  1. Any news Linus? Is nearly August now. πŸ€”
  2. Cheers Reggaebass. I will have to remove the neck to get to the adjuster, but will give it a go.
  3. Hmm. Do I need to loosen it or tighten it?? πŸ€”
  4. You go to the Rotosound website and look to see who endorses them, and post it on here. πŸ˜‚
  5. Has he been Knighted? I must have missed that!
  6. The action above the 7th fret on my P Bass has increased rapidly over the passed few weeks. It still seems OK on the lower part of the neck. Will lowering the action help? Or is this a truss rod tweak?
  7. They did a good job recreating the bloodstains! πŸ˜‹
  8. Then you maybe interested in paying Β£350 for this brick. And its damaged!! πŸ˜‚ https://shop.abbeyroad.com/*/*/Original-Abbey-Road-Studio-Two-Brick/666L0000000?utm_campaign=AbbeyRoadFansAdditionalLecturesEmailsBrickEmail240719&utm_content=UMGUK13870-651294&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Email
  9. I was told many years ago that I looked like Bobby Gee from Bucks Fizz. 😒
  10. I had a guy buy a bass from me, but he wanted to collect it early Sunday morning. He came about 9am because he wanted to get it home before his wife woke up! πŸ˜‚
  11. I have been sacked from several bands in my lifetime but it never really bothered me. the first sacking (circa 1988) when I was 24, was from a band who's lead singer/guitarist thought he was Paul Weller. We were playing the Mean Fiddler in Harlesden when I turned up in a Fleetwood Mac 'Tango In The Night' T shirt. (That album had only just recently came out IIRC) He said that was not the image they were trying to convey. πŸ˜‚ The second sacking was from a function band who wanted to play Sunday lunchtime gigs as well as the regular gigs. I couldn't do it as I worked shifts, and had to jiggle things around so as I could do the main gigs, but could not guarantee I could be free on Sundays too. It was quite amicable and I used to get the occasional phone call asking if I could dep when they where stuck.
  12. Interesting to hear how Macca completely misses the B at 11.49 in Oh Darling. πŸ˜‹
  13. The Whole Album on bass only. Macca heaven. (Apart from Maxwell that was George) πŸ˜‹ πŸ‘
  14. I’m off to Florence in a couple of weeks πŸ‘
  15. I was going to give the neck on my Limelight a tweak as the action has increased quite a bit up the neck. But because its based on a 1963 Precision the neck has to be removed before it can be adjusted. I think I,ll leave it in case I muck it up.
  16. My bass guitar heaven πŸ˜‹
  17. I still have my old Tascam Porta 07 from 1994. The one with the coloured knobs that look like boiled sweets. πŸ˜‹
  18. As said above, It probably needs no more than a professional setup. Those 2x2 bridge saddles can be rather tricky to intonate both strings accurately.
  19. Need to shove a couple of blue plectrums in the pickguard for full effect! πŸ˜‹
  20. At least he has found away to fix the strap pins to it!! πŸ‘
  21. Herbie Flowers. That Jazz bass with the black nylons on 'Walk On The Wild Side' does it for me. I love the way he jumps about the high and low register with those little fills.
