I was surprised with the quality of the Ernie Ball stuff. Depends how much you'd want to splash out on a set?

Oh, boy...

I was recently at the mini-bass bash and I managed to forget to bring my cab for it. Thankfully, a very kind gentleman (whose name and username escapes me) lent me his Glockenlang cabinet. I plugged my MarkBass F1 head into it and wow - I was amazed by it. I'd love to know more about the type of stuff available and the kind of stuff that is does better than it's other competitors. Does anyone here own anything from the line and could chime in on this? I get the impression it's certainly connoisseurs stuff.

Dreadfully tempting. Got a price and times at all, good sir?

It's definitely genuine. The guy originally posted this a few months back and I almost bought it.

Awesome pictures, Nik! Can't wait for the next gathering.

I had a most excellent time. I'll be looking forward to more! Thank you to everyone that made it happen.

What's the protocol for last minute non-BC'ers who want to come along?

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1409139979' post='2536675'] Thanks, that's interesting to know. The 'What Is Hip?' bass line is beyond my level at the moment but it's something I aspire to. Heck of a workout. MarloweDK has a fab rendition of it on youtube, his hands are so relaxed as he plays it and I'm tensing way too much. [/quote] Surprisingly, it's not actually that difficult. Speed is borne from precision and not the other way round as a lot of people would misconceive it to be. Work on it really slowly (you'll be surprised where the notes land on the fingers in regards to shifting octaves on the E) and make it groove. The rest is just down to endurance and it'll come a bit quicker than you'll expect.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1409087313' post='2536279'] I can bring a Boss charger... [/quote] Awesome. Thank you! I'll try and find mine in the meantime and if I do find it, I'll let you know.

Does anyone have a Boss charger of some sorts? I could bring a Boss DR880 for everyone to use and I've put mine down somewhere (knowing me, it's in the correct spot but it's just a backup).

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1409038269' post='2535609'] Someone may well get a good deal but there is nothing inevitable about any auction. We will only know for sure if it was a crazy deal or not when the auction ends and not before. [/quote] Of course. It's only out of good intentions and it's not a certainty.

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1408985943' post='2535258'] How is this a crazy deal? [/quote] Starting bid at around £360. Considering I picked my Bongo up from lurking, I got it for $800. I was hoping someone would end up potentially have the same good luck as I did. Considering these would go for about $1200 on average, a $600 starting bid means someone is going to inevitably get a good deal.

I was browsing eBay for a (right handed) 5 string Musicman Bongo and came across this. I hope someone gets a great deal out of it!

Whenever I've done a gear share, I'd always find the guy prior to the gig itself thanked him and offered a drink as a token of my appreciation. There's me thinking that this was standard procedure...

Weirdest gig I've ever played. I was pulling off a pseudo-rockabilly slap bass line and see a ruckus right next to me. I started laughing thinking it was fun and games until I realised that it turned into a frenzy of men and women kicking the crap out of each other. After the ensuing blood, fists and glass flew, there was a dog barking at them all too. The sound I had was my amp farting through the monitors. What a day!

Here's how much of a muppet I am sometimes; they're on their way out. Please lock it up!
