    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!!! :)

    Digits or Plectrum ?

    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. :)

    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.

    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!).

    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!

    One for the Geddy fans...

    Just acquired an Ashdown Five Fifteen Mini rig, in perfect condition and at a great price, off OMFUG via EvilBay. Nice easy transaction and excellent communication, a pleasure to deal with.

    [size=1]I just hope he never mentions that when I tried to test it out, I completely forgot to connect the head to the cab. Well, I've always had combos before... [/size] :)
