[quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1290880577' post='1039060'] I have about 3 and they are always good. i just wish they offered an orange seam to go with my new cab [/quote] I had one made for my Orange SP212 cab in black with Orange piping. Looks ace BUT fits like a bag of sh*te. Guess where from? BLOODY SILVERSTONE. Wish I had gone to Roqsolid, not least cos they're close to where I live too! Ah well - next time....

Yep - I can vividly remember my dad bleating about David Bowie on Top of the pops back in the early 70's - "who's this joker? I'm telling ya, in 6 months he'll have faded away and no one will know him. Not like the bands in the 60s".......er dad.....

Yeah we have em. Costs us £50 per year and are insisted on by larger venues. I have to send the certs when booking in advance although we have never had the equipment checked on the night for stickers.

Bought a set of Black Beauties from Kev. Great nick. Good guy. Happy buyer

I use the Sennheisser Freeport rack mount system. Lives in a 2U rack with my Korg tuner and a power rack. Sits between my Orange Terror amp and SP212 cab. Works a treat and have had it for 5 or more years. Has 4 frequencies. Never a moments problem. Have only had to replace th lead once. Never experienced any feedback/buzzes etc and love having no spaghetti around my feet.

I'm another older bass playing gent. Had my 50th in January and played the first hour adding in some of my faves which wouldn't usually make the covers set THEN my pal played bass for the second set and different mates (most of whos parties I'd previously played) took turms to sing one while I had a few beers and partied! Was an ace night.

Its a great hobby to have. Started in original material bands, after years of slog realised I was never gonna get the success I wanted. Stopped playing a while then asked to join a covers band. Tried it and loved it. Have no delusions over where it might lead but play to some amazing crowds, absolutely love it and even make a few quid to reinvest in new gear of course! Andy

What a smashing guy. Bought his USA Jazz. Agree - could have nattered all day, really friendly even made the coffee! See ya in the mosh pit Roon man! Andy

I bought a Taylor Gig Bag. Absolutely ace. Everything goes in. Loads of pockets. Keeps everything organised.

Yet again Will proves himself to be the nicest chap on Basschat. Bought his Geddy Lee Jazz. Great price, lovely guitar and easy, enjoyable transaction. Always a pleasure. Thanks Andy.

Is this being sold by Basschats own Big Red X? It looks ace, Not sure it's for me though. Good luck with the sale! Andy

Really liked that. A bit Goth a bit Garbage. Definite Nephilim/Mission sound going on

Beej in Leeds is quality. You can find him under the Old Chapel rehearsal studio. Andy

I recently played at my 50th birthday. I am the singer too so I played the first hour then a pal took over on bass and I had named mates singing individual songs for the second set. Was absolutely ace, after my stint, I relaxed and got squiffy while the guest singers and bassist rocked out. Definitely woud do that again. They all loved it.

Played a 50th birthday party in Leeds on saturday. The girls nephew was there aged 6. During set up kept asking for a go on my guilar. I let him have a twang at half time. Cameras out throughout the room. Of course he then wanted to play again so I grabbed a tambourine from the car. He then joined us as a guest member. Very cute, got loads of attention from the ladies in the audience. Think we might invite him to all future gigs!! Wasn't something we especially love doing but cost nothing and was really appreciated by the crowd. All left happy

Bought Dave's Ashdown Little Bastard rig. Absolute pleasure to deal with. Great item. Fab comms. Perfect transaction. Buy with confidence. Andy

Airborne toxic events' Some time around midnight. Love it but unlikely to make it into the set

Not really my cup of tea but I think that's a pretty bass. Good luck with the sale buddy
