Now that wouldn’t be because it resembles a certain football teams colours would it?

Never really thought of that to be honest, just really like that colour scheme!

What colour blue is that? The colour scheme (with the tort scratchplate) and maple neck is fast becoming my favourite on a Precision.

I love the hammer on the work bench. You never know when a bass needs just a little bit of "friendly persuasion".

Have to applaud David Martin in goal. I've never seen a player virtually in tears over winning a game. Let's get rid of Roberto. He's an absolute liability. Even Alan Mcknightmare was better

I think they were on a par with each other. Roberto was shocking though. Couldn't catch a cold that fella.

its good they do something for those with hearing problems ,,,,,,,,but Shirley , its got to be easier to get someone else to do it while  he sings ,

To be honest, I'd rather he did it. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a mic

Other than that the season going well so far? 

Swimmingly sir. Couldn't be better.

I can't stand Maiden with Knob Dickinson signing for them ... much prefer Paul Dianno. Kit doesn't look bad though all things considered. I met Steve Harris at a game once back in the late 1980s. He had stripy spandex leggings on. Jesus, he looked like he'd just finished the Jane Fonda workout. Lovely bloke all the same.

As for the new ground - they found an unexploded WWII German bomb near the site and I really wanted it to go off and destroy the Olympic Stadium so we'd never have to play in that souless bowl ever again. Bloody Luftwaffe, couldn't even get that right !

I got the old crest tattooed on my leg - just in time for the Dildo brothers and that witch Karen Brady to change it. I'll never forgive them for moving from the old ground. I've been to the Tax Payer's Stadium about five times since we moved. I've vowed I'll never go again. It's a karzi. You need binoculars to see the pitch, they've totally killed the atmophere and the transport arrangements are a complete joke.

We've lost 7 of our last 9 games and we're playing like we're an amateur side. Even Douglas Bader could get a game for us and probably get man of the match too ! We're about to sack our manager and it looks like we'll be in a relegation battle this season. Again.

And in honour of our midfield they will be reissuing their classic song, Jog to the hills

..... and breathe ....

Alan Nimmo seems to pull it off and even throws in a kilt for good measure 

Why is that man is wearing a skirt?

I've got the HT-1 amp and it's great. I use it with both headphones and through the speaker. It's a fantastic little amp, but I'd doubt you could gig with it.

If it absolutely has to be valve, I'd recommend the Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister 36 if you can find one. They're awesome and easily loud enough for pub gigs.

I can't stand jazz. It sounds like a fire in a pet shop to me.

BUT I can appreciate decent bass playing, and that first album of his was a sublime effort. The techniques and use of notes was just amazing.

It sounds great. I was disappointed with the Ampeg SVT3 Pro as an amp, it just didn't really do the bass justice, but through the Gallien Krueger it was like chalk and cheese. Really great mid presence and plenty of bottom end too. This was a dep gig and everyone in the band commented on how great it sounded.

@WHUFC BASS you do realise that your Euro 5LX in your OP is one of the most 'liked' purchases ever! I'm not surprised, with its PJ config and general superb design it's an almost perfect bass!

ha! It'd be one of the most hated if I was in the picture I'm sure !

I had the 2x10 combo. It weighed about the same as Wales does but the sound was killer.

I saw a white Steve Harris bass on eBay recently (complete with West Ham paintwork) for £650 and almost pulled the trigger on it but after reading reviews on them, I'm not sure I'd want one. The weight of them is something else apparently and to be honest, I'd much rather save a bit more and invest in another Spector rather than blow it on a precision.

Now Sold

I shouldn't laugh but that was funny. Typical British technology ...

From one bad amp to another ... !

Ha ... I had one of these back in 1982 as my very first amp. They're truly terrible and as he points out, almost useless for bass. They fart and distort and quite low volume levels and really don't offer much at all in the way of good tone. The £250 is ambitious to say the least. These things are worth about 50 sheets top whack, certainly no more and I'd discourage anyone from buying one. They were crap back in the 80s and they're crap now.

The only thing it's useful for is hurling at the singer's head when they ask you to transpose a song into another key because "they can't sing that high / low" whilst they try to get a pair of headphones over a cowboy hat (this actually happened!).

That's a really nice Euro mate. Mind if I ask how much you paid for it >?
