Fiddler in a Barn? Was that the Jazz version?

I was always liked songs by Fish for that reason

Fiddler on the Roof: 'If I was a rich man'?

[sub]You can see the hours of work that have gone in to it to give a flawless finish[/sub]

Lordy, she has changed her image!

and Tiny Tim once sang with the Tall Trees

Well, I can see a Fender in there......

[quote name='enssorcel' timestamp='1446204191' post='2897654'] Hey risky Basschatters Just ordered a Harley Benton B-550FL deko for around £48 including shipping! Only regret is that the flats or tapes I'll be buying for it will be almost the same price [/quote] Status do a Flat Wound nylon string set for £21.50 plus postage.....

[sub]Latest collaboration to be announced is Teddy Pendergrass and the Bare Naked Ladies.[/sub]

Hope it all comes back together for you and you can get back gigging too.

We've been here before with this seller. He is entitled to sell it at whatever he wants providing he describes it accurately under eBay rules. To sell something as "New Other" and then reply to a query about what the little 'D ' stamp on the heel is and say it is a 'dint' is a lie...but does not contravene eBay rules. The Seller's comment to the person who asked about the dint and then suggested it was a Deco, was something like "get a life". Just like with a certain other Guitar Builder held in awe by Basschat, these people are exceptions rather than the rule and they are clearly not becoming millionaires, so maybe it's better for us onlookers just to keep our feet dry on the moral high ground.......?

[quote name='Light Grenade' timestamp='1445945425' post='2895560'] I think I've ruled the Tech 21 out of the running. I was just curious if there was anyway it could be tweaked in order to not sound like an Ampeg, I don't want to be trapped with that sound so I'm guessing the pedal route seems like a more sensible option in order to achieve that drive. The Warwick LWA1000 looks absolutely stunning, the size isn't a huge issue as there's still a carry case available for it - as long it can be carried, it's fine. Clean and full is exactly what I'm looking for, I'll model any other desirable sounds from my pedal setup. I play flats (D'Addario Chromes) so I need something with a good bit of punch to bring out the string sound. I guess that's why Ashdown heads don't agree with me, I can never get any string definition from their heads, totally woolly/overly subby. The LW1000 is totally tempting due to the enhanced headroom, but I've already ventured £200 over my budget ha, I guess an extra £75 won't hurt? [/quote] Yes, sorry, the LWA 500 is the half size model to the LWA 1000 and will give you 250 watts into an 8 ohm cab. My mistake! Not seen any reviews yet but they say the LWA1000 sounds quite markbassish...

Surprised no-one came up with 'Fats Domino', although he has been mentioned on here before a few times

Well, that made a smashing guitar

If your budget is £500, you won't get a Warwick LWA unless second hand and they seem to be like hen's teeth! There was a review for it and the cabs in Bass Guitar Magazine earlier this year/late last year but like most of the reviews there are rarely any issues mentioned. Warwick are doing a half size LWA, the 250 but it does not seem to be on the shelves yet. Ditto Markbass with the Nano and circa £300 I think. Remember a 500 watt head is not twice as loud as a 250/300 watt one...!

Has the OP seen the thread about disconnecting/removing/replacing the piezo tweeter in the CMD121P? A search will yield lots of interesting info!

Flora and The Machine?

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1445844012' post='2894558'] Not quite the same but I cam across a band called Fossils and Foxes , which I thought was a good name, old blokes band fronted by younger ladies [/quote] I bet they'll never share a bill with Bryan Ferry...

Further to the trend of F1 releases, Malcolm McLaren, Robbie Williams and Simply Red Bull are releasing a version of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car"

The previous photo was 'A Fair Cop'.... In other news, Hamilton Bohannon, Wolf Alice, The Lotus Eaters and Toto have joined together to do a version of 'Mercedes Benz'. Can't think why....

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1445731912' post='2893799'] Breaking news..! Tawdry charity scam exposed as massive fraud..! Flying Squad inspectors swoop on bogus email account containing almost more than an alleged sum of £22.16 or more ..! Thousands bamboozled into contributing; luckily, most gave a very modest sum, slightly less than £0.01. Tax experts estimate that the exchequer have been swindled out of quite a lot by this cunning scheme, which may well have succeeded, had it not been for the astute observations and erstwhile reporting actions of a little-known forum Mod, who, for obvious reasons, wishes to retain anonimity.

Dear Factfile Reader. I've decided it's time to let go and allow you to work out the number of views from the info on the General Lounge Title Page. Baby Steps I know, but you are strong independent Bass Players and I know you can do this on your own. Break free from the shackles of the Factfile Tyranny and read the number of views details yourself. Wonder why 161,000 viewers (plus) have read this crap, and speculate how you will never get back the hours you have spent trying to work out what it all means. In a few days the Topic will be 1 Year old. Please don't embarrass the Topic with tawdry and meaningless Birthday Gifts but think of a worthwhile Charity, double the value of the gift you would send to them and Paypal the cash equivalent to me at [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email].

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1445687313' post='2893406'] genuine bump... I just the the BC cabs needed more comments on them since a lot of effort had gone into them and feedback would probably be important to the guys who built them. [/quote] Cool.

Mascaraed School refusnik Alice Cooper and 'Easy Rider' sound trackers Steppenwolf are collaborating. As is usual in these instances, they are struggling for a band name.

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1445501764' post='2891885'] I'd love to hear any comments about the homebrew 1x12's if any of you tried them. Are we in the right ballpark given that these would cost you less than £150 and will go very loud compared with most commercial 1x12's. Any feedback will be used to improve future designs. [/quote] In answer to the question, I thought for the money these are astonishing value ( assuming self build?). Soundwise I'd have to A/B with my cab but aesthetically they look too 'barefaced' for me, I know that's me being very shallow!
