After another listen i think i do recall hearing it last year, it wasn't it used for a TV add?, maybe thats where i heard it. I never listen to the radio (at least not one that plays the current stuff) and my kids arent fans so im pretty much out of touch with who sings what these days.

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1328696173' post='1531163'] I am confused by when you say the current Mrs Discreet. Only last week I met three young ladies who claimed to be [i]the[/i] current Mrs Discreet [/quote] Im sure you also made this claim a few months ago over on Gimpchat

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1328693856' post='1531122'] Yep, we all know he lives alone with his pet goat called billy [/quote] So it was you peeping in the window last night, didnt recognise you because you had that mask on

Unfortunately i didn't actually take any, but im working on it ;-)

Ive got Gotoh 201's on both my Squiers and i love them. They look and feel better to me, compared to the BBOT and vintage style bridges. Cant say i noticed ant tone change but then i was coming from high mass bridges anyway. Funny enough i needed a Gotoh 201 to get a decent action when i changed necks on my P, as the new one as a bit higher and the standard HM bridge couldn't get the stings up high enough.

Never heard of it until i clicked on the youtube link. I quite like it but cant see my band ever doing it.

Had a (nice) shock yesterday. The GF put mine on after getting out of the bath. It looked much better on her ;-). And no, there will be no pics..

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1328048791' post='1521080'] I wish Schroeder still had a distributor. [/quote] I got my first one direct from Jorg. Still worked out cheaper than buying over here.

I had two and loved them (both for free, big cock up on Music YO's side). Probably the nicest 5 strings i had played up to that point. I traded the second one for a 4 string Honer but didn't keep it long. Nice as it was i just didn't get on with it, plus it was active and i wasnt too keen on that. I felt the passive EMG's sounded nicer. Tone wise i was very happy with the XT-25, i quite like the EMG Selects. Ive still got a white 4 string Spirit XZ2, (the one with the conventional body shape) and that too has the EMG select's and it sounds very nice.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1328566931' post='1529385'] Try pedalling the F at the end (Nahhh na na) of the tune over the Eb major nd the Bb major. Much more fun. [/quote] There's a great bass line over the end in the Love version. whenever we do hey Jude thats always the highlight for me. Oooo, just noticed the spell checking is now working again in firefox.

Play that funky music. Although i can play it fine we just dont gell as a band (quite the opposite) and its one of the most painful experiences of each gig.

Just sold Stevie my iRig. We agreed the sale in the evening and money was in my account when I woke up next morning. Pleasure to do business with and wouldn't hessitate to send goods first if needed. Cheers Stevie, have fun with it.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1328282197' post='1524950'] Dude got up at 5am to drive it to bristol the next day, an paid for the time the driver spent hanging about, his parents told him they'd be in, then decided to go out. [/quote] Fair play to him. I guess these things happen.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1328280741' post='1524914'] Driver was fairly up for ramraiding the place. [/quote] What did happen in the end?

yep, case closed. Good luck with it.

[quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1328266831' post='1524581'] Why would you do the same? Why? [/quote] By that i meant pull out, rather than mess you around. That part im not sticking up for him about. The difference has already been said, more than once. I can imagine this guy wanted a quick sale, with pickup because he didnt have time or whatever to pack it up securly, he might even be worried about it getting damaged in transit. This is the difference between you picking it up and him having to get it ready for a courrier (this has always been my reason for doing collection only for bigger stuff). More work for him and that wasnt what he was looking for when he placed the add. If it had got damged in transit this would also mean a long drawn out transaction, something he probley wouldnt want. You bid on this knowing he wanted collection only. Why didnt you just ask him before bidding? It sounds like you were messed around and are angry, and rightly so,thats not on and the guy was in the wrong for going about it in that way, but you dont seem too grasp that you were wrong in the first place.

[quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1328221904' post='1524169'] I'll say it again: I did agree to go collect. Anyway, spleen vented. Done and no money lost and have, in the interim, sourced another '59!! [/quote] Didnt you say that he agreed to loose £40 so you could go and collect it? To me that sounds like he would have been loosing out. He shouldnt have messed you about after you both agreeed on something but you shouldnt have messed him about by bidding on a collection only item with no intention of collectiong it. I can understand him wanting to back out, i would have done the same. I dont blame him for thinking you were wasting his time.

Shirt arrived this morning, looks pretty cool. feels nice and soft. Ill see how i get on with it and might get a lighter coloured one for the summer. Cheers Chris.

Hmmm ,this looks interesting, and at a good price point. I wonder how it stacks up againt my MB F1. It seems to offer a bit more control. Thanks for the review Jauqo.

Me bums already shaved, im up for it Blimey Michael, you stalking me

How about BC Mankini's

Yep, including the first one i brought it was 4. The first was a MIM 70s Jazz that had a raised 13th fret, the second was a MIA in black that had very poor paintwork, the next two were the MIA's in 3TSB that had the rear pup out of alignment. The 5th, and the one I settled on was the HW-one, and that too had a raised fret but as it was at the 19th i didnt mind. Looking back i do think i should have kept the first 3TSB with maple neck, it played and sounded fine, but i just couldntt get over the large gap around the rear pup, especially as my Squiers were spot on and the MIA cost 3 times as much.

If i get GAS ill just order another shirt and cut the logo out Would be great to see something in black with orange writing/logo. I loved the orange and grey T i got form here. Im still trying to slim down so i can atually wear it :-(

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1328097991' post='1521669'] OMG fanboy alert [/quote] Never go out in them though, and its cheaper than buying actual basses ;-)
