    [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1345922821' post='1783253'] This my friends is wonderful [/quote] The orange Stingray certainly is, shame about the fugly blocks on the bass in front

    Bottom line is Fodera have been going since 1983. If their instruments didn't sell at their price point, they wouldn't exist any more.

    [quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1345874779' post='1782576'] This old chestnut again... [/quote] Yep. Could I also add that - in the grand scheme of things - basses are IMHO exceptionally good value for the enjoyment they produce, whether they cost a few hundred or several thousand. Other instruments can cost vastly more (check out the Upton double bass site that has an advert for a DB that it says is suitable for a progressing student, a bargain at a cool $20k) and other hobbies* are much more expensive. We have had people on the site telling us how much they spend on archery or stock car racing and this makes even a Fodera look like small change! Its all relative init? * apart from meditation!

    Thanks for the tips Mike. They are so much cheaper that a bit of extra time/hassle sounds worth it

    Not without pictures! Check your profile and go to Manage Attachments section. Delete old photos there and this will restore the 'memory' on your account so you can post up pictures Good luck

    FYI, got quote back from DiscWizards and its more than a third cheaper than every other quote I have had. £450 + VAT for 1000 glass-mastered CDs in a card sleeve. They also say they will beat any other quote (not that they don't already) so this is in pole position now
  7. Clarky
    Thanks Uncle P and BRX. Will drop Discwizards an email too

    Well I have had two quotes now for glass mastered CDs in cardboard sleeves, both about £950 for 1,000. Thats more than we had anticipated so may have to go plastic jewel case route. I have asked one of the two companies to re-quote for plastic jewel case just to see what the differential would be

    Next up for ATQR is a headline slot on Thursday 20th September on one of the 'Cool as folk' evenings at Hackney Attic Link here: [url="http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Hackney_Picturehouse/film/Cool_As_Folk_All_The_Queen_S_Ravens_Lo_Behold_Abbey_Bowden/"]http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/cinema/Hackney_Picturehouse/film/Cool_As_Folk_All_The_Queen_S_Ravens_Lo_Behold_Abbey_Bowden/[/url]: [attachment=116376:396933_462733170405486_648452323_n.jpg]

    Tremolo sold

    Thanks Joey I have just dropped them an email too Hopefully should have a quote from them and from Hereandnow by end of today so I can get a feel for costs etc
  12. Clarky
    Thanks Tim. Actually Redeye no longer do CD duplication but they put me on to another company (Hereandnow) and I await their response. Redeye did say though that a simple card sleeve (like you get on freebie giveaway CDs) comes out at £500-600 + VAT per 1,000 and that a gatefold would be way more expensive (thicker cardboard, specialised printing etc) so I think we will go down the simple route

    Possible trade pending, to be confirmed one way or other this evening

    Hi all, the acoustic guitarist in my band (Luke) has asked me to help him sell some pedals he isn't using. These are all in perfect working order and in good condition with just a few surface nicks. I have listed the pedals below. If you are interested, drop me a PM and I will forward on Luke's contact details. Prices exclude post but this shouldn't be more than a few quid in each case [u][b]1.

    Hi all, my band All The Queens Ravens will be releasing its first album around the end of this year or early next. It has fallen to me to find out who we should get to record the CDs and print the album covers and of course the costs involved. So: 1. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable cheap company that could record the CDs (we are thinking 500+, others in the band say 1,000 but it depends on cost). Nothing fancy like printed on graphics etc, just simple.We would supply the mastered music. What sort of cost per unit are we looking at? 2. Ditto for CD sleeves? We are thinking of cardboard sleeves, rather than plastic jewel cases, possibly gatefold depending on price. We would supply the cover art. If either company (or maybe its one?) were London-based all the better as we could actually visit but its not vital This is all new to me so any help or input would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers Clarky

    [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1345626457' post='1779537'] Forgive my ignorance, but what is the wal community? Also how would we contact this community should I need a reference. [/quote]I assume the seller is referring to the walbassesnaturally forum [url="http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/walbassesnaturally/messages/13193?xm=1&o=1&l=1"]http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/walbassesnaturally/messages/13193?xm=1&o=1&l=1[/url]

    Looks great, Wayne. Are you tempted to get a checkerboard scratchplate though?
  21. Clarky
    Bump. Would also potentially do some sort of trade vs a fretless Precision (US or CIJ only; and passive, not modded/active) with some cash my way
  22. Clarky
    Thats not even a decal. Its just written on in felt tip pen!
  23. Clarky
    Thanks CV! According to another thread, Warwick's are "becoming cool" again. So here's your chance to shape up, dweebs!

    [quote name='Blademan_98' timestamp='1345405906' post='1777210'] Er......... [/quote] Well you did ask http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xggFzkyd288

    That would make for a visually exciting rock gig ... or perhaps not. Bring back Keith Emerson, stabbing his Hammond organ I say
