The lesson? ....................... Don't respray a bass when you've had a magic mushroom omelette followed by a pint of Absinthe

I must have a long sit down with a Spector the next time I'm in the Gallery. Vey nice

[quote name='MB1' post='370759' date='Jan 5 2009, 11:34 AM']MB1. Limehouse Lizzy! by any chance?[/quote] Indeed - a true tribute. If anyone hasn't seen them they're missing a really great show.

I only saw Phil live once, which is a real shame. I'm glad that there's a fantastic tribute band out there that does Thin Lizzy justice - I've seen them loads of times

Nearly finished the kitchen, so BFM cab build drawing closer I can't wait to try the cabs with my 'new' MkIV AH500 Trace Elliot head I'm also thinking of trying different pickups in my Lakland 55/01 Some more cables from OBBM Maybe a couple of pedals - not extra ones, just upgrading to better models Some bass lessons to sort out all my self-taught bad form

I suppose it could launch a new rash of ebay scams? Knowing the skill of most home relic'ers with a power belt sander surely they'll just run over the bass with a van or drag it behind one for a few miles for that 'road worn' look!

Welcome Bob - quite an introduction!

From memory...... A TV interview. Gay Byrne..... Phil, what's it like being black and Irish? Phil..... It's a bit like being a pint of Guinness. R.I.P

[quote name='Linus27' post='370090' date='Jan 4 2009, 05:03 PM']I really like that.

Buy the Bongo!

Hi Ian - welcome to the forums!

The bass market is very fluid. You can get some stonking bargains and then see some basses sell for more than you'd think. - It's just the timing/luck of you selling what someone else has suddenly got massive GAS for.

Hi Gundog - welcome to the forums!

If you add your location to your profile we can see where you live and therefore tempt you with cheap secondhand kit that you can save the courier charges on

Well hello and welcome! Enjoy - glad to have you here

I have one - they're excellent VFM. I have a Wizard Thumper waiting to be installed in place of the stock Wilkinson - I'll post an A/B in the reviews section when I get round to it .

[quote name='ednaplate' post='369345' date='Jan 3 2009, 04:30 PM']I have a bass and bassless backing track for this if you are interested.[/quote] Yes please - post here or e-mail me too

Guitar Village in Farnham might be worth a visit too

Get the Stingray. Have a love affair with it, stay happily married to it for the rest of your life or dump it and get a young French mistress!

[quote name='Beedster' post='368779' date='Jan 2 2009, 07:51 PM']Thanks mate. Slight problem though - when I open the page I just get a black screen with 'Norman Plays Rhythm Stick' in the corner and no sound. Am I being stupid? Chris[/quote] Works for me? - it's on this page - [url="http://www.theblockheads.com/audio_video.php"]http://www.theblockheads.com/audio_video.php[/url]

[quote name='Golchen' post='368510' date='Jan 2 2009, 02:58 PM']I realise that this is a bit of a daft question as 99.9% of you will probably think it's a pile of poop, but I was wondering if it would be of any use as a cheap practice amp? I need something small enough that the wife won't even see it when I sneak it into the house and hide it in the utility room, and I quite like the idea of the cd/mp3 input for practice purposes. Do you think it would be any good for this?

I don't have a tab, but because of the number of requests Norman recorded his bassline for us all to download and copy. It must therefore be the 'definitive' version. 99% of tabs I've seen are wrong.
