  1. May as well put up my first picture! This from my first proper gig with the G and L: [attachment=113457:bass gig picture.jpg] EDIT: I'll try and get a couple of other shots up later.
  2. It's not "in need" of a respray bar a chip I managed to take out of the paint in the first week of having the bass. It's more that I fancy a change and this seems like a good time to do it as I'll have the bass in bits anyway to put on the new bridge, electronics and pick guard.
  3. Wow, that looks really nice, how difficult was it to get the finish done to that level, still deciding whether to refinish mine when I upgrade it or not.
  4. Have to say this is really helpful for me looking back through this. I'm considering doing the same to my squire which has exactly the same body colour! Good luck with the rest of the project, I look forward to seeing it finished.
  5. I got a blue burst/maple on from the states last year and these are awesome basses, so versatile, enjoy it!
  6. Thanks for the help so far guys, could anyone link me a way to contact bass doc and kiogon to try and find out roughly how much it would cost to get the pickgaurd and wiring kit? I'm trying to get this done before I go to uni and want to have something that sounds good but doesn't look good enough to be tempting to steal! I've taken a look at the dimarzios and they are looking quite tempting so I'm going to have to try and decide between them and the wizards before I move on further.
  7. I'm thinking of modifying squire affinity p bass with a better pick up (Wizard thumper) and at the same time changing the pick gaurd and bridge. I've go some new rotosound strings to go on it when its done. My questions would be, I'm possibly ordering the bridge from the warmouth site and also possibly the pickgaurd but will the pickgaurd from ordered from there fit on to this bass? Will I need to uprate any of the other electronics (tone and volume controls) in order for the thumpers to work properly? Also is there anywhere uk based that I could get these parts from for a simmilar or cheaper price? Lastly, as this is my first go at modifying a bass have any of you guys with more experience modifying bass got any tips for a someone having their first go at it?
  8. My set list is currently: Paramore-loves not a competition The Wombats-moving to new York The view-face for the radio Coldplay-yellow Reel big fish-take on me More songs to be added to the set soon before we have a proper performance. This is for a 3 piece band with 2 guitarists and me on bass.
  9. At the moment it's an album by the black keys called el camino. The song lonely boy has been played on the radio quite bit recently and the rest of the album carries on in a similar vain to that.
  10. Not sure what his name is but I'm still running through a lot of plan b stuff at the moment so the bassist for him along with the bassist in no doubt having just learnt its my life!
  11. Gorillaz-feel good inc The Editors-Munich Plan B-What you gonna do The Wombats-Moving To New York These are probably 4 of my favourites at the moment. All fairly simple but very satisfying to play along to!
  12. [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1325525554' post='1483974'] No Doubts cover of It's My Life, great fun. [/quote] I'd second that, just learnt it having never heard of the band before my bass teacher suggested it and it's a really good fun line to play, especially the prechorus section.
  13. After thinking of getting flats for my project a relative of mine who knew nothing about my project sent me some roto flats by complete chance! Also got some money and am looking at a new amp possibly an ashdown eb180-12.
  14. Ok, so this is looking like it might be a slightly more substacial project as the bridge is slightly damaged/broken so is probably going to be replaced, thinking of giving it a new pickgaurd as well and a set of flatwound strings. Think the pickup has been narrowed down to either the wizard thumper or the emg p-x but what would you lot recomend for the bridge, strings and pickgaurd, the bass is currently blue if thats any help and I'm not planning on changing that anytime soon.
  15. Thanks fkr the tip, if their still up for sale and are up on here can you post a link for me amd I'll take a look.
