Can't remember the name. Pub in Falkirk town centre, side road, little pay car park opposite, Very busy pub. Bands play upstairs. Raised stage right next to the bogs entrance. Perfect for drunken numpties to fall UPWARDS onto stage knocking bass players and bass into back wall Or pissed sound engineer in Preston, falling over, knocking two basses out of stands, onto rims of bass drums. A couple of a myriad. I've never damaged any of my basses, there's plenty of other muppets to do it for you

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1378798637' post='2204685'] My useless memory Karl, just visited your feedback page, only to find I commented on it at the time [/quote] Didn't like to say , but I was very grateful for your comments!

So even 20 years ago, they made the odd good one in Mexico then

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1378792708' post='2204638'] That is a worry, didn't occur to me that any of that had gone on here. [/quote] Extremely rare Gary, but it happened to me. See page two of my feedback. He HAS in fairness changed his behaviour since then, but he had negative feedback from me and two others. He also tried to screw Ash, who was much wiser. This guy changed his member name last December, losing his negative feedback. Mine was still on my feedback,still is, despite asking mods to remove his comments. So, yes, rare, but it happens.

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1378790702' post='2204632'] I guess I wouldn't leave feedback cause I don't even know where you'd do it. Here's the thing with feedback though...I find it's either too flattering or too dismissive. In other words, most of it is useless. If someone is easily impressed or someone just wants to knock you down what's to be gained? Few people can critique music objectively, since taste, is subjective. I'll say this about what I heard. It's nice enough. Well perfomred. Professional. Bass playing sounds good. I didn't find it especially captivating, but it's hard to get into music you never heard before. The bass had too much low end. I get that you want it up front but if it's loud and boomy it just sounds amateurish. The kick drum also shared the sonic space of the bass ( a boost around 300hz) and that made things more woofy. It's not the type of thing that's getting record contracts, not to mention the age factor. But at a certain point, music has to be about making art and/or entertaining others. Getting angry because they aren't paying attention isn't the best PR toward getting more fans. That's my feedback. In part. [/quote] Completely missing the point. Feedback is vitally important (especially for gear tarts). People who do not leave it are lazy and discourteous. Negative feedback is also important. The only other thing about it that narks me is con artist members changing their name to get rid of the bad feedback they have had (you know who you are pal ).

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1378740664' post='2204013'] ...Nothing is real. [/quote] So nothing is real, therefore if you were to give me your custom P bass you would be giving me nothing, so I would have to give you nothing for it. So I'll be round in the morning to collect it

When I see Jedson's and original Futuramas going for skywards of £300 I think if somebody buys them they are classic more money than sense. They were crap planks with strings then and definitely won't have got any better. £300 would see me with a good MIM. YES they do exist

If it had been Fiesta Red it would have been me that got it. It wasn't, I didn't!

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1378658243' post='2202870'] A Lake Placid Blue, matching headstock jazz bass with rosewood 'board, pearloid block inlays and cream 'board binding... Lightly relic'd. [/quote] Get a Lakky Daryl Jones and a sander!

I'm a bit confused . He says it's a 70's "repro" and calls it a Road Worn. How can you tell if it's one of the legendary Mex Road Worns, or it has just been towed 150 miles up the M6?

Nigel Kennedy in horror shirt plays a blinder. World's best cover band , BBC Symphony Orchestra. Stay in this night every year for this. Wish I could get tickets, just once

They are appreciating but that is currently far too much. Superb basses but so heavy. That one doesn't look any different to the 1981 photo following [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/img109_zps81f40e15.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/img109_zps81f40e15.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1378581539' post='2202178'] Oh crap. [/quote] It ain't that bad (actually, it's better than the Japanese Geddys I've had coz it's not as bloody heavy)

Well, that answers that then! Might as well take my Mexican Geddy off sale now Good job I rather like gigging it then
