<- Bit of a looker that Shane bloke.

[quote name='Bloc Riff Nut' timestamp='1377690732' post='2190373'] I'm usually onstage in an old t-shirt and jeans,and not much of a looker - the Barefaced cabs are positively bling bling next to me(nobody is looking anyway). [/quote] You are Shane McGowan and I claim my £5.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1377600311' post='2189158'] All I can say is if you want people to recognise your bass from all the other Fender clones then put a legible logo on it. [/quote] Or hideous headstock shape.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1377261279' post='2185461'] A few of the strippers I have seen had bits falling off and would look better behind a mesh cloth too [/quote] Haha! Anyway.... Rootbeer!!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1377449808' post='2187673'] Buying anything new as an investment is probably a bad idea, then again I know a guy who paid £9k for a Jimmy Page les paul a while ago, Gibson reduced them to £7200 a few months after, then Led Zepplin reformed a few months later and he sold it for £12500 so what do I know? [/quote] Haha. Indeed. And this was the same guy that bought a John English Stealth and lost a load of money on it because he routed a humbucker into thd neck! Just shows he used that as a player rather than an investment!

Anybody questioning his playing is a bit of a fool... He may not be a chops monster but he has a great feel and knows exactly how to place the beat. For example, check this - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5ulSPzy2CA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5ulSPzy2CA[/url] Fairly straight forward... but executed with absolute perfection. Relaxed but a perfect feel.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1377259258' post='2185414'] [/quote] Oooh! Now that's nice! Available with tweeter?

We all know that it's going to end up nailed to the wall in a pub...

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1377084808' post='2183092'] I am close to chewing my own arm off waiting for mine. [/quote] Don't do that... mind you, less arms, should save wear and tear on the handles.

[sup]I can't believe this bass is still for sale![/sup] [sup]I'd have it if it had the right number of strings![/sup] [sup]Here's a free bump![/sup]

My question. Are you REALLY prepared to answer ANY question?

eubassix made a nice little earner on that one... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251281014276#ht_292wt_988"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251281014276#ht_292wt_988[/url]

OBBM is great. Can't sing his praises enough. His "singerproof" XLR cable is still holding up perfect. Music wise, I can only recall paying full whack upfront for my inear monitors - but that's kinda understandabe. They'd be left with a product unique to me if I didn't pay the balance.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376856818' post='2180093'] Tapping? [/quote] Mid set action check.

[quote name='Francis Pettifer' timestamp='1376873188' post='2180298'] I still gig regularly in and around the Coventry/Midlands areas, and yes, I am, [b]Fran Pettifer[/b].....(the waistcoat, sadly, was stolen at a gig), I've sold the Bass Collection, and now use a Yamaha TRB5p. [/quote] Right. Next job. Lets find that waistcoat... or at least a like for like replacement.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1376811044' post='2179262'] I'm not suggesting anything - I just wondered whether people would think a builder would be in the wrong if something was damaged after it had left his workshop. By complete chance this has actually happened to me personally. Something was sent out in perfect condition, a buyer tinkered with it and caused some problems. He then said it was faulty when it arrived and asked for his money back. What made it worse was that he said it was faulty when I sent it and that I had deliberately misrepresented it when I put it up for sale. I took it back without getting involved in a protracted wrangle because it seemed easier and then had to pay to have the damage rectified. [/quote] Absolutely not. What was the fault?!

Plenty of other threads to look at...

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1376777440' post='2179111'] Hypothetically speaking. . . If I buy a bass that's been used and shows obvious wear marks that the builder tells me about, then I fiddle around with it and make it significantly worse, does that mean the guy who sold it to me is completely in the wrong and shouldn't have sold it to me in the first place? [/quote] Barrie - surely you arent telling me that the purchaser of this bass routed the horn like that.. then went to the trouble of refinishing it? The superglue would have cleaned up easy. Whether it was put there or not be JC, I cant believe it would have left the JC workshop without the glue being removed. All very odd.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1376767681' post='2178962'] [/size] [size=4]Heh, heh. It would apply to everything I own now and in the future too, [i]except [/i]for the BF cab I'm going to buy as soon as I've got the loot. [/size][size=4]I've wanted one ever since I borrowed Happy Jack's S12 for a few months and if paying up front for it is the only way it's going to happen, then so be it![/size] [/quote] Theoretically then, if the BF operation went pop, there could be a lot of money owed. Why is this company working lile this? Im guessing it needs the money in order to pay for... something?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376750880' post='2178690'] The silver cloth does look much better than the tandy style ones. [/quote] Just got to work on the 80s logo now.

Ah! Any of Wayne's chequerboarded basses!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1376775446' post='2179088'] Mike's (urb) Sei fretless. [/quote] Didnt think he had a fretless Sei. You meaning his singlecut?

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1376679965' post='2178052'] Fact of the matter is that the specs against anything else that's even close are still more expensive and this is an example of a cab that gets used a lot. [/quote] I think that factoid was debunked at post #126.

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1376483833' post='2174565'] No doubt he is a great bassist and deserves all the credit he gets. However, the music on the clip seems to be more about technique/chops with little in the way of relating to an audience. I could not relate to it. YMMV. [/quote] It's one of those shread things isn't it?

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1376666460' post='2177727'] I'm afraid Axminster is in receivership. Will tufted Wilton do. [/quote] True. But ideally, I'm looking for a vintage Axminster P bass. With matching strap.
