Ordered a speaker cable late Tuesday afternoon, arrived this morning. Top quality and service once again from our own [b]obbm[/b]. Cheers Dave!

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]

Greetings from Blackpool!

Greetings from the Flat 'n' Wet Side of Lancashire!

Good luck, hope all goes well!

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1320661' date='Jul 29 2011, 05:15 PM'] That'd be a useful skill for a "Coolest Drummer on the Planet" thread...[/quote] Maybe somebody should start one... or then again, maybe not... And thanks also to [i]Johnston [/i] - not my kind of thing it has to be said, but appreciated all the same.[i] :thumbs up:[/i]

I can't believe nobody's mentioned a certain Japanese cross-dresser yet... Anyway, for me, it'd have to be Mike Mills, if only for the suits. [attachment=85903:mike_mills.jpg]

[quote name='mcgraham' post='1319007' date='Jul 28 2011, 09:12 AM']<snip> I'd like to be positive about Airbourne but I can't. Frankly, Airbourne were *shocking*... though it's hard to tell how much of that was the fault of the FOH mixing. I genuinely lack the words to adequately describe that support slot - basically the drummer did four to the floor kick drum in EVERY section of EVERY song, except for the intro to one song. Unfortunately, coupled with - dare I say it - the ludicrously excessive amounts of bass they were pumping out front I literally just heard thump thump thump thump thump thump *woooAAAAARRGGGhoooo* {from the singer} thump thump thump thump... ad infinitum <snip>[/quote] Exactly my experience of Airbourne at Manchester Academy in 2008, very disappointing. Mate of mine still raves about 'em though, so it's probably just me being a Grumpy Old Git... Oh, and just to keep on topic, I saw Maiden (for the one and only time) at Blackpool Norbreck Castle, 2nd November 1979.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' post='1298663' date='Jul 10 2011, 12:01 AM']I had my first audition in 15 years today and I got the gig. 3 piece band playing blues and '70's rock. The guitarist does the vocals and his brother plays drums and I am now the bassist. I am sooo made up by this as I suffer from RA and I couldn't play for 3 years. It's only been in the last few weeks that I could practise pain free. Today I got a big blister on my middle finger of my plucking hand and it feels like a medal of honor. We jammed for 3 hours and it passed in a flash. I haven't played that long for ages and I loved every minute of it. The plan is to rehearse towards recording a few tracks for a limit run of CD's and doing a few fundraising gigs for charities. As I've posted before, I don't think that I would have even tried if it had not been for this wonderful forum. Thanks to everyone involved in running it and for the input of all it's members. Now cure me of GAS. I am now going to give a bottle of gin a good slap to celebrate.[/quote] Good on yer, hope all goes well!!! Maybe I'll be able to post summat similar one of these days......

Well, FWIW it certainly doesn't look a whole lot like my 1977/78 Musicmaster s/n S839xxx... [attachment=83198:musicmas...ceelliot.jpg] I'd also take exception to the description "[i]They're lightweight[/i]" - mine weighs a ton!!!

Very nice, love the green! I'd prefer it with the bridge cover the *right* way round, but hey, that's just me...

Tort or black.

Not black strings admittedly, but (Aged?) White/Black/White here (via a nice chap on eBay, originally off a Squier Standard Series Jazz apparently), with a rosewood tugbar from Guy Lewis... [attachment=81945:cvj.jpg]

Much as I love Fenders (especially Jazzes)... [attachment=81697:eye_bleach.jpg]

A spot of late-night / early-morning Google-Fu indicates that MN4 + 5 or 6 digits could well be acceptable for a 2004 MIM, but it's your money!!!

And just so we know where we all stand...

I don't know, kids + computers = never a good idea...

Still red for me - looks like a velvet cushion, while the blue/green looks like a cushion that's been left out in the sun too long!!!

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='1229704' date='May 13 2011, 10:03 AM']So it's early 90s, a MIJ and seafoam green/surf green. My guess would be a 62reissue. The strip towards the bridge and bridge pickup along with the screw hole above the neck pickup gives it away plus the pickups definatly look 60s spacing.[/quote] I'd agree it's probably a JB62 reissue, presumably non-export given the colour? Whatever, it's very nice, [i]very [/i]nice indeed!

Not normally a fan of red, but that red [i]is [/i]stunning, so in this instance red it is!

Hmm, this anniversary seems to have slipped by unnoticed by all but Julian Cope! [url="http://www.onthisdeity.com/21st-march-1991-%e2%80%93-the-death-of-leo-fender/"]21st March 1991 - the Death of Leo Fender[/url]
