It's not a JV that's had a hard life he he he

I was watching this one, partly because I live in Leeds and could have collected it. Would possibly have gone to C£300 which, given the condition and possible issues, I think is about right and would have kept me busy as a project for a while. I am now just intrigued to see what it reaches but in the words of Duncan Bannatyne, "I'm out". I wish em luck with the sale though

It was my birthday this weekend so decided to pull the trigger on a new bass. Been gassing for one of these for ages and there's something I really like about this one though it's a long way from being pristine. It was shipped today and may arrive tomorrow when sadly I am working away!!!!!! Hopefully then, either when I get home or Weds at the latest. Debuting Sat night. (just dug out a pair of black Schaller strap buttons to attach too.....) Gonna keep you in suspense but pics will follow shortly mwa ha ha.....

An antiqued brown harvest bass case. Blooming lovely

Check out this guy. [b] Tan My Hide - Leather Products in Hebden Bridge HX7 6HJ[/b] I have had a couple of straps made by him. He is a smashing bloke. Not expensive and you get to dictate all details, length, colour, style etc. His website is down but theres a phone number on Google. Worth a look. Andy

Just laughing then it dawned on me, I live in Leeds.....Lads? Lads? where is my cab?......

I'd have had it at £599. Now back on at £799. Reckon was a typo

Gotta get me a groove gauntlet like that!

Wizard. Goes down a storm.

[size=3][sub]I use the Taylor Musicians Gear Bag. Really good if a bit pricey. I ordered via Dawsons Music[/sub][/size]

I really like this track. Got chance to see em recently. Gave it a miss then heard Husbands on Radio 6 music yesterday and immediately regretted not going. Love it

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1384258002' post='2274469'] Quirky is good. I like Quirky [/quote] So do I, being called Andy Quirke I have to! Cheers Happy Jack. Bassmonkey

I love this. If it was in the UK and wasn't gonna cost me an extra £500 ti import, I would be all over it! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Music-Man-Stingray-Dargie-Delight-Limited-Edition-Bass-5-String-Martini-Inlays-/151155833625?pt=Guitar&hash=item233196fb19

Bought a Mackie monitor from Simon. The best packaging ever. Thoroughly nice chap. Happy buyer. Buy with confidence.

[attachment=146780:IMG_0225.JPG]Here are my Les Pauls. Love the shape, the tonal qualities and versatility. All really easy to play too. The right hand one is an old Antoria I modded (inspired by Neepheid). It looks nice and plays OK but not to the Gibson standard. Hope you like them. I am now Gasing for a Victory Artist.....

Agree, very sad.

The new surrounds have just arrived. Perfect. Am a happy chappy now

Yeah. It was your Epi that inspired me in the first instance. I upgraded an old Antoria first with EMG/Hipshot etc then hankered for the real thing and now have 3. I painted the rings but are already wearing. I then found a neck surround in Japan - £8.99 bargain. Asked the guy and he has a bridge one - same price. Just awaiting delivery BUT look at EBay - they are unbelievably expensive for a pair. £150+ blimey. Do think the bass looks better with black rather than cream additions. It is also a fair bit bigger than the other 2 LPs I have. No noticeable neck dive either

Played at The Olde Highwayman in Pontefract one time. Was a pub in the middle of a run so kept filling and emptying. Eventually only 2 people left. The guy gets up and I jokingly told him he couldn't leave, he replied that he was just off to the loo. A few mins later, he emerges whereupon his partner jumps up, grabs their coats and they both exited at top speed. I asked the barman what he wanted us to do, he says finish if you like so ended up back home by about 10 paid in full. Needless to say, didn't bother trying to get another date.

Yep. My wife was less than happy at mine living in the dining room between gigs. Even covering it with a table cloth and sitting a candelabra on top didn't appease her. You can't win can you?
