  1. There's a build thread about this bass in the Build thread.
  2. Identical to Jaco's??....I'm going to buy it then I'll be able to play just like Jaco... What do you mean it doesn't work like that...
  3. Ghouls just want to have fun - Cyndi Lauper
  4. I don't know why the Overlord stuff gets such a bad rap - it's a Steinberger copy, same as on the Hohners and Steinbergers during the 80s, etc - I'm not sure what the criticisms are but mine works OK.
  5. Don't forget your seminars or guest speakers. How about a gear test? Maple v Rosewood fretboard is always a good one - can people tell the difference? Cheap v expensive is also an interesting option. I have contacts at a couple of distributors who may be able to help with raffle prizes. Let me know when you have a date confirmed.
  6. Agree. I know a few former bassists who still have active accounts but have given up playing and sold their gear. Unlikely they'll be back. I'm fairly sure that several members who passed away in the last few years must also still have active accounts. People with duplicate accounts after forgetting their details? I know of a few of them. What about would be hackers? What happens to their accounts? I know that the site owners would like to have others think that there are 50,000 members but I think that (well as long as I've been a member) it's always had a hard-core membership of around 3-400.
  7. Looks like my old one - even some of the dents and scratches look familiar. It went to Oz, so I know it isn't the same one. GLWTS
  8. Heard only good things about these. I've been looking for the single cut version to come up for sale - preferably with a broken headstock so that I could dehead (behead?) it and make it headless. One of these or an Ibanez SRSC805... If anyone breaks theirs, please let me know.
  9. Just been practicing a little etude I found on YT - just some scales major up, minor down - so 1,3,5 in a major scale(A,Db,E), 5,3,1 (E,C,A) in a minor scale. The "natural" fingering in the major scale is 2nd, 1st, 4th finger but the fingering in the minor scale is 3rd, 4th, 1st. I hadn't played this before - requires you to swap the fingers that you start and finish the riff with. Much more difficult than you'd expect. Try it and see.
  10. I used this case with my Overwater J before selling it so shouldn't be an issue.
  11. I have an Overwater Hiscox case if the buyer of this wants to buy/trade.
  12. This maybe? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276209395622?hash=item404f5ce7a6:g:8TkAAOSwu~hlW6yt&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4E7zT2NzQaYPmeu91KX8xbcfQOMfAKBatXoK9BUfmtHmmw8H%2F9X1P3HmC9HNaBQBqW7Sut3MXWO5izY9hJezNFumx2e%2Bvx%2B6EfYdZytZq8qN1Y91hzSdld4ro%2B4Kq8KuYERlAZ1HrLtq0C4t047%2FAaXeShOt36YgkwrB4ORU5rCKlBLnI1sswilT%2BOdFvGTEQWm%2FmkAoN5IM6jI9tq8rinl8NeXyBGAcxzRezyQK7Ucerz0TFJXgaOLeQdCt22ZAkH6SlCB2vSash8isLSD2LTc1M4haqAKhdmXbloZcPS1V|tkp%3ABk9SR7Ddgp6LYw
  13. Check the neck break. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126133701254?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Uy6m256LS22&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3arTyUkpQE-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  14. (Don't leave me) Halfway to Paradise - Billy Fury
  15. I'm surprised that more bands don't do "A little less conversation..." by Elvis. Good catchy tune, great tempo and rhythm , lots of people know the song. Everything you'd think you'd want to get onto the setlist.
