I know mate, I was just being a tit.

I've got a great photo of me posing as Craig David with Kez - long story - I'll post it when I get home as the pic is on my lappy. I think you'll appreciate it....it's proper Bo!

Nice one Brother Matt!

When I first got the G.A.S for a MM I was going to go for a Teal, but I ended up finding a second hand Black SR4.

Getting back to the original line of the thread, I have just started to keep my 5 string Jaydee Supernatural Celeste fretless in the living room. However as it is in its case and is behind the sofa tight against the wall, the wife does not know it is there. We will see how thorough her washing of the floors is that she supposedly does every day!!

Last time I left my old Hartke combo in the house I later found the remnents of a melted ice cream in the air vent.

Toddlers and musical equipment in the same house do not mix!

Oh and if the bass doesn't make it onto the wall, the bloody cat should!

Yep! The cat has nearly been pinned to the wall on numerous occasions!!

I use a Ashdown MAG C410T-250. It's fab.

Have you tried the ashdown strings?

Nice.

I've used the Wide Boy Fatties. They're goog (esp considering price), but I prefer Elites (Stadium Stainless 50-110). Using Elixir Nanoweb on my main bass at present.

Try stringsdirect.co.uk for good discounts on bulk.

I'm on Rotosounds at the minute. i tried Ashdown strings once and thought they were excellant. The only problem was ordering them off the web, it took yonks for them to arrive.!

I am not familiar with the 'yonk' unit of time measurement. Is it a long time? Is more than one of them a bad thing? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ashdown strings are made by rotosound if that helps at all.

YONKS: noun UK OLD-FASHIONED INFORMAL
a very long time, usually a number of years:
How is Gareth? I haven't seen him for yonks!

Must be a Lancs thing...

I didn't know that about Ashdown strings. I know they come in a funky tin though.

:D

Yonks is not a Lancs things, mate, we use darn sarf all the time.

I have about three of the tins indoors, they'll come in handy for something one day - wont they?
