[quote name='Bottle' post='1294516' date='Jul 6 2011, 11:22 AM']Schweeeet!!!!!! Awwww, that's fabulous mmmmm has got me thinking about a cheap Strat copy to noodle on at home, having never played Gtr before. Take care, mate[/quote] I can't recommend the Squier Classic Vibe Strats highly enough, they are wonderful players and sound lovely.

[quote name='Bottle' post='1294348' date='Jul 6 2011, 09:21 AM']This is wonderful to read, Nige. I think as a nation we always expect good/excellent service to come as standard, and anything less than 100% gets a complaint. Yes, I think we should complain about poor service, but also give thanks in equal measure to encourage those who do provide an excellent service (often low-paid staff as well). You wouldn't believe the amount of s*** I had to put up with when I worked at Curries with people looking to knock off £100 from a £3000 telly. For me, Bass Merchant is another example of exemplary customer service, have had some great chats with Darren when I've been there (in fact, I'm due for another trip there soon with the missus) Oh, and I am seriously impressed with your musical abilities - you do yourself a disservice with all the 'I'm not worthy' threads I've seen you post recently I particularly liked your last playing video with the sitarist. Keep it up, mate. Ooooh, I'm all intrigued too - watcha get then, fella?[/quote] Thanks Ian I bought that superb Fender American Deluxe V-Neck Strat in the sitar video, I hadn't even considered a Fender, too low tech, but Andy told me about the Deluxes with a 2-point trem, noiseless pups, locking tuners, compound radius fretboard, etc. I played it and it was a delight! The 1950s V profile neck is exceptional, and it's by a mile the best Strat I've ever laid hands on, and the workmanship, set-up and sound is fabulous. I'll be going back to Nevada to buy an acoustic 6 string in the next few weeks, probably a high end Ovation.

I'm pretty sure I can make this (Nik, sorry for not responding to your PM yet!)

[quote name='mrtcat' post='1293975' date='Jul 5 2011, 09:25 PM']I always buy plywood for speaker builds from one particular wood yard as the three young lads working in the warehouse, who fetch your order, are all really helpful and seem really happy to be helping the customer. I have emailed their boss this afternoon as a result of this thread. Not enough praise out there. If we don't tell these people when they're doing something right we can't expect them to keep doing it right.[/quote] Also excellent They will really appreciate that, nice one!

[quote name='bozzie' post='1293988' date='Jul 5 2011, 09:31 PM']I'll second that, i popped in a few months ago en-route to some friends in Brighton. Andy was great, let me try several cab set ups, even suggesting something I hadn't considered. Although I didn't purchase anything that day, I would have no hesitation in recomending them, based on my experience.[/quote] Excellent!

[quote name='dc2009' post='1293818' date='Jul 5 2011, 07:42 PM']Mine was a joke, sorry if it was not taken that way. It was in the vein of the lack of helpfulness of the thread to anyone who hasn't seen jordison on bass, there wasn't even a video!tiv Also hadn't realised it was a relatively new guy's thread, no offence intended TMB![/quote] Cool blud, just that they geezer's a bit of a n00b even though he's been a member for a while.

Guitar gig last week, my first for many many years.

I am inclined to think he is possibly a somewhere on the autism scale or something, or possibly doing the best Ricky Gervais type thing ever, which is what i hope it is because he's a genius at it. Some of the comments on the YT vids beggar belief. One thought it can't possibly be a spoof because he didn't wink at the camera at the end. There is no end to stupidity in YT comments is there.

Is this how we treat people on here? Tell them to f*** off because they are impressed with someone? Joey's a very talented multi-instrumentalist as it happens. I have seen him on bass before and although he's not Anthony Jackson, he plays with great feel and spirit. So on behalf of some of the other members on this thread, sorry to the OP if you got the impression we are all c**ts.

It's what it was originally intended for IIRC, though not the same as the over-the-counter stuff.[/quote] Christ mate, you seem completely accident prone, I'd look at your activities rather than the treatments

[quote name='KERMITNT' post='1293339' date='Jul 5 2011, 01:09 PM']alain caron grew some hair and beard? oh my god he is even better LOL[/quote] That's my kind of talk!

I had superb customer service from Nevada Music in Portsmouth very recently. It's a really nice, comfortable and large warehouse type retailer with a good online presence. I was treated extremely well by knowlegable and friendly staff. Andy Fisher is the main bass guy there and after talking to him about my requirements and spending a couple of hours trying guitars, I walked out with a superb instrument I hadn't even considered I might want, and at a very good price. He was really helpful and it was a very pleasurable experience buying it. The display instruments are very well cared for and felt like they had just come out the box. I called back a few days later to get the email address of the manager so I could register my satisfaction with their customer service and Andy Fisher in particular. The Director emailed me back saying thank you and how they rarely get positive feedback and often think customers don't appreciate their efforts at providing excellent customer service. You know how good it feels when someone says they love your band or your playing? So, if you get great customer service from somewhere, tell them about it! Cheers, Nigel

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1293112' date='Jul 5 2011, 09:50 AM']What an extraordinarily aggressive way to ask a simple question. I can only assume that Google and Wikipedia were having a rare simultaneous outage at the time of your post, so here you go: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Deal"]Kim Deal on Wikipedia[/url].[/quote] I think he means, "Kim Deal - who the f*** are you to tell me my business?!". He's a smart guy, Chris, he knows who she is.

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='1292859' date='Jul 4 2011, 10:44 PM']Are you trying to reinvent the wheel or something? Just say it's sh*t if you think it's sh*t. Is it hard being contrary all the time?[/quote] Eh?

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1292865' date='Jul 4 2011, 10:47 PM']For my taste.[/quote] That's cool blud.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1292925' date='Jul 4 2011, 11:25 PM']That's just the way it works here though. Someone posts something which can only be commented upon by people expressing their personal interpretation of the subject and the next page of responses depends greatly on the first couple of posts, eventually someone else with the opposing view sticks their heads above the parapet and you get a rush of posts from his buddies who strongly agree with him, the thread then dies down a little in the following couple of days with a few tis... tisn't... tis'... then someone who missed it the first time round (who hasn't read all the way through) pipes in with the original POV and well get another half page of tis... tisn't... tis... then next thing you know someone will post about maple vs rosewood or something and we all forget this guy and his chops and go do over there for another bout of tis... tisn't... tis... And the world goes round and round. [/quote] Of course! There are only 7 threads on Basschat
