Gamble

D'oh?

I went £400 over budget when I got my Thumb bass and it was worth every penny, you've just doubled yours which is pretty impressive, so I'm sure you wont regret it!

One of my guitarists is selling a thru-neck Peavey 5 string, I'm not sure which model it is but it looks much like this: He's not after much for it and if you're interested I'd get my hands on it and try to get you some more details. I've played it before and it felt and sounded really good, plenty of tone control if I remember correctly.

+1 for throwing the horns, that's my best move on stage! A pointy finger straight up in the air is always a good one too.

Bloody Plank-w***ers. I guess every musician secretly thinks it would all fall apart without them though, no matter what instrument they play. Gotta remember it's a team game!

The fella from (not very) Good Charlotte has a bass clef tattoo'd behind one of his ears, nearly put me off getting mine done. I don't think small tatt's that are visible but tucked away look bad, but that nasty, chavvy trend of innitials on the side of the neck is a bit rank. Just shows a completly blind willingness to follow a trend - ANY trend. A friend of mine has a couple of stars behind her ear and that looks ok, but she's got plenty of other tatt's and piercings to distract you from it anyways! 'Scuse the blood, she sent me this when it was brand spankin'!

'Scuse the n00b question, but are "soapbars" humbuckers in disguse? If so, are they always? Or is "soapbar" just a generic name for large p'ups?

Just bought a preamp from Rich, really good comunication throughout, amp came well packaged and in mint condition. Top trumps!

Gah, what a bunch of suck-ups, eh Sarah? Not like me, I'm dead smooth..... *nudge nudge*

We certainly don't get the girls, I'm living proof of that!

To quote Chris Dale: I can’t get a job cause I can’t get out of bed. I can’t go to college cause I’ve nothing in my head. I can’t play drums and I can’t really sing I’ve tried to play guitar but it’s got far too many strings I’ll play bass It’s got four strings; I only use two. I’ve never worked out what the others do. I play bass I’m happy here just strumming along But I’m still not sure how to play this song I play bass Here we are in another verse The first was bad this can’t be worse I play bass Still don’t know quite why I’m here Never mind, I’ll get another beer I play bass NOW WE COME TO THAT PART OF THE SONG THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GO ON FOR SO LONG WE DON’T MIND IF YOU WANT TO NOD OFF COS THE BASS PLAYER’S ABOUT TO SHOW OFF. GO So if you can’t... And if you can’t... GO PLAY BASS Even the drummer’s doin’ it ===================================== And Chris Dale's the shizzle!

Cheers guys!

Thought I'd start a thread for my feedback as I'm starting to deal more on the forums and keep asking others for theirs, so fairs fair! Cheers! Matt

The room looks lush too by the way.

I love crowd photos, so many of them aren't expecting it so you always get a really good array of bizarre faces!

Where were these prices when I bought mine!!!!!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='326914' date='Nov 11 2008, 04:19 PM']No. The loops on that box will run in series: IN -> A SEND -> A RTN -> B SEND -> B RTN -> OUT. So if you send your signal into loop A but it never returns, send B won't get any signal (it will have left the building!).[/quote] Not that I don't believe you, but how do you know the 2 loops run in a series? Is that just how that sort of unit works?
