    Welcome to BC, stay away from the 'For Sale' section though

    I gave up reading, there's only so much SHOUTING I CAN TAKE.

    Couldn't find a thread for phsycocandy in here so I will start anew. Just bought an Aria from him and it arrived promptly and very well packaged. Deal with confidence.

    100w Kustom combo available, but Lancs is a bit of a distance from you.

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1367683326' post='2068388'] Just reading that brightened my day. Very funny. Are you interested in trades? [/quote] Guild B-301, cash my way of course

    Ok got a couple of dogs to dispose of: [u]Peavey Milestone 3 Fretless[/u] Bought this 6-7 years back and defretted it. Started stripping down the body, never finished it. Did some bad routing (so bad I ended up chiselling bits out) that let me fit a second pair of Peavey pups (glued to the originals) and hacked the scratch plate back. My intentions were to fill the body and do a proper route then get a new custom scratchplate etc. but I never got round to it. It's playable but scruffy/battered/abused and fitted with Roto flats (jack needs tightening though). [u]Cheetah Acoustic Bass[/u] A dog amongst dogs, bought with the intention of defretting but never found time. Piezo pup and pre amp are about the only good thing about this. Intonation is way out, there are all sorts of rattles when its played and the neck appears to have been repaired at some point. Defretting would possibly be the only way to improve this nasty piece of wood. Appears to be strung with Chinese fencing wire. Its probably best suited to hanging on a wall rather than playing and comes in a canvas bag to hide its shame. So there we have it ladies and gentlemen, a prized pair of pooches. Lets get down to nitty gritty. IF (and that is a HUGE if) anyone wants one of these then the price is........ nowt. Well nearly nowt, all I ask is you make a small donation to BC funds at some point, whatever you feel they are worth to you. No that doesn't mean asking BC to give YOU money because their worth is negative ! Collect from Bolton or I will actually deliver for free within a 10 mile radius (I must be mad !) 321....... GO

    [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1367585618' post='2067249'] PS: Off topic, but this seems like a good place to let y'all know that the programme for this year's Manchester Jazz Festival was announced yesterday: [url="http://www.manchesterjazz.com/festival-programme-2013/"]http://www.mancheste...programme-2013/[/url] If anyone's coming up for it then let me know. I'll be mooching around as much as I can... [/quote] Whoah ! Mr Scruff at The Band On The Wall, I'm going to pencil that one in.

    From all these posts I assume there is a secret BC Scatology clique I have been unaware of ?

    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1367450028' post='2065976'] Oh, [i]that[/i] sort of Mojo. I thought you might have meant the 'Ready to leap tall buildings at a single bound, faster than a speeding bullet' kind of mojo in which case said Mojo would commence from the moment I walked into the venue. I get terribly excited, y'know. [/quote] OT but I am so disappointed that Mr Del Var has moved from Ultima Thule to Dorset. I suppose the weather must be a little milder there.

    If this is still here in a couple of weeks when I've 'cleared the decks' to keep SWMBO happy then its mine.

    [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1367397732' post='2064997'] What's the point? Is it better than a bit of wood? Is it quicker to make than cutting out a bit of wood? Is it cheaper than a bit of wood? Etc, etc. [/quote] I would love to see a manufacturer attempt to create those bodies out of wood !

    [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1367243377' post='2063037'] Does this count? [/quote] Does MDP know you have nicked his headstock decal ? Or is he your luthier ?

    I can fit my 3/4 db in a Yaris so a Golf should be good to go.

    Would love to see the manual for the guitar ! A lot of the guitarists I have known struggled with anything more complex than 'PRESS BUTTON A ,B OR C'

    [url="http://www.playjazznow.com/"]http://www.playjazznow.com/[/url] Has some backing tracks with common changes you can buy . I bought a couple of packs and they are good fun for just messing around and finding out what works and what doesn't.

    [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366724611' post='2056433'] The most interesting thing about rammstein's bass is the tone. Mad! There are a few pretty distinct basslines in there too. [/quote] Love Rammstein too but all too often the bass is drowned out, what the hell they are still great !

    [quote name='Musky' timestamp='1366450088' post='2052701'] Or you could go for a bit of Wiseblood or The Gerogerigegege. If nothing else they'll be dead happy when you finally come on. ] [/quote] I spent 7 mins waiting for Wiseblood to start and 5 mins wondering if my soundcard/codecs were buggered listening to The Gerogerigegege. You owe me 12 mins you b*stard.

    [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366661904' post='2055747'] Haha! Potato bread is what makes the fry! I nearly went mad at a waitress when I ordered a fry in England and it had no potato bread, but then I just felt sorry for you all [/quote] There ya go Milty, career choice made ! You can become an itinerant missionary travelling the UK preaching about the goodness of potato bread and ranting against all religions Shame theres no room in your heart for pasta, you could have become a Pastafarian minister like me ( I have been touched by his noodly goodness). [url="http://www.venganza.org/"]http://www.venganza.org/[/url] in case anyone is wondering what the hell I'm wittering about.

    Apology

    [quote name='charic' timestamp='1366639085' post='2055259'] Somewhat fittingly, parcelforce arrived at my house just 2 hours ago. I was disappointed, they brought the wrong PC case dammit! [/quote] Happily they have just delivered my Raspberry Pi, let the fun begin

    Apology

    grumble replied to CPBass's topic in General Discussion

    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1366637833' post='2055222'] May I in turn apologise for my own unforgiveably impertinent post in the OP's original thread. I do not even have the explanation (as mentioned in passing above by others) of being either blind drunk or in a bad mood. Just being self-righteous again. Sorry. [/quote] You are forgiven Mr Del Var on condition that you take delivery of an urgent Parcelforce package for a Mr Icastle....
