    Bought a lovely Silver Series P bass from Terry. An absolute gent- he even called into work on a saturday to track the delivery for me, as my neighbours had signed for the parcel the day before but hadn't yet dropped it to me. Solved the issue! Bass is a belter, communication was easy throughout and Terry is a lovely bloke to deal with. Thanks again Terry, Will

    Great basses. Would love a '62 to go with my '57

    [quote name='BruceBass3901' timestamp='1431177810' post='2768514'] Quite a few pedalboards of this type have a similar problem... I used get around it by just attaching a bit of velcro to either side of little bit of wood to put under the first and last pedals in the chain [/quote] Not a bad idea. I could even make a small bit of wood to fit in the whole pedalboard area, attached by Velcro, raising it all by 1/4" or so. There would still be more than enough clearance for the pedals when the case is shut. You have to wonder then why they didn't do this in the first place. Discreet- shocking prices- which is why I went Stagg and not Pedaltrain! Did you see the ZVEX pedal board that was £250? Just a bit of bent metal.

    So I've finally bought a pedal board/case to make my modest collection more organised, it's a stagg UPC 424 model, this one: http://www.andertons.co.uk/pedal-boards-amp-cases/pid19615/cid694/stagg-upc424-effects-pedal-flight-case.asp The issue I have, is the edges of the pedal board are too high in relation to the input/output jacks of any of my pedals. Therefore, unless the pedals are placed a good three inches or more from the edge of the board, I can't plug a jack into them! I can remove the pedal from the board, plug in, then place it down again, but this kind of defeats the object, and also puts pressure on the jack, which is then digging into the edge of the board. Are all pedalboard/flight case things like this? Or should I look for something else?

    Dear god I hate unboxing videos. I mean what, literally, is the point?

    [quote name='Bassmonkey' timestamp='1431012799' post='2766916'] The Killers was nicked from the New Order Crystal video [/quote] Never knew that! Hate the Killers, love that song. There used to be a local band around Cornwall called Marvin and the Gays. I quite liked that though

    I've been playing in the same band for 7 years and still struggle to look out front. I need to see where my hands are!

    If it's £20 delivered, I'll have a set.

    [quote name='paul h' timestamp='1430494418' post='2762052'] My preferred site as well. I might have to resort to last.fm [/quote] Isn't that a subscribe service now? It's not as good as it was, I know that. It was my favourite site about 5 years ago. I got into so many new bands listening to Last Fm. Type in the name of a band I liked, and have endless songs of suggested similar bands streamed to me. Every so often something I really liked would pop up, and I'd have to race to the computer to see who it was, as you couldn't rewind/repeat a track. But probably 4 years ago they changed the format somehow and it's never worked for me since.

    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1430510755' post='2762262'] Kitty's. Did the Junction take the mick as well? [/quote] I played for a share of beer money there once and we left with about £60! Didn't even cover our fuel.

    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1430503964' post='2762167'] Nice one. I used to play a gig in Plymouth where we were payed a percentage of the bar takings, which mysteriously always worked out to £150? [/quote] Was it the Junction by any chance?

    I sold an Epiphone EBO on eBay for £140, after 6 months use, which cost me £115 brand new, and were still available at that price. Who knows how this stuff works.

    If you can find one, an SQ series Squier would be a good choice. You should be able to find one for £400-ish.

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1430138561' post='2758266'] Planning on doing this, for when I start getting stuff that's a bit higher in the range... My mum notices a new one, but I've started on P-basses in Red/White. My dad knows my bass collection inside out now so I can't use any of the newer ones for gigs however (He's got a habit of coming a long to everyone to support his top son) [/quote] I had to leave a bass in the shed for 18 months to hide it from Mrs Cameltoe. Never suspected a thing! Looks like I may have a new bass on the way again now, so currently making a bass-shaped hole in my shed again....

    [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1429801710' post='2755118'] Aguilar's brand new fuzz pedal. They've only recently started shipping these and I don't think you can even find one it for sale over here yet. Virtually brand new, just taken out of the box to test for a few minutes. £115 posted http://youtu.be/-vTP909tUI0 [/quote] Shaky hands! Sounds lovely in the vid. Shame I've recently bought a few bits and pieces as that's right up my street.

    [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1429901969' post='2756258'] Perry Farrell? Though I like his voice anyway. [/quote] Good example. I don't like The Killers, but Brandon Flowers has a voice that made me want to puncture my eardrums with a fork. Jose Gonzalez? Really like his music.

    Poundland - non slip mat. £1!! Does the job. My bass terror has fallen off my cab more times than I care to remember when I haven't used it.

    I really like but don't have a project to put it in. Yet.

    [quote name='eubassix' timestamp='1429777986' post='2754747'] Hi Wayne - thanks for the interest/query. I will PM re. price. In the original post (OP) it does look like a beautiful looking (and sounding, from description & specs.) instrument. However... if you look at my photos (plus those here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258438-as-bad-as-it-sounds/page__fromsearch__1) it might become (more) obvious why I'm not happy. The finish is appalling (when photographed properly - this was not done in OP, neither was it mentioned !) - yet the instrument is claimed to be the work of one of Spain's top luthiers. Looks like it was done by the guy next door in his shed. I simply don't believe that this is the work of such, who apparently (claimed) worked with Jerzy Drozd. Well if he did (and constructed/finished this bass), then it's easy to see why he is no longer working for JD !! The parts are described in the title and throughout as 'high end' or 'top notch'. I didn't recognise or scrutinise them (based on trust and J's previous record) but once I received the extremely disapponting instrument (in terms of the trade/value) I did some research; as you can see from links (above) the bridge + tuners are valued at £8.98 (ebay/China). [/quote] This sounds like misrepresentation. Surely the mods can act on this?

    I always ask to try unplugged for this reason. I'm not interested in how a bass sounds until I know whether it feels right. But then, I only play P's so I already know how they sound 😉
