DR Fat Beams,( Marcus Miller sig strings)
miles'tone replied to bubinga5's topic in General Discussion
Totally agree. I put a set of Fatbeams on a 5 string Squier P bass and they blew me away. Even acoustically, they made me smile. The most responsive string I've used, and easy to play. Amazing B string too. -

The best bass playing you have ever heard.?
miles'tone replied to bubinga5's topic in General Discussion
Scott Thunes on various Zappa albums (Make A Jazz Noise Here, The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life..) Just killer P bass tone, exquisite note choices and phrases but always supportive of those around him. A brilliant musician who just happened to play bass. He could really pump a driving groove too: http://youtu.be/ly79mkffp7M -
Sold some Ultralites to Adolf in Romania in what was a very friendly, easy deal. Lovely chap to chat to on the PMs, wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again, either buying or selling. Thanks Adolf!

Here’s my Squier VM P5 neck. Selling because I've modded my way into a new bass pretty much (as you do) This neck is straight and true with the truss rod working as it should. I had Hipshot Ultralites on it and filled the original tuner screw holes, although it would be easy to fit original sized tuners again as they would cover the Hipshot holes . I also put a different string tree on which covered all 5 strings a la Lakland, but I found the bass sounded better with the Squier tree So I put the original back and filled the small holes. I did have the bass professionally set up when new which included having the frets levelled a bit and the nut slots dropped for ease of playing. The finish is very good and unmarked apart from what I mentioned. A lovely feeling and playing neck with no dead spots at all that is just sat here doing nothing. **EDIT** I'll also throw in the Squier engraved VM neck plate and the DR Fatbeams that were on it also (loads of life left in those too ☺). £65 posted to you. Thanks.

I've decided this is far too nice to give away too cheap, so withdrawn.

Yes, that's what bass I have actually! It sizes up perfectly, screwholes too. I was going to spray my Candy Apple Red VM P5 cream and put this tort guard on but never got around to it.

Great to hear! Always liked them, always good live. Lots of happy memories attached to Reef songs. -
[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1458382161' post='3007085'] The properties of Spitfire guards bear no resemblance to tort at all. [/quote] Hi Billy. Which properties do you mean? Are they not made out of celluloid or something? I ask as I was just thinking of placing an order. I bought a WD Music genuine celluloid tort guard for my P5 which I'm still umming about. The Spitfire stuff does look like the proper old tort. At least on photos. What does it look like 'in the flesh'? It is bloody pricey so it would have to be good. I remember your probs with him too, but it does seem like we're all over a barrel in a way as nobody else is coming close. It seems, via interweb photos that is.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1459088154' post='3013429'] Nylon tapes tend to be pretty fat. Status hotwire flats have a medium compliance feel, and sound great. Not a bad price either. [/quote] The D'addario tapes are regular gauge.
