[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1405598217' post='2503418'] *THE THREAD FROM THE DEAD* Happy days... I've just found out I'm playing with Mr. Knopfler again, at a gig to celebrate the millionth entrant into the Great North Run in September. This time it's going to be live on BBC2. Yay [/quote] woohoo! should be able to catch you on iplayer too then...sweeeeeeet

comes to us all but always takes us by surprise

yes they are great basses, more versatile than you'd think with just the one pup, I have 2 at the moment and have had several in the past too. The USA Fender's are a cut above the other Fender offerings (MIM particularly) and there are probably several for sale on here just now that would be awesome and significantly cheaper than a new one. Whereabouts are you matey, if you're near Sheffield you're welcome to pop by and try mine out...

John has once again proved his awesomeness, getting a loom in the post at th elast minute for me and it arriving the morning after, effortless! just superb, cheers again matey my '77 p will live again mwahahahahahaha

that looks superb! you've given me a few handy tips there as to how to sort out attaching my diago to my mini

Can I join the list too please?

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1405456075' post='2502134'] Cheers Andy. Always nice to meet a fellow BCer, looking forward to catching you guys when yore playing locally. [/quote] absolutely mate, nice to have 'normal' conversation for a change you'd be most welcome at any of our gigs 24th August Cross Scythes Woodseats (3pm) The rest are evenings... 31st August the Hop (Shef) 19th September the Cremorne (Shef) 24th Septembr the Green Room (Shef) 1st November Shakespeares (Shef) we kinda need some October gigs...mebbe Rotherham or Barnsley...? Anyway...back on topic!! I reckon I'd go for a '60 stack knob j in medium relic, shame he doesn't do sunburst so either oly white or black with a black scratchplate. I was proper impressed with marts'!!

[quote name='GUI101' timestamp='1405456070' post='2502133'] Hi Andy, The bass looks tres cool mate, glad your happy with it. I'll have the rack sorted soon so will post some pics of the cab all set up. Cheers Gui. [/quote] cheers buddy, she's a beaut, well, she will be Enjoy the ead, pics woulde be fab of course

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1405453557' post='2502098'] Nah, that's horrible, feel free to send it to me when it arrives and I'll, um, think of some way of disposing of it..... [/quote] marts' '63 j is a magnificent sounding, looking and feeling bass, I met it last night and was totally impressed! ...even if it had been way more expensive than it was!!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1405432022' post='2501838'] Good call Andy, the kiogon loom is easy to install - I managed so it has to be - and a good idea to keep the old stuff to the side just in case. [/quote] cheers bud, I've had kiogon loom's in a couple of basses now, the first time I did it I was somewhat nervy, the second time was a breeze though, this'll be my third (I think)...top quality piece of kit and such a simple upgrade but makes such a big difference

...and there's only so much life left in the frets too they're ok for now, nice n even but very low so with flats she'll feel kinda fretless

[quote name='rhythmbug' timestamp='1405430471' post='2501817'] Gotta come clean. I put £900 on this auction on the last minute, but the app on my phone froze so it didn't go through. You got lucky indeed matey [size=4]How does she sound?[/size] [/quote] very lucky she don't sound at all at the minute matey (except a horrible buzzing sound), needs new wiring and a new pup so when sorted (and inc shipping to me) will be around your bid anyway...she's so lovely and resonant (and lightweight) that I don't want to send her back, I want to fix 'er up and get her gigging again

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1405417815' post='2501668'] As a youth I lusted after a 2X15 Orange Reflex cab, but [i]alas[/i]. Or maybe [i]luckily[/i]... we'll never know. [/quote] oo nice oh ROOOOOAADDDDIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1405268089' post='2500281'] My thoughts exactly. I`d love one, but only if it were someone elses job to carry it. Actually, if that were the case, I`d have two! [/quote] precisely this!! mine'd have to be Orange though, I like them Orange things

so, I've stripped it right down, cleaned everything, put it back together and acoustically it just sings now, such resonance and everything feels amazing! I've decided to fix the electrics by replacing them and storing the original bits for future consideration as that'll get the most reliable gigging solution I've gone for a seymour duncan spb-1 pickup for now and there'll be a kiogon wiring loom on its way soon too so all will be happy under the hood

oo, awesome! just have fun being 'normal' with a legend matey

Mine will NEVER wear off on you. Its the real deal, thick, 3Dimentional, and beautiful to look at. [/quote] I've seen the pics of discreet's incoming guard and it looks trippy awesome!
