[quote name='tombboy' post='104074' date='Dec 13 2007, 08:57 PM']F##k me, character assasination or what?!!!! MA has NEVER professed to being the best bass player in the world and I doubt anyone would begrudge him a drink during a gig. But for someone to post a YT video under the headline 'DRUNK BASS SOLO' whilst said poster is (probably) serving at f##king McDonalds is a little sad. He's a showman. We know he can play better and we know other can play better.................... who cares!!! It's still Michael Anthony who will earn more in a month off the back of Jump than we can in a year!!!!! And to top it all, he's a really humble guy, if you read what is being said about the latest VH reunion. Also....... it's over ELEVEN years old this video.... original poster..... where have you been???? Jon bon Jovi was wearing Leather & Lace and Alec John Such was sticking his pout out so far it could've knocked out Ricky Hatton!! It's about the show![/quote] Ooooooooooooooh get you!

I love my sandberg, I'm not a fan of P basses, but that does look very nice.

Slow news day then...

I know that it shortens the link for display, but how come when I click on ones others have posted it just tries to go to the link with the ..... in the middle that's been shortened, and therefore doesn't work?

Someone message him and ask if he'll end the auction early, just to see if he explodes.

The jack socket on my sandberg is a bit dodgy, it's a barrel socket, which I've not came across before, it basically seems to lose contact when it wiggles around (technical term there), if it was a "normal" jack socket I would bend the contact part in to make sure it touched properly, I take it with the barrel socket I just need to replace it? Are they all the same size?

Minus The Bear are a good band, my old Basis M 2000 died too mid gig!

You all take way way more then me, if I can borrow a cab (most of the time get told I have to anyway) then I will, so.... 1 x bass 1 x rucksack (leads, tuners, pedals etc) 1 x amp in laptop bag (soon to be amp in the rucksack too) If I have to take a cab, then just a 2x10.

I first gigged 3 months after starting to play bass, I pretty much started as a mate asked me to play in his band.

Since you say signature bass, I guess that means that Shuker are making it as a standard model available to others after? Or is it just a normal custom?

Aren't the preamps on the svt3-pro's 12ax7, and the switchable drive uses another 12ax7 and a 12au7 but the poweramp is solid state?

[quote name='The Burpster' post='100491' date='Dec 6 2007, 08:10 PM']However a certain Mr Clapton got two freaky Dutch acid heads to paint a nice Gibson LP, so it looked like a year 4 painting class had had it for a day.... That LP is now worth a small house in the country, and has it own signature model copying it to every detail..... Strange world we live in....![/quote] Do you mean the Fool SG? That was painted by dutch artists The Fool.

Well, you can see how they could get those 2 items mixed up! Hahah.

The web bloke (that I spoke to) seemed nice enough, and I am sure they are good usually, they didn't annoy me like the basscentre have before for example, I'd try them again in the future.

Yeah, but come on, imagine saying an amp didn't exist that was sitting in front of the person on the phone and is on the markbass website (and catalogues I presume?)

A couple of days ago I decided to order a Little Mark II, I chose Absolute Music as they had 2 in stock, and with a google checkout discount I could get it for £419 delivered, so I placed the order, first of all my bank stopped the payment as they thought it was fraud, which is no-ones fault, spoke to them, retried payment and it went though, yesterday Absolute Music sent it to me! Get home today as it arrived while I was at work, and oooh a Markbass Box with LMII on the side (I bet you can see where this is going), get all excited, open it up, and what do I have, a Little Mark 250! Haha, one that says LMII on the back, and has a serial number which matches the box that says LMII, so I guess markbass are at fault, anyway, phoned Absolute, the web order dude spoke to the guitar dude, who said no such model exists, there is no 250! I tell him that the bloke doesn't know what he's talking about, and that's the end of the story really, should get it picked up tomorrow, and then get a refund (which will take ages as usual I bet), they don't have a LMII in stock, so no amp for me!
