It's yet another gig that you turned down and I got on the rebound Pete, surely you know how it works by now?! Yep, I'm being tongue in cheek, but it was my first time getting payed to record for someone else. I was asked to write a bit and record for them as they're a bit of a "loose collective" and one of the main members who usually plays bass live wasn't feeling all that inspired. I played shockingly for a lot of the session but they're really into digital editing so as long as there was a few good licks they were happy to cut, copy and paste the tracks together, which also gives them a bit more control over how the finished article comes out. As far as the title of "Pro" goes, I don't think it applies until your main income is from that line of work, so I've got a little way to go yet!!

Played a session for a local folk band on Sunday, wasn't expection it but earned £20 for my troubles. I guess that officially makes me a pro! Well chuffed!!

[quote name='neepheid' post='388305' date='Jan 22 2009, 10:42 AM']I've sold one bass this year already! [/quote] And very nice it is too! I on the other hand have made an offer for my 4th new one since Christmas this week. Can't go on like this..... I hope your current situation all comes good in the end mate.

I bought an OLP Stingray (great condition and well set up) from Matt for a very reasonable price, he got it to me in no time at all. Great communication throughout and seems like a really genuine guy. Can't ask for more than that! Cheers!

I think that's a Manta Ray

That's the thing, I've been twiddling my thumbs wondering whether to or not and like someone said, they're probably going up in price now!!

Did anyone else know about this? I just tried to visit their website and was told the "Thank you for all the years of support. The OLP brand has been retired, starting in 2009." Seems a shame if you ask me, from what I could tell they were decent quality for the money.

Gotta love a bit of showmanship, my whole reputation's based on it!

Mine dumped me, and now just tells me to go ahead and buy it to shut me up (we still live together).

"Phil who? Oh yeah, of course....... Phil who?"

ARGH, have you had anything done (medically, surgically) about your cysts? Or have you found that they aren't a problem if you work around them?

Nice one, cheers! I'm not quite on for a custom at the mo but I'll bear him in mind!

What sort of bass is that? Looks right up my street! I searched Google for JFG basses, but couldn't find anything. I couldn't find anything about DW basses when I looked either, Dougal had one at the SE Bash and it was VERY nice. Unless I've got the name wrong.

Awesome, keep up with the map WPD! It's going to be really interesting to see where it goes. It's be cool if people could post pics of themselves with it too, or the bass in different places it gets to. Kudos on a very generous and interesting gesture by the way!

Lush bass mate, wanna sell it?

Sounds nightmarish. Good luck with it.

I hope so.
