[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1478221518' post='3167730'] Unless you're talking about the original Boroadcaster/Tele, Leo pinched it off Bigsby & just simplified it a bit: As far as different designs go, I like the old Yamaha SB/SG and their variations & derivatives. Elegant & functional, to my eyes - if I was designing a 4-inline I'd rip that off. [/quote] I didnt know that! - I thought Fenders' design was an original idea based on the treble clef.

If there was no Oasis, there would be no Beatles!

I audition for a band a few years back. I thought it went alright. It turned out I did not get it because although I was no better than the other guy, he could sing.

I prefer the later stuff from 1966 onwards. Macca's bass work really blossomed after that. I remember hearing 'Rain' for the first time, I had never heard the bass played so high up the neck, it was an epiphany for me.

His first album recorded live at Abbey Road (Before it was famous) features some great live warts and all British Rock N Roll. And he was only 18 years old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4-T7AJHge4

Well, I never knew that! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tod8tO9E9I8

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1478006088' post='3165896'] Again, issues with 'low post count newbies' allowed on the For Sale section [/quote] Newbies selling top boutique basses for four figure sums - with 0 posts on the forum always gets me to scroll through the for sale section with a sigh.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1478001497' post='3165834'] he did the work without consulting you first. You have no obligations [/quote] +1 Tell him to go take a running jump.

[list=1] [*]Was the buyer a well established basschatter, or a fly by night chancer newbie? In which case 'Caveat Emptor' [/list]

The song. Unless its built around a bass riff. Money, 7 Nation Army, Hey Bulldog etc.

Seems to have been corrected now. Still, I wouldn't bother, apparently it 'does need tuned'.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1477760721' post='3164371'] Got a YouTube link for that? [/quote] Aye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT3sxRK0XCU

I also slip The Beatles Day Tripper riff at the end of Alright Now. I pinched it from Joe Walsh who did the same thing on an Eagles DVD

How about a walking music tour? I,m going early next year and this is on my to do list. https://rockjunket.com/

We somehow manage to segue Smoke On The Water into Rappers Delight

[quote name='Davo-London' timestamp='1477475230' post='3162423'] You should know that the whole of Denmark Street is being renovated shop by shop, which is why Wunjo's is crammed into a basement. Should be great when it's all finished. Having said that space is a premium and I'm sure punters and assistants alike would much prefer more space. I find the Bass Gallery to be too cramped as well and the staff in my experience much less helpful than Wunjo's.

B. It happens quite a lot in my experience.

I saw him a few years back at the Ready Steady 60's show at the London Palladium. His son was playing bass. RIP

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1477045594' post='3159433'] BL = Band Leader [/quote] Like Joe Loss or Glenn Miller.

We have two guitarists. One is always tuning up. The other one rarely tunes up on stage, but breaks a string more often.

Lovely! Welcome to the exclusive Limelight owners club.

Would it it be worth getting one of those travel plugs to use on it?

Thats a beauty! I thought Limelight had stopped using the F decal on their basses?
