That'll work out well under some stage lights!

Had notification that the pedal should arrive tomorrow!

It's arrived and it's very shiny.
It also sounds bloody lovely.

Oh thank God,   I'm home  !

But surely if we're *all* misfits then we all fit in here, which means none of us are misfits...

It's definitely still in the house and not on a bass. Not in either parts drawers...
I've obviously put it "somewhere safe" 😖

If I were an old Dimarzio Model One, I would be a very wily and cunning old Dimarzio Model One and would be hiding amongst a bunch of other things that looked a bit like old Dimarzio Model Ones. 

Alternatively, I would hide in a place where my owner would never think of going in a million years -- e.g. behind the panty liners and leg waxing kits.

Laughing at the strings"Feel Rough". I think flats sound great on Status (maybe all graphite?) necks fretted or fretless

My first bass had tapewounds on it, which I played for months, knowing no better. Then a friend gave me his bass with roundwounds on to try. I really didn't like it! Shortly after that I broke the G on my own bass, and the only singles the local music shop had were Rotosound Swing Bass, so I stuck one of those on. Plonk, plonk, plonk, zzzziiiiinnnnng! I slowly converted, a string at a time! 🙂

Happy NBD - hope to see some pics soon  

Don't give too much away....😏😏

Oooh... do tell more?

It's sat at home waiting for me... I hope...

Nice!

used to work in Brum near the Villa ground. Remember Springsteen soundchecking.. no ipods there (mind you it was 1986 ish...)

Sister Sledge are WAY cool. Never mind your ipod, get yourself a ticket....

No iPods in '86 for sure, but I do remember my Sony Walkman with great affection.

+1 for @shug 's comment

Probably agree, give us a few example tracks as the 'classic' tag can mean different things. Worse still, I was invited into a 'prog rock' band not long ago. Had to decline.  I VERY think not

We have a store full of large sheets of spongy foam at work,  clock in,  head down, appear in time for lunch  ...

Used to do this all the time!  I found I didn't get so much sick as I did cranky/irritable the next day.  I guess I wasn't too much fun to work with!  Knocked it in the head last year and it was the best thing I ever did.

I was down at our other office with my manager. So we went out with colleagues. 8:15pm my manager said "one more for the road. back at the hotel by 9?". everyone agreed. We then got talking about favourite bands/albums/gig. Got back to the hotel just after midnight, after 3 more "one for the roads". My manager, she's a bad influence...

I bought some great (and unusual) switches for pickup configuration from Mouser. Super fast delivery and high quality! I cant think of anything I need right now, but I wanted to say thank you for a kind BC offer!

Fab Basses, mine was stolen in 1992... Could never find another, and by the time they reissued them, I was a dyed in the wool Fender guy.

I'm taking mine to the grave/furnace!

It's a great feeling, when a bass has that effect on you. Very pleased for you sir

@Chienmortbb: WiFi be a WITCH. BURN IT! 

Burns-bass I am enjoying the holiday, but after walking 6-7 miles walking along beaches, stooped over, and occasionally bashing rocks, fossil hunting with 2 kids in tow. I was hoping to relax watching some films on Netflix. 

This morning I remembered I can use the BT Open wifi side of the hubs. Whilst not broadband speeds it's still 9 times faster than using the other side...

Blast from the student past!

Do the Ned's still have 2 bass players.

Yep. Still Alex and Matt on the basses...

Also mods working overnight! One of us (not me) got rid of the horrid pest.

Well done to all the mods! 

Best to hide Spam in the salad and leave it in the vegetable drawer.

I've used 105-45 occasionally, when I've needed strings in a hurry and had to go into a local shop to buy them. To me they didn't feel too different to 110 sets.

I am using Rotosound RB50's at the moment. I like them. Mind you, I,m a hard plucker.

My Steve Harris P had Steve Harris Rotos on for a long time. 110/95/75/50, they took some pounding...

Don't think Scabies will ever return....sadly there's just too much bad blood
Shame though - I really wish he would return (even for half a set). Classic line-up, and their best.... Black Album and Strawberries

I have some valve amps for sale (privately) - pm if interested..........

If I could afford one, you'd be getting a PM this second...
