  1. Back in 88 I traded my single pickup pro for a brand new Warwick custom Streamer, that was my Wal plus 750 pounds in cash! I was happy and used the Warwick for over 10 years so can't really complain I guess.
  2. Well, we have Killing Joke as well. Raven and Leigh were my inspirations for wanting a Wal early on.
  3. Its all over the "give em enough rope" album as well
  4. I remember reading somewhere he switched pretty quickly to using a P in the studio.

    NBD - P/J

    Looks the bizz, congrats
  6. Nice! photo's when you get time. Been gasing for one of those deluxe P's myself
  7. Congrats, (one too many strings for me) they are well worth the long wait. Enjoy and hope you play it for years to come.
  8. That's a beaut Lozz and sure it will go quick. Word of warning I have thought I could do without a Ray many times in the past only to find myself getting another. Like a P bass, a must for the Arsenal :)
  9. Just because I have the photo to hand Stingray gets my vote still.
  10. Now I get it, sorry so you did. Overlooked that somehow, thought it was another model lol.
  11. Something out, something new, a trade. She's feeling at home already. Had the real deal at one point a 76 in the same config, this one is not a boat anchor and sounds and plays nicely. The previous owner put in some FV 63 pups and had some fretwork done. Do you know what it is yet? I'm not a fan of Sig models normally, but decided to trade in a bass I wasn't using much. Time will tell.
  12. They are very good for not a lot of money. Got mine just before Crimbo. Flats are the way to go if you like the old school sound and feel. I only used mine at one practice session so far, but it really suited a few tunes. I have to make the effort to take it out a bit more, gets a lot of home use
  13. on my 2 band, simple I just cut the treble if there is too much bite and the same with the low-end if it over -powers. Where you play and how you dig in makes a big difference as well. I'm on my 3rd Stingray now and have finally got the eq sussed
  14. Wow! Some serious craftsmanship going on with those.
  15. Thanks. That was the idea that they all give something a little different. The Wal I use 90 odd % of the time. The others get a look in for recording and when I fancy a change 4 too many basses still
  16. My bass collection Jan 2020. A few in and out last year.. most bases coverd now
  17. Yes, he played on a few tracks on Sandinist. Tried to nail him down to which tracks they were but he said he can't remember the names (except mag7) and said he knows them when he hears them
  18. Holly Sugar! Did anyone spot this? Skyhigh price's They must be good sunglasses. https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_phil_lynott_precision_bass.htm
  19. Congrats Lozz, great basses. I have had 3 now, move them on but always lust for them again.Hopefully now this last one I got is a keeper. and you're right different basses inspire you to play different. Lets see how long you can keep the thumb and pop under wraps lol
  20. I think a PJ and a P bass will always sound different from each other anyway. Less full wood on the PJ body for example having the extra pickup routed, IMO. and yes the make and gauge of flats will play a major difference as well.
  21. Picked up a 77 Stingray a few weeks back, plays nice but had some trouble getting the action to my liking so took it to my local Lutheir. He told me the frets were uneven and had been crowned a few times in the past and that there was nothing left on them that he could do. He advised me to think if I wanted to sell how it is now (totally original) or that if I was going to use it the re-fret is a must to get the best out of it. I guess I just wanted to ask if you think it will lose a lot of resale value being re-fretted? I have decided to get the work done anyway, hopefully a keeper.
