Sorry mate, gotta be a no - I don't like playing over my PUs Good luck anyway

Weey! That's awesome man, well done

Nice one! Pics pics pics!

IIRC Bass Gallery in London has a couple of Americans coming in in a few months, though I have no idea about the Kingston Artists. Might be worth giving a call?

Hi there, Just wondering what an ash body and neck with a walnut burl top and a maple board would sound like? From what I understand ash and maple would produce a quite bright and growly sound, but would walnut bring to the mix? I can't really find much information on it and I'll be honest I've only been drawn to it so far based on looks alone. I know what kind of tone I'm going for here so I'd be really interested to hear what you guys think of walnut Ta'

Got to be purple - I was converted when I saw a purple Fbass on a bass store website...was gorgeous, wood grain showing through perfectly and everthing...I'll try and find a pic...

Only ever managed to make one trip down to the gallery, though I got to play with some very pretty amps and ended up buying a load of epifani stuff so I'm extremely happy . I'm trying to avoid coming back because I can't start spending money I don't have! They're awesome Can I have a discount now?

sh*te! Love Deftones, and I've always found him a cool bassist, I remember watching him in awe at my first ever gig - Deftones at Wembley Arena Best wishes to family and friends, hope he recovers quickly

I love my UL410, but tbh I did not rate the sound that an SVT3 got through it.

Keep us posted dude, like to see this work out

It might be worth giving alkaline trio's album (Agony and Irony) a listen because their bassist played a P through marshall geetar heads IIRC. Sounds good!

Or purple

Completely off topic but that's on my birthday! Woot! And in response no I'm not going... sorry

£488?! Good thing I shifted mine when I did...

My Dawsons closed down. Says it all really.

Heard the orange through an 810E when I saw Alkaline Trio at the Koko a couple weeks back. It sounded immense. You cannot go wrong with it

Best of luck mate, and it's always better forming a band with people you like/know

Since there are a couple of threads relating to crappy bass shops, I thought it might be worth making a thread filled with good, basschat approved shops , maybe with a rating system out of 10 for service, staff knowledge, stock etc...thoughts? Anyhoo, thought I'd start it off with Oxford's PMT - very friendly and helpful staff and if they don't know something or have it in stock they'll look it up or find a way they can get it in for you Me likey EDIT - Seems this has been done much better in this thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2680"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2680[/url] . Who knew eh

[quote name='The Funk' post='264481' date='Aug 18 2008, 12:43 PM']That was Simone who left a while ago. She was great.[/quote] Defintely, she sold me my rapture and tracked down a load of Pedulla accessories for me However yes, last time I went in there the attitude was rather poor.

I have three light up ducks a la reservoir dogs (nicknamed the reservoir ducks ) on top of my stack at gigs...they have different colour beaks and all! Also went through a phase of the whole band wearing matching purple velvet smoking jackets...

Maybe try some Korn or bleeding through? As S5S said, anything metally really.

Hmm...only very rarely. Then again I predominantly play only in one trick bands...
