Bass-ic Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='451922' date='Apr 1 2009, 07:34 PM']This thread cracked me up! Ask for advice and throw your toys out the pram when you don't get it quick enough! Am I better off overpaying on my mortgage given we're on a tracker, or should I put the extra money available due to a low interest rate into an ISA? Quick. The Meter's running you bastards![/quote] I think you should buy coke, after all, the price is bound to go up in a reccession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the GL is concerned, I just paid £350 for an immaculate 2500 Tribute and was very happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 This makes me laugh. BBC impresses us all with his discerning insight that I was 'throwing my toys outta my pram' and annoyed at the tardiness of requested assistance. Maybe, just maybe I made a sarcastic comment in relation to an unhelpful and judgemental reply to my request for a bit of help. Then again maybe bbc knows me best?

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Simple answer to a simple question, Peter... Yes. Most shops won't let these out of the door for less than about £500. I tried last summer at a place in Hull! Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thank you Rich. Looking forward to getting it home and putting it through it's paces. If anyone needs a 5'r then Allegro Music in Colchester have one for £399. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived for some years in Hull (a long time ago now), I'm trying to remember the name of the music shop just down from the now totally unacceptably named "Asbestos" store Oh... £350 for a Tribby. Buy it. Damn good bass.... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to hi-jack your thread (although, given the fact that you've already bought the bass, it's no longer relevant), I just think you over-reacted. I also think you took the initial response (which was a throw away comment) to heart somewhat. If you can post on basschat, why can't you look up the RRP online - or am I missing the point? As for starting my own thread, what would be the point? Shall I title it "I think GreeneKing was a bit snappy the other day, but apart from that seems like a decent fella"?

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Another amazing lesson from the BBC school of tact & diplomacy! You'd think after several bans, people would learn... But then again those bruises remind me of the old addage of, "What do you tell someone with two black eyes? - Nothing, you've told them twice already!!!"

Where's your bad boy streak!? His comment could be read as bitchy, or it could be read as funny. His comments after that clearly demonstrate frustration, but that could be down to the misinterpretation of his post, rather than the time it took for his to receive a satisfactory reply.

GK is a big boy, I think he over-reacted. If you ask people for help on an online forum, you won't always get helpful answers! I'm sure he'll get over it. I've over-reacted before no doubt and been called up on it accordingly. It's no big deal. I question the life some of you guys lead if you think my comments constitute having a proper go at someone! By nature I'll always confront people. I never do it with malice. I'm sure GK is smart enough to know that. If not, he should drop me a PM and we'll have a e-cuddle. Otherwise, listen to the advice my late old man gave me when I was suffering from a hang over one day; "Get yourself an empty pint glass, go the fridge, and pour yourself a big glass of toughen-the-f***-up." Nice fella my old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 I would have checked it out online but Blackberries, as good as they are arn't the best tool for it. I was in town sorting my Mum's bank stuff out (it's a mess)and was time pressured to get home to take her to the Drs. So when my request for a help with the price i.e. had I stumbled on a once on a lifetime bargain, and was met with a 'given your gear you don't need it' reply I was annoyed. Maybe it was meant in a lighthearted manner and maybe it wasn't, the 'dreaded' smiley might have helped. Hopefully that's it? Bass seems great and I'm loving the switching options even through the Tascam which is very poor for playing bass through but great for other things. If I've upset anyone by being 'brittle' I apologise. Pedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
