  1. That surprised me. The colour tones are so close that I would have sworn that they were the same timber. GLWTS
  2. As a rule I like those knobs but for some reason they don't look right on this. Go back to the vintage ones.
  3. This must be the most under-rated Jackson family tune ever.
  4. Working for the Yankee Dollar - The Skids Now doesn't that take you back??
  5. There has probably been enough instruments constructed over the last 60 years to keep the world of music going for years to come. There is no reason to produce new instruments in any quantity. We, basschatters, should lead from the front, set a good example and only buy used equipment. Now you're saying to yourself "that makes sense - that's basically what I've been doing for the past 10/20/30 years". Let others take the first financial "knock" - let them lose 20% of the instruments value and let it be us who snaffles those bargains from ebay/ Gumtree/ the BC marketplace. We can be Environmental Heroes and have a good time doing that.
  6. AS noted above - some amazing basslines from an amazing player. Taken at 59?? There is no justice in this world. RIP sir.
  7. Yep Jaco was an absolute genius with a 4 string - imagine what he could have done had he turned his hand to 6 string. I think if Jaco had lived most of us would have given up years ago with disillusionment.
  8. I don't have big hands - for me it's about pivoting off the thumb. I have a 7 fret stretch that way (not that I'd want to play like that though.
  9. Anders bought a Fender Hi Mass bridge from me. Money was sent before I'd even found it in my parts box!! If I can just get him to buy the Crown Jewels from me...😉😉 Trade with absolute confidence...
  10. We are the Champions (the wonderhorse) - Queen
  11. Need some vintage medium scale flatwounds?? Rotos JB range. PM me...

  12. My mind turned to the Jimmy Summerville video when I read the opening thread.
  13. Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears 4 fears
  14. "...a fool and his money are easily parted..." As I know only too well.
  15. Loads of watchers/ bidders - this won't be selling for next to nothing as I'd hoped.
