	I have the blue one. It only cost £77 back in March. Played great out of the box with little or no tweaking.

	Had one of the first electric bass solos with Nivram IIRC. I had to learn Apache years ago for a wedding. There's a lot more going on in the bass department than I realised.
- 
	This old P Bass bitsa I made about 10 years ago from an old Squier MIK body and various bits and peices. The SPB1 Pickup gives it an old school thump that I love and cant get from newer more expensive basses.
- 
	Yes thats why I love Teles and Precisions too. Simple plug in and play guitars. Just two knobs to get a geat sound out of either.
- 
	I bought this Harley Benton Tele early in the year for £77. They really are excellent value for the money!
- 
	Good idea. A new set of strings and a little setup can work wonders, and breathe new life into your bass.
- 
	45 - 105 are the standard bass gauge. Your nut should be fine. Can I ask whats wrong with the factory fitted strings?
- 
	I just picked up one of these. A lot cheaper but great for the price.
- 
	Didnt know that! Thanks for the info.

	Didnt know Bruce played a fretless.

	Just stumbled across this video by this young whippersnapper about the piano used at Trident Studios in London during the 60's 70's and 80's. I would have never in a million years guessed that all these songs were recorded on this one piano!

	You want payment for these yet Ped??

	I havent used the support system, but I can make up a lot of old tosh about how great you all are. If I can have a free T shirt.

	I have a tweed gear 4 music Fender faker and Thoman black with white piping faker that came with my Limelight. You cant tell the difference fom a distance.

	My old band used to do Girl On The Phone and Heatwave from Setting Sons. GOTP was great fun to play with the B minor climbing to the D. I wish I had thought of it! There was another song from that era called Turning Japanese that was fun to play too, but I cant remember who did it.
- 
	Just stumbled upon this fella doing a bass cover of this Fleetwood Mac song. Made me appreciate John Mc Vie even more!
- 
	Anybody had any experience with Artist Guitars? They look a bit cheap to me. Like entry level Encores. Maybe they are another Harley Benton and might surprise me. However, everything seems to be sold out on the website. https://www.artistguitars.co.uk/collections/bass-guitars
- 
	Yes please. The basschat polo shirt I bought a few years back dont fit me anymore, so I need cheering up.
- 
	The Harley Benton range from Thomann are an excellent starting point.
- 
	Gerry McAvoy - Rory Gallagher, Live In Europe. He joined Nine Below Zero in later years. Good player.
- 
	This any good? Dont turn the volume up though!

	  Instruments you'd buy, but wouldn't...Hobbayne replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion The best relics I have seen are made by Nash and Limelight.
- 
	Not a bass, but I remember Eric Clapton struggling to play the solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps on a 1950's Gibson Byrdland. I think it was the Bangladesh concert. Such a big cumbersome guitar for the job instead of his usual Les Paul or Strat. Mind you, he was at least 3 inches off the ground at that gig!
