[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1407048020' post='2516828'] Hang 'em high! Just make sure you fit the Hercules clamps to a solid wall, use longer screws and heavy duty wall plugs. Fit and forget! [url="http://s144.photobucket.com/user/xt660/media/761198e9.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] I always enjoy looking at your wall Fran.

They are rather good lookers.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1406628759' post='2513108'] Well... you know what I think about it - a mint or parchment guard would suit LPB much better. In my very humble opinion, of course. Also, it reminds me of West Ham's colours, so where's the good in that?? [/quote] Think I agree with you on this one Mark. Although I'm not sure you are one for humble opinions

School assembly in 1973 and I think it was either Let it Be or Cecilia. My mate lent me his 72 Fender Jazz for the performance.

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1406385946' post='2511089'] The scales back up results I've had before. Thwe Squier Bitsa is my main gigging bass because it weighs nothing. The perfectly normal weight Fender now seems MUCH too heavy! Try a current VM Precision. the6y weigh nothing at all! In fact, I may have to go the route of Hipshot Ultalite tuners eventually, because it's not as well balanced as it could be. [/quote] My apologies, I take it all back, it was a good purchase

That's better.. A worthwhile rescue, good man.

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1406368713' post='2510920'] For no particular reason other than curiosity...and a new set of scales! Cheapie off ebay, but seems pretty good. If you looked for similar, they're the ones with a smiley face! Fender Kingman acoustic ---- 6.5lb Squier Bitsa Precision -------- 6.8lb Warwick 'The Alien' 4 --------- 7.1lb Squier VM P TB --------------- 8.7lb Fender MIM P Bitsa ---------- 8.8lb [/quote] That seems light for those particular models Telebass, maybe those cheapie scales are cheap for a reason

Great thread Rob. The Yes Album Dark Side of the Moon. What were once Vices are now Habits. Doobie Brothers. The Kick Inside. Kate Bush. Rocking the Filmore. Humble Pie. Some Fantastic Place. Squeeze. Argus. Wishbone Ash.

Hope it all goes well. Did two dep gigs in one day a few weeks back. Adrenaline provided the fuel but I was totally exhausted the following day and for a few days after that

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1406185320' post='2509050'] The Hercules hanger holding my precision decided to detach itself from the wall suddenly last night, damaging the bass as it smashed into the floor. That was fixed into brick with screws & plugs - f*** knows how it came away. Won't be using wall hangers anymore. [/quote] Off to check my fixings now Hope your bass is ok and not too seriously dinged.

A few years back I had virtually the same set up but mine was the 12 band. Loved it and would still have it if my back was in better shape.
