I asked to have a go and the staff politely declined, purely for the reason they didn't think the bantamweight adolescent such as I was would be able to pick it up! [/quote] That's funny - I've read that it was so heavy that Pete could only use it for a couple of songs ! John

Hi and welcome John

Received the new THUNDER CD Wonder Days a few days and I must say it's a real return to form from the band, terrific songs, great playing and singing, couple of live videos below of some the new songs on the CD.

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1423913839' post='2690284'] I thought I might get away with that, but here is a quick pic taken before going through the setup. It didn't much, slight tweak on the trussrod, pickups raised a gnats and a turn or two on the saddles to set the intonation. I'm planning on using it at tonight's gig (The Wheatsheaf in Didcot is anyone's local and at a loose end this evening).

Awesome looking bass, congrats John

Much too young, RIP Steve Strange.

The album that got me into music - MOTT by Mott The Hoople, amazing record and still love it John

[quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1423413584' post='2684492'] Can anyone share their experiences of the 75 Jazz copy? Incredibly tempting at that price. I had a J&D for a little while which was ace, but I'm sort of sold on the ash body on the natural model, and having Wilko pickups in there is reassuring. [/quote] I've copied and pasted this below from what I posted last November, had the bass for just over a year and I'm still loving it, it's a great bass for the money John [quote][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've had my HB bass ( [/font][/color][url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb1975_na.htm"]http://www.thomann.d..._hbb1975_na.htm[/url][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] ) since January this year and it's a great bass for the money, excellent pups, plays nice, nice tone variations using the tone and volume controls, stays in tune, looks great, build quality is very good, the only negative on mine was that the fret edges were a tiny bit sharp in places, the bass is quite heavy though [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]John [/font][/color][/quote]

Very sad news

That is an awesome looking bass, congrats John
