    Cracker!

    Poor Cenas! Excuse my English, 'cracker' means really good. It is a compliment! Sorry my friend - I was not accusing it of being a fake!

    Free bump for a cracker.

    [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1344247898' post='1761571'] I came here to correct a statement about soft and hardwood infestation but the author must have realised it was balls and deleted it. Fact of the matter is that they can go for most woods but only specific parts of the wood are of interest to them ie they don't like heartwood. I've seen ancient oak beams riddled with worm (my dad has a Tudor country house in Suffolk - incase you are confused as to why a NE Scot should have experience of an oak timberd building ) but they only look at the outer layers. One of the best ways to check if your woodworm is active is to tap the suspect wood and see if sawdust comes out the holes - the fresher looking the sawdust the more likely it is to have been made recently. Don't worry about your house or it's contents disappearing overnight as most modern construction timber is treated and your furniture, other basses etc will be coated with distasteful (to them) materials. Besides, when the adult beetles emerge they must find a partner to mate with... it is unlikely that they will find one in your house so the will either find their way outside or die a virgin inside.

    UPS [size=6][b]U[/b][/size]ndelivered [size=6][b]P[/b][/size]arcel to [b][size=6]S[/size][/b]cotland Read from top to bottom. Won a guitar from Charvel and Fender GB sent it immediately. Poor Russell North of Fender sent the tracking number and said it would be with me Friday the 3rd of August. Then we both had a laugh as it moves around the British Isles like the Olympic torch! Arrival Scan: Tamworth, United Kingdom, 08/05/2012 11:51 P.M. Departure Scan: Dublin, Ireland , 08/04/2012 12:13 A.M. Arrival Scan: Dublin, Ireland, 08/03/2012 6:45 P.M. Departure Scan: Tamworth, United Kingdom, 08/03/2012 3:51 A.M. Arrival Scan: Tamworth, United Kingdom, 08/03/2012 12:59 A.M. Departure Scan: Barking, United Kingdom, 08/02/2012 10:22 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS Germany, 08/01/2012 10:12 A.M. OK - how difficult is it to send a guitar from England to Scotland? UPS are really giving it a go! Feel sorry for Fender who have been great and are being let down by UPS's circuitous meanderings. I'm fully expecting my plank to be multi-stamped by passport control!

    So the consensus is we have a Pee bass and a sh*t bass?

    Firstly - American calendar dating system. Should have arrived last Friday but it was diverted to The Edge's tech for inspection. Secondly - Bassa!

    Tom46 to Me to Edster to Donnyboy....the Basschat bloodline is there! Miss this bass like crazy man! Set up by 7string at the time, think I also put some new capacitors in it and shielded it with copper lining (no guarantees!). Bought and fitted the black scratch plate too. What a technical wizard I am! Sold it in a GAS attack to get something better and never succeeded. If I had money I'd buy it with confidence.

    Jealousy is such a negative emotion but difficult to hide! Had a wee strum of this in MCM before our friend from the East came bearing gifts away from Glasgow. Love the look and really enjoyed the feel of this bass. Absolute cracker mate! Think it is better with the white plate too.

    Think JJB used a Hiwatt Guitar rig for his bass work early on!

    Love Kate's stuff. Can anyone watch the Cloudbusting video and not cry with the futility it imparts? Running up that Hill too - amazing song!

    Well done Cutty Sark!

    Really enjoyed that!

    Best of luck mate - there's just very little spare cash floating around these days.

    I'm a bass player. I also play rhythm guitar. It's a no-brainer - the guitarists are 10 a penny in comparison. Usually I say to those trying to shoe-horn songs into a set list, 'If you can't learn this set list....do you want simpler songs?'
  21. merello
    Can't believe this ain't gone! If only you wanted a swap with a Yam BB414........

    [quote name='wingnutkj' timestamp='1343761803' post='1754892'] Meh - the naysayers are idiots - Glasgow's a great place for a wander. From Central station, head down Jamaica Street to Kenny's Music for a look round, then nip along Howard Street, up through St Enoch Square to House of Fraser. When the missus is distracted by the shiny things, nip out another exit and bolt up Buchanan Street, hang a right at All Saints, through Royal Exchange Square (passing the Gallery of Modern Art and the statue of the Duke of Roadcone) and along Ingram Street. Down Glassford Street at, and into Garth Street for Merchant City Music. From there, down towards Argyle Street, then east a bit and down King Street for a pint at the 13th Note, then across the road to Strung Out Guitars, into Mono for another pint and a look round Monorail records, then back up onto Argyle Street for Guitar Guitar. Swiftly back along Argyle St to Buchanan St again where the missus will be waiting irately at the corner. Tell her you got lost on the way to the changing rooms. [/quote] You are me?!?!

    [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1343752520' post='1754655'] It's so wrong it's kind of right! It would be Interesting to hear what it sounds like. I suspect neck dive may be an issue. And verbal abuse at gigs. [/quote] Just ask for a brick to be inserted during the build!
