  1. London? Harrogate not Haringey. I'm poor and northern! And i really have no idea of price.
  2. I have tried but failed to sell this bass in on here in the past. Story goes it was purchased in about '98. Had a USA custom shop neck on it but after searching advice on it have been told by some Fender loving cats that it looks like a Mexican body. The U.S neck is no longer with us (rock n roll accident). Now has a big thick cheap neck on it. Crack on the back (looks surface/paint etc only but not sure). Electrics could do with a re-solder. But on the plus side i seem to remember it having a very beefy sound (hey it hasn't been played in 4 years), it looks sexy and i wrote some of my greatest hits on it! so if you fancy tarting up a precision bass then let me know. Pick up form the H'gate so throw me some offers and i may decide..oops edit - in your favour
  3. Don't laugh, dose anybody own this album (and willing to admit it)? I need to down load the songs that Mike Watt plays on as part of my virtual voodoo transformation into the man. So please have a rummage through you wives/girlfriends/daughters/boyfriends/dance teachers CD collection and read the sleeve notes for me. As far as I know he didn't play on all tracks on the album. I actually think she is quite good. :blush: Regards

Surely thats a bit naughty![/quote] i suppose fender would only have a beef if they where trying to copy fender. the fact that its some cheap ply wood piece of trash that dosent come close to looking like a fender means there not really copying. it wont affect fender, therefore they wont other. Im my year in 'fashion' that is how companies look at things, but it may be different in bass world.
  5. there's no justice like angry mob justice.
  6. [quote name='MythSte' post='339158' date='Nov 28 2008, 03:48 AM']No one else noticed this? Genious! haha. We get paid a few hundred every gig now. Keeps our studio going. Investment innit. Id be scared to have to make a living off it without label backing though.[/quote] i've just been enjoying your band on mespace. read it, thought "i'm not going to enjoy this" but i did.

  8. [quote name='steve-soar' post='337928' date='Nov 27 2008, 12:28 AM']Refer to the OP. The Guy was talking about earning a crust 'Playing'..pure PLAYING! Why do you shout so much? The world makes me feel ARGH! nearly every day, so try a little tenderness.[/quote] LOL yes i seem to have opened a can of Negi-worms here! p.s. to most of you - i never mentioned i wanted to become pro, only wish to be enchanted by tales of pro bass. I enjoy my new pj's too much and as for not having any money, forget about it I spent mny years living in a van with 5 other sweaty man back in my 'punk' days. VIVA LA BASS PLAYING!
  9. so i've had a really bad day at work today so i was hoping to get home crank up my bass and trash out some rocking lines, however headache and a case of the can't be ar$£ds stopped me. Anyhoo got me thinking how cool it would be if i had to stuck to my youthful ideas and become a pro player. So how many bass chatters play bass for a living? i will accept musician in band, teacher, bass tech, session player maybe even bass/amp maker etc. And i mean as there full time job, not weekend warriors or function "top up me wages' players. come on some one amaze me with your cool bass job please.

  11. All the songs are the same, all the videos are the same, an old man i school uniform is just wrong, but that highly original rock n roll rtrian song is DOUBLE WICKED! I just wish it was the 70's.
