I'm usually left alone to do what I do.

It's great, innit? That guitar he uses is so bizarre. It's so 'un-JJ Cale'. Crazy guy.

Seriously, Antiloco - if I can just ask you one question: What do you have against trains? Are you also keen to abolish trams and other light rail?

Don't feed the troll...

Ah, that's a shame - they were useful 'cos he played properly.

I didn't realise Ken had binned his. Any idea why?

Ha.. Sorry about that. Amp isn't here yet - I'll post when it lands. I'll be hanging on to my Walkabout for a bit just in case... As for the videos... I don't really bother any more. I can't record them well enough and my playing sucks. :-)

Squinting at the pics on a phone, it looks like it could be a legit early 80s parts bin special.

I did!

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1360159419' post='1965817'] That one looks great but i prefer to get something that doesn't look like a Laptop bag because it increases the chances of someone grabbing it at the end of a gig. [/quote] True. Albeit the world's heaviest laptop.

[quote name='pietruszka' timestamp='1360155999' post='1965704'] A quick search shows GuitarGuitar have a couple left in stock, but they are a whopping £799. Dan [/quote] Whoa... looks like I got myself a bargain. :-)

Thanks for the offer, Dan... much appreciated! Ghost_bass - if my calculations are correct, [url="http://www.odysseygear.com/odyssey-products/brldigital.html"]this should be a decent fit[/url]. Check first, though! I have an Odyssey bag for my Walkabout, and they're great. Very protective, but light. Having said that, I don't know where you would get one in the UK.

Like I say, DivaStropChat.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1360107905' post='1965097'] Dummies, prams, stuff getting thrown etc. The BC usual! [/quote] It's getting worse, isn't it? Let's rename it DivaStropChat.

This thread is awesome! What's it about?

[quote name='PJT' timestamp='1360100857' post='1964944'] Thanks guys, for organizing this. Great to meet you all. Good company and my son and I were made to feel very welcome. Jay-James sends his apologies for monopolizing your rig, he lost track of time (typical 14 year old) and I was too busy talking to realise!!! Just give me a shout if you ever want to try the Steinberger [/quote] You're very welcome. The young'un's a talented lad...

Little miss WoT, 6 years old, after witnessing an REALLY old bloke try to down the wrong way of a dual carriageway, narrowly avoiding carnage: Little miss WoT: [i]'Why did the man do that, daddy?'[/i] Me:[i] 'Because he's really old, sweetheart. And sometimes really old people get confused and do silly things.'[/i] Little miss WoT: [i]'You mean like the man who shot one of The Beatles?'[/i]

[quote name='Etienne' timestamp='1360079158' post='1964490'] Hey Michael, this is interesting reading indeed! Are you really considering moving on the Bergs?! GAS for a pair of Baer ML112s by any chance? [/quote] I like the look of them - especially the lack of a tweeter - but I'm still a neo Luddite. I need to try one... I've got my eye on something else, but wether it comes to owt, I dunno...

Good stuff!

Yip - speak to the Bass Doc. The bridge cover didn't change as far as I'm aware - he can source those for a good price. He also has access to some lovely tort ply - not the pepperoni stuff you see all too often these days. it's the closest to the 70s stuff I've seen.
