  1. I've had LaBella deep talkin' flats strung through on my P since 2010.
  2. How do I get that good at the blues? That is my only musical aim.
  3. I reckon these guys would http://www.guitarbuild.co.uk/productlist.php
  4. I used google and got Chromes - http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/p/912327/daddario-ecb81-5-flatwound-chromes-45-130-5-string/ Fender - http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/fender_9050_bass_strings_stainless_steel_flatwound_9050-5l_040-_125_set_of_5.asp
  5. A valve amp needs all sorts of high voltages that a solid state amp doesn't. My transformers I had wound recently are huge to provide the 550V on the HT side, plus windings for the 6.4V heaters and a 5V for the rectifier.
  6. My Wife walked in to Hans Zimmer - You're So Cool (you might know it from True Romance http://youtu.be/jq5kbNW8VKU and our first dance was the Cure - Feels like heaven (poor version by our wedding band unfortunately)
  7. It was yesterday but I focussed on learning some blues turnarounds. Got a couple of descending and ascending lines worked out that suit my ears.
  8. I was watching this the other day. Love that Aria sound.
  9. If it is good enough for Juan and Tommy it is good enough for me. To be honest I'm in two minds about the look but the reason for buying this body was that it was a Squier without the ugly routing, so the point is to have no guard.
  10. Body turned up yesterday and I offered up the CV scratch plate I have knocking about. It is no where near fitting. the control plate is really wide (and nasty looking). So I'm thinking about saving some effort and going for a no guard holes look and losing that option. Like this but with a matching headstock.
  11. What a crazy guitar, well done.
  12. Considering even some USA made Fenders have nasties under the scratch plate now I can't imagine Squier would waste any money on doing it nicely when they don't have to. Good thinking though.
  13. Maple and blocks Sonic blue http://s973.photobucket.com/user/mcgreg57/media/Laklands%20for%20Sale/HPIM0521.jpg.html?sort=3&o=8
  14. That would look good, but I don't like the colour. I thought about Capri Orange as it goes well with the maple, I like orange but do already have an orange P (not the one in the picture).
  15. Still deciding. The trouble with going for the maple cap is getting it to look right with a matching headstock. I think too light a colour (ie white) wont work. So right now I'm thinking Sonic Blue or Shoreline Gold. I've also got a white jazz bass already.
