  1. PJ - that's the way you want your Fenders - you get the cool of the jazz and the her-umphh from the Precision. So that's got Jaco covered with the J and the rest of the world with the P. GLWTS
  2. That surprised me. The colour tones are so close that I would have sworn that they were the same timber. GLWTS
  3. As a rule I like those knobs but for some reason they don't look right on this. Go back to the vintage ones.
  4. Chain gang - Sam Cooke
  5. This must be the most under-rated Jackson family tune ever.
  6. Can you dig it? - The Mock Turtles
  7. Working for the Yankee Dollar - The Skids Now doesn't that take you back??
  8. 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.
  9. What!! That's throwing money away...
  10. 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
  11. AS noted above - some amazing basslines from an amazing player. Taken at 59?? There is no justice in this world. RIP sir.
  12. Yes, me too. Let me know how.
  13. I'd buy this if I didn't already have one just like it....😉😉
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Dum Dum girl - Talk Talk
  17. 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...
  18. We are the Champions (the wonderhorse) - Queen
  19. Need some vintage medium scale flatwounds?? Rotos JB range. PM me...

  20. My mind turned to the Jimmy Summerville video when I read the opening thread.
  21. Cymbal in my driveway - Jack Johnson
  22. Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears 4 fears
  23. "...a fool and his money are easily parted..." As I know only too well.
