You're forking out for a new Marshall amp, too, aren't you Bruce?

The only thing that has tempted me recently was the fact that Lakland Skyline basses have appeared over here and they look pretty good from the test in the latest (UK) Bass Guitar magazine, which popped through my letter box yesterday!!

So, for example, when it says first valve, the note could be any of the following:
Bb (below middle C) F Bb D F Bb D ...
It'd be a bit of a lottery!

If I wasn't stuck up here with more than enough to do in May (end-end-of-term time, plus enough gigs I've already got tickets to) I would sooooo come down to check you's out.
Other end of the country? Pah! |

There's the Edinburgh festival, but that's really lots of littler ones that happen at the same time....  |

| | Unprofessional TalkBass Contributor | | Join Date: Dec 1999 Location: Brighton, England, UK, Europe | | | That's the one and that's what the Brighton Festival is like - with a "Fringe", as I mentioned.
So - it is like the first excuse of the year for everybody to get out and spend more time out doors - free street theatre, exhibitions ,strange sculptures, firework displays, parades etc etc ..
