Sane! Its madder than my work in here and thats saying something.

My only other recomendation is going out and trying a few of these sugestions. They are all good sugestions but you need to try a few now. Will be interested to see what you go for and what you liked. Oh yes, while I remember... Happy birthday.

Rainbow, Alice Cooper and The who but to name 3

Hello and Welcome. Nice selection of Basses. I have an Ashdown EB180-15 Combo as well.

Hello and welcome. What a great selection of basses, and there is nothing wrong with a Wesley, great value for what you get. That fender jazz sounds intresting. Would love to see it!

Hello and welcome, the link should help explain whats been happening. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=74[/url]

Thanks WW. I will send him a message. Yes I have seen the far east website before. It looks quite good, think I will stick with Ishibashi. Thankyou dood, your Importing guitars thread has been really helpfull, its given me the confidence to go for it. I have decided that I will order that one next week. If it comes in 5 days that will be very good going. I bought a camera of the web for my wifes birthday and that took a week to come (It was a UK supplier as well).

Could not find them on ishibashi. You could send them an email. Would imagine dood or ped would be able to help you out if you was intrested Here is the web page for fender japan/ Jaguar bass.

Here are my 3. Norman Watt Roy Gary Crockett John Gustafson

I have a small Stanley plastic tool box for all my leads, Strings and tools. Mine came from B&Q. They are so cheap, just get a new one. They do metal ones which are a bit more sturdy.

I have been looking at the Ishibashi website all week (On and off). I have decided to go for the Fender Jazz, JB75-100US . I really like it, probably because it's made with Ash. Before I order it early next week I just wanted to know what other people thought, especially those of you who play Jazz Bases.

Ok, no probs. We will have to keep looking.

Hello Clive, nice to see you have decided to join us. I quite like some of the marshall My first amp was a little 30w Marshall paractice amp. It was not bad (for what it was). At least your HI-fi speakers are getting a break.

Oh yeah. Now I see. Its me after night shifts. Its like having jetlag. My brain feels scrambled.

I have been looking for tuition over in Ashford. It must be an East Kent thing. Simon

I am very tempted.. and have been looking in to importing in a bit way all week. Will start a new topic when I decide what to do.

Thanks to all who helped out with donations, so we can talk crap!

Thats one of the best explanations I have seen explaining different tone. Now saved to my favorites as it will be a really helpfull little tool. [url="http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/options/options_bodywoods.cfm"]http://www.warmoth.com/guitar/options/options_bodywoods.cfm[/url]

When you think about it, It is probably RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).

A Fender Jazz, Probably in ash, with a mapel fretboard or an Ibanez sr900. There is other stuff but one of two will do.

I would not mind either way about sponsorship but I do prefer donations to subsriptions. That give all the choice to donate what they want and if they want to donate.

[quote name='ped' post='4690' date='May 22 2007, 10:19 PM']Good idea mate - we did discuss havinga 'total' meter and a target but I am waiting to hear back a quote from these geezers you see, but we nearly have enough to send me to Legoland in Denmark so keep it up.[/quote] The wife has just had a vision of Ped flying to the moon in a lego space ship.

[quote name='dood' post='2439' date='May 19 2007, 08:58 PM']Hi all. Well, I guess an endorsement is a kinda 'business' deal. "You scratch mine and I'll scratch yours." Simply, if company XYZ feels that they will benefit from adding a musician to their rosta then *hopefully* said musician can stand to gain from the 'deal' too. As mentioned above, this can be anything from getting ya strings at a better price or in some cases.. payment for performances can be in guitars! Seen it with my own eyes too! ;o) My Guitarist, Andy James released his second album last week. He is on the Ernie Ball rosta and has a good relationship with Peavey amongst others. The guy is a monster on guitar. I mean from a showman point of view, he has 12 fingers. This kinda playing gets him noticed.. and EB like that.. when he's playing their guitars. He won a national guitar competition against 100's of awesome players... on an OLP!!!!! CK is spot on. You need a presspack - a good promo/portfolio. There are examples out there on the net. (dont fill it with BS, they probably get 100 of those a week) - all of the above.. press clippings, album releases, what you are doing at the moment and where you intend to take it. CD's, videos etc. Companies like to see you are hoping to have a future with them. For example.. I go ON and ON and ON and ON about Shuker. Gawd.. it's lucky I like them and not hate! lol lol lol[/quote] And you do go on about Shuker, How many sales before the free guitar? lol.
