    That's a beauty. Stunning.

    I tore the skin off of my bottom lip trying to cut a strip of gaffer tape from the roll. Bled like a good 'un for ages and hurt like hell.

    Martin Turner from Wishbone Ash came backstage for a chat after my old band played at the Shepherds Bush Empire. Lovely guy. Bob Geldolf and Johnny Fingers were in the crowd at the old Greyhound in Fulham Palace Road, in the '70's.

    Very impressive and a cool looking bass.
  5. Bassman Sam
    I'll give you a bump just for the interesting read.

    If this had come up for sale in March, I would have had it. My upcoming Thailand trip has claimed all available funds. Good luck with the sale.

    I say go for it, I reacon you'll have a laugh.

    The guitarist in a band I played in during the '70's had one of these. Great tone and easy to play and was a bit cheaper than the Les Paul he also had. I think you have a top axe there. Enjoy.

    I started out on piano at 8 years old and gave up then I was 14. At this time I started on DB in the school band and guitar. Moved to bass guitar at 15. During the '80's, I played synth for a few years then went back to bass. I still have an electro acoustic guitar that I noodle on now and again, RA allowing.

    Bob bought my P bass in the easiest deal I've had. Top fella and highly recommended.

    I sold my P bass on Sunday on this site, the money was in my bank account within 2 hours and I still had the bass. I had never had contact with the chap before but after a couple of PM's, the deal was done. I guess we trusted each other to do the right thing due to this site. And it works, try doing that on Ebay. Edited to say thanks to all the guys on here who PM'd about the reason I sold the bass, you don't know how much I appreciated that. Basschat Rocks.

    What, no Kent Armstrong hot vintage. Outrageous. They are first class.

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1323562610' post='1464649'] Good luck with the sale. Sorry you are having to do it, what a git, thought I recalled that the RA had improved for you in recent times. Best wishes. [/quote] Thanks for all the kind words guys. The improvement in the RA didn't last long and I am now having further complications with the meds I was on. Cheers Sam

    On Hold pending the usual.

    Not completely bass related but he did play bass for Jeff Beck and others, I found Ronnie Wood's bio was a good read.

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1323558984' post='1464627'] Really sorry to hear the RA has got the better of you Best of luck with the sale but a beauty like that shouldn't hang around for long [/quote] Thanks Clarky, it is a pisser but there's worse than me out there.

    OK, this is hard for me but the TIM has come to move this beauty on. The RA has won and I have to give up playing and this bass needs to make someone happy. It is the Mutts. I had a Fender '75 original back in the day ( one of the good ones) and this is just as good. It was put together by our own CD_David and body was refinish by luthier Dave Wilson, the man's a god. After having asked Dave's permission, here's the link that persuaded me to trade my '83 Fullerton '75 RI P bass for it. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/133661-gone-thanks/page__p__1213950__hl__cd_david__fromsearch__1#entry1213950"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1213950[/url] I hope that the link works. The first picture on the stand is how it looks now. Dave has told my that the body is from a '90's Japanese Fender Precision and the finish on it is the best I have ever seen, I kid ye not. It is still in the pristine condition that I got it in and I will throw in a Hiscox hardcase and a Zoom 607, that's what I used for home practice when the RA let me play. Pick up preferred from Winsford, Cheshire or will deliver if not too far, NW area. I work for a courier company so UK ONLY delivery can be be got at, I hope, a reasonable rate. I'm looking for £550 firm for this and no trades thanks as you will understand.

    I'm afraid it's time for me to pack up playing also. The RA means that any time spent on bass brings on the pain too much. If I play for 10 minutes then I suffer for 3 or 4 days after. I've tried to kid myself on that I can still cut the mustard but it's plain now that I can't. Time to sell up I think. I feel sorry for the others on this thread going through bad times but I know how you feel. Playing bass has been part of my life for over 40 years and I know when I stop, I'll still get GAS, dammit.
  20. Bassman Sam
    Great stuff Tim and yes, an interesting character.

    I saw K.C. live for the1st time in 1970, just after Greg Lake left and had been replaced by Boz Burrell. Both these players had a huge influence on me and Robert Fripp is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Why diss someone because you don't get them. It's not big and not clever. BTW, I also like the Quo so I am definitely not a musical sob.

    [quote name='daz' timestamp='1322615964' post='1453684'] ArGHHH why why why, rending of garments, gnashing of teeth etc ? Damn its not going on BBCi player apparently, Please tell me did anyone get a copy of it that they can convert and bung up somewhere ? [/quote] Can I have a copy too. I would love to see this, I used to use Vox gear when I started out.
  23. Bassman Sam
    I drive a Ford Fiesta and it does the job I need of it. I wish it was a Ferrari but I doubt I could handle one. I don't think a high end bass is that much different. It wont make me a better player but would satisfy my GAS.
  24. Bassman Sam
    I'm glad that you have come to this conclusion. I have used fingers, picks and even a bow on a P bass because I have been asked to. If the song calls for it, use it. It's just another tool in the box. I was better at some styles than others but it all adds to your tonal pallet.
  25. Bassman Sam
    For me, this. I once spent £180 on a rack mountable Boss digital delay unit just to play this track at home. How sad is that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTrNQCYh70Y
