I have a USA Standard P Bass which is mint as I bought it brand new and am very careful with it on the rare occasions it gets gigged. OTOH I also bought a Nate Mendel which is also brand new but has some relicing on it, which I am not so careful with. Go figure.

The Hotel California is closed tonight. RIP

I once dreamed I had a gig and the car broke down and I was panicking I would be late. I tried to get a taxi but coudnt. Tried to a get a train but there where no trains. I even tried to call my bandmates to tell them I was going to be late but I couldnt get through. No matter what I tried, obstacles were put in front of me to prevent me from getting there. Bizarre.

I took a couple of my basses into a local shop for a minor set up and to have the nut re-cut, and was talking to the guy behind the counter about one of the basses that I was thinking of selling and he offered to sell it for me. Apart from the obvious commission for the shop what are the pros and cons of doing this?

I love the Precision for its plug n play simpleness. I cant be bothered with fancy basses and multiple knobs that do little or nowt. I too have the Nate Mendel which I have left alone. I like the Q P pickups, the hotter sound suits some songs. I have 3 P basses actually.

I was never really interested in all that prog stuff, King Crimson, Yes etc. I only really listened to Genesis after Phil Collins took over. I know, I,m shallow.

Sound And Vision. I love the long intro before the vocals finally kick in. Also The Man Who Sold The World. Nirvana did a good cover of that.

I,m losing all my childhood heroes. RIP

I believe it is. I have no reason to doubt it.

What is the name of the guy playing the Jaguar?

Before the iron curtain fell, the eastern bloc countries had to make their own ' Western Copies' This offering looks like something from our favourite guitar improvers workshop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDn5DXX_1Tg

[quote name='Behlmene' timestamp='1452110501' post='2946597'] Literally the quote is: "I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope [b][i]we've passed[/i][/b] the audition." I took the liberty of doctoring the tense as the line was spoken [i][b]after[/b][/i] an audition (actually a free roof top concert). [/quote] That quote doesnt make sense if you think about it.

There was a pic on here recently of him with sticky labels on his frets to show him were the notes where. Good enough for him, good enough for me.

3 Precisions, A US Standard, A Nate Mendel and an old Modified Korean Squire. I also have an Epiphone Thunderbird Pro VI which I bought on a whim but dont like it. I gig The Nate Mendel and the Squire most. I,m thinking about getting a SUB Ray in black and Maple and moving on the T Bird.

I suppose Town Called Malice by The Jam or Chic's Good Times must be up there.

yes, I suppose Jack White does look like Edward Scissorhands now you come to mention it!

IBTL. Oh how how miss reading about his 7 string guitars for builders or plumbers with large hands.

Good channel, but there are so many adverts, and they go on for ever.
