    To be honest I wouldn't buy from anywhere else now. The standard of the gear and the integrity of the deals I've been involved in have been outstanding. I wouldn't even bother buying something brand new because the broken in basses on here are better.

    PM'd for trade

    I used to use Graham Gouldmans backline (might be the third time I've mentioned this now). And my real name is John Taylor, which impresses ladies of a certain age.

    Tonight sees my first public performance for 22 years. Its cheating slightly because we're only doing 5 or 6 songs and the 'audience' will consist mainly of other bands plus friends and family. Open mic night at our rehearsal rooms, Route 36 (Wilton, nr Salisbury). Would be amused and somewhat suprised to see any Basschatters there - if you are give me a holler (I'm with The Mysterons). Will save photos, full report etc. for first 'real' gig when it materialises. Now then, how does the intro for Misirlou go again....

    [quote name='Annoying Twit' post='280866' date='Sep 10 2008, 08:48 AM']I was going to post another "here's a new price" link. Oh, I will. £170 + about £6-7 postage. [url="http://www.dv247.com/invt/37230/product.htm?gdftrk=gdfV2356_a_7c416_a_7c1181_a_7c37230"]http://www.dv247.com/invt/37230/product.ht...c1181_a_7c37230[/url] But the hard case is worth a bit if it's a good 'un.[/quote] And once again not in stock. Please concentrate people. You can either buy this one for £160 OR Buy one off eBay for £220 Buy one off my magic unstocked website for 4p Buy mine for the deliberately aggressive price of £3526, then you get to tell everybody (but mainly women of a certain age) that you have a bass once owned by John Taylor

    Chief, buy it. It's an excellent deal - you'll have to shell out at least another £50 for a bag or a case. Mysteriously no-one selling them cheap seems to have them in stock. As my old boss used to say - you can have anything we haven't got half price.

    Welcme Spyke. I did 15 years as a professional archaeologist before jacking it in. I'm also crap. But no longer pretty.

    Excellent price for an excellent bass. Have this bump on me.

    If I see one in Shoreline Gold, the wallet's going to be out again

    I've got to say that's awesome after sales service. Might have to nip down to the local musicroom see if they've still got a copy.

    Hello

    deaver replied to hitchy64's topic in Introductions

    Hello hitchy. You'll get all the tips you need here. Don't ignore the elderly threads, they are a goldmine of good stuff. I wouldn't worry about age, I returned to the fold after a 22 year absence at the age of 45 (I still think I'm 23 though).

    I only ever changed mine when they all started to sound the same..........I'm not sure that makes sense but I know what I mean. Time wise about every 2 years or so.

    If you make a real hash of anything, give the guitarist a narrow eyed, menacing stare. Then roll your eyes at the punters as if to say 'why am I working with this amateur'. Used to work a treat for me, then again that was the eighties and my main achievement would have been arriving at the gig upright.

    You see kids, this is what happens when you spend all the Bank holiday drinking

    They were all playing at the same time and oddly it sounded like there was only one of them. I like it when there's more than one on the band because they despise one another so much it saves everyone else the trouble.

    Saw a 70's cover band last night that consisted of a drum machine, a bass player and four guitar players. Surely that's not right

    First was a Kay Rickenbacker copy bought from Sounds Great in Heald Green not long after it opened. Guitarist persuaded me to put a new bridge on which was slightly too wide so I kept pulling the E and G strings off the edge of the neck. Second was a Burns Flyte which to my shame I treated despicably. I'm hoping to dig out a picture of this for 'then' and 'now' photos on the show us what you look like thread. I made such a mess of the Burns that it got swapped for an active Westone (don't know which one, would have been the cheapest available in 1983/4) Never previously had more than one bass until I signed up here...now I have three and a despairing wife.

    I bought the same combo off Soundslive last week and all seems fine. Haven't taken it to rehearsals yet so I can't comment on it's performance anywhere near top whack. I made the same mistake with the EQ and didn't realise it had to be switched on - the last combo I owned was a Wem Dominator, things were much simpler back then. Wife and 9 year old son inquired as to why I hadn't read the manual first but what do they know.

    Gigging in Salisbury

    deaver posted a topic in Gigs

    My band is just starting to look for gigs in around Salisbury. As anyone any recent experience of gigging in the area. Any thoughts or advice welcome.
  24. deaver
    If you ever heading up towards Salisbury let me know. If I could organise a lift I'd come and take these off you - might be a bit much to lug on back on the train
