That's the nicest looking GB I have seen so far!

I really hate the PM for price style threads. It really winds me up. Totally disagree... with this one ... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Totally disagree with this one and it takes away from the sellers right!!! What ever happened to freedom and choice?? ... It seems that one person makes a recommendation and it law????? I think you should have the right to ask people to send a PM, If they want to know the price and if they are genuinely interested then they will either buy or make an offer on the bass... (it gets rid of the time wasters and tire kickers). As a bass community people should deal fairly and honestly, that is why basschat exists?? And if people are not given the freedom or choice to state their price or ask people to PM then you may find that basschatters may resort to not listing their regular and collectible basses and rather sell privately off the boards to friends and people they know. Also if we are on this subject.. I think that someone also need to address the issue of people posting nonsense and making un-related comments when your trying to sell a bass ... the amount of times I have seen bass forsale threads hijacked is way too many times to mention if a person is trying to sell a bass leave them be .... unless they are making a false or untrue statement... Just my 2 cents ...[/quote] I think that the new rule REDUCES time wasters and tyre kickers if anything. All too often the timewasters/tyre kickers are the sellers who ask for people to PM them for a price. At the end of the day the marketplace needs to be as open and clear as possible now that we have so many members and to be honest, if you are selling something, you need to publish a price to keep things above board and reduce the amount of problems people come to me with saying 'such and such said I could have it for such and such but then he said this and sold it for that to someone else' - granted it doesn't happen very often, but as I cannot get involved in any disputes, I want to keep things on a level playing field. You can always sell on eBay without a BIN price if you prefer, but then there are the fees and so forth. On the whole I think this will make things much better for the majority of users. ped

Thanks mate - having seen some of your pics that's quite a compliment!! I did start a Flickr group members thread here somewhere but can't find it now! ped

Wicked, show us some pics and add me on Flickr if you sign up!! We can be Flickr buddies [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chiscocks/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/chiscocks/[/url] ped

Ah sweet - you'll love the Canon. Nice piece of kit. Just try not to go mad with lenses right away!!

Well as I am 100% happy with my bass gear and have been for a while, I got this bag for my camera kit! It holds: Samsung GX1l with 18-55 and 50-200 lenses Ricoh GX1l compact Braun Paxette rangefinder Spare 35mm film AAs and charger Filters Remote Bonus tabletop tripod (the gorilla pod is in the top section) Cheers! ped

Cheers - don't thank me though folks, Johngh brought up the issue. Have a great xmas ped

I was just billed by the HMRC - £1,800 by jan 31st! Terrific!

[quote name='Clarky' post='692709' date='Dec 24 2009, 12:07 AM']There you go hyping again - the Vicuna is clearly better adapted to higher altitudes than the Lllama, weighs less and can bleat louder when pushed [attachment=38825:408.jpg][/quote] LMAO Classic post.

Trade threads are still fine yeah. Just if the seller decided to sell there must be a cash price. And if anyone sells to me, they must reduce said cash price by 50% Cheers ped

Hi guys We have decided that from here on in, sellers must clearly state a price when selling items in the marketplace. This will make transactions more upfront and stop people effectively holding private auctions. If you have a thread without a price, please edit and add one - any new threads from now on will need a price. See rule #5 for sellers here http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=rules&f=19 Cheers ped

Yep, so I think we are all pretty bored of this discussion now! So someone didn't like a BF cab. Cool. Well actually he does like it. Or whatever. Read the review. I have lost track and this thread is now far from useful. ped

Lads. That's enough. Seriously. It's a box with speakers in it. Seriously. Finnbass ped

Mmm those Zons are lovely

Here's my twins!! Well, as close as I can get anyway. It's nice having a pair ;0)

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='682459' date='Dec 12 2009, 07:14 PM']This has officially taken over: Frets are weird.[/quote] That thing has some attitude alright. How old is it? ped

Oh, you deleted your post. See, you can do it!! ped

EBS: Not really that interesting to know that people are reading the finnbass forum, especially as I have given a link. move on mate. You should see what's in my other tabs ped

[quote name='bigthumb' post='686586' date='Dec 16 2009, 05:41 PM']Finbass, dear oh dear. What do they know. At the Moffat bass bash I was the bassist asked to stand on the 'stage' and demo the gear (including a BF Compact). I used a Precision belonging to Peter (GreenKing) and mainly my Euphonic Audio iAmp800 head. The audience didn't comprise of all the 'usual suspects' wanting to slate BF cabs and make digs at Basschat but some pretty competent, knowledgeable and experienced bass players. I dont want to make any comments about the cab as I feel that the chaps in the audience would have had a better appreciation of tonal quality than me being too close to it. Anyhow I dont hold any axe to grind at Alex, I've had a short correspondence with him and he seems a nice guy plus I would still like to try a BF 'Big One' at some point. Please dont tar all Finnbassers with the same brush. [/quote] Not my intention at all. I am still friends with may people from that site and long may it continue. Just saying go there and read about these speakers if you think there is a distorted picture over here. Please - no more digging at one another. ped

Yes yes yes. We all get it, i'm sure. Go check out [url="http://www.finnbass.com"]www.finnbass.com[/url] ped

[quote name='paul h' post='686394' date='Dec 16 2009, 03:12 PM']Thread summary... Dodgy handles, not satisfied with tone. Speakers need playing in a bit so the jury is out. Took a bit too much effort to sort out. Bit of bad feeling generated. And in usual basschat style this has been interspersed with people being happy to hear that some body was not happy with a product.(??? Still don't get it.) A few little personal digs here and there and somebody even managed to mention finnbass. So, no change here then. [/quote] ...and yet ANOTHER account by Bass_Ferret has been uncovered and the fact Finnbass has been brought up again is just the icing on the cake. Yeah, things have got rather silly and the usual digs have arisen again! Can I just remind everyone - WERE TALKING ABOUT A BOX WITH SOME SPEAKERS IN IT. peace ped

I am really not precious about mine any more. It's quite worn, like an old jumper, and if I knock it on a door or something I don't mind - it's as solid as a rock and has a lot of character. There used to be a time when I played an Alembic that I would be afraid to play the bass almost, but as my #1 bass has a non glossy finish and lots of nice worn areas I can just pick it up and it feels 'warm' straight away. I am much more careful with my fretless, but it's annoying because the gloss black finish and mirror fingerboard means I can see all the finger marks! I don't think I could have a main bass that I had to be especially careful with. I don't mean I willingly dent my bass or anything. I take great 'care' of it and it's my most precious possession, but I don't 'baby' it, I guess. ped

I like the Vertex - never seen one before...

Not all of it - and the company in question weren't about to defend themselves! Seriously - let's just take the review at face value and let Alex and Rob sort this out in private. ped
