[quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1385916173' post='2293570'] Mine went down the sink at 12.07am in the Holiday Inn in Watford where I was staying after a wedding. Very pleased with the amount raised and I enjoyed the experience. Well done all [/quote] And as a bonus to raising the Movember money, I've just discovered what a cracking album Case Hardin PM is! Just bought a copy - cracking work Tim, hope I can get along in May to the Lewes gig.

Well done everyone - I'm now a regular voter (well, last two months) - let's hope we can get some more converts over here!

You're a glutton for punishment Heathy - good luck with Decembeard!

Thanks everyone for taking part in this - we've just cracked the £1,000 mark this morning (wonder how that happened)! Now time for the final photo and a long awaited shave!!

We had a bizarre one a couple of months back - our singer wanted to do a Woody Guthrie song I Ain't Got No Home - real full on dustbowl depression crop failed, wife died number. We gave him so much grief every time he mentioned it. Got to our regular monthly acoustic gig (Dylan, Fogarty, Neil Young etc) and a lady came up and asked if we did any Woody Guthrie! (No, she wasn't a plant)! We managed to busk it and it is now in the set

Bert, sorry to hear such bad news. Those Squiers will have a good resale value and will go quickly, and will be relatively easy to replace. Disagreeing with Clarky, you have some popular amps there as well. The Bongo, Rock Bass and other bits are quite esoteric so may take a little longer. All the best for raising the funds, Mike

Going from Fontwell to Stafford on Wednesday if you can get over to Stafford Weds PM and I could pick up on Weds morning on the way through?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1385204072' post='2285528'] AAAAGGGGHHHH. I tried trimming mine and it went a bit wonky on one side, so I kept trying to even it up and ended up with a Hitler! Deference to my left-wing ideals necessitated its removal. Sorry chaps. [/quote] Couldn't you have told everyone you were channeling your inner Chaplin (or Blakey)!!

£821 - great work team. May have to do some trimming on mine, noticed it has gone very wonky!! Looks like I need to wear my glasses when I shave in future

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1385066986' post='2284167'] The pinnacle of moustache compliments! Well done sir. [/quote] +1

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1385058079' post='2284013'] I was thinking about a paisley myself today. [/quote] Me too. I blame the moustaches My band have been talking about putting a country set together, then I'd have the right excuse!!

Extreme? For the value of a custom shop Strat surely £7 is only going to be around 1%? Now that really can't be described as such?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1384304514' post='2275146'] I've had a similar conversation with a small rehearsal space and they chose MarkBass 2x10 because it had the option to tilt backwards in a sort of monitor format. However if you're looking for permanent installation kit then you don't need to pay premium prices for neo equipped, lightweight, cabs. My personal favourites for 'rock' cabs are Aguilar DB series. Well made, bullet-proof construction, plenty of mid-range punch and have that classic rock look. Plus you see them on stages all over the world so they are something younger players might aspire to owning. Downside is that they aren't cheap I hear good things about the latest Hartke Hydrive gear and they have a lot of high grade endorsees so another brand younger players would aspire to own. [/quote] Molan's possibly trying not to come on like an overbearing salesman (which he isn't) but I would have thought the Carvin combos that BassGear stock would be ideal for the B115s.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1384249451' post='2274353'] Weller and Parfitts fathers knew each other well, played a lot of cards together. Parfitt loaned gear to Weller when he was getting The Jam together (some of which he never got back), think Rossi knew them in their early days too and was encouraging. [/quote] Yes Kev, fair enough and it was mentioned in the documentary but I still stand by it looking like a very awkward shoe-in to add a bit of stardust. Really wanted to like the doc as I like Quo, but this wasn't a good piece of work (although I will check out the full DVD version to see if that is any better).

[quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1384079383' post='2272446'] Being as we are the Bass Playing Taches, here is my 9 day old effort rocking my top lip last night at The Gladstone in central London. [attachment=148021:Mov4.jpg] [/quote] Good man - sory, bit light on the gigs but do have one on 29th when tache should be in its full glory!

[quote name='Mickeyboro' timestamp='1384093786' post='2272631'] Nothing against Cliff, but his appearance seemed an excuse to put a famous name in there when there was so much wasn't said about the band's story. What about, to name but one example, the original organist (Roy Lynes) who appeared in the early pics and VT and disappeared without even being name checked? [/quote] Sort of felt the same about Weller - "OK chaps, how do we give Quo a bit of credibility for the documentary"? (Love Quo btw, but agree with Michael, and felt the documentary was very poor, esp in light of some of the stuff we've been getting on BBC4 of late).

Thanks gents - done the trick, back on Firefox

Have PM'd a mod on this but not heard back - anyone else having issues with BC on Firefox? For me it has shrunk down to an unusable size. All other sites on Firefox are ok and BC is fine on ie, Chrome and Opera but I don't want to have to switch if I don't have to. Any advice please?

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1383682691' post='2267709'] Okay, here's my contribution: [url="https://soundcloud.com/spoombung/slow-glow"]https://soundcloud.c...mbung/slow-glow[/url] Look forward to hearing the others... [/quote] Love it! I know it is a spooky wedding theme but that could hav ebeen the world's most evil toy box

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1383853095' post='2270086'] In 2010 I had a couple of job interviews at the end on November. No one had heard of it. [/quote] Now if it was like the one in your avatar..... Here's my first week:

So the taches are a week old - I'll be putting a progess picture up tomorrow! Just found out I have a really imprtant work meeting on Tuesday - hope the person I'm meeting knows about Movember!!
