I watched a bit of the coverage. I'm completely out-of-touch when it comes to what's in the hit parade at the moment, but when The Semi-Precious Weapons opened one of their songs with the line 'I can't pay my rent, but I'm f*****g gorgeous!', I just thought... that's proper rock and roll.

[quote name='seashell' post='1269913' date='Jun 15 2011, 12:12 PM']Thanks for posting this of Constance Redgrave! To my shame I hadn't heard of her. Now I want to BE her!![/quote] She's awesome. Spikedrivers are great...

[quote name='mart' post='1269914' date='Jun 15 2011, 12:12 PM']I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. [/quote] If you had, you would know.

[quote name='eude' post='1269856' date='Jun 15 2011, 11:32 AM']Oooo, pressure's on then I'm it'll be fine dude, I'll probably order myself one soon enough too. Cheers, Eude[/quote] Yeah.. it's probably wise to hang on and let me take the bullet if I was wrong.

[quote name='eude' post='1269831' date='Jun 15 2011, 11:19 AM']Nice one dude, looking forward to seeing the results. Are you going to something that just slips over the top allowing access to the handle on the top? Eude[/quote] That's right! It's like a padded version of the Walkabout Scout cover I used to have. It just drops over the top with a hole for the handle. I've asked for a side-pocket too, to fit a kettle lead in. Mind you,[url="http://www.amplifiercoversonline.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=107_36&products_id=2037"] they've added it to their on-line catalogue[/url] based on my measurements. I hope I was accurate... Time will tell...

[quote name='Doddy' post='1269802' date='Jun 15 2011, 10:53 AM']Very true....although she's a really good player aswell.[/quote] Indeed...

Cosntance Redgrave: Annie Clements deserves a mention for out-and-out hotness:

[quote name='crez5150' post='1269699' date='Jun 15 2011, 09:42 AM']I thought that the ad's were driven by either websites that are from or related to cached items on your computer....[/quote] ^^^ this. I bought a shed online last week. Since then, the only Ads I've seen have been for online shed retailers. *rasies eyebrow at OP*

Two of my friends met after being press-ganged by the record company to dress up as Wombles for a TOTP appearance in the 70s. They hit it off, got married, and lived happily ever after. TRUFAX!

Order placed for a cover from Roqsolid... 40-odd quid. I'm going to use it more for gigging with one of my bands, so it'll be worth it. I'll report back with pics, etc. when the cover arrives.

I hate myself for knowing this, but... It's Nigel Clutterbuck. The only man in the world who is named after his playing style. His middle name is 'Bloodyawfuldin', apparently.

Hmm... I've just bought my first new set (to keep in reserve) for about five years. The packaging is very different. I hope they haven't changed them, but barring any breakages I won't find out for another six or seven years. ha ha.

[i]That's[/i] how to sell a bass!

[quote name='Jesso' post='1267993' date='Jun 13 2011, 10:14 PM']Heres what I did.... just got rid of the stock strap and got my local shoemaker to bolt on a leather one. Working a treat so far. As a side note, are any of you promethean owners noticing that you are clipping the output when your playing at decent volume?[/quote] It was actually the steel loops that gave way on mine... they bent open! I lost faith in it at that point. Mine has clipped occasionally driven VERY hard at 8ohm, but nothing audible happened...

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='1267816' date='Jun 13 2011, 08:08 PM']THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SITE FOR BASS ENTHUSIASTS, EXPENSIVE BASSES, CHEAP BASSES, WHATEVER , ALL I CAN SEE IS GUYS LOOKING AT PICS AND MAKING COMMENTS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, ITS A WASTE OF TIM ADVERTISING ON HERE AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.

Do we have a 'Classic Thread' archive on BC? If not, I nominate this one as the first entry. It's got the lot.

He's going to charge $100 for shipping a pot???* What a rip-off... *Not really. It's a joke, innit.

Why close it? What would that change?

[quote name='Dubs' post='1267193' date='Jun 13 2011, 12:25 PM']Not bad actually. The case I use has "dual-sided high density ABS plastic shell inside the case" and rediculously thick padding (which also gives a nice snug fit). When I said "decent gig bag", I didn't mean one of the £30 Warwick ones. Anyway, each to their own, and everyone has to individually assess the risks to their instrument based on their typical usage/trasportation/gigs, etc... Based on some of the above comments, I can only assume that a lot of you haven't seen or used a decent gigbag? I'm not talking about cheap "business generators", I'm talking about something that costs as much as, if not more than, a good hard case. I've owned cheap hard cases that I wouldn't trust to protect a bass as well as the [url="http://www.oakleighmusic.simply-shops.net/proddetail.php?prod=bodyglove-bass-gigbag"]gigbag I'm currently using[/url].[/quote] I used to use a couple of these: Very nice (and pricey) high-quality hard case / soft case halfway-house. After a near miss involving a sliding flight case, I shifted to the Hiscoxes. I know semi-hard cases have their place, but they're not for me. Each to their own, as you say!
