  1. I can NOT believe this thread has gone on for so long with no pictures. Disgraceful behaviour, you should all be ashamed.
  2. You are my dad and I claim my five pounds.
  3. Rebel Without a Clue - Bonnie Tyler
  4. Agreed wholeheartedly on all counts. I loved Big Country and SA's untimely passing was a tragedy on many levels. A solemn reminder of the need to talk, to ask "are you ok?", to listen.
  5. Marathon - Rush
  6. Rich

    DIY Effects

    How many purple LEDs did you buy/need? I've got a few spares

  8. And 'far out, man' would have entirely replaced 'hello' in day to day speech.
  9. Just as well it wasn't a slapback echo, or she'd be selling fish.
  10. Irresponsible Hate Anthem - Brian Warner
  11. Carry That Weight - some Scouse no-hopers
  12. OMG. Dave Wakeling of The Beat has just started following my ska band on Twitter.

      That's brilliant! :) 

  13. Barclay James Harvest did a similar acrimonious firework. There are now two BJHs doing the rounds, with one original member each.
  14. They could be "Ono, It's The Whotles!"
  15. Have to say, it looks amazing with the black p/guard.
  16. Waiting for the Punchline - Extreme
  17. Oh that's easy.... a CHB-2 in sapphire burst. I have more difficulty deciding what I want for dinner.
  18. Bike chain and dismantling thingy have arrived, so I've had an experimental fiddle about. The chain arrived with a very light coat of oil, which was easily removed with a bit of kitchen towel. No need for a massive degreasing process. I've separated a few links and managed to get a number of 'brackets' which appear to be the absolute perfect size. The pics show one of the resultant link bits attached to one of my homebrew pedals. The hook velcro, which is now redundant, will be removed and I'll probably stick on some of those little silicon 'dot' things one uses as cupboard door bumpers instead. I'm thinking two brackets per pedal should be sufficient, at opposite corners.
  19. That low B is stunning
  20. Everything I've heard played on an A-C sounds utterly awesome. I believe Paul Turner uses one with Jamiroquai? I've yet to try one myself but I just know it'd be exquisite. The only thing I've never liked about A-Cs is the headstock shape, but somehow the matching colour makes it a lot more palatable and it looks right. GLWTS!
  21. Like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon, wrapped round a large gold brick.
  22. Congrats on the new bass! A logical step on from your old Redsub Coliseum I guess? How does the Ding compare in terms of balance & weight etc? All I can say is, thank god for the copyright issues. The new shape is far better to my eyes. I love that little kick at the back, by the controls. It looks sleeker, a proper 21st century Bird (there's a song in there somewhere).
  23. I think the gold will look great. I've never been scared of gold hardware on the right bass (it looks awesome on a red bass, for example). Like you, I think gold screws would work really well for the pickup surrounds. The only thing I'm not totally sold on so far is the headstock shape, but a.) that's just me being picky and b.) it's your bass
