  1. Well done Mick, I plan on being there and looking forward to seeing you all again.
  2. It's still available.
  3. Dingwall Super PJ has satisfied my modern bass desires.
  4. [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1428832313' post='2744889'] Still here? What's gong on? If I had the room for this I'd snap it up in a heartbeat, such great value. GLWTS [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428834225' post='2744939'] It really is. IMHO it's the best non-white bass on here. [/quote] A thank you gents, type bump.
  5. another weekend, another bump.
  6. [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1428844951' post='2745132'] Lovely. If you had to choose one?! [/quote] For gigging, the white G&L, hands down. For a contented and pleasurable sigh every time I open the case, it has to be the 66. It just looks, smells and sounds so right
  7. My first P style bass was purchased when I got back in to playing around 89/90 This Yamaha BB1200. It was my main gigging instrument for a good few years. sold on BC [url="https://flic.kr/p/s5JDQW"][/url] My next one was this Fender Deluxe, purchased new from the Bass Centre in Wapping. Still have this one. [url="https://flic.kr/p/s5JG4U"][/url] I have had quite a few others, some still with me, some moved on. 75 [url="https://flic.kr/p/r8SrNL"][/url] 66 [url="https://flic.kr/p/rNhdmU"][/url] 74 [url="https://flic.kr/p/s5Pt3H"][/url] 86 G&L SB1 [url="https://flic.kr/p/qN1Ngx"][/url] Squier [url="https://flic.kr/p/oJhYda"][/url] Dingwall Super P [url="https://flic.kr/p/nz8PAD"][/url] Home build. [url="https://flic.kr/p/fk9MrP"][/url] 87 G&L SB1 [url="https://flic.kr/p/ahrY8o"][/url] Safe to say I like a P bass
  8. I had a full on migraine mid gig a while back, a truly horrid experience, with visual disturbance/blind spots and seriously painful headache. Standing next to the drums was truly torturous.
  9. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1428837464' post='2744997'] I threw up on the audience a few years ago. I'm not proud. [/quote] You need to tell us more Raslee, well done for doing the gig. I got hit with the norovirus a few weeks back, certainly wouldn't have wanted to be out gigging. Well maybe with a wireless receiver, so that I could have played from a seated position in the toilet
  10. Hi Alex. Although you have posted in the right area of the forum for tutors, you may get a quicker response and certainly get seen by more chatters, if you also post in General Discussion. Hope you get sorted.
  11. There always seems to be Devon bands looking for bass players on Lemon Rock, might be worth checking it out, if you haven't already
  12. [quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1428692679' post='2743916'] Lovely! [/quote] Thanks It's being gigged tonight.
  13. A lovely and varied collection Mr Wailer
  14. [quote name='cetera' timestamp='1428612211' post='2743137'] Stunner! Sadly I'm buyng a car at the moment so my Spector collecting has to take a back seat.... [/quote] Thanks Gary. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1428660753' post='2743467'] Woe this is the only bass in ages to peak my interest but am skint again lol GLWTS Gary mate [/quote] Sorry to hear that you're skint Mr Thunderbird.
  15. Some seriously nice grain there.
  16. [quote name='Aero71' timestamp='1428338322' post='2740382'] Awesome bass...I have the same in natural finish. Whoever buys this, is a happy fellow. GLWTS! [/quote] Thanks Aero71. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428443872' post='2741411'] This is a truly fantastic bass which I would be buying like a shot were I not already embroiled with two other basses! It's an absolute pleasure to play and sounds incredible. And it's like new, too. [/quote] Thanks Mark. I do agree with you, it is a fantastic bass and like you, I found myself staying up late just to play it. I also found myself playing in a pleasingly inventive fashion, weird I'm guessing it will be a bass that I will want back, if it goes. [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1428444862' post='2741422'] Absolutely gorgeous, wish I had the cash id love a spector 4 [/quote] Save up some dosh and treat yourself when you can afford to, I'm sure you wont regret it.
  17. Just been for another look. It's not a 71 neck, infact I'd be surprised if it is a Fender neck at all. Control knobs are not right. I suspect the body is not Fender. Scamming git. Hopefully no one will fall for it.
  18. Yeah it's a wrong 'un
  19. Just on looks alone I love it. If my little Fender Rumble dies, I will certainly check one of these out.
  20. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428344780' post='2740449'] Off-topic briefly, I enjoyed playing your 66 P Gary... ooh, yeah. [/quote] Thanks Mark. Do you know just opening the case on that one is a pleasurable experience
  21. I don't gig my more valuable vintage instruments, not because of concerns about reliability but purely through fear of theft and/or drunken punters causing damage. My main gigging basses are G&L's from the 80's. Over the last couple of years I've enjoyed rehearsing with a 60's and a couple of 70 P basses, with no issues.
