  1. Welcome. Good first post but too early in the day for me to formulate any sort of answer. The most I can come up with at the moment is, my G&L is very loud
  2. We are playing a pub gig tonight. It was fairly hectic last time we played there, drunken herberts falling over the monitors and crashing into our space. Guess it will be even worse tonight. A night to be using one of my more roadworn instruments I think. Thanks for the warning Doc
  3. I'm listening and playing along to this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhDUuEWgMcA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhDUuEWgMcA[/url] Mrs Mac is out and I'm enjoying an afternoon of Yes and a bit of Ozric
  4. I think the DR's sound nice 'n' growly, they are the ones you've heard at DefunkT gigs on my G&L SB1.
  5. You'll just make space for the next batch, when the GAS strikes later in the year
  6. I love the sound of flats on my P basses when playing along to northern soul and motown, at home and yet when playing with the band I much prefer DR Highbeam rounds.
  7. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1387541014' post='2313085'] Yours is exactly what I had in mind looks wise when I was telling BD what I wanted. [/quote] Mine is here and waiting for you. Go on, you're worth it
  8. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1387403736' post='2311689'] It's like the real version of what I asked the bass doc to build, Grangur has seen the bass doc version at my house; this is what I had in mind when specifying it. But more reliced of course [/quote] Yes, my one certainly wouldn't be classed as roadworn. Did the Doc do the relicing on yours?
  9. Indeed Clarky. Used it at a rehearsal the other night and it seemed very fitting when we played Brick in the Wall.
  10. Looking good, did you do the customising
  11. I internalized it mate Typical of me, seething inside but didn't say a word.
  12. So what have you got to show for you debt then?
  13. [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1387457085' post='2312140'] Ooh, tasty! Love that track, in fact, off to play it on vinyl NOW!! [/quote] A bit more challenging than Wizard, I'm guessing
  14. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1387054755' post='2307889'] OMFG that 74 is gorgeous Gary and it has the perfect colour and neck combination .......stunning mate [/quote] Thanks Thunderbird, I'm really enjoying it.
  15. Spent a lot of monday playing along to Wizards Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday. I don't like chrimbo songs but we were due to rehearse it on monday evening. After having suffered for my art and played it probably a dozen times and getting it nailed, Upon setting up at the studio, our BL says, "Don't think we'll bother with the Wizard one"
  16. My recently acquired 74. I did post this up in the P bass thread but it belongs here as well. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/11357465273/][/url]
  17. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1387133982' post='2308547'] It really would - but I don't deserve it. I've been a bad boy this year. you still deserve a treat Mark [/quote][quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1387133878' post='2308544'] It isn't. No way. Actually it's awful. I'm saving you from yourself really. In fact I've gone round Gary's a couple of times and I'm working on getting it road-worn. But it's a slow job. It's going to take a long time. Give me a few years ad we might just get there. [/quote]
  18. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1387236994' post='2309857'] I was totally unaware that there were supposed to be any shielding issues. [/quote] Same here. I've had my one from new, back in the 90's and no issues at all.
  19. Thanks Chris. I know that black is not the most popular finish but this does look damn fine and the neck/fretboard is just lovely. The covers will be coming off though, love the look but as I mostly play with a pick, they need to go.
  20. Have fun Shell We shall be playing it next weekend, along with Wizard.
  21. I dont know what clearance is required on that bass, try a google search
  22. 5p coin for a saddle, well that's a first. so assuming your action and relief are correct, is everything good at the nut?
