Are they somehow related? I think we should be told.

Things I shall forever kick myself for not buying a few years back (well, quite a few):

[list]
[*]Pre-EB Stingray, £250 (long time ago, but even so, [i]bloody hell!![/i])
[*]SWR Stereo 800 power amp, also £250
[/list]
Also:[list]
[*]'70 Dodge Challenger needing miniscule body repair, £800
[*]My mate's Mk1 Escort Mexico, £400 (he badly needed money and [i]didn't tell me he was selling it[/i]! pillock)
[/list]

I don't reckon Mrs.T's rabbit eats carrots

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='95924' date='Nov 29 2007, 12:47 AM']Is that the BC equivalent of a fart?[/quote]Well that's what the Kingbass sounds like when Mark King uses it. Not a particularly bassy fart either.

[quote name='eude' post='95578' date='Nov 28 2007, 12:38 PM']Don't worry bud, was just an impulse reaction, I've got very different plans for the next one.[/quote]Hey no worries, was only kiddin anyway. I can in no way afford nor justify that beautiful bass.


Goddammit.

mind you...
[quote]When I get geared up, probably end of Jan/early Feb for my next go, I'll be popping down to see Jon, with bass in tow.
How about we try and organise some kind of BassChat Shukerite gathering...[/quote]If we did all go & meet up, and that singlecut was still there... oh dear oh dear... I think the temptation would be too much to bear...

[quote name='eude' post='95549' date='Nov 28 2007, 11:58 AM']Now that's one sexy bass!
Must not reach for credit card....[/quote]Bugger off, I saw it first

Oh god, that singlecut 5... absolutely stunning in every single way. I need some money, quick.

And I'm seriously thinking about changing my EMGs for Delanos, having heard those ones yesterday.

I'm not going to steal Si's thunder completely, but here's a couple of proud-father shots

He wasn't really grumpy... I just caught him by surprise


Si in soulful mode... that headstock is worth the price on its own

Jack Bruce
Glenn Hughes
Bootsy (well, he sings after a fashion )

Also, not in the same league obviously, Bryan Adams.

Yes, and Bolsheviks.

I love it... up as far as the nut. Then, it all goes tragically wrong.

These are great basses, and this strikes me as a bit of a bargain BIN too.

Well done for carrying on regardless. God, how did you manage to hold on for so long? I played a gig with a raging bout of 'flu once, real 'flu not this silly man-flu cold nonsense. Got through by the power of adrenalin, walked off stage and passed out almost immediately, spent the next 4 days in bed.
Why do we do these daft things, ploughing ahead with a gig whilst suffering from something that we wouldn't dream of going to our day-job with? Is it just artistic integrity? Fear of breaking a contract? Bulldog spirit? Insanity?

+2 for the Bass Collection basses. Nice basses, good sound, and best of all, light.

I'm probably going to take mine up (going with Si, couldn't resist really), as I'd like a wee bit ground off the bottom of the G bridge saddle... can't get it quite as low as I'd like.

Noooooooooooooo... why didn't you do this a month ago..? *cries*

*uncontrollable drooling* god, that blue Tune 5 is the absolute [i]sex[/i]...
Oh bloody hell Ped, what have you done..? You've made me go and look at that bloody Ishibashi site...
Moon Jazz, £339...

Once they've sold or removed their stuff, some guys edit the title of their thread so that it starts with 'SOLD' or' WITHDRAWN'. This is the way forward, as giving the ability to delete threads in just the one forum would probably be a nightmare.

If your item is no longer for sale, please edit the title of the thread so that it starts with[b] 'SOLD'[/b] or[b] 'WITHDRAWN' [/b](whichever is applicable) in nice big capitals. DO [u]NOT[/u] REPLACE THE ENTIRE TITLE WITH THE WORD 'SOLD'.
To edit the title of the thread, go in and edit your first posting in the thread (sorry if you already knew that).

Well...

[quote name='s_u_y_*' post='89730' date='Nov 17 2007, 01:19 AM']I have a Hiscox case, and it is rather impractical if you're putting in a car (keeps sliding around) or on public transport (too bulky).[/quote]
[quote name='pete.young' post='89787' date='Nov 17 2007, 10:26 AM']it can be carried like a rucksack where a hard case can't, it will fit in the boot of the car when a hard case won't unless I put the back seats down, and if it goes inside it won't destroy the interior.[/quote]
...+1 what they just said.

[quote name='BB2000' post='90822' date='Nov 19 2007, 02:17 PM']There's a used Peavey T-Max at the bass centre for under £200.[/quote]
That is an absurd bargain for a hell of a lot of amp. You could do far worse than that.

Yup exactly, it's all practice... can be daunting at first but you soon get used to it. The real challenge comes when you've got a complex bass part with a totally different vocal line. I don't know how Mark King does it, it's easily the most impressive aspect of his playing.
More difficult than singing and playing, is talking and playing. Try it some time, just carry out a normal coversation while you play. Impossible!

When you flog it (sounds like you're bound to really!), for god's sake make sure you give her a good chunk of the profits to buy herself something nice/sparkly/with heels.

And bear in mind that the 100 watt figure is the absolute maximum, with the amp shrieking its head off and on the verge of frying. Realistically you will never get 100 watts from a 100 watt amp.
