Bassman Sam

Great band. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again.

There is a nice 1990 4 string MR1 on Bass Directs facebook page. Lovely. http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Wal_MKI_Fretted_1990.html

[/quote] So every bass you've ever played has been flawless? You're a lucky guy. On my bass playing past, I've played some dogs and some greats. The greats were outstanding which made the dogs seem even worse. I think that I'm doing a service to the bass playing community if I tell them about the dogs.

Done. Good luck.

Nice one, glad you enjoyed the gig. I'm just jealous as f**k. Never had the pleasure of seeing them live.

Deep Purple in Rock. The first live band I ever saw at the age of 14 and they blew me away. Just listened to it at work tonight and I still love it.

Deep Purple, In Rock. Thin Lizzy, Live and Dangerous. Black Sabbath Masters of Reality. Led Zep, PG and I'm another one who forgot Montrose. [size=4]The best music from my plooky youth.[/size]

I hope that you're going to post some sound clips when it's all done. Please.

All this clicking has given me RSI. [size=4] Good luck Paul, I hope it was worth it.[/size]

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1386716964' post='2303748'] There is something odd I was switching browsers an IP addresses to get the votes? oh well they all count regardless who did it [/quote] Agreed. I just went back and used the same browser and IP address and it let me have another vote. Something strange going on.

I got the 700th. Yeah. Just seen the post above, the totals don't match up. WFT? The counter showed I had 700 and 701. Are we losing votes because 2 of us clicked at the same time?

It looks lovely from behind but so did my ex-wife. [size=4] Nothing that can't be put right there. ( the bass I mean).[/size]

Just shows that bass building and drugs don't make good bedfellows.

I got banned for growing one on the first day of November by the OH. She hates me with a 'tash and promised to donate if I didn't grow one. £50 going to a good cause.

Great Vid. The EB2 sounded great followed by the P bass and then the Thunderbird. I love the old school sound and the EB2 had it in spades.

[quote name='maxlbrown' timestamp='1386367846' post='2299493'] SO basically your keeping just the body. Prob better selling it and buying a new one. Wd parts necks are nice and so are Allparts ones and little less than the Warmoth ones. but your still speaking of 150 quid or more. [/quote] Good call and welcome aboard. If your going to change it that much, try a second hand Mexican PJ and sell the Squier. Might cost you less.

Pix please. I wish I had 4 knobs. Well, I couldn't resist. [size=4] [/size]

The first live band I ever saw was Deep Purple at the Green's Playhouse in Glasgow in 1969 at the age of 14. Richie Blackmore trashed a Strat during "Wring That Neck". I was gob smacked and I thought it was great showmanship. After seeing them over the years, it was clear that he was changing to cheap guitars and looked so contrived. I bet Inti would have called him a clown.

Looking good.

Sorry I'm late to this welcome. Nice to see a legend on board. Whenever I want to see an honest review of bass gear, you're the man I trust. I hope you're going to be a regular contributor here.

I gave my '57 RI precision to a luthier in Macclesfield for a set up. He said it would take 2 weeks. It was over a year before I saw it again and he hadn't done a thing to it.

I thought today was 31st November, missed the vote by being stupid. Doh. Ah well, I'll try next, I mean, this month.
