Looks like they have stock too, or did recently: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=126329&st=20"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=126329&st=20[/url]

[quote name='jantheman' post='1235629' date='May 18 2011, 01:08 PM']I got caught by that one.....they say they wont have any till August [b]2010[/b]... Their previous page says they have stock[/quote] Aye i edited my post once i'd actually looked at the page properly! Probably best to contact them, might even get a cheeky BC discount if you pm them!

[quote name='jantheman' post='1235592' date='May 18 2011, 12:49 PM']Just checked and it was 548 @Thomann Would anyone like to comment on EffectPowerSupplies, how would they rate them as a dealer....before I drop my wedge......[/quote] They are on here, why not drop them a line and see if they will price match Thomann? "Fxpedal.co.uk, EffectPowerSupplies.com and the shop, Stompbox, are all trading names of the same business, Stompbox Ltd." [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showuser=8939"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showuser=8939[/url] EDIT: The site is a little out of date though - "out of stock until August 2010". It does say they'll price match, remember Thomann's price includes delivery.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='1235532' date='May 18 2011, 12:19 PM']I wonder what the loop of string on the volume (tone?) knob is for. Perhaps the seller hangs his basses up on the wall by daisy chaining them from machine head to volume knob to machine head and so on.[/quote] Is he a lighthouse keeper? Either way, good price for what i assume is a Hohner Bbass if it stays at £150

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1235403' date='May 18 2011, 11:07 AM']I don't know enough about Fenders to comment on the authenticity, but the over-sized neck pocket and terrible neck angle certainly look like the Fenders I remember from 1979.[/quote] Ouch, you could get a £1 coin in between the neck and body on either side! Otherwise a nice looking bass though.

There's been a Fortress One listed on eBay twice now which had a start bid of £350, failed to sell both times. The $$ Corvettes seem to sell for around £500 - £600, although again i've seen em go for much lower than that. Basically if you have a Warwick then don't sell it and if you have some spare cash then buy two! This slump in value can't last forever, although they've been rock bottom for ages now.

[quote name='crez5150' post='1234023' date='May 17 2011, 10:14 AM']Hi I've played there a few times..... Just make it very clear to the Bride and Groom [u][b]before[/b][/u] the event that it's beyond your control. You'll just have to play within it's limits.[/quote] This. It's not your fault that the venue book a function (an important day of someone's life) and allow them to spend money on a band without actually having the infrastructure in place to cope with it. IME they think it's the bands' fault, even though they can't cope with the volume of an un-mic'd kit. [quote name='BigAlonBass' post='1234287' date='May 17 2011, 01:50 PM']Why should we put up with the damage to our equipment that can happen when these things cut the power to it mid-gig? There is absolutely NO way that I am spending any more money on repair costs after being subject to this kind of stupidity. [/quote] Totally agree. Although venue management/owners really don't give two sh1ts about bands' equipment. At a venue we refused to play because of this issue we had the owner storming on stage and pulling all the mixer sliders down. Our singer gave him a right bollocking on stage in front of a whole wedding crowd!

[i]"that has be lovingly distressed and upgraded by a guy who relics guitars for a living (me). It really is a fantastic job and as you can see much better than then road worn series you see in the shops" [/i] Worryingly i don't doubt that he actually gets paid for this sh1t. He honestly thinks that this is what a well used guitar looks like.

[quote name='TheGreek' post='1230197' date='May 13 2011, 05:39 PM']Now sold to Augie in Australia - sent today by FedEx - a pity it had to go out of the UK. Ironically I received a post from somebody trying to buy it about 20mins after FedEx picked it up..[/quote] Exactly the same thing happened to me after trying to sell my Warmoth for about a year with no interest. A UK buyer wanted it about 5 minutes after i'd agreed to send it abroad! Glad the Dolphin found a good home anyways.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1229480' date='May 12 2011, 11:34 PM']Seriously who is that? He must 'win' some kind of award for that pic.[/quote] If you absolutely had to gig one of them, what would you choose - that or your avatar bass?

[quote name='von Braun' post='1229420' date='May 12 2011, 10:38 PM']A small thing that a little wood filler and some black gloss/lacquer will fix.[/quote] Cocktail sticks will be less messy!

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1229412' date='May 12 2011, 10:30 PM']Put some effort in, man. Ask around your neighbours. One of of them has your bass.[/quote] Good bit of advice, seeing as he'll most likely have to refund anyway Unless he's just trying it on.....

He also sent it via ParcelForce (or at least it says so in the listing) so it actually wasn't insured for the full amount. Ou7hined, maybe point out that some of the cracks are visible in the original listing? It's pretty obviously crafty camerawork, kinda like when fat chicks' Facebook profile pics are always from above them, thus hiding the extra chins! Also he can't see this thread unless he signs up can he? I thought the eBay forum was only visible when you're logged in?

I was really impressed with the Hartke A35 or A25 if you can pick one up. I tried the A35 and it was very capable, not to mention loud. Headphone out and MP3 in, plus they're kickback designs so they're really handy.

[quote name='Chris2112' post='1229289' date='May 12 2011, 08:43 PM']You couldn't look much more like a bellend if you tried. Charles Bronson sunglasses, playing a comedy bass indoors? If he'd known the touch of a woman he'd put that down and have a word with himself.[/quote]

[quote name='martthebass' post='1228681' date='May 12 2011, 12:43 PM']At what point does an ERB become a Harp?[/quote] When you let me adjust the truss rod!

I stuck a set of black ones on my fretless Jazz, i wanted good, solid quality but on the cheap. That's pretty much what they offer, better than cheapies that cost just a tenner less. Very stable, well made, no-nonsense tuners. One thing to watch is that the baseplates are very big on the Fender style ones. On my Mighty Mite neck it was a bit of a squeeze. The D and G baseplates are actually touching - i didn't drill the holes btw! Still they all fit on ok though so not to worry. I'd say go for it, i can't think of any new elephant ear tuners out there that offer the same quality for £25 or less.

In a similar vein i find that it's the basses that you play the most that are the preferred ones. My main bass is stored away in it's case and hasn't been played in a year, however my Aria gets played daily and i totally love it. It gets played the most because it was £45 so i leave it lying around the house without any protection, so it ends up being the first bass i grab. I could happily just have that one bass, i'm thinking of flogging the Zoot really, i'd only spend the money on more cabs though!

Dug this out the other day mid-clearout, not worth much so i thought one of you lot might want it. It's a silver coloured Gameboy Pocket, loads of scratches but fully working. Screen has 1 horizontal line near the bottom which isn't noticeable when playing it. Plays all B&W Gameboy games and also some of the dual ones too, basically any cart with the notch in the upper right. Takes 2xAAA batteries. Free to good home!

[quote name='Bloc Riff Nut' post='1226407' date='May 10 2011, 04:43 PM']I posted on TalkBass and it's official... UTTER TOSH indeed. Hope everyone had a nice time venting. Yours, Phil. Maybe I should change my sig![/quote] Well you've got a much better sense of humour than the last guy who started a thread like this, fair play!

Hahaha, i love these threads! However, the OP needs to ditch that Trace sh1t and get an SVT with an 8x10, anything else and he's just kidding himself: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100953&hl=kidding+themselves"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...ding+themselves[/url] In other news: Flea is better than Mark King Jazzes beat Precisions PCs are for men, Macs are for boys Tabs will give you AIDS Slagging Muslims off is "racist"
