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.

Might be worth at least getting someone in the know to take a look at your TC. I know there is a well respected amp repair man in Essex, just can't recall his name at the mo.

A few days rest from playing if possible. I've had to do the same over the last week for the same reason.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1405774471' post='2505138'] In what way is my post arrogant? Pat Badger probably isn't very well known on here, that's all. And as for posting a clip, the OP doesn't have to do anything but if he had I imagine he would have received a more positive response. Not everyone feels inclined to go search the internet on a whim but if an example is given I know I myself would have a listen and help the OP if I could. No 'arrogance' there at all, genuinely trying to help the OP. [/quote] I don't think many of us would have thought your reply to be arrogant.

Not for me

Went to see her a few year back at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, a very enjoyable gig

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1404992757' post='2497627'] This then got me thinking about when, at a pro-gig, the guitarists (mainly) have a new guitar handed to them for each track. I guess this is because each track demands different tuning. So much for fans living under the illusion that [i]*insert name of well-know guitarist*[/i] is a brilliant musician. It's clearly mostly smoke and mirrors. [/quote] Not necessarily Rich, I know a couple of guitarists, one in particular, who plays superbly well but hasn't a clue as to what key he is playing in, or even the name of the chord. But can work out a tune from just a quick listen.
