy in a band. And that isnt........He needs to take your feelings into account. Do the new thing.......

Those Twitter responses are brilliant 😂

As above, it’s an Ashdown you need. I’ve had a couple and they’ll do exactly that fat plummy and a bit of grit sound. If you want a bit more definition and mid then go for the ABM600, it’s less whumpy than the 500.

It’s a bit odd that the central string spacing looks out of bonk (too wide) but the ferrule spacing looks too narrow. I tend to agree with Fretmeister above, it would be niggling me forever that I haven’t got what I think I bought. The low price points towards something not being quite right and I would walk away from it.

Wind the P pickup down and get the J pickup a bit higher - that'll help a bit

I can't stand them.......but it's a great watch and I enjoyed it. Theres a quote in there from someone saying the Gallagher brothers are the last of the great 'rock stars' and i think that's probably correct. Smashing stuff up, fighting and being generally hard work etc is proper rock and roll

I use a double bass drum pedal bag which i stole off our drummer - everything except bass, amp and cabs go in it. Padded and easily carryable. The one i have has a few extra pockets on the outside and i can fit my Pedaltrain Metro 16 board in it as a bonus. Sort of like these below.... https://www.thomann.de/gb/foot_pedal_cases.html?oa=pra https://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_doppelpedaltasche.htm https://www.amazon.co.uk/Protechtor-Percussion-10-inch-Double-Pedal/dp/B0002GFPAM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1516097746&sr=8-3&keywords=double+bass+drum+pedal+bag https://www.gear4music.com/Drums-and-Percussion/Tama-PowerPad-Double-Pedal-Bag/1GVY?origin=product-ads&utm_campaign=PLA+Shop+-+Tama&utm_medium=vertical_search&network=google&adgroup=All+Products.+Tama&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=68542d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=96390696131&gclid=CjwKCAiA4vbSBRBNEiwAMorER1hYLirVArYOxHWDdvLDccJsodpUZn7Hhhwt1fgEJkXRTfq2fEdBuhoC5MYQAvD_BwE

I think he's gone mug fishing......

Alter Bridge are doing it for me at the moment - the albums (old skool, see....) just seen to get better the more i listen to them.

Second last picture shows the curved body and the bridge pictures show it too. Its def spalted maple. I've played a couple of those and i seem to remember they weren't quite as curved as a Euro. Looks real to me. Its got a few lumps out of it and I've seen them go for £1500 in good nick so £1000 is a good deal if you don't want a minter.

Age 53 weekend warrior in a 4 piece rock covers band. Pubs and clubs mainly with a minimum of £250, most at £300 and a few at £400. Full time 50hrs a week job, tolerant and supportive wife, kids, dog. 53 gigs confirmed for 2018 and about 6 more waiting in the wings if we can fit them in. Might need some deps this year......

You're right there If I had been tricked into buying it I would have been delighted I think 😉

How did you get on there Happy????

He doesn't try to mislead anyone that reads the description though...he says exactly what it is

If you're anywhere near Essex/Herts you're welcome to pop round for a go....

My Lacquer Classic has a satin finish to the back of the neck although i think a previous owner may have wire wooled it. It isnt the same as the Road Worn neck - it doesnt have rolled edges - but it feels better (to me) than the Poly Classic 50. I played them all back to back within a week so got a pretty good idea of the comparison. There was hardly anything in it re the sound of them all but i just preferred the lacquer ones because i like beaten up basses- i was gonna try and grab a Roadworn on here but the Lacquer popped up significantly cheaper so i grabbed it and i'll wear it in myself. Its been started by the previous owners and its a nice thin finish so it wont take long :-) Oh and its black........i would have been happy with a burst RW but i dont like the red personally.

All 3 are still listed on the Fender site - the Poly, the Lacquer and the Roadworn. There's a couple of hundred quid between them as you go up through the range.

JINX!
