As much as i liked Bruce Foxton in The Jam i think Ali McMordie was the better player for me. His style suited SLP better.
Both great players tho.

200 mile trip home is a fair old jaunt. All credit to you on that one.
Dave
Great to see you are getting busy gigs there Mike.
I miss the punk band a lot and a lot more than i would ever have thought coming from a Classic rock and Prog. So much energy and power in the songs i just loved playing them especially SLF.
Shame it fell thru.
Dave
Really good band you had going there on the link.
Gorgeous bass. Love the tone from a Stingray.
Never owned one since trying the originals when they came out and necks were too wide for me but the Sterlings have a thinner nut width too i believe.

Any ideas where i could get a saddle screw for my MarloweDK. One of the locking screws is missing, possibly since buying it 2nd hand. Its never made any difference to playability.

Don't know off-hand what size the allen key is but this might help in set up. Its not so bad once you know what every screw does

Quite a change from a Ripper and Thunderbird.
I've got the VM4 and MarloweDK Jazz. The VM4 i'm just very comfortable with. Probably more than any other bass. Its reasonably lightweight with a gorgeous comfy neck. I always seem to get a decent sound from it altho i do miss that warm Fender depth of tone that the Sandbergs miss but not enough so that i would change anything on them. Once in a mix its not really that noticeable.
They are simply superb playable basses. I never seem to get hand cramp with my Bergs but using my Geddy Jazz or even a P bass i somehow get cramp on my fret hand.
