  1. Good man, chuffed for you.
  2. Bumping again for this seriously cool, vintage Leo Fender instrument
  3. [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1422640349' post='2675095'] She doesn't mind me having so many guitars and basses, as she likes the look of them hanging on the walls, and sitting on their stands in the corners of the house. I think I will take her out for a meal this weekend! [/quote] Good plan [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1422640773' post='2675103'] Yeah, result. And about time too. [/quote] Yes and looks like it's going to a good home. Well this is the end of a chapter. It has hung around for a while on here but I'm still enjoying ownership until thebrig collects it. So farewell to this thread. Lock down is imminent.
  4. pm replied to. So pleased it is going to a Bass Chatter Thank you for the congrats Mr Discreet. I raise my cyber champagne glass and offer a toast to Mrs Thebrig
  5. Free entry. 9 p.m. start. The lovely DefunkT girls. [url="https://flic.kr/p/grKxBB"][/url]
  6. My 66 P. [url="https://flic.kr/p/fyTvi4"][/url] My 75 P [url="https://flic.kr/p/agn4Lo"][/url] Home built P 50's style [url="https://flic.kr/p/bzTPz1"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/bzTPz1"]complete2[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/people/66801359@N07/"]gem5819[/url], on Flickr
  7. Welcome back. I have been using a Fender Rumble practice amp for the last few years and have found it to be very reliable. It also does have the phone socket and cd in sockets that you require. There are more sophisticated amps out there but it does what I need. Not got much experience of headphones, sorry.
  8. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1422522801' post='2673584'] Then - in '73 I went up to that London to buy a Ricky - but every one I tried was horrible to play! I ended up with a beautiful Blonde Italian My first real nice bass [/quote] That is one tasty Italian job John.
  9. The last bump of January. [url="https://flic.kr/p/agn4VU"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/h1NUN8"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/h1P7Ep"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/h1Psjz"][/url]
  10. I've yet to play one of these. I imagine it will certainly be heard and felt with those pups. Look forward to your thoughts after the gig.
  11. The volume knob on my G&L SB1 does most certainly affect the sound, other than the obvious volume increase/decrease. Like Highfox's example of the Fralins, the G&L Magnetic Field Design pups are super hot.
  12. Well done, you've passed an audition. Ok it wasn't for you but great for experience and morale.
  13. Too far for me ole chap. Hope it's a good one though. Once you hit that first note, the nerves will be gone. So long as you hit the right note of course
  14. No worries mate. Good luck with your sale.
  15. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1422522277' post='2673579'] Heart of Glass is easy. The main hook drops the last note of the melody in a couple of places which results in a bar of 3/4 each time. Since everything follows the melody it's simply a question of learning which times the beat is dropped. [/quote] Big Red I wasn't saying it wasn't easy, just responding to the OP about deceptively simple.
  16. We recently added Heart of Glass by Blondie and had to run it a few times to get the timing right on the middle section. Infact at one gig it all went a bit pear shaped (I wasn't the guilty party on that occasion). Also the final section of Bubbles by Biffy Clyro caused some puzzlement.
  17. Thank you chaps. [quote name='WhiteNGold' timestamp='1422490393' post='2673469'] Any trades? [/quote] Sorry I should have stated in my ad, no trades.
