  1. A combo has the amplifier and speaker built in together in one unit. The MB 15 is a combo. Valve amps are expensive and heavy, but have a much warmer sound than transister amps like the mb15. Gain is another word for volume.
  2. Open to offers Fender gig bag can be included for a tenner!
  3. [quote name='iconic' timestamp='1326011307' post='1490872'] Interesting......vm..as in Vintage Modified or is this another seperate Squier model? Nice looking tool [/quote] No its a Vintage Modified Jazz. With the Duncan Designed pickups. I googled Squier serial numbers and this is a ten year old model from Indonesia. I didnt know they made them them that far back! Ex condition too! Make me an offer, yu never know!!
  4. The Who were from round here and played at the Railway Hotel just up the road from me.
  5. Greenford is west London in case your wondering, about half way between Ealing and harrow. Edit- I have since put a tug bar under the g string for authentic lookalike ness since the pics were taken
  6. Any one want to give me [s]£180 [/s]- £160 for this nice VM Jazz? Its a 2002 Model made in Indonesia. Recently strung with flats and fully setup by Peter Cooks guitar tech. Collection only I,m afraid from Greenford in Middlesex as I havent got a box for it. Dirty old trainers not included
  7. Sounds great! Post on here when you get your first gig, Dont know where you are in Bucks, but Denham is only 15 mins up the A 40 from here. I,ve been rehearsing with a new band since October and have currently got 13 songs in the bag and a singer audtioning on monday. Toss up to use the Precision or the Stingray for me!
  8. I assume its a powerful picked bass on bright rounds a la Bruce Foxton, JJ Burnel or Phil Lynott. My personal syle of bass playing to be honest!
  9. I dont know if i,m gigging on the saturday, if i am, then will be along on the sunday.
  10. The Jam - Precious, although its a Pigbag ripoff from Weller.

    No smileys?

    Where are the smileys gone when posting on my iPad? Or am I doing something wrong here?
  12. I use my right thumb to anchor, usually on the pickup, and the index and middle fingers to pluck the strings. The other two fingers I just let hang loose or tuck them into my palm. I'm afraid I'm not very disciplined with right hand technique
  13. I dont see why not? I play all rock numbers with a pick, it gives you more volume. I still play fingerstyle for ballads, reggae etc.
  14. How much you reckon it weighs? I had a 77 P bass that tipped the scales at 10lbs.
  15. Wasnt Bootsy Collins James Brown's bassist?. On such great songs like "I Feel Good" and "Sex Machine"?
  16. What a cracking tune this is. First time I have heard this song, I have to get it down ready for next weeks rehearsal. We do it in 'A' same key as the original, but I cant seem to fathom out the bass part in the verses. I,m just holding down the A, but I,m sure Phil does something a bit more than that. Anyone play it?
