  1. Done tastefully I have nothing against it,
  2. I have had a few P's in the Fender variety. Two that I really thought were keepers, light weight, growl and that vintage vibe, a late 60's and early 70's , but alas both gone now.. Funny now I have a Dee Dee signature P from recent times and it's not half bad!
  3. It could be that they are priced a little high. But if it's "that" sound you're after nothing else will get you close (at least nothing I have tried). I'd guess a lot of hours goes into making one and also the cost of the materials. They don't seem to hang about long when one is for sale, I guess the used market and long waiting list for a new build affects the price as well. Go try one
  4. 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.
  5. Well, we have Killing Joke as well. Raven and Leigh were my inspirations for wanting a Wal early on.
  6. Its all over the "give em enough rope" album as well
  7. I remember reading somewhere he switched pretty quickly to using a P in the studio.

    Looks the bizz, congrats
  9. Nice! photo's when you get time. Been gasing for one of those deluxe P's myself
  10. Congrats, (one too many strings for me) they are well worth the long wait. Enjoy and hope you play it for years to come.
  11. 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 :)
  12. The Daddy of the Ray's my 77.
  13. Just because I have the photo to hand Stingray gets my vote still.
  14. Now I get it, sorry so you did. Overlooked that somehow, thought it was another model lol.
  15. Bingo! Well done Lozz.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Loverly, enjoy.
  20. Wow! Some serious craftsmanship going on with those.
  21. 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
  22. My bass collection Jan 2020. A few in and out last year.. most bases coverd now
  23. Sometimes. An 83 Ibanez Musician.
  24. 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
  25. 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
