Just bought a Squier CV '60s Precision off Chris. As with the BCer above, we also had to use a courier this time, and due to circumstances beyond Chris's control, there was a slight delay before he was able to get the bass off to me, but his communication has been excellent throughout, and the bass arrived today superbly packaged - took me ages to get the darn thing open!!! The bass itself is in perfect condition, plays beautifully, and the colour (Fiesta Red) makes me smile, so I'm very happy indeed. Thanks very much Chris!

Excellent, thanks for that. Inspired me to add it to my list of Songs to Learn (but not sing... )!

A Squier CV '60s Precision in Sonic Blue. I'm still kicking myself for missing the two that came up on here last October...

Thanks for posting that, EH. My friend has gone to NZ for six months, and still hasn't got the hang of this "Other Side of the World" malarkey, bless 'er, so she already wished me HNY several hours before it happened over here! Anyway, that cheered me up no end!!!

Excellent stuff! Album purchased, and I'll keep an eye out for any live dates should you ever make it up this way.

Boring as it may seem, +1 to all the above! Classic bass, leave it as it is.

What everybody else has said. I've never managed to master the pick, but feel there is definitety summat missing in my playing (although I'll admit to being no more than a *hobbyist* so it's probably not a great loss in the overall scheme of things,

I've started avoiding another couple of (non-bass-related) forums (forii?) I used to frequent as the general atmosphere is getting a tad too confrontational for my tastes. I don't know whether it's a symptom of the current state of the nation / people's mood in general, but it doesn't seem to take long for an apparently innocent / straightforward discussion to descend into a slanging match. FWIW / IME / IMHO / YMMV etc.

I can also confirm that [i][b]obbm[/b][/i]'s speaker cables are top notch. Just don't forget to connect the amp to the cab and then panic when no sound comes out, like I did when I went to test / collect my first non-combo...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321711592' post='1442284'] I like this. [/quote] Harumph......

FWIW, I've gone for the "Down With This Kind of Thing" option, though I should probably point out that I am a Grumpy Old Git who doesn't do FB and doesn't get this whole "Like" malarkey anyway...

[quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1319306000' post='1412592'] That isnt as stupid an idea as you made it out to be. There's a local band (You've probably heard of them) called [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KicsxptiFw&feature=related"]Boomin[/url] who's bassist uses an Ashdown ABM and they have a huge sound every time i hear them play. Liam [/quote] The joke is that Karl used to have just such a beast...... until he sold it to me! And I'd not come across Boomin before apart from the [i]500 Miles[/i] vid, but I'll keep an eye out for them if they're ever up this way (though sadly I'll be out of town for their Christmas Lights Switch-on performance!).

Hi Karl, Sounds like what you need is a nice MAG300-210 combo with a built-in sub-harmonic... Seriously, hope all works out OK, and I'll look forward to seeing the new slim-line band sometime. Tony

Met Li today (in Sainbury's car park in Bolton ) and relieved him of his MAG210T Deep cab at an excellent price. Excellent communication throughout (even when my "I can come and collect any day" quickly turned into "sorry, can't make Wednesday evening / Friday / Saturday / Sunday this week" ), and a real pleasure to meet and chat to. Highly recommended, not a Badboy at all!!! Oh, and the cab's in perfect condition exactly as advertised, and sounds great. Many Thanks Li, and all the best!
