[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1331121448' post='1567897'] In terms of adding weight, is it not best to do that to the strap rather than the bass - with some skill, it would be possible to [i]sew the additional weights into the strap[/i]. [/quote] what are you some sort of bass playing race horse!!

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1331119122' post='1567838'] So Shuker would make the list, along with similar ilk? I agree. [/quote] apologies to OP didnt mean to hijack the original thread - might go start another one on this subject

for shame no status ! on a more serious semantic note though , you say 893 'brands' - just wondering how many other basschatters would include luthiers as brands? i dont doubt they should all be included somehow but my general idea of brand would be Status, Wal, Vox, Shergold, Hayman etc. We have some great luthiers in this country but i would speculate as to how many luthiers would self identify as a brand? as usual there are exceptions and one springs to mind - the late mr tony zemaitis - is arguable that he as an individual was a brand, long before his son set up the japanese zemaitis custom shop

[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1330711532' post='1562103'] Looks good (the furniture as well as the redhead) but ... most equipment that you could want to put on the shelf bit will have festoons of cabling, and I could imagine the weight of it being too much for the hinges [/quote] adapt and improvise

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1330690185' post='1561604'] Sounds like a sound plan.... hang on.... [/quote] ah go on go on go on go on i got nothing against pink guitars honest! i used to play one of these little badboys

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1330685359' post='1561451'] Guitar shops frighten me to death. I'm sure if I go in some hotshot salesman will rush out and bully me into buying something I don't want. This is irrational, as whenever I have ventured into a guitar shop, I've found it hard to get anyone to sell me something I do want, or take any notice of me at all. [/quote] that because all the hotsh1t salesmen are only interested in telling you about their own gear (yes its in their bedroom and the shop showroom but its not for sale!!?? WTF) and showing off their own chops a decent salesman will guage what is suitable and offer you sensible suggestions

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1330686001' post='1561478'] Pink basses look weird, i would totally refin that [/quote] just give it to me i can do you a straight swap swap for a blue/white J

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1330685766' post='1561465'] Genius!! Although drunkenly bringing a bird home could be interesting, oi! Get your foot off of my computer! [/quote] just make sure you keep the headless status in its gig bag - wouldnt want any unfortunate 'accident's (did i just say that out loud?)

bunk beds and turn the lower one into a desk?

hello there - 36 years here and still totally crap gig at the JC ! sounds awesome! good luck

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1330679118' post='1561306'] Are you mad?? This forum is leagues ahead of TB. Unless of course you're trying for #1 of the [i]"What colour scratchplate should I put on my mega-rare possibly factory refinned bass that some numbnuts hate me for legitimately owning"[/i] club??? [/quote] indeed i still think the auction option would be great just imagine... half of talkbass will slash their wrists that they cant afford it while the other half will sell their granny to raise the dough to try and secure it for their bedroom collection

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1330676484' post='1561251'] I think it was because your quote was not in quotes. Took me a few seconds to realise too. There are some idiots around, quite sickening isn't it. Congratulations on your find! It is quite amazing! This could have ended up as a cheap present for someone who doesn't appreciate it or know what they have. It's a beautiful looking Jazz and whatever you do, sell it and get what you really want, or keep it and cherish it, feel good about it [/quote] this thread is getting me confused but then again i am old and easily confusible i never bothered looking at the factory youtube clip before - some of the skill on there is just amazing im stripping the lacquer from my blue squier ready to spray it baby pink - thank goodness i already have the antique white scatch plate
