[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1351243019' post='1849071'] Anyone else a GD fan? [/quote] ep, both myself and the missus watch it. This weeks was interesting, liked it but I wouldn't want to live there. I thought Man Made House was interesting, if a little self indulgent, but it was fun to watch I love the chair from a tractor linkage, want one!

Hmmm, I hadn't considered damage to the decor from a mishandled metal edged box How about hybrid valve/ss amps?

I'm going to start this here, but if it's thought that it should be in the Gear section then please will a mod move it. I'm looking at flight cases, for no better reason than I can and I want to make one for my pedal board. I'm also considering getting one for my amp when I actually get one that I can case up. My real question is, ply/hex board or ABS cases? I personally prefer the old skool black box with silver edges look and think the ABS ones just look plain fugly, but I'm prepared to overlook that if they are better than a solid wood case. Also, shockmount or not? Discuss

I've ssen lots of instructional bits on the net about building a flightcase, make a box cut the top of and mount with extrusions, but has anyone any experience of making rack cases? How do you mount the rails in them, are they just screwed into the inside of the case?

Don't forget to cut the slots in the nut to within a mm of the fingerboard, oil the pots and liberally coat the thing in beeswax Having just seen the inexperienced bit please, please, please don't do any of the above! I'm making fun of a certain "gluthier"...

[quote name='Bloodaxe' timestamp='1278609000' post='889735'] There's odd... Mine was a blue 5-string too, but I sold it because it couldn't cope with a high-C, the ergonomics were a bit lacking & I landed an RSB-Deluxe 5 which made it redundant. The neck was nice - quite slim considering & the single coil p/ups had a good growl about them. My biggest gripe with it was that the body didn't have a round-over edge, & there was nowhere to anchor my thumb so was a bit uncomfortable on the right hand. Very definitely post-Matsumoku, probably '90s Korean manufacture. Put it in a stand when not in use as the headstock is scarf-jointed to the neck around the third fret & they don't take kindly to being dropped. Good "beater" & well worth £70 IMO. P. [/quote] To resurect an old thread, mine [b]is[/b] a blue 5 string and I've not quite just spent twice its market value on pups and a new bridge

I wonder if Mr Phillips will branch out into DB restoration/improvement.

I'm sure the point of this section is to point out useful eBay items that people may have missed, but as there also seems to be a reasonable amount of OMG items I thought I'd post this for your eddification. Apologies if it's already been spotted.

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1350142760' post='1835118'] There's a fab motorbike thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/17518-so-who-rides-motorbikes-then/page__pid__1765003__st__780#entry1765003"]here[/url] and I've just put up some new pics. Let's see your Aprilia on it. [/quote] I'm on page 38 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/17518-so-who-rides-motorbikes-then/page__st__740__p__1737418#entry1737418"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/17518-so-who-rides-motorbikes-then/page__st__740__p__1737418#entry1737418[/url] We were doing stuff in the garden on Saturday and I looked it over with a view to having a play if Sunday was nice, which it was. It's got a flat rear tyre, so no playtime It did mean that I had more time for working in the garden on Sunday which meant I got to use my chainsaw so all was not completely lost Anyway, back to painting basses...

Give it until the end of the month.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1350028341' post='1833589'] I expect you'd likely draw much of the same crowd. [/quote] That's OK, you're all nice people Point taken, the reason I'm thinking of there is that it's really easy for me to pop into the venues and have a look at their faclities without going far afield or finding somewhere that looks good on line only to book it and find it's useless. I may take back my offer of setting it up!

I've got an '07 Aprilia RSVR. I'll see if I can attach a picture to my profile or something Unless you want your thread hijacked

That is just outrageously cool I'd be afraid to take it out and then spend all my time polishing scratches out!

Nice bass though Have you another that looks sort of similar that you could hide in the wardrobe for a while so she doesn't notice? Of course, your wife could be perfectly au-fai with basses and spot it immediately. Mine wouldn't be able to tell them apart if I got a new one as long as it was blue

Right, from comments on this thread and the SE one, if there was a Bass Bash around Northampton in 2013 would anyone turn up? I'm looking at schools in the area and taken a pointer from the SE thread and also looking at hotels/conference venues. Would you want it 6 months before/after the SE, which makes it the end of March, might get interesting with Easter, or set it at mid april so it doesn't hit half term or the May BH? Are there any other bashes that might clash? Absloutely nothing is set up or confirmed yet, just getting a feel for opinions, but if you want it I don't mind trying to set it up (probably because I'm stupid). Any help gratefully accepted should it look like this is a goer

Hooray , but... Well, more pics than you've already shown us anyway

Looks nice, and looks like it took an awful amount of effort to get it to that stage as well What's on the other end of the pair of forks to the left of your workmate? I'm guessing the other is some sort of Beemer?

I read the second option as Disabled People against Cats... I either need more tea or an early night Three very worthy causes, can I split my vote and send £3.33 to each of them?

Made in 1956 and kept in a cellar since... It's got 6 strings as well according to the eBay header.
