[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1071420' date='Dec 29 2010, 01:06 AM']I've been having a good long think about this. Over the last thirty years, I've been in quite a lot of guitar / bass shops. And I can only think of three where my visits have been consistently satisfying. The good ones were Music Mart in Canterbury (dec'd afaik), Musical Exchanges in Birmingham in the 80's (def dec'd) and Peter Cook's in Hanwell (though I did once watch them sell a Marshall TSL full stack to a 12 yr old newbie and his Dad). By comparison to the sh**tiest of the sh*tt*rmost, The Bass Cellar is actually quite good. My sole visit to the Bass Gallery was shrouded by serious inebriation on my part, so I cannot comment with any accuracy.[/quote] I've just come back from Peter Cook's having just purchased for myself a Fender gig bag for my Jazz and without doubt certainly the nicest of people to deal with. I'm lucky theyre quite local to me. They have a really good tech comes to the shop on Saturdays as well.

[quote name='ezbass' post='1070850' date='Dec 28 2010, 11:41 AM']Stay on the Northern Line until Camden Town and go to The Gallery, problem sorted.[/quote] Won't have time for that but I shall definately look in Wunjos as in the past I've only ever experienced courteousy and helpfulness in there even though I've not wanted to buy at the time. One of the best shops in the area. Must say I've found Macaris to always be helpful. Past experience of the bass cellar left me feeling akin to that woman in Harry Enfield sketches of the shop that sells sh*t for stupid prices but without the laughs.

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1070744' date='Dec 28 2010, 08:34 AM']I walked out and went into Wunjos and had a good chat with the guy in there as well as trying out a 70's Fender P which did things to me that no woman could do! haha Morale of the story? I hope Bass Cellar goes bankrupt! Bass Chat should take it over and start selling there [/quote] Hope you had the courtesy to clean up after yourself. I shall be having a look around there tomorrow,got a hankering for a Jaguar.

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1049579' date='Dec 6 2010, 05:00 PM']I had one but sold it on to tarcher here on Basschat last year Love your cat shot too... I think I sold mine because it clashed with my cat! I'm all for colour co-ordinating instruments with pets [/quote] And I'm still loving it thanks. She's wearing black nylons now and looking even more gorgeous.

On my iphone 1. TheiReal book+ the jazz pack.This plays the chords for you in whatever style and tempo you want eg Bossa Nova 100bpm Latin or whatever you want. You get a backing of piano bass and drumsand you can adjust the levels of each to however you want it plus transposing if you wish. If you go to the Realbook forum(just a touch on the bottom rh corner of the screen) you can easily access hundreds more tunes and playlists that contributor have put there for your delictation.These are all free by the way. 2.The Amazing Slow Downer App Does what it says on the tin plus loops etc. These apps are bloody amazing and they cost peanuts,well,a few quid actually but not very much.

Not been around for a while but very sorry to read about Old Git. Thoughts are with his family freinds and all who knew him.

Best cover I've heard for ages. So mad its brilliant. Thanks for posting it

[quote name='Clarky' post='852656' date='May 31 2010, 02:42 PM']Well said, love or hate Pastorius the bass has a unique place in history and this was a very kind act by Rob T[/quote] Quite agree.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='852310' date='May 31 2010, 02:40 AM']Do you think you can discuss without being confrontational though?[/quote] Confrontational? Get your head out. Entwhistle was playing solos while Jaco was still in nappys. Two different bassists two different styles. Both innovative. Bass of doom....................I'll give you a tenner for it. as long as its got a case.

[quote name='P-punk' post='846571' date='May 24 2010, 03:18 PM']My Candy Apple Red CIJ Jazz with a black scratchplate. [/quote] I'think I've just fallen in love again. Car blocks/rosewood/binding, o bloody hell that is very very nice.

[quote name='Pkomor' post='834573' date='May 11 2010, 07:23 PM']Does anyone know of any cheap heavy duty stands? I have hundreds of normal ones, but would like something for hardcore! I've seen [url="http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?productid=1200"]this[/url], Any advance on £15?[/quote] I bought one a couple ofyears year ago and tis fine.

I bought a s/h amplug a few weeks back and its great for what it is. Wouldn't pay full price for one though.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='802068' date='Apr 10 2010, 07:52 PM']Thats a horrific asking price. They're less than a quarter of that price usually.[/quote] Oh really. I must keep an eye out. If thats the case then its a lot of bass for not a lot of money.

[quote name='Chris V.' post='801262' date='Apr 9 2010, 09:12 PM']Hey guys, I've got a valve amp which needs a general check-up along with new tubes and fixing some loose connections. Any recommendations for shops or people in the Guildford area who can do this kind of work well, without ripping me off? Obviously there's Anderton's, but to be honest I really don't want to have to deal with them. I've found them to be slow and expensive in the past. Thanks, Chris[/quote] [url="http://www.stevesamps.co.uk/"]http://www.stevesamps.co.uk/[/url] Look this guy up and he's more local than a local thing found locally.

[quote name='absolutpepper' post='799537' date='Apr 8 2010, 09:59 AM']Hey I've recently just picked up an Ashdown Little Giant 1000 and i've noticed that the speaker connections at the rear are Speakon type. Im really hoping to use it with an Ampeg 8x10 at rehearsal tonight and was wondering if I would need to have a Speakon - Speakon or Speakon - Jack cable? Anyone got any ideas? Cheers Chris[/quote] Ever thought of googling ampeg 8x10? If you did you would see it has both. Simples Bloody youth of today,I don't know.

Met with Hedi Sunday morning. All respect to the guy,he'd been gigging Saturday night and answered his phone promptly Sunday morning at 9.00am when I called to say I was on my way. Met up ,done the deal and was on my way all nice and prompt. Nice chap studying at the Guildhall,Iwish him all the very best with his career.

[quote name='Stu-khag' post='777096' date='Mar 17 2010, 10:23 AM']Hey guys Ive finally brought my new bass home but as space is a bit of an issue and dont fancy my clumsy girlfriend putting her foot through it I need a stand for it. Can anyone reccomend one? I dont want to spend too much but then again I dont want a cheap and nasty one either so any advice is much appreciated! cheers stu[/quote] Would I be correct in assuming she doesn't look on here. Anyway I thought she'd been promoted from girlfriend? Glad you got your bass anyway.

Think of it as supplied with mojo.

There was a couple on ebay. Don't know if there done.

Musicmaster has a slab type body and the pickup is a telecaster pup. Mustang has a scalloped out back so its more comfortable. The neck on my Mustang feels marginally wider than the Musicmaster. They both give lovely tone,the Mustang similar to the P bass. I know bugger all about the Bronco. Mine are both '77/8. Mustangs are more expensive,they have a better bridge and through body stringing.
