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

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!

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!

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?'

$2500

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!

http://www.destroyallguitars.com/newarrivals-extras/4842-pheo-viola-bass If you're new to Pheo Guitars, read on. These fractured, yet crafted, random yet profoundly organized instruments are the creations of Phil Sylvester of Pheo Guitars. They are the very epitome of functional art – they play, beautifully, even startlingly well. They are consummate instruments that press hard at the boundaries of what we normally think an instrument “should” be. From Pheo you will find remarkable guitars and amplifiers made from found objects and crafted elements – old instrument parts, hairdryers, grills, vacuum cleaners, etc. all deconstructed and reassembled into a whole that only vaguely resembles, and certainly transcends it’s origins. [b]Pheo Viola Bass - $2400[/b] McCartney style bass but made with a real viola body, solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides. A rock maple spine from neck pocket to tailpiece takes the string tension, leaving the top free to vibrate. 34 inch scale, 12 inch radius, graphite reinforced neck. P bass type pickup with volume knob, suspended over the body.

Good read Tom. For the record, I've never accepted an endorsement............mind you, I've never been offered one! If Brubaker want a 3 gig in school a year man to represent them in Scotland, I'm your man!

Defo used a Yam for a while.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1342624556' post='1738111'] Aghh you came a few weeks too late! We have a residency at the Cavern Club every other Sunday but we've been in Sweden playing. We're not a 'Beatles' cover band by any stretch of the imagination but we do a fair few Beatles tunes, plus a load of British rock tunes as well. Monday isn't a busy night in any city in England apart from London, so I'm hardly surprised you didn't get any live music on the night. The Cavern Club is what it is... a shrine to the Beatles. It's a tourist trap, but I happen to think that you probably just got very unlucky with the days that you chose to go, it's usually pretty lively. Sunday afternoons are usually best. Here's my band playing one of our regular slots. Sorry you had no luck this time! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhjYlyGQrfk&feature=relmfu[/media] [/quote] Bloody excellent mate!
