As with all things, it sounds like there is a range of results - and I'll admit, I was myself treating Molan's comments as an outlier. Not as a fallacy (though, I'll admit, I'd love to see the tax returns), but perhaps as the exception which proved the rule

Belated bump, Open to offers, just not getting the playing time at the moment. £300 = bass + case.

I'm 33. I am probably too old for the young student bands (eg those of 18-21) but too young at heart for what many in this country class as 'normal' for a 33 year old. Mr career has to be number one to me, and takes precedence over my music time. Personally, I prefer playing music all day, but I can't! Hence, its a great way to relax and I never find it boring. In fact, it de-stresses me.

This rings true. But, on the bright side, nail the career and think of all the treats you can have

Royal Blood, Death From Above 1979 probably the main two for me. Oops, forgot OM!

Anyone know anything about the "secret recipe" effects train the chap from Royal Blood uses? I assumed he was simply using guitar pedals, mind - fuzz and OD with some bits and pieces.

Let's have a chat after payday, Ash.

Looks very nice! If you get bored of your other Thunderbirds, with this new found love, let me know

Love it - and they've announced some UK dates, too, so this should be a good year!

Kin hell, Ash - another lovely bass from you!

What's this "just" business?

Do you not have an equal say in which way the sound moves?

Steady band.

Sold - to me, as happens. Superb dealing with you, Paul

Mate said he played for around 1 Hour 10 Minutes, when we went off at 10.00pm. He didn't even sing the last song when he came back on, Paul Carrick took lead vocals. He said the audience only realised the gig was over when the house lights came on and the stage guys came out and started to dismantle the gear!

According to Setlist.fm, he played the same show in Leeds as he did in Glasgow - which echoes what a few comments noted. Guess it's simply a short show? I'd be hoping for more, I'll admit.

In short, no. IME the Gibson QC is often worse than the Epiphone QC.

Thus says the man who happily sold me one!

No issues, however. I knew what I was buying - they have their foibles, but they play and sound superb

Because you like the song, and you enjoy it. Bosh!

Gibson EB2013 or 2014, for me.

Ah, my old one! Was just asking Grae where it had gotten to! It really hurt when I let it go, like the fool I was.

For some reason, Geofio, I always thought you were the other chap in your avatar - thanks for putting the vid up, love the Walnut

Out of all the members on this forum is there not a Solicitor that can advise?

(I'm new here and have no intention of reading back through all the threads).

A number were asked, but few responded to the call - it seems it's not quite so easy to ask a mate for professional advice

I think Kiwi and Ped got the advice they could, when making their original decision. A prolonged argument, be it legalistic or simply responding to the inevitable chaff and bluster from John Hall, was deemed not to be conducive to their ambitions for the site.

I have a lot of sympathy for their position, however much it is a shame to lose the ability to trade or discuss certain items. They could fight the demand; they could acquiesce and allow a third party unwarranted access to and influence on the operations of the site; or they could bypass the issue. They chose the latter, and any similiarities with John Hall's desires are coincidental,I would suggest.

The one constant in this is, of course, John Hall. I'm not sure, until he changes, we'll ever see this satisfactorily concluded. As long as we're subject to his personal whims and company policy, the threat of a return to our original situation exists - where Kiwi and Ped would find themselves with the same choices.

Someone talked about him winning - perhaps, perhaps not. It's damaged his brand, to my eyes, which is his chief trading commodity. People are welcome to return to the original threads for my opinions on just how different the markets are for real Rics versus the fakes - and where John might find better value for himself and his company, unless he values the need to be seen to protect his properties over any measure of brand or engagement. I, personally and professionally, think he's called it wrong, and his conduct has been poor - and I'm happy to treat that decision with the disdain I feel it deserves.

Whilst I'm doing so, I will respect the original decision until sufficient changes for Ped and Kiwi to consider it again. It is, after all, their decision

Very nice, might have to stroll into town for a catch-up Skej!

I saw TS supporting Alice Cooper at the MEN arena maybe 5 years ago. Scary; but Dee is good value as a front man though.
[/quote]

I think that would be the tour when they threw Viking Skull off the bill, owing either to ego or a refusal of the smaller band to fund TS' gratuitous backline - or so the rumours go

Did you watch to the end?

Stunning, I still miss mine! Tempting.

I've played one of his old BC Rich Eagle basses when it was for sale in a shop , and it was awful, with a neck like a tree trunk.

They've got a Precision-a-like neck. Shame, brilliant basses - but horses for courses. One man's gravy is another man's jus, ad nauseum.
