If i've picked you up right. You love P bass so keep that one. You love the Limelight so keep that one However you have 5er Jazz for Dep work so makes sense to keep that. I'd sell the other Jazz bass. Having 3 basses that are workable isnt too bad IMO. Put them in cases and hide them under the bed if space is an issue. Dave

The fact he wont let you get it set up makes me suspicious. He has the chance of a sale here and if not the set up will make the bass more sellable. I'd be very wary of this one. I've had 2 Warwicks with no neck issues but i've heard about truss rod issues on some but dont know the details behind it. Dave

They are exact same as our guitarist had when he played bass in an Ozzy tribute few yrs ago. Pretty sure he swapped the necks over so the blue had the maple. He offered them to me for silly money just to move them on but i didnt fancy them at the time. Think i had just splashed out on a Mesa rig and a bit skint. He was from Glasgow area. Dave

Came across this and thought it was very nice. Both the bass and the playing were exceptional.

It kinda died a death in 2020. So you start a new list and we'll take it from there again. Dave

Jimmy Haslip bassist from Yellowjackets i think was the same. Amazing soloist too but not sure how he manages to do his slap style. Dave

Think every family had a Seekers album or single in the house 😀 My mother generally had popular songs from the radio. She did have an old Platters album which i just loved the harmonies. She was also a bit of an Elvis fan but most women probably liked Elvis back in 50's Dave

Combining my Beatles outfit with my Country & Western outfits. Just a trend setter back in the day. Wonder what went wrong 😁

I inherited all my Mothers older singles including Frank Ifield and Freddie too. 👍

That'll be the one i had back in 63/64. I even had the EP All My Loving for my birthday and still have it. I dont have the wig or guitar tho. Dave

I used to be in a Beatles tribute too. Had the wig but the outfit and guitar needed some work. It was actually a Beatles guitar. 😂😎

Just watched that and altho not look-a-likes the band looks good on stage to me. Enjoyed that and if up my way i'll make an effort to come see you. Dave

Any band that does Magnum material well is good enough for me to go to a gig. Not a huge fan of their modern material but loved the older albums. Is there anyone in Magnum that is particularly noticeable ? I met them once when i was helping them load into our local gig and all pretty normal looking. A bit aloof to be honest except for Mark Stanway on keys who was very chatty with us. It kinda put me off the band after that. That was early to mid 80's. I'd still go see a tribute to them. Dave

And what about the bass ? ..... 😂

Maybe it was the genuine article just looking for something a little easier than full on tours. 😂

Seriously great fun. Took a bit of practice walking on platform boots again. It's like having a 70's Glam Rock party night every time you play. Dave

If its good enough for Nick Beggs .............

I used to be like you Andy but i took the plunge and went for it. Best fun you'll ever have in a band.

I believe your current band is a tribute to rock Anthems. There's no specific look-a-likes in the band but the music is perfect and it looks like a good show to watch based on the youtube clips i've seen. Dave

Saw Cetera a few times in Dressed to Kill and it was like watching the real thing. Cetera being quite tall add the authentic Simmons boots and standing next to him you have quite a scary character. My wife had pics taken with the band but Cetera was the star attraction for me.

I saw a Genesis / Phil Collins tribute show at a bike rally in St Tropez few yrs back and they had a Phil look-a-like and a Peter Gabriel look-a-like. Both sounded very much like the originals. Rest of the band looked normal but the show was excellent. Gabriel look-a-like did come out with some of the costumes too. He didnt have the shaved front of his hair tho 😀 Dave

That is gorgeous. Like the neck on that. Is it a roasted maple ? Dave

Chin-strokers. 😀 Never heard that before. I like it and i'd probably be one. 😂 Dave

I'm in a 70's Glam Rock covers band and altho we dont try to be anyone or band in particular we do wear the wigs and the jackets are all authentic made by the very same guy that made outfits for Glitter Band, some Bowie outfits and some Sweet kit but he is known mainly for the Glitter Band outfits. We know him thru our drummer who played with Glitter Band in 90's era We are very focused on sounding like the original bands but the outfits are just part of the show and creates an element of fun as you can see in my avatar. When it comes to tribute bands i like the music to spot on. If a band can look like the originals i think it brings another element to the show. They dont need to be spitting image accurate but similar for me. But the music has to be good first. Dave
