That has cheered me up this morning, thanks for posting

I pulled out of a gig last year. We played our first gig at the venue but I refused to return for the next gig the following month. Large ammounts of coke snorting was going on (not by the band), a generally threatening atmsosphere throughout our set and then a number of punch ups towards the end of the night. Even during the pack up I had two drunken herberts crash in to me whilst punching each other and one attempting to glass the other. Decided there and then that I wouldn't be back. The glass could quite easily have been in my face.

That would work ok or do yourself a favour contact Kiogon and get one of his hand built wiring kits, with high quality pots, cable and connector blocks for solder free connecting. I've done three or four p bass builds and used Kiogons kit, It's quality

I was so looking forward to seeing the finished article and it doesn't disappoint. What a total beauty I'm guessing you wont be gigging it down the local boozer. Anyway, congrats. Well done on a good thread and getting such a lovely instrument to cherish.

Yes they are quality. Very nice. I had an early 80's 1200 until a couple of years back. Sold it as it was a little too heavy for me to gig with these days. Do miss it though, although I'm attempting to only keep instruments that I gig with. Anyway, hope you enjoy a long and happy time together

I'm deffo in then. Although sometimes I use my G&L.

Yes, that sounds totally spiffing, very pleasing indeed.

A very pleasing pair.

Thanks Bluejay, great blogging

Sorry don't know the answer but was just listening to Pleasant Valley a couple of days back and thoroughly enjoying the bass line.

A fair few mex p bass and jazzes seem to get around the £300 mark at the mo on ebay. Don't think I would, unless I felt that I could do a decent repair myself and/or spray the headstock to match the body. Does it play well? Is the price negotiable?

Yes I'd be quite happy with that set list. A few of them are in the set that we do, with our girlie singer. We've just been talking about adding the Elbow number.

That has made a splendid start to my day

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362319273' post='1998287'] Ooh, I'm very sorry to hear it, mate. A morale booster that hurts... may you recover quickly. [/quote]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362314717' post='1998205'] You didn't have a... [i]drink, [/i]did you? *Gasp* [/quote] No drinkies Mark, just the M.E. giving me a severe bashing lately. The gigging is a great morale booster but I really pay for it, usually two or three days of being flat out and quite often a migraine thrown in on top of the mix.

Function gig for us last night, a fishing club's end of season annual bash. Fully expected it to be a bit of a dire affair, as we had been told before hand, that there has never been any dancing to any of the bands booked in previous years. Second number in and we had them up and bopping Got paid a bonus and two more bookings. All in all a good night. Paying for it today though, crashed out on the sofa and feeling extremely fuzzy.

I will resist the temptation to slap through the middle of Mustang Sally at the function tonight. ....sigh......... It's a fishing club end of season dinner dance, only we've been told they never dance.

Good post Nige and I thoroughly agree, even though I've been guiltly of not checking out enough of the stuff on here, other than your stuff and Clarky's. Oh and yesterday I did visit the rather excellent vid put up by our Mr. Discreet.

Really like that Mark, excellent work.

[quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1361985837' post='1994086'] I particularly like the sound of your custom P bass. It sounds like the guy who created it is outrageously handsome. [/quote]
