obbm Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) There I was thumbing through the latest edition that dropped through the letterbox this morning when I chanced upon an article called Weekend Warriors on page 72 which featured our own "Stingrayfan" and his band "Wag The Dog". Nice one Matt. Well done. Edited October 20, 2007 by obbm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere in Witney stocks it unfortunately ;0)[/quote] It's about someone who picked up a dead 1984 Trace 1110 combo from Bassworld for free, got it repaired for a small sum and is now gigging with it. The interesting bit is that it was probably a prototype, being serial number 002 and was probably evaluated by Mark King as it has his name inside it. Now you don't need to buy the magazine.

My mate asked me if I was gutted but I'm glad it's gone off to a good home otherwise it would still be in my garage or more than likely been cannibalised by a friend of mine up the road. Nice story and I'm glad to see it's now having the use it deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 MB1. BLOODY HELL, ive just opened the back of my Ashdown Combo and its got "Property of Paul Ryder so F**K O** Y** F*****G T**T! on it........PRICELESS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) Oh bugger - I've been rumbled. Although because of the postal strikes, I've yet to see my copy. Thanks Sean for the Trace combo. It sounds great and defo worth the return trip to Bristol to pick it up. I'll prob use it again on Friday night at the local pub. Watch out for the next issue which should feature another BC'er in the Weekend Warrior slot. I will keep his identity a mystery so as not to spoil the surprise. Good to hear you're all buying BGM. The more support it gets, the more it can grow. Edited October 20, 2007 by stingrayfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
