Look forward to seeing the pics a bloke on Talkbass did a similar thing I think

Too much time on his hands, but cool nonetheless! [url="http://vimeo.com/6739680"]Experibass video[/url]

Some w*nker has hacked Rockabillybass.com and they've had to take the site offline. I mean what's the point of attacking a bass forum it's hardly the Pentagon. I hope they can get it back up and running it's my other fave bass site apart from basschat.

I was at a festival there and packed some of my used under garments round the neck so that maybe stopped the baggage handles manhandling it

Well I just packed the thing with bubble wrap 3 quid from staples and I think it's okay mind you haven't looked at it!

Hey if any basschatters are at Bestival say hello I'll be the one playing the big rubber band sounding thing that is my palatino!

It comes with a thing which is more kagoul than bag really.

I drew a blank too

Hi folks anyone got an ideas for a bag/case for a palatino ve500, I've got a gig down south next week and I'm going to fly so I'm not taking my upright. On talkbass some guys have mentioned making a case but I'd rather just buy something, snowboard, bags ski bags, keyboard bags an ideas appreciated. I had the dimensions somewhere but can't find them I think the bag would need to be about 170cm.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='584847' date='Aug 30 2009, 12:06 AM']Thanks for responding. You say 'bitch to play in the traditional manner [etc.]'. Did you try playing in some other manner?[/quote] Well you could just tune it like a six string bass and play single notes, I did that it had a bit of an upright sound but didn't really have the volume. I reckon you have to give the proper technique a go really.

I love those wee triplets the bloke does on the vihuela

They have the Lucida in CC in Glasgow bizarrely the are distributed by an Italian bloke in Glasgow which was a bit odd.... It's chinese but seems quite well put together. Tho I have to say it's a bitch to play in the traditional manner tuned too A D G C E A you play octaves plucking 2 notes at once it has a lovely mellow sound but not easy. I'm going to make an admission since I bought the upright I haven't played it too much but I am now going to to try an get a couple of hours in a week. Anyway the main man in the Guitarron world is Natividad de Santiago he developed the plucking thing and I have a few books and stuff so if you want any info give me a shout. Check these guys out !

Cheers mate I'll give em a bell.

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows of a hire shop in the Southampton, Isle of Wight area I'm playing at Bestival and getting the bass down looks like a nightmare as we were hoping to fly, alternatively does anyone know of a flightcase for hire in Glasgow?

Yeah should be good we are playing two sets so really looking forward to it....

The Chihuahuas are pleased to announce we are playing 2 sets at Rob Da Bank's Bestival. The first being in the Polka Tent at 9.00 and later at 11.00 in Club DaDa. If anyone makes it down be sure to say hello!

Hey Paul you are the man in the know you were spot on about my basses!

It looks in great nick, Boosey and Hawkes are just importers does it say anything else on the label. My B&H is a golden strad I have to admit I love it it's a great bass. I'd take it and get it professionally set up though I reckon a bus journey might be a drag!

Hi Folks i wonder if anyone knows where I can get a cheap German bow I picked a up French bow in the UK easily ut there don't seem to be any German ones. I find the French bow really uncomfortable and the underhand technique seems much more natural.... Cheers Stevie
