I replaced it with a Brooklyn Gear Al!! I think I'll put cable ties in place on all my straps as a 'just in case' back up measure. I've had a better look around and all seems tickety boo

I was practicing with the new Overwater (like got it last night) this morning when it just plummeted to the ground This is a bass that's totally like, new, immaculate and unmarked! I thought initially that I'd cocked up fitting the straplocks but no: I checked it all round but there seems to be no obvious damage. It landed on its lower body edge on the carpet otherwise it would of been so easy to bend a tuner or a pot at the very least. I emailed Bass Collection this morning but got no reply. If you use one of these straps check it over. I don't jump around or anything like that either. Peter

Well, the overwater? There was me aware that Ed (Edstraker123) had a rather 'delish' Overwater up for sale and me having 5 assorted very nice basses likewise. Ed put a plan together and it was 3 out 1 in (plus some financial inducement my way). I think only having 3 playing basses means I bond with them more if that makes any sense. I will photo the Overwater I promise. I've put nickels on it (DR Sunbeams) done the intonation and managed to go 2 full turns down on all the saddles still with no hint of clank or buzz. It's really nice.

Yep that's me, Essex boy got lost.

This is where I feel I can put my gear in my signature without it becoming a tad embarrassing. Today saw me wave goodbye to 3 and say hello to one. I've actually got more basses than this but my fretless Jazz and Peavey T-40 are up for sale (and need to be sold - hint) and the Bass Collection is awaiting sale confirmation. Having unexpectedly gained the Overwater I'm feeling very much the Northern man I'm going to be putting the 1990 NT Thumb 4 up for sale soon having aquired the Overwater and I've not mentioned the 2 Rics which are very much put away to fondle occasionally and hope that they don't drop too far in value over the years. Yes its a good feeling having less basses for some strange reason

No sorry Kev just posting irrelevant and irreverent nonsense really

Helly Hanson made amps - wow

She's actually a Pompey supporter Me, It's up the blues too. CFC blues.

[quote]far mores so than I let on to Alan or Peter -Greenking- to be honest[/quote] Dave, you didn't hide it very well. When I heard you play the Harlot on Tuesday in Moffat I thought 'f***ing hell!!'. I am soooo chuffed for you mate.

Is that a Mandolin i.e. surely it needs more strings and is therefore a Uke? Re-reads your post - Mando bass yes it counts My favourite Mandobass player Hilary James

My daughter is a 'scummer' and I've pointed her your way. So if she says hello you know who she is Peter

Very nice

Too late! I actually did a soft reset/full reformat, not the pin in the hole bit. Hopefully this has sorted it. I think the problem was initiated by my download, possibly the wrong bitrate. Fingers crossed and thanks.

Its functioning okay at the moment but I will do that thanks. Peter

I just wonder if anyone else has had a problem like this: I downloaded some MP3s onto it a couple of days ago and initially the album tracks were displaying wierdly like `¬$^`&+~#' and then the whole unit went 'sqewif'and locked up. I just felt like it needed a re-boot but it wouldn't turn off and none of the controls had any affect. I put it away still on and contacted Fair Deal Music who I bought it from. I got it out of the box today and it had shut itself down on low battery. I connected it to the mains and restarted it. I connected it to the PC and did a disc cleanup and then deleted the dodgy MP3s. It all seems fine now. Anyone else had a similar problem. I'm wondering if it's got a fault now or not. I've lost the receipt and Fair Deal seem to be struggling to find my records anyway (I may of bought it over a year ago) Peter
