    Sorry

    Had a listen to Seinfield theme tune. Is that what you're talking about. I'd never watched the show before or heard the theme before. Dave

    Nope no idea. Afraid i'm still lost Bazzbass. Maybe its an age thing Dave
  5. dmccombe7
    Damn that's where i'm going wrong.

    What theme. You can't leave me hanging like that. Not at my age Dave

    Used to love playing along with this stuff all those years ago even tho i played in rock and prog bands these were more of a challenge as well as being such great songs. Lots of wee tricky bits in there but its more about groove and feel for this style of music. Been such a long time since i last heard this. Lovin it. Makes me want to go and plug in my bass. Thanks for posting Dave

    Not an expert by any means but i know some PJ's are fitted with Jazz necks. My Precision deluxe has a Jazz neck altho its not as thin front to back as my Geddy Jazz. Bassist with MacFloyd has changed his P bass pick ups too. Can't remember what he went for. Must be a Floyd thing to customise your bass

    Is that the passive Fender PJ ?

    Yep i would drop Chris or the guys an email or give them a call. They are extremely helpful. Find with my Overwater Contemporary J4 (not a Tanglewood version) i have the treble rolled back a little and bass boosted to somewhere between the centre point and full clockwise. Have you tried Youtube to see if there are any clips showing details ? Dave

    Did Geddy not play some of the vocal lines on his bass while he sang on the earlier Rush stuff. Talking way back in 70's i'm sure i heard him play along with the vocal lines on occasion. Might be wrong but sure some of the Geddy experts will comment soon tho.

    It was 45 yrs ago so think i'm safe now. Dave

    Having just joined a Glam Rock covers band i may have to do some of the backing vocals. I've not sang since my first band (1978) where i did lead vocals on Hold Your Head up by Argent and 2-4-6-8 Motorway. Pretty easy songs to play and from memory my vocals were ok. My music teacher at school said i had a good voice and wanted me to join her choir but it wasn't for me. Any or all help is now useful to me so this thread will give me some ideas. Cheers Dave

    I guess that's why Ampeg 810 cabs were and still are very popular amongst those with roadies or fit enough to lift

    Yep had a Marshall amp with one 412 angled cab atop a Hiwatt 412 straight cab back in early 80's. Was using an Aria SB1000 at the time. That was a fantastic tone. Wasn't a lot of choice back in 70's so 2nd hand amps were limited even in early 80's altho every future rock bassist wanted a Marshall stack. It was the done thing. Trendy Dave EDIT :- think my bottom cab might have been a Sound City rather than Hiwatt.

    Based on your Avatar pic Spector do the standard Fender styles too like the Coda range one i posted earlier in this thread. Similar Fenderish headstock altho its not shown in the pic i posted. I really do quite fancy one of the deluxe versions. Think i'm talking myself into it. Big birthday coming up soon so who knows
  18. dmccombe7
    I do however really love this particular bass and would love to try one to see if its better than the one i tried and if it sounds as good as it looks.
  19. dmccombe7
    Tried one in Bass Direct when i was down looking for a 5 string. Have to say i didn't like it and went for a Dingwall instead. The neck just felt very squarish (plank of wood description just comes to mind) Can't remember what model it was but probably around the £1k to £1.5k. Certainly not top of the range. Shame as they do make some beautiful looking basses. Dave

    £2000 insurance ? I would have thought any WAL would be worth more than that. Are you that far from Wal to drive there yourself ? That way you get to see the service being done hopefully and then try it out before you leave to make sure its all perfect. Make it a few days holiday or something like that if its too far to drive in a day. Dave

    Tiny holes behind some of the frets. Is it possible its been refretted at some point. Is it that kind of hole. What do you mean by a depression behind the A. ? Any chance of a close up of the body and neck holes you are talking about ? Dave
  22. dmccombe7
    Lot of amp for the money. GLWTS Dave
  23. dmccombe7
    Bass looks ok to me in the photo. If its a genuine American 74P bass i would have thought £1200 wasn't too bad. I'm no expert in them to be fair so i'll be curious to see what comes back on this thread. Like a nice maple neck You can pick up a decent case for not a lot anyways. Dave

    Suggest the revised version in A. Its a little faster but bass line is simpler IMO. I learned the Neil Murray version first and guitarist struggled with it and preferred this version. Lot easier and i can still ad-lib the tricky little bass runs that Neil used. Neil has admitted on BC that many of the runs were ad-libbed at the time and they were not always the same if that helps.
