Mark Percy !

This came up on the same page. Looks a bit fishy to me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fender-precision/161698017655?_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D31102%26meid%3D40eee02bf0414943ac6e3629cb291e0b%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D20%26rkt%3D24%26sd%3D131509716878

Was just having the conversation this morning about someone working for Hermes being paid 50p per package delivered. No wonder they're in a rush.

Saw them a couple of years ago could agree more with the op. Have covered a few of their songs over the years great bass parts.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1431104950' post='2767888'] Absolutely. When I tell people one of my favourite basslines of all time is from [i]Dancing Queen[/i], I get funny looks. But it's a lesson in pop brilliance and is very difficult to play well, though it sounds simple. If anyone reading this is in doubt, go and listen to it properly. RIP. [/quote] Or indeed try and learn it. Great bass player. One of my favourites

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1430661866' post='2763482'] Just fitted a S1 switch to my geddy lee jazz. Like the sound, but the button is a pain in the arse - seems to stick and more importantly, while it is half way between on and off it makes no sound! Its not the switch, it is the stupid plastic button thing that doesn't work well. I think time to get some sandpaper out! [/quote] I had this problem with my fender s1 switch. I rubbed a bit of WD40 on the plastic bits. Its been fineever since.

[quote name='karlplaysbass' timestamp='1429707686' post='2754136'] cheers man that come in handy [/quote] [attachment=190351:The-Chicken-Intro.pdf]

Im trying to nail the soul intro version of this and even with the score its a real mare. I dont really struggle with the head just the intro. Happy to send the tab that i have or post a scan on here if it helps.

I've been gassing for a music man or a ray34 for a while now. Tried a stingray years ago and really liked it. Daren't try a ray as I have no money. However I'm intrigued now buthe sire Marcus Miller 5 string. Oh dear

No but this is good

Wire brush and dettol. Failing that servisol is good but as mentioned above chances are it my be best to replace the offending pots. Cheap and easy if you can solder. Oh and make sure you go first with the wire brush.

Very cool Thanks for sharing

Michael Nyman Philip Glass?

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1427578847' post='2732024'] Reallt enjoyed that. Never really given them enough of my time. What's the best place to start? [/quote] This is good:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Livestock-Brand-x/dp/B000025JS1

I remember back in the days when one swapped the flares for skinny jeans and dms, hid all the Yes albums and started listening to the Clash, going to a local gig featuring the slits, probably in 1977. A long haired 15 year old guitarist Frampton/Hendrix/ Kossoff wannabe mate of mine, who hadn't quite caught up,stood in the middle of the joyous pogoing,gobbing mayhem, made the devils horn sign thingy and yelled "Sabbath". My initial though was should I smack him in the mouth ? It may save his life, but I think we got away with it anyway. Happy days

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1427127815' post='2726126'] But that's the whole point! It's not a Fender. It's something that fixes all the things that are wrong for me on the original. [/quote] What are those then ?

All of the above. Thanks

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1427212405' post='2727279'] I've been here since May 2007 and on bassworld before that for about 2 years and I've always been uninteresting and worthless. [/quote] About the same time for me and I fit that description too. In fact in the real world whether playing bass or all the non important stuff like work marriage and parenthood I can only aspire towards being adequate.

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1427182141' post='2726718'] What!!! You mean all these years I've been...? Right! That's It! I'm off! And don't try to tempt me back! If anybody wants me I'll be in my trailer not taking any calls! *Flouncity flouncity flounce* ([i]noises of stomping, harrumphing, tutting, etc. followed by brief pause[/i])... I'm going out for a short walk now. I may be some time... ([i]sound of failed attempt to slam a non-slam door followed by continued but rapidly receding sounds of stomping feet and further harrumphing, tutting, etc.[/i]) [/quote] Is this the part where you storm over to the door, open it realise it's a cupboard close it and then flounce out of the other one ?

[quote name='Maude' timestamp='1427137143' post='2726308'] I like to cut the scone in half, then spread jam before cream on one half and cream before jam on the other, people just can't cope with that. [/quote] Burn the witch!

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1427139645' post='2726364'] Little vid of the standing ovation we got at the end of our Dundee gig. So proud [url="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=823494034385240&set=vb.354714764596505&type=2&theater"]https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=823494034385240&set=vb.354714764596505&type=2&theater[/url] [/quote] Having had a quick gander at the vids on your website justifiably so. Cracking stuff. What a great gig you have there.

I never understood that whenever we moved house my parent used to fill tea chests with books and stuff then complain hthat they were really heavy

Well i thought it was quite good and It's funnier than the Rickenbacker thread
