Think you might be right Paul with that part starting on the B ... funny I have been playing it wrong all these years .. you can teach an old dog new tricks

yes i used to watch him as well thrashing it down around his knees..Good days indeed

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1397067393' post='2420363'] that's the intro/outro the verse is different, the bit that starts "London Calling to the faraway towns" [/quote] you mean something like? Edit, nearly the same different position G |------------------------------------------------------ D |---------------------------------------------------- A |--7-7-----------8-8--------------- E |----------0575--------0575---33----0575----33-------------------------

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1397059042' post='2420257'] I'd imagined it as: G |------------------------------------------------------ D |--------------------10-------------------------------- A |--2-7--10-7-10------2-7--10-7-10--------------- E |-----------------------------------------8------------- [/quote] That's how I have always been doing it as well

[quote name='The fasting showman' timestamp='1397045911' post='2420034'] I'm no authority, with my 2007 3 eq Stingray (sounds great to me), but I would have thought that the '83 one would have been made after all of the truss rod problems. Wasn't all the woodworking done under licence by Charvel at this point, due to said problems with CLF? It would be the '83 for me, I think you chose well. [/quote] From my understanding, all those necks were either fixed thrown away or replaced.. be a bit rare and unlucky to get landed with one of those nowadays I'd imagine. Might even be worth more to some collectors

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1397039121' post='2419933'] Hello, my name is Bassnut and I am a musice-quipment-o-holic............ [/quote] lol Bassnut, a man that knows himself. I seem to be fairly helpless or hopeless as well. One thread around January I quoted myself as saying I was now GAS free (and I believed it at the time as well).. bought 2 (nice) basses since then..

Hard choice lol. Will add I have an 82 toploader and it's great Enjoy the search.

Maybe the odd peek won't hurt

I can't be the first!

Done, as well

For me it's a mixture of both.. just playing with other musicians is nice as well, rehearsal or just get together. I do like the gigs and look forward to them. Once a month suits me fine, Summer time were usually at it everyweek , it's hard balancing work, family duties and the late nights that usually go with giging. When I roll into bed at 4am I sometimes ask myself if it was worth it.. normally the answer is yes. (not always lol)

He is great isn't he ,, He flogged his old Fender shoreline gold jazz and now uses his signature bass centre copy, [url="http://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bass-centre-blockhead-bass.html"]http://www.basscentr...khead-bass.html[/url], they do a rhythmstick stick version as well, which I have also seen him use, which is a copy of his 71 Fender P with the extra jazz pickup.. His tribute to Jaco at the time I think.

[quote name='pdw' timestamp='1395773877' post='2406160'] Can you tell me why not ? [/quote] For me they were neither like rounds or flats and something in-between and also slightly higher tension than I like... they didn't do the rounds thing well or flats thing. Tried them on a fretted then fretless and they just didn't work for me.

I tried the GHS Brite flats in long scale, wasn't really that impressed tbh.

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1395684442' post='2405087'] Scott Devine's Precision IS an artificially relic'ed bass [media]http://youtu.be/eoVfamlcbYo[/media] [/quote] Scott gives it more bass-face with the P than the Jazz lol

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1395497258' post='2403070'] Nice on Don, keep us posted with your findings, have been looking at these myself, always liked Fender bass amps - aside from the weight/size. These look good on the clips, very interested on a real-user verdict though. [/quote] I'll be able to compare it directly to my Shuttle and Tonehammer

I've ordered the 500 head, to use as a possible back-up.. should have it sometime next week hopefully

Mine has no AC power connector socket, maybe it runs off USB power, never tried that. Mine might be an older version. Edit for a vid.. this is the one I have no external power as you can see, [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF_KhaQeZmo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF_KhaQeZmo[/url]

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1395476883' post='2402809'] Specs look good...anyone tried it? Might be a useful tool to have with decent HD type visual...? [/quote] I've had one for over a year now, very handy and still use it a lot.. The downside for me after using it for a while are that there is no line -in, only runs on batteries, which will last you about 2 hours on full HD settings. Hard to see the back of the screen for levels or framing when you have it in a corner or pushed up against a wall for example. I'd highly recommend getting a little tripod or table stand to use with it. I have been very happy with mine, it's good but not perfect.

Nothing wrong with a root Get some of the old 12 bar going or some blues scales, they nearly always help me out and get me going. Someone like Simo from the Clash was very reggae influenced and transferred the groove to Rock.

Not bad for some old farts [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwLeTPVuD3c"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwLeTPVuD3c[/url]

Cool stuff. Only have a couple of things. I have a Rock the Casbah 12" signed by the Clash. Joe, Paul, Míck and Topper This year I got Wilko to sign the back of a telecaster.
