    Glad you like it pal, it's a whole lot of bass that.
  2. Rayman
    Surely someone will buy this soon??? It's a beauty.

    Man......that's a beautiful bass guitar, same age as me too, so I feel that I should be the rightful owner? You're [i]very[/i] lucky, and I'm [i]very[/i] jealous.

    Replied.

    I just ordered myself some 64s for an incoming jazz, for that trad jazz tone.

    Here's my old partsocastor; Originally a Korean Squier, the only original parts now is the body and bridge. The neck is a mexican neck bought separately from ebay, as is the scratchplate and controls. The tuners are Gotohs, and you can see the original holes where the old tuners were; The best part are the pickups. FABULOUS fENDER Texas Specials, made in the USA, and the bees knees tone wise. Cons: Made up of various parts, holes visible on headstock from old tuners, body really battered. It was dropped at some point by it's previous ownwer, putting a crack in the paint along the body. The inside of the body has been crudely butchered under the pickguard at some point, perhaps for a humbucker at some point. Pros; It plays and sounds absolutely great. The Texas Specials are the best strat pickups for me. The Gotoh tuners are great, and the neck is a really nice example if you don't mind the holes where the old tuners were, other than the holes, it has minimal wear. A players guitar, and by no means in perfect nick, but it really does play and sound awesome, and honestly, I've had it many years, and will miss it, I've done many gigs with it over the years. GONE.

    I bought a ticket for the Barbican in London to see Marcus Miller on his Tutu revisited tour. The date is Sunday 22nd Nov, the same day as the Manchester Bassday which I'm already going to, so, I have to miss out on Marcus. The seat is on the front row of the circle, and so should be a great place to see the gig, and surely the best sound. Face value £25, and I'll even throw my parking voucher in for free. NOW SOLD.

    Great deep tone from the bass, it's hard to beat a nice upright sound, very impressed.

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='619272' date='Oct 7 2009, 07:56 AM']I'll be up soon for a dabble [/quote] Me too. Another Jazz on its way in, which should be interesting once it's sorted out. Love the Spectors mate, superb. Of course the water cured one is a stunner, but I'm looking forward to a go on the white one too.
  10. Rayman
    Me too, it looks a real player.
  11. Rayman
    Lovely bass, and a top bloke to deal with too.
  12. Rayman
    Any chance of more pics, they're very small.

    64s are the traditional jazz sound, and the ones I prefer. 84s are bigger and darker sounding due to the extra windings. Don't know about the Hammers. Bridge wise, I'm not convinced that changing the bridge makes a big difference, but others will disagree. Start with the Wizards and take it from there, I don't think you'll need to change anything else on it to be honest. Of course, if you're feeling flush, drop a John East J Retro EQ into too, and you've got a monster on your hands.

    Pics of it have been on here before haven't they? Anyway, how could anyone not love that? It's gorgeous. Some lucky swine will get it, best of luck.
  15. Rayman
    Just stunning, I love the paint job.

    I witnessed Pete Way trying to keep Phil Mogg and Michael Schenker apart during a UFO gig in Manchester a couple of years back. Schenker was totally pissed as usual, and Mogg took exception to his lousy playing, and so tried to hit him with the mic stand. Only Pete Way and his Thunderbird could keep them apart. Very funny.

    [quote name='TheButler' post='617599' date='Oct 5 2009, 04:11 PM']I like to do a lot of laptop rooted experimenting and i couldn't make sounds half as weird as his. He has a creative mind many would envy, but the product - that is his music - is what many would call.. well, rubbish.[/quote] Yep, each to his own, that's for sure. I'm definitely a fan though, I love it. After years of the live band treadmill, My brother and myself are about to start some home demo stuff, hopefully in a similar style to Squarepusher, but of course nowhere near as good!! I'm not up to that kind of standard, not by a country mile and then some, but certainly for our own fun, and it beats band politics any day, I mean, drum machines don't answer back . I think it's a shame that some bassists won't give Squarepusher a go, I think there's room for everything from James Jamerson to Squarepusher and everything inbetween.
  18. Rayman
    It is a bit mad, and certainly not for the traditionalists, but if you like to explore new areas of music, and where you could take a bass onto different levels, Squarepusher is a real inspiration.
  19. Rayman
    That looks rather nice.

    [quote name='Mecklenburg' post='617541' date='Oct 5 2009, 03:28 PM']I'm thinking its not worth £400...[/quote] Unless I'm missing something.....me neither.

    Yeah awesome. Enjoyed the interview with him in BGM too Mike. Russ.

    Radio 1, Friday Rock Show session for Tommy Vance in 1986, in the days when I was a lead singer. When I was a kid, I used to listen to the show religiously, and dreamed of being on it one day. When I was actually in Maida Vale recording the session, I could hardly believe it. Standing next to the radio when it was broadcast, with my mum and dad listening, was a very proud moment.
  23. Rayman
    Oh yeah, post isn't a problem.
  24. Rayman
    Yes indeed, still here.
