throwoff

This is not the new album sound according to what I have read this morning. This is a one off track for the olympics.

The Katana is one I often viewed as Warwick best budget bass when you look at what you get for the money. NT design, ebony board, flame maple top, flame maple neck. It is a very pretty bass, I played a few over the years including a custom shop built for Nick Douglas which was amazing.

I have quite severe Ricky GAS, I did play a 4003 a few years back and frankly wasn't keen. Does anyone in the southeast have a lefty I can have a bash on at some point, if anything to let me remember I don't like them before I do something foolish online!

Im always interested in this, what does it set you back?

.96 dunlop delrin. Bought a gross a year back probs about time to buy another.

[/quote] Didnt go in there, was too bloody hot the few days we were there and the lovely staff in our hotel basically said when the weathers like this give it a miss because it's 2 and a bit hours indoors! Going back next year for our anniversary (already booked, same hotel room!) and will check them out then. The bus tour was great round the town and the other one into the hills. Went to vintage and rare guitars and had a truly amazing meal at a restaurant call the Circus.

That's the lad, got it when I was on honeymoon in Bath earlier in the year. Seemed like the right thing to stick on my bass.

Also before anyone asks, yes my P bass does have a sticker on it saying I love Darcy.

Actually was a couple of days back but I finally bought a rack for my basses. And a wonderful thing it is to! [IMG]http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c330/throwoff/photo-2.jpg[/IMG] All ready to be picked up whenever I want and bless Mrs Throwoff, kept in the lounge!

Whereabouts are you mate?

Firstly If I remember correctly didn't a similar thread to this cause people to actually leave BC before and it was then locked? Secondly I wrote my dissertation on new media economics, specifically looking at whether illegal downloads actually hurt musicians. The simple answer is no, they don't, in fact most labels are actually making the same amount of money as they always were but from new income streams. The bean counters that run the labels see the numbers for CD sales falling and want to recoup it rather than assess a big picture. Bands can now make far more money from touring, festivals, live DVD releases, TV shows, radio play (including internet radio), video games, mobile phone apps, merchandise etc, most of which did not exist 20 years ago before downloading. I admit I downloaded almost everything on my iPhone, however I can say with my hand on my heart with the exception of dead artists I have seen 95% of them live at least once, the majority I have bought a t-shirt from (official merch) and quite a few I have paid to download their songs into rock band or guitar hero. I have played many video games with their songs on, watched live streams from (supported by ads!) and so on. I also do still buy a large number of CD's from bands who I discover in depth by downloading in the first place. For example about 3 years ago I discovered The Gaslight Anthem, who are still my favourite band today, I heard one song, went online and torrented their whole back catalogue in 5 minutes. Listened to it religiously and since that day have seen them live 4 times, bought 4 of their CD's, own 5 official t shirts and will pay to see them on their next tour. Without that illegal download, I would never of bothered.

Left handed bass as well.

[/font]The lies weaved throughout this thread has now infected many unsuspecting bands with misinformation/lies… and to hear that the space should be smashed up in return is to be frank something that should be reported to the authorities [/quote] It was myself that made that comment and I am happy to respond to this. If you could not tell that was a tongue in cheek statement based on the context of my reply then I don't honestly know how I could of been more clear. Also I wish to concur with a few posters above myself who have said this should now be left off the forum, you have made points as has the initial poster of this thread and as someone who knows neither the venue nor the band in question I will not pass judgement as to who is right in which regard. Two sides to every story etc etc.

They are pretty cool things. Always fancied one to gig for a laugh, they were designed with girls in mind through. Short scales etc etc. Actually not bad instruments.

From when I used to fly out I went to Altenburg with Ryanair, they cancelled the route though, there was talk of them opening a route to Hof Plauen,

I used to do Reading year in year out. I did 8 on the trot with a bunch of mates and from the 5th onwards it just got worse and worse. More and more people on site every year, more trouble caused by idiots, the lineup got progressively more indie oriented (which is the biggest crime against music since daphne and celeste) To top it off they now ask for over £200 a ticket... Is is any wonder this year is the first year in my memory it has not sold out on ticket release day, you can still get one now! £200 to stand in a field while your bank balance drops faster than an out of control elevator. Listening to music on awful sound systems by awful flavour of the month bands while tosspots stand next to you in designer wellies 'jah jahing' like it's the bloody tory convention. Nah, not for me.

oh dear. ill bang a bid in for a tenner!
