I was going to join ArcticExplorersChat.com, but it kept freezing

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1340034228' post='1697975'] wow, that is really nice! You did a great paintjob, at least on the pictures it looks very good. [/quote] Cheers. There are some imperfections that don't show in the pics. The biggest bummer was that I was too impatient with the lacquer (I went for the Halfords lacquer). I left it for a few days, and it seemed dry enough, but when I screwed on the bits, the pressure squished the lacquer a bit. Not really noticeable unless you take the bits off. Overall I'm pretty happy with it for a first time job.

Sure It's a 78P which had been stripped before I got it (originally white). I wanted a funky colour that was faithful to the year of the bass, and Skank pointed out the International Series to me. Capri Orange it was: Before: After: As you can see, I put on an off white scratchplate to be in keeping with International Series. Since these pics were taken, the pickup cover now is a P one, after someone pointed out to me that the one on there was a J one It now also has black screws, as per the International Series. Oh, and black nylon strings, which is because it's conducive to the reggae sound I'm after, but also looks great on the bass.

I refinished my Precision in Capri Orange. Love it! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Despite playing a Precision, I like to think I'd be open minded, and would happily play some single cut (especially Ritter or ACG) and headless (Steinberger Cricket bat). These are my "would never own" basses (I'm sure they are great, but they offend me aesthetically): - Warwick Vampire - Fodera Anthony Jackson - Vigiers (except the Passion model)

Bugger - 5.30 is a no-can-do for me. I was really looking forward to seeing you too

Sorry I missed this - the Greyhound is a great venue. Hope it went well.

In terms of perceived volume, my 100w valve amp is easily as loud as my previous 350w ss amp. Both played through 2 x 10" speakers. Hope this helps.

For ALL musical instruments? Really? Must get my cowbell and kazoo done ASAP

[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1339523228' post='1689917'] What ????....no James Jamerson ???? Surely any list worth it's salt should have him at the top. [/quote] Each to their own. I think he's incredible, but others do it for me more

Hmmmmm, Andy Fraser John Paul Jones Jerry Jemmott Justin Meldal Johnson Aston Family Man Barrett Carol Kaye Chuck Rainey Horace Panter Gary Willis Donald Dunn With Francis Rocco Prestia and Robbie Shakespeare on the bench

Snap - I'm in a female-fronted reggae originals band. Maybe we should get our bands together for a reggae night sometime. One of my favourites: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xzk0WgyGfM[/media]

Doh! I thought you were being unhelpful and sarcastic because I didn't know the meaning. I stupidly didn't get that you were giving me the answer. Thanks/sorry Anyway - back to Download..

I can usually find the meaning of forum acronyms by googling them, so I'm guessing this isn't one of those. Still none the wiser, but thanks for the input Len.

What's NSS? I googled it but couldn't find anything relevant

Do you mean a bass that he played on the X Factor, or the Kubicki Ex Factor bass he once used? If you mean this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnHZ6LnEM-k It looks like a Peavey Cirrus If it's the Kubicki you're talking about, I've never played one but I'm sure chris2112 will be along shortly to fill you in - he's a big fan.

Gig#2 If you're heading to the Sounds on the Downs festival (free festival run by Nottingham University but open to all) this Wednesday, come and check us out on the main stage at 5pm

Cheers Pete, it's just speculation atm so I just wanted to ask here rather than phone. Measurements would be great, thanks. You must be bursting with excitement!
