Zooey Deschanel? Put me down for one of those please

Although I like the Hamer... this REALLY does it for me!

Here we go.. Original Mini Cooper in Black (that's been magically treated not to rust!) Pixie Lott Stripey Thunderbird

[quote name='TheButler' post='675197' date='Dec 5 2009, 07:19 PM']I'm saying i'd say no. Okay, well i'd think about it for a while.[/quote] You'd be joining the back of the queue lol

If we're talking non bass... Pixie Lott please! She is looking for a man after all, how can she resist a slightly older bass player?

I'm sure everyone has something in mind they'd like to get for Christmas... me for example: Gotta love the stripey T-Bird! I'll just stick it out with my Epiphone covered in gaffa tape for the time being

Bought a Flying V bass from Matt (well his sister) Excellent condition, well packed, couldn't have been better! Only issues being with Parcelforce (beyond Matt's control) but when it got despatched it arrived ahead of time. Top bloke, definitely deal with him again. Cheers dude

It's gonna be a 30.5 scale.

[quote name='cetera' post='671516' date='Dec 1 2009, 08:30 PM']I'll be there.... of course! Got tickets for Manchester, Birmingham & Wembley Arena.... it's gonna be GREAT!!!! [/quote] Awesome stuff my friend! I'm gonna be like a child at Christmas... in Gene makeup of course.

Managed to get a lovely rackmounted Zoom multi-effects with a valve in it for next to nothing. There's a decent overdrive on there so I'll be playing around with that Was cheaper than your average pedal too!

Hi all, I'll shortly be recieving a short scale bass. Just wondering what the drill is when I have to change strings? Is there any way of modifying standard scale strings for a short scale? Any good value for money short scale sets around?

They were like a totally different band in the 80's, I'm not much of a fan of much 'Post-Ace' stuff (apart from Sonic Boom - an excellent return to form). I really wish I could see the original lineup, or with Ace at least. Tommy Thayer seems to be trying his hardest to emulate Ace, they've even got him singing 'Shock Me' now. I'm really not into him ... should've given him a new character... I'll get off my soap box now.

I got mine from Seetickets - Birmingham, Standing. It's a serious lifelong ambition to see them live, I can't wait... I've already got practically everyone I'm going with agreeing to put the makeup on

Got my tickets on Friday, who else is going? I'm already experiencing a silly level of excitement and there's 6 months to go yet!

[quote name='dood' post='664178' date='Nov 24 2009, 07:01 PM']Let us know how you get on and what kinda sounds you can coax from the rack - gnarly distorted bass tones etc?![/quote] I certainly shall, I'm looking for a nice growl not overly heavy. I'm gonna be running it through one side of my bi-amp which will sound siiiick.

Great basses, especially as a second hand buy. That said I much prefer the Thunderbird Pro, Epiphone really outdid themselves with it - through neck and active electronics. Want one badly!
