The Fly guitars are gorgeous, and if I was a guitard I'd have one in a heartbeat. The Fly basses are, to my mind, utterly fugly. Golchen's right, they look lardarsed.

300 notes, christ that's a bargain.

The Cali JM5 is one of the few basses I have serious GAS for.

That's why I'm bringing my cans! Seriously though, I recommend bringing 'em if you've got 'em. And yes, Shuttle+Bareface is a combination I'd like to hear too.

There isn't one on the list yet, so I'll bring along my nice new G-B Shuttle 6.0 (now added to list ) I won't bother bringing cabs as it looks like there will be plenty there already*. Will definitely bring my cans though..! Not sure I'll be doing much playing, as it's only going to be 3 weeks after my carpal tunnel operation. * Unless anyone desperately wants to see/hear a pair of Nemesis 1x15s..?

People always focus almost entirely on his slap playing, which is very unfair really. His fingerstyle grooving is as tight as a gnat's chuff, and his ability to sing over even his most fearsomely complex bass parts is just uncanny. For my money, [i]that's[/i] his most impressive facet. I get a bit bored with his wockity-wockity slap stuff these days.

Hey, that means we have known each other for 120 months![/quote] Oh damn, and I haven't bought you an anniversary present! Errm, can I take you out for dinner to make up for it? :lol:

Walk away and don't look back. Everything about this is yelling "dodgy!" in a very loud voice.

I shall never forget my first sight of him -- it was 1982 & they were playing 'Foundation & Empire' live on Channel 4. I'd been playing bass for a couple of months, and suddenly there was this bloke doing these outrageous things... I was hooked, instantly.

For my money, possibly the best bass head Peavey made.

Would make a good spare/chuck-it-in-the-car rehearsal bass.

That's pretty much how I did mine. The only differences are 1) I used carpet tiles which I [s]stole[/s] [s]lifted[/s] borrowed from work, 2) I cut a carry-handle slot in mine -- I highly recommend this, it makes it dead easy to carry even if you only have 1 or 2 fingers free! and 3) the layout of the foam. I used 3 bits of foam because at the time I had an SWR Triad, and I was a bit concerned that 2 bits of foam wouldn't handle all 80+lbs..! I expect it would have though. I suppose it's possible that with that centre strip added, mine will block less vibration than yours. It certainly works bloody well as it is though! Excuse the tatty black paint on the underside... the spray can ran out and after all this time I [i]still[/i] haven't got my arse into gear to buy another. So... yay for homemade Grammas!

A work of genius. Mrs ezbass should be justifiably proud of that. I'm surprised anyone could bring themselves to cut it!

Totally different from the stuff being talked about, but this is just [i]incredible[/i]...

I like Marcus, and enjoyed the Frankenstein vid. Not his best though, admittedly. Run For Cover is a belter. I hate Nick Cave with a passion, and thought his vid was mind numbingly dull. Doesn't make me right and you wrong, or indeed viceversa. Newsflash! We all like different stuff! :lol:
