That is bloody gawwwjus! I've never been a fan of maple fretboards, but that really goes! Love it!
IMO Everything should be in Sonic Blue!

If my band suggested that I would "change the look" of their faces

Serious bass face !! [/quote]

That's almost a perfect negative of your avatar!

The brickwork is in a 'Flemish' bond:

I'm liking these! I'd like a chrome pick guard, but don't even want to think how much it'd cost to get made!

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='805409' date='Apr 13 2010, 09:43 PM']haha,,,I hope the next pic of that set was setting fire to the cab and dancing round it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(ive had major bad experience with the MB range!!)[/quote]

Ha ha, I got to kick the full stack over (there were another two 2x10s on top, it's in the 'show us your rig' thread) for our muisic vid! Personally never had any prob with the MB, apart from the weight I suppose...

P.S Nice bass!

On another note, is anyones rig taller than them?
Mine is, but I'm short...

Love that colour! I have a Jagstand geetar in Fiesta Red.
Fantastic looking bass.

Pause for a second, and give my amp a filthy look...

I'm Li, I'm the only boy in my band [b]No Plan B[/b]. We keep it real just as a 3 piece.
We're straight up [b]Grunk[/b]! (Grunge & Punk).
Our myspace is: [url="http://www.noplanb.info"]www.noplanb.info[/url] Clever eh?

I'm a total whore for image.
Being young (ahem...) and in an originals band, people can have certain expectations before we arrive. I.e. Teens with encores an 15w amps. When we turn up with pro instruments and large rigs it can help dispell this thought. But then again a bit of the 'grunge' ethos / image died inside me when I spent over 1k on a rig!

IMO I think it's vital as to how you present yourself as a band.

I had a Marshall MBC410 delivered to work by DHL from Soundslive.
40Kg, massive box.
Got delivered next day, almost like a letter, just slightly larger, and a slightly more bemused delivery man. I think the amount on the postage (on the box) was £13 or thereabouts.

I'm in the area too, will keep a lookout, I'll keep an eye on gumtree for you too, that sucks!!

Gear Tetris:

Simple rules, post the make and model of your car, and a pic of how you slot all your gear in:

Toyota Celica (brave, I know)

Typical gig:
Hartke HA3500 Head
Marshall MBC410 Cab
PA System
3 Cases of leads
2 Basses (one in case, one wedged behind)
1 Can of Red Bull



Music Video:
Hartke HA3500 Head
Marshall MBC410 Cab
2 Hartke 210’s
1 Fender Jaguar Bass (in box)
Change of clothes, Red Bull


Both pics show classic arrangements of gear to follow the outline of the rubber boot seal.

I know there's already a thread about getting paid for gigs, but presumably there's a cheque for £250 from Harry Hill in the post...

Yep! Completely 100% with My Fender Jaguar. Not a thing I'd change.
My Ol' Flying V, yeah, about 75% happy with it. Just the weight & neck dive I don't like.

If you're 95% happy - where's the 5%? Surely you could make some mods?

I think we're all looking at it from the wrong angle.

How much would it cost for you to have a 30 day road trip with a bunch of mates?
If you happen to rock out a few times along the way, bonus.

I'd think of it more of a trip than a money making scheme

Otherwise: Don't buy fuel from Holland, stay in hostels, drink where the locals drink and you'll be 'reet. Have fun!

I approached this scientifically and have concluded:

If A is the time spent in your car,
and B is the time you spend playing bass,

1 is the value of your car
2 is the value of your bass

If B2>A1 then yeah, spend £5k on a bass.

Unfortunately tho, using this formula, I should spend £100k on my office chair....

Get the Tippex out!!!

They are a bit complicated. I spent a day fiddling with it, and have just left it. Bugger playing with the settings between songs!

I'm obviously in love with the red, but our guitarist has just got a Mustang in Daphne Blue which is gawjus!

Monk: Have you ever been curious what yours would look like with a BLACK scratchplate?

I'm pretty sure it will. When I bought my Jaguar I ordered a 'standard' hardcase, and it fits fine. Good Luck!

Corrrr!! Here's one for the ladies...

I think I've been out with her....
Is that a pair of dirty pants on the music stand in the background?!?
