[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1324315677' post='1472940'] That would be a fine idea. And have the "How Was Your Gig Last Night?" and "What Are You Listening Too Right Now" threads moved there? [/quote] Done. I called it 'General Discussion' and put more info in the subtitle.

I always imagined 'General Bass Discussion' to be about music chat more generally, as it would probably have a bass heavy slant being on a bass forum...

Think it's so you can leave a comment as to why you deleted the post, if necessary

[quote name='Beefyeggo' timestamp='1323867725' post='1467943'] I post regularly on a couple of watch and clock interest forums and it's exactly the same there. If the guy has been around a long while and has a history of trading with the other guys there I have no worries about sending a watch out on approval, or paying by BT before I see a watch coming in. One useful thing they have there is a 'Heroes and Villains' sticky. Here members can post brief recommendations of really exceptional service they get from dealers, good deals they've done with other members and equally name people/dealers who have given shoddy service, ripped them off etc. Obviously there's a fine line between criticism and libel but if somebody says 'I wouldn't deal with that person again as long as I have a hole in my arse' you kind of get the message. Just a thought... Rob [/quote] TZ-UK right? Love that forum... I have tried to avoid it recently because it always ends up with a costly bank transfer! Nice to hear people are enjoying the forum. ped

I think Hamster is playing with the settings because previously any deleted posts disappeared completely instead of going into the 'recycle bin'.

That's how we roll

Obviously I can see it but didn't know you guys couldn't. It's not meant to have gone anywhere so consider it reported and under investigation!

For anyone who hasn't heard it, here's the Vbass in Jazz bass mode: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/jam%20clips/Holiday%20fun%20short.mp3 Sort of a synth fretless mode: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/jam%20clips/Seismic%20mellow%20short1.mp3

That's right - I was trying to remember who bought the bass!! The first time I sold it I bought it back as soon as I could afford it, but you caught me at a time I was rationalising my stuff and trying to narrow everything down to 'one' item. Same went for watches and camera gear. Glad to hear you're still enjoying the bass. There's really nothing like it.

And some fretted: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/USB%203/Canti%27s%20Wrap.mp3 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/USB%203/Sticky%20Situation.mp3

[quote name='retroman' timestamp='1322550056' post='1452339'] Well Ped, if you're ever travelling near Chesterfield, Derbyshire, kettle's always on mate :-) [/quote] Thanks mate. I'll bear it in mind. Here's a passion fretless, the first Vigier I owned and sold about two years ago, I think: Lovely instrument. Here's a track so you can hear it's unique sound: [media]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85432/Torrential.mp3[/media] Cheers ped

Welcome to Basschat. I used to live in Witney, then Oxford. The first version of Basschat was actually started during my free periods (and some biology classes) when I was doing my A levels at school in Witney. You might call it the 'spiritual home' if BC! Cheers and get stuck in ped

Mine is a graphite neck and I clean it with soapy water and then a decent rub with a clean cloth. Does the trick. I used WD40 once and it seemed to work quite well, too. It makes it very deep black and shiny. In fact I might do it again when I get home, it's been a while. Cheers

Maybe... I haven't used it much yet so when I know my way around it better I'll have a look.

Hi guys Those of you 'following' us on Facebook have no doubt been enjoying the interesting and thought provoking questions I have been posing over the last few weeks. If you haven't already tapped into this rich seam of info and jibery please follow us via the button on the home page and spread the work to any other bassists you know. Over the next few months I'll be selecting interesting threads and For Sale items to promote on the page. It would also be great if users wanted to add their own pics to the wall, along with playing videos, music etc. Interestingly, the Facebook feed is being followed by some 600 people, but the Twitter feed is a bit slower. Now I must confess I don't fully understand Twitter and it mirrors the posts I make in FB, but I know a lot of you use it and prefer it. It seems like a good business tool but you could help us out by telling other twittlers to tweet the stuff I'm twittering to their tweet recipients. Basically I watched a programme about Facebook last night and I'm angling for a similar programme about BC to be made with a star studded cast - who knows, if you get us the most followers maybe you could be in the film and played by Tom Berenger of the moderately successful 'Sniper' movie franchise. Or someone else if you want. Cheers ped @basschatuk

OK I have spoken to Ben and it looks like we'll have to go for an updated database engine which will be more futureproof. Hopefully we can afford the ~10hrs work it'll take and then that's that problem solved (plus a few other glitches in the process) Thanks and stay tuned ped

Thanks chaps. I'm talking to Ben about these little glitches and we'll get there. Steve is busy looking for a new staff member who can offer dedicated 24/7 support. It's all getting rather demanding, which is a good thing and very exciting. Its Important that we work out the small problems. Cheers

Job done!

Aha! Perfect! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Custom-SLR-C-Loop-Camera-Silver/dp/B004V71BJM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322955397&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Oh yeah, whoops! Bought one of these in the end but think I'll still want a long strap... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180747125456?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I've found a few wrist straps that are built into a tripod screw bush which would be ok.

On my old camera I have no strap lugs so I use a little rig I made up using a strap and a washer (pics below). It screws into the tripod hole. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/91009c91.jpg[/IMG] It's quite secure but I thought of something which would work better. Anyone know where I can get hold of a bracket a bit like this: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/untitled-14.jpg[/IMG] I could then bend the arms a little to allow a strap to be attached to the 'slots'. I'm sure I've seen something like this somewhere but can't think where! Cheers ped
