  1. As above, just fitted a set of quarter pounders in my latest project p bass. Haven't actually gigged it yet but sounded good in rehearsal. Will gig it this coming saturday.
  2. Have a splendid Birthday. Hope the new purchase proves to be the cure
  3. Some people can be a right royal pain, particularly if you find it difficult to be rude, which it was what tends to be needed we these thick skinned types. I so prefer being in the company of guitarists who don't think that every song needs a full on solo.
  4. He was discussing this in a recent BGM article
  5. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1355693922' post='1901523'] Yay! But for an apparently simple song, the bass line is surprisingly challenging - if you play Jim Lea's version. [/quote] Not sure I've nailed it note for note Mark but it's certainly quite busy
  6. At next weeks gig we will be finishing the night with the Slade one, went down a storm last year.
  7. Bloody hell Si, do you have a never ending supply of these lovely vintage Fenders?
  8. Ok I'll play but not until next week when my case will be opened for rehearsal.
  9. Not a problem, as it looks ok on guitar
  10. Got to agree with you. Doesn't feel quite the same at the end of the evening, looking at it and thinking "got get all this damned kit packed up, in to the vehicles and then unpacked at the other end and in to the house"
  11. [url="http://www.lhnborn.com/index.htm"]http://www.lhnborn.com/index.htm[/url] there you go, think that's the one.
  12. Think that is his user name, he also has a website. If I can find it i'll put up a link
  13. Try contacting bass chatter Henry norton, he's priced stuff for me before and I would have every faith in using him.
  14. [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1354994379' post='1892834'] My latest P Bass acquisition. It's a Fender Custom Shop 55 P Bass. Typically superb Custom Shop construction and plays wonderfully. [/quote] Ooh that's a cracker Nick.
  15. Might be worth checking Strings Direct, I know they have some makes available in singles.
  16. My latest P Bass. [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/8252687492/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/8252687492/"]037[/url] by [url="http://www.flickr.com/people/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/"]gem5819[/url], on Flickr
  17. [quote name='nickytheafghan' timestamp='1354908559' post='1891985'] Just bought one of these. Yeah. That'l do nicely. [/quote] Like it, enjoy

  19. Nice looking instrument, enjoy.
  20. Good man. I've just put another P bass together and installed quarter pouders that my wife bought for me in New York. It's getting it's first outing at a rehearsal tomorrow night. I'm really looking forward to hearing how it performs.
  21. 1 I like the regular market place. 2 I always leave a donation if I make a sale and would prefer it to stay that way. I guess though that some don't, so I understand the need for a fee. My donations have probably amounted to more than the suggested fee . 3 the bump button would work, although not sure if it's necessary really 4 good idea 5 the seller should be free to give what details they want to. If they don't then it's their problem and the item may not sell or if it does, then may be not for the best price.
  22. I don't own a GB but have joined anyway. Risky strategy though, given the way GAS can strike
  23. [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1354229977' post='1884021'] Fretmeister, I'm sorry to read this aggressive slap at what many people have experienced is true. What you don't understand is that the electrons are diluted till they become unrecognisable, so they work more strongly. Stronger electrons don't need to prove themselves and are less likely to act in an unstable manner. See? best, bert [/quote]
  24. Thanks for that Pete. I'm having a bit of an epic fail at getting any pics attached, so I still can't get involved
