Have a listen to Mo Foster's solo albums, they are superb with some killer fretless work on them.

OK guys. Fun's over. Back on topic please

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1329069952' post='1536770'] John changed the pickups in my first JD no questions asked too. Unfortunately I hadn't asked him to and I preferred the originals! I sold it soon after. So what was MK's action like then John? And how heavy was the bass (it was walnut instead of mahogany)? [/quote] I sat with it on my knee. I didn't wear it as such, I can't remember much about the action, the bass weighed about the same as mine from memory, and I have no idea about the woods. I think John only built Mark one Starchild, but I may be wrong. I also played one of Entwhistles Buzzards at the Status factory one time, That had an action so low it was mad. Rob Green told me John liked them low and clanky

I had a JD Mark King back in the day, it was great. I have a lot of time for Mr Diggins. I had an issue with one of the pups, I phoned John up and went to the factory. He put me 2 new pups in it, no questions asked. When I was there he had Mark Kings Starchild JD in the workshop and let me have a tinkle on it, pure magic. Tony Iommi's JD guitar was in as well at the same time, also had a tinkle on that. I've always had serious GAS for a 6 string Mark King Starchild, now that would be something

Go your own way - Fleetwood Mac I love Rock and Roll - Joan Jett Dakota - Stereophonics Oh and I refuse to play All Right Now, ever again, piggin hate it

It's an incredible piece of music, one of my favorites. I never tire of listening to it.

I put a Gotoh on mine, think that's how you spell it, went straight on no messing

I saw them back in the day, they supported Judas Priest at Derby Assembly Rooms. I went out and bought their self titled debut album. Good album it was too, still got it. Only irritating bit was the singer said Thang-you-ta! at the end of every song, hope he don't still do it. Good band though, well done.

[quote name='Blademan_98' timestamp='1327696863' post='1515681'] Just to clarify, she thinks I should go for the bass BUT still wants the new sofa [/quote] That figures, I thought you were getting away with it lightly. Soz Mrs Blademan 98

At least the wife is bugging you to get the bass and not a new sofa!

One easy way to do it is just tell him you can't commit to it because of your other projects. If he bullies other musicians, they need to stand up for themselves really. Not your battle. You need to be carefull that it's not you that ends up being seen as the bad guy. If it was me, I just wouldn't get involved with him or his projects.
