[quote name='majorlabelartist' post='559536' date='Aug 3 2009, 07:14 PM']I think someone has a bit of a chip on their shoulder[/quote] I suspect Bilbo said that with at least a bit of his tongue in his cheek, even if there is an element of truth in it. And I also think that most of the people are here because of their love of what they do (original, cover, tribute or any mixture of those ) rather than because they want to move product.

I thought maybe they were covering their ebay fees, but they have it at the same price in their online (outside ebay) store. £863 at GAK, though they do charge an extra £30 for the sunburst.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='559413' date='Aug 3 2009, 05:04 PM']I saw a Lace Helix in the Bass Merchant.[/quote] They are shown as one of the two dealers in the UK and Lace is one the list of makers on their menu (though they don't seem to have any at the moment). The other is D W Guitars in Medway, though I can't find them on the net. Nice looking bass though

No experience at all with these so can't give advice, though I would have thought that you will probably need to get one made for your bass - it will need to match the radius of the fingerboard. And there is a pic of one [url="http://www.musiker-board.de/vb/bastelecke/337845-wie-ndert-aktiv-elektronik-den-sound-meines-fretlessbasses.html"]here[/url], post #5. The thread is in german and despite the fact that the poster has the same avatar as me there is no connection!

I reckon this guy must be an estate agent. What do you think? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Versatile-Rare-Cort-B4FL-4-String-Fretless-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ180392387189"]Cort Fretless[/url]

[quote name='plumbob' post='558433' date='Aug 2 2009, 12:36 PM']Interesting ! Just found this on the Barfaced Compact site " The current price is £400 and we can ship to anywhere in the mainland UK for £25. As these cabs are designed for gigging the best way to know if these cabs are for you is to take them on a gig! We are thus offering a 14 day trial period for you to find out if this is your ultimate bass speaker solution. Return the cab undamaged to receive a full refund of both the £400 purchase price and the £25 outbound postage and packing. " Umm scratches chin in deep thought [/quote] Alex is also putting one of his cabs "on tour" for people to try out - have a look in his sub-forum for the latest itinerary

Properly fitted 15s are going to be your best bet, but given the price difference I would probably have a pair of 20s as well, and keep them on your keyring for any unexpected use.

Tis great when he wheres the goat horn hat..Does he/has he exclusively played Carl Thompson basses always??[/quote] He talks about the basses he plays (among other things) in the article in this months BGM

[quote name='majorlabelartist' post='558215' date='Aug 2 2009, 01:25 AM']You're totally right... i like your point a lot. i'm not being agist at all... if you have a 21 y/o singer songwriter with a main audience of 16-20 y/o females... it really only makes sense to have a band that fits with that performance image-wise. It's purely a business thing, no one should take it personally.[/quote] wasn't taken personally - couldn't find a tongue-in-cheek emoticon

Well I have a bass - think I fail on just about every thing else!
