    Yo!!

    Howdy! Good to like lots of music! Like everything - miss nothing!
  6. W'aleikum as salaam! Everyone, as stated, is welcome here! Hope it's warmer there than here...5 C
  7. Well, a quick Google showed that until fairly recently, he was still playing occasionally for Taste! It's still going...
  8. I like my basses to be in as good nick as busily gigged basses can. The Black Std Precision has the odd minor scar and ding, after around 300 gigs, so I reckon I'm doing well. The 51RI is 13 years old, was relatively unused until I got it, and has since done, ooh, 150 gigs or so. It still looks (almost) new. I don't mind that they get playing wear and dings, but relicing in any form is horrible to me. And dirty instruments? You would not not be so blasé if you were a tech and had to clean them...

    Hello folks

    Welcome, and good luck with the project!
  10. Welcome indeed. I really must visit Ireland at some point...
  11. Welcome, and an advance Happy Birthday from another oldie, who's 57 in 3 weeks! Gasp!
  12. [quote name='OldGit' post='676242' date='Dec 6 2009, 10:33 PM']Welcome young man [/quote] Same from me!
  13. My take:- The 66 P had a maple cap neck, not a fretted maple one-piece a la 50s Classic. So, a maple Standard MIM is closer. Stick in a Wizard Thumper and Robert is your mother's brother... It's my personal opinion that the cap neck gave the extra raunch, not the pickups. Nearly all current maple neck Fenders have this arrangement, and it does give a harsher, punchier tone.
  14. Welcome, from just over the border in Cornwall. The thing to remember about being a n00b is that, like being a virgin or a learner driver, everyone was at some point! So dive right in and enjoy!
  15. You're quite wrong - it's a LOT of a myth!
  16. Welcome!
  17. That's my experience! I was out for 17 years, and it wasn't just more fun - I found I was better at it, too! Don't ask me why - I just found I was more fluid, somehow.
  18. Really, don't worry. Much more important to get on with the bass playing!
  19. Welcome, from another Cornish resident - just! I'm about 500 yds from Devon here in Calstock. As to the amp, look out for an Ashdown Electric Blue EB15-180 combo. Not expensive new, and can often be had used.

  21. Welcome! Mmmm, lots of toys...
  22. Welcome!
