Would you be interested in trading your ticket to Mr Jerky Derky's magical prefab of delights for my Sue Ryder P bass, secondhand, mint with some minor axe marks and bloodstains, plays like butter?

100 Euro was £85 when you typed that. It's £87 now. £88. £91. EDIT. £94.

[/quote] Nnnnnice. That'd be my choice too, bass and year. Well i didn't choose the year, but you know what I mean.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1493677422' post='3289943'] Why James Dean Bradfield isn't given more credit is beyond me. Incredible power and range to his voice, amazing guitarist, and the enviable ability to contort some pretty oblique prose into structured lyrics and strong melodies. I'm a big fan. [/quote] Aye. It's a shame Nicky Wire is/can be such an irritating tit though.

They way I see it is: any live music on telly is better than no live music on telly at all. [quote name='julesb' timestamp='1493759479' post='3290535'] Is it just me or will the cure and u2 be contacting future islands about their first song tonight? [/quote] That fella was fairly, errm, 'earnest' wasn't he? The London Grammar lady has a very nice voice. Song wasn't bad either. Binker & Moses were good but I reckon it'd get tiring after the second tune. Orchestra Baobab I can't really comment on as they really weren't my cuppa char. Blondie -- least said the better.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1493606858' post='3289380'] wat too much. I saw Incognito for half that, and there twice the band [/quote] Having seen both, I do not concur. Still, we all like different stuff innit

Some acquaintances of mine used to have a band called Psychodelia Smith

[quote name='RickyV' timestamp='1493581258' post='3289253'] Mighty Mite jazz neck with ... a Fender decal [/quote] Oh noes! You said the "D" word!

OldGit used to have a Peavey BAM210 combo. It was small but weighed slightly more than Hampshire.

Bear in mind there's a 24% buyer's premium to add to the final hammer price. But even so, yes, some of those estimates are very (deliberately?) low.

I put the decal on my bitsa because for me, it completed the look of it. Care to tell me where the 'snobbery' lies in that? And quite frankly, 'fraud' is not an accusation that should be thrown around lightly.

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1493398825' post='3288113'] Why do you even need more than one string and 12 frets? All the notes you need are there... [/quote] Strictly speaking, 11 frets would do...

[quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1493392119' post='3288048'] Then are you even a bass player? [/quote] Yes. But I'm not Jaco, and nor are you, and nor is anyone else here.

95% of the settings on my Pod XT Live.

[quote name='OliverBlackman' timestamp='1493316809' post='3287470'] Jaco only needed 4 strings...... [/quote] ...but I'm not Jaco.

I'm hoping to be there with my guitar-playing bestie.

[quote name='mark76' timestamp='1493234092' post='3286834'] Four4lyfe! Seriously though, does anyone know the fundamental frequencies of the lowest notes on a 5 and 8 string bass? The F# on the latter must be pushing close to subsonic. [/quote] I believe the fundamental of the low B is 30Hz?

Oh goody, this old chestnut again.

Yowch. Nearly 600 quid for the ash fiver now.

Yes, I remember The Point fondly. Played there a few times, it was always a good night. Sadly missed. I hope the git who complained has an infestation of fleas.

We played a corporate dinner-dance thing in Brighton many moons ago for a company who shall remain nameless -- let's just call them 'Boyal Scank of Rotland'. They paid us handsomely and put us up in a very nice hotel for the night, and it would have been the perfect gig if not for the fact that by the time we went on, the bright young things had been sat on their arses for two hours first with dinner and then second with all the speeches etc... so of course, all they wanted to do was hit the bar. Which was in the room next door. We played our entire set to our WAGABAHs and maybe 3 or 4 of the dinner guests. I looked on it as a well-paid rehearsal and a free weekend away.

I've got a Fender decal on my bitsa. I don't care if anyone thinks it's wrong or a lie or whatever, because it's my bass and I'll do what the hell I want with it. So there

[b]It Bites[/b]. Four years, three fabulous studio albums, and then gone. (nb. Not counting the later reform version, good though it was.)

I love his Kirby Dots album. Wonderfully weird in a great way.

Some of the guys here who have bought deko basses have got lucky and received perfectly playable basses out of the box. My 20 quid Harley jazz deko had a banana for a neck, so I wasn't so fortunate. For this reason, there is no way I would put down 170 quid on a deko. Too much of a leap of faith for me.
