    Big respect for doing it and stepping outside of your comfort zone. If nothing else, it's £150 and an invaluable learning experience. I've been asked to dep by the agency my band goes through and I've always said no; I've partly not got the desire to want to do it enough but mostly I don't have the minerals or self belief to put myself in that situation, so respect to you for doing it.

    This. I've been in the same band for 10 years now, I was the last one in and they've been together for about 15 years. We've had our moments but there's a lot of mutual respect and we're good mates. We gig a lot and it just wouldn't work at all if we were only thinking of ourselves rather than the band as a whole. I hope some of the stories in this thread are exaggerated because I'd not only not put up with that sh!t but there's also no way I could be in a band that didn't respect me enough to remember that I exist and need to stand on stage somewhere.

    Bass on hold pending the usual...

    Collection/local meet preferred, still available for the time being.

    Bought here a few months ago, it's a great playing bass but it's helped me realise I want a passive PJ rather than active. More info and pics on the original for sale thread here: I can add my own pics to this thread if anyone would like but it is EXACTLY as pictured previously - I've played it for about 10hrs at home. Comes with a brand new basic hardcase. Price is fair for a bass of this quality at £675 which is what it owes me. Open to trades for a passive PJ. Collection from Portsmouth/Southsea preferred, potential for a meet-up within a reasonable distance - I'm regularly gigging across Hampshire and the South East.

    I bought a Future Impact from Bas, super smooth and easy transaction, I had it in my hands less than 24hrs after sending payment. Top job, cheers!

    I used to get this but only in my left (fretting) hand. Warming up before a gig definitely helps but my main issue was that I was basically gripping the neck like Homer throttling Bart... had to adapt my playing style over a few months to play with a looser grip but it solved all my issues.

    I cured my GAS by rarely coming on here for about 8 years. I've totally flipped that up recently though...

    ONE SIZE ONLY (LARGE) - they're really sticking to those bass player clichés

    Every time I see a Nate Smith video I send it to my drummer.

    Hmm maybe a bit on the low side but depends on how you look at it; if this isn't your primary source of income then you're getting paid to go somewhere new and have a pretty cool experience with your mates. Every now and again we get some nice gigs that pay well through an agency but I often think that if I were a full time musician then the money only just about makes up for all the travelling, the stress and hassle when things don't go 100% to plan, and also being away from a young family for 2 or 3 days at a time - I love doing it occasionally but the lifestyle isn't sustainable for me. It can be great fun though.

    Hysteria

    Dubs replied to paul_c2's topic in General Discussion

    We've covered Hysteria before, sounded good but was very hit and miss depending what the gig was. We found that Starlight goes down better more of the time.

    Getting spammed to stinky poo here...

    Me too, Samsung S8 & Chrome.

    Are you able to ship it?
  17. Dubs
    I enjoyed that mate, good work 👍
  18. Dubs
    Where are you?
  19. Dubs
    There's a lot to be said for keeping it simple. Stick a Bart in it though rather than tape over the poles... +1 on the Nate Smith love.

    It's been a while since I looked much further than the Marketplace on BC, so apologies if I've missed it but is there a pinned thread anywhere of venues to avoid?

    You cannot beat getting hands-on with the instrument. Some good points in this thread, but all to be taken with a pinch of salt unless they're referring to the bass you're looking at. I've owned a few Warwicks made between '94-'04 (SSI, SSII, Thumb BO, Streamer BO, Streamer Std), 1 was a dog, 1 was a gem that I shouldn't have sold (the one that got away!) and I was reasonably happy with the others. All played differently though... you need to get hands-on with it to really have any idea what it's like.

    Thanks for the tips and link Andy, makes very interesting reading and pretty much covers everything I need! Cheers!

    Looking for recommendations for the best wipe-on polyurethane clear gloss finish to use over the top of a stained ash body. Any tips on how to best apply based on personal experience also greatly appreciated! Cheers
