girlonbass Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 You guys are awesome! There's piles of good stuff here. Just going through the first few replies has given me a few hours work. Some of the brands you mentioned are in the the DataBASS but don't have the country flag. Those are easy to fix and I've done a few already. There are lots of old format pages (they appear with a blue background) that need to be redone. [url="http://www.bass-aholic.com/basses/S/status_graphite/status_graphite.htm"]Status (Graphite) [/url]is there, but didn't have a country code. That's fixed, but the page is old and ugly. There is a search function in the website that you can use... [center][url="http://www.bass-aholic.com/basses2.php?instr=All&country=All&searchfor=&recentOnly=true&orderBy=By+Date&show=What%27s%20New"][/url][/center] Thanks to everyone for the their contributions. And especially to those that provided links. Stay tuned. Let's see if we can get to 100! thanks, Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew him many years ago and found him to be a decent guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Is Jimmy Moon in Glasgow still going?? BC's Thornybank had a fantastic blue bass of his to sell a kidney for, it's the only one I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine has a guitar and banjo built by him, superb instruments. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Last I heard - a long time ago - he'd supposedly gone onto acoustic only instruments. Good to know he's still going anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day he was a UK manufacturer / luthier so should be on the list. He made some stunning basses too. Also ACG Point about luthiers not being on the list is an odd one as companies like WAL, Shergold etc started of as luthiers so where do you draw the line.

[/quote] no realistically all they will do (if their web admin is doing their job and examining referrers regularly) will be to email the offending referrer (ie BC) and request it be removed - not a great deal more they can do its often considered netiquette to email webmanagers/site owners if you have a website yourself and want to paste an in-depth link into their site as forces new visitors to by-pass the homepage but from a web forum??? if anybody gets snotty about that then good luck to them if they think they can do without the publicity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure I've posted links to the Mansons shop before. However if they don't want the publicity then screw them. It's not as though the basses are anything really special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) [quote name='charic' timestamp='1331207907' post='1569347'] ACG already on there [/quote] A small test - you passed with flying colours. Must admit i read the full thread and missed that one. Maybe i should pay more attention to what I'm reading Edit to say i can't see ACG on the thread. Not able to access the list though unless its on there. Cheers Dave Edited March 8, 2012 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[b]Letts[/b] Truckstop [/quote] Of course we count as part of UK. We don't all follow Mr Salmond's utopia where his sky is pink. The rest of us live in the real world where we all need each other within the UK. IMHO of course. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
