I think by asking the question, you've given yourself the answer.....which would be to lose the flag!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1503309612' post='3357003'] Usually its because theres a cruel lack of adequate punctuation which makes reading their posts very difficult in fact some of the posts are so bad they just get skipped it does however create a tension which for some people seems to be resolved in grumpy replies not enough in jest for me I much prefer a light hearted approach not everyone has the same outlook though spelling mistakes and badly placed or worse still missing apostrophes has been know to send some folks barmy as has commas out of place never mind its all for fun you know as a line from a Marty Balin song goes [/quote] [font=arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif][size=5]Eats, Shoots & Leaves[/size][/font]

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1502971059' post='3354733'] I think new they are about $600 which for a custom built (half) bass I don't think is bad. There's a configuration page on their site where you can 'build your own' [/quote] I agree....might have to put that one on the bucket list

Cool thing...are they expensive?

I had two BC212 with a TC BH500 head An excellent rig and the cabs sounded great and are fairly light. Should pick them up used for about £120 or less. Get covers if you're keeping them, the covering is easy to 'rash' Not as good a sound as the high end stuff but good for the price

A long time ago in a land far, far away (well Shropshire in fact) I had a lovely black Rick 4001 with the rare checkered binding....flogged it for £275 in the very early eighties. To me it was awesome but I didn't have much experience of basses then. Wish I still had it...along with the Matamp 100w head (stuffed with Mullards) I played it through...I seem to remember swapping that for a Peavey Black Widow combo. Should you be passing through my patch (Nottingham) and hear sighing, wailing and gnashing of teeth, that's me thinking about my old Rickenbacker! Enjoyed watching Dave's vid so thanks for posting

Sold a bass to Mark, straightforward no fuss deal - thanks for the buying the bass Mark...enjoy!

Paid on the nail, no hassle, proper nice bloke! Thanks Byron

I've got an HD350 running into two Bergantino 12 inch cabs. Great sounding amp...and it goes up to eleven!

eBay is best for picking stuff up on the cheap if you're prepared to wait, but it's also ok for me for selling stuff, just need to be very accurate about descriptions. I've found Facebook very good for selling pedals and also cheaper guitars. Never had much luck selling on Gumtree, but have bought a few things. I've bought and sold gear and basses on here and never had any problems...and met some nice people along the way.

Can't go far wrong with a Sandberg I reckon, I have a Classic TM4 and it's uber. Fender Road Worn Jazz's get good reviews and can be had for £700 if you wait for one to come up

[quote name='progben' timestamp='1501245211' post='3343554'] I think some people will notice and some people won't (both small and large mistakes). Some people in the crowd have a good ear and others don't. That said, the [b]'we are/I am good enough' [/b]mentality is very dangerous to have - and that's not just relative to technical performance. A musician (hobbyist or professional) should always be looking for ways to improve [i]something[/i]. For eg, I play bass in a band and practice often, but I'm also invested in thinking of better setlists, ways to enhance the stage performance, marketing ideas, shirt designs, how to best approach fans after the show, and finding good people to surround the band with. I agree with Blue (as I understand him) that despite what people do or don't notice, it'll only help you if your standards are much higher than they 'need' to be. [/quote] Amen to that..as in this
