  1. I got the bass back from Richard earlier and TBH I think that I may need to reconsider the parts used. It's going to be difficult to replicate the original Kawai tone.
  2. That's the same bass?? Would never have guessed.
  3. I had a single pickup on my Veillette Citron fretless - sounded amazing.
  4. A big Thank You to Richard for bailing me out with the problems I was having with my Kawai. A low volume bridge pick up resulted in me ordering a pair of custom replacements which didn't work with the existing preamp. Instructions weren't the clearest - certainly beyond me - but Richard decoded them and was able to install the new pair. Again, many thanks...
  5. Route 66 - Chuck Berry (ain't many roads longer than that)
  6. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374241019085?hash=item572280c4cd:g:fx0AAOSwj2JjFOJi&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoCSmdJ4bjFc6unRD3cvCcCqEuZUqfZ60QPrSe6PwSkbfcRVEqh5hkv%2FD5MHbKNi1D%2FyksbKQDQ6NRXfdWGagyTSQhq0LnEKFIM2ru4CYz2WPU7JOUkPQqtuP9LsGyn1AI%2Fku%2BI062QImJcT95BKn0PaUdvD9PSZPR2ODY47ZeUQLlpQwrILYF%2Bl2J7P%2FCLN8j1%2FybkkliqdcMDti9eoxiH0%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-yN2c-1YQ
  7. Is that a Hiscox case embossed with the Overwater logo? If not I have one I'm happy to swap.
  8. It's 1am UK time. I'll be tucked up in my bed at that time. I'll have to catch up with it tomorrow.
  9. If you think about it the DeLorian must be the least driven car ever.

     

    It was only ever driven from time to time.

  10. Stop dawdling man....get to it!!
  11. For me, "Ride on time" will always remind me of being on a kibbutz in the late 80s. Each evening we would find another kibbutz to go to. The Israelis would be happy to transport and accompany us as they loved the new style of dance music. We'd take our tapes and get the "dj's" to play them. We had the place jumping all night till we had to leave to start work at 4.15am. Great memories...
  12. I just posted something on another thread about a certain track being a means of time travel. Then I realised that most music does this for me. Songs that I haven't heard for a while will take me back to certain times and places which nothing else does - with the possible exception of smells and food. I'm sure that there's a scientific reason for this, which TBH I'm not really bothered about. Amazing though, don't you think? Examples of tracks and where/ when they take you back to...
  13. Love is life - Candy Flip A bit of time travel for those of a certain age. https://youtu.be/8vXtnde_0LY
  14. Just need black machine heads and a set of tapewounds... Any excuse to spend money on yourself...
  15. 22 Century BC?? I think I've seen Fred Flintstone playing one of those...
  16. You're forgetting that somebody put in the hours to (unnecessarily) move the pick ups.
  17. I had one of these which I scored for virtually nothing from a drummer who'd had it sitting around in the corner of the living room. SWMBO "suggested" he sell it. Nice basses obviously - it's a Yamaha
