    [quote name='Gust0o' post='613602' date='Oct 1 2009, 10:02 AM']This is one stunning bass. It's a shame I could never sneak it past the wife. Have a bump.[/quote] Betcha could! I use several cunning plans for "sneaking past", one being that almost all of my basses are sunburst, so when another one joins the herd she doesn't notice.....

    Generally tend to tap the drum-lines, so maybe I'm playing the wrong instument. Earwigging a good bassline tend to make take up the "funky stance / walk" Exception is vocal basslines on Doo-wop records, can never resist singing along to those! Dook / dook / dook / dook of Earl / dook / dook....... etc

    Guitarist mate just bought the ltd edition (I think) "Apache" guit*r in white / gold hardware, have to say it's beautifully made; the woods, finish, and set-up absolutely top-notch.

    I only remember this as a cinema (briefly lived in Roath in te '80's - Angus st.), but I can imagine it making a hell of a great live music venue - could do with a similar one in Swansea. Damn shame, will be writing stroppy letter

    Shaggy replied to Merton's topic in Feedback

    Oli's the man (and quite a wheeler & dealer by the look of it), just bought a DHA pedal off him, posted straight back to me. Nice one!

    [quote name='walbassist' post='608308' date='Sep 25 2009, 08:18 AM']I [b]so[/b] want this back! It's such a beautiful bass and plays really well; best passive fretless I've ever used.[/quote] Thanks for the good words walbassist, and gotta say I've never acquired a bass before or since this so well set up.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='606663' date='Sep 23 2009, 02:18 PM'][s]Get a blackstar, maybe the HT boost, but whip the valve out and stick something better in it. Stock one pretty much sucks.[/s] Get the DHA VT1 purist, sounds totally ideal for what you want, its funny colours and you don't need funny eq and stuff. It's also true bypass.[/quote] Hmmmm ................(searches for spare DiMarzio model 1's at bottom of drawer to trade..........) Edit: PM'd

    Ta for the info. Just got me a non-master volume Vox AC30, looking for something to either overdrive it at low levels (like a power sponge), or a decent tube overdrive pedal - I think the Blackstar or similar is the way to go
  13. Shaggy
    How does the DHA VT1-Purist compare to the Blackstar HT? Interested!
  14. Shaggy
    Had my eye on this for a while as a potential bargain - didn't last long!

    [quote name='spike' post='603341' date='Sep 20 2009, 08:51 AM']I still do this one time out of three. I normally mess up because I get distracted by a good looking dancer in the audience.[/quote] Happened to me Friday night - came in on the E instead of the A on the yawn-inducingly simple "Chasing cars". Doh!

    [quote name='Les' post='601203' date='Sep 17 2009, 12:16 PM']Glad thats settled. It's the bloody drummer, isn't it ?[/quote] Our drummer nails it spot on every time, guitarist invariably cocks up the intro, singer generally forgets when the chorus changes back to verse, so it almost always goes in the second set when everyone's too p*ssed to notice It's OK, not my favourite, but definately a crowd-pleaser
  17. Shaggy
    No prob, second dibs!
  18. Shaggy
    These definitely gone?
  19. Shaggy
    Common theme to all us hopeless cases? - You're looking at it

    [quote name='henry norton' post='593312' date='Sep 8 2009, 09:26 PM']Used to be a Fender & MM man (MusicManMan!) All bolt on maple necks, but now getting into set neck Gibson inspired instruments - especially hollow bodied short scale and non reverse long(er than a fender) scale Thunderbirds. Don't know why, I suppose 23 years of the same old thing can end up pushing you the other way. (I hope my wife doesn't read this thread....)[/quote] That's damn spooky - I could have written that. You're not me are you? And I used to have an old Triumph ('66 650 Trophy)

    PM'd re the Aggie bag
  23. Shaggy
    Would have done just as well for Smashie & Nicie’s “theme anthem” as Bachman Turner Overdrives’s “Ain’t seen nothing yet” was. And none the worse for that. Class.

    I was watching it, and frantically trying to work out how I could fit in a drive to Grimsby this weekend whilst hoping it would go realistically high so I could stop agonising. Shoulda, coulda.......didn't.
  25. Shaggy
    Yup! Lookin' for a decent 18" cab for some serious trouser flapping........ :brow: Awesome basses Have to say though, the GS Galaxy (p1 on this thread) a more useful all-rounder, and always gets a "WTF is that?"
