made my toes curl reading your tale of woe. Wish you well matey.

Looks good in the new colour. I've seen this bass somewhere recently but can't think where, here or ebay I guess. so what now then Luke, keep as it is or another respray?

Nice score, really like the look of that.

Not sure what to say really. If it works for you, then great. If you are stressing, then downsize, unless you really need that size of rig for the venues you are playing. Personally I'm happy with a little class D amp, a couple of mark bass cabs and a P bass. Works for my pub gigs and occassional wedding/function type. Never found my set up to be under powered or lacking and no more back ache, so its all good.

Good man to deal with, bought my mark bass cab. Paid when he said he would and all went smoothly. I would happily trade with Alec again.

Got to agree, she does indeed look a beauty.

Sadly I've been around far too long then, picked up a bass in 1973

I do this number with the current band. Took me awhile to get to grips with it but persevered mostly by ear. Have to admit that although I don;t like resorting to the tab sites, I did because I had to learn a whole set list a bit sharpish. If no one comes along to help, let me know and I will attempt to tab it for you.

Having just purchased some strap locks from Paul, thought I ought to start a feedback thread for him. decent price, good communication and rapid delivery, just the way it should be. Happy to say, recommended

Like JTUK I wouldn't normally be one to advocate resigning by email, however, earlier this year I did just that. My reason at the time was that, we had already had many band discussions covering all the usual issues: volume, song choice, timing etc. It became increasingly obvious that speaking was a waste of time, as nothing seemed to get resolved. The final straw for me was after selecting and agreeing on three songs each to add to the set list. At the next rehearsal the singer had learnt his three. The guitarist had learnt none. I had learnt all of them. As talking seemed to be a waste of time, the following day I resigned by email. In conclusion: If you suspect you are wasting your time, resign by whatever method will get through to them

That's a depressingly expense mistake you made there. Have really got any advice but wanted to express some sympathy Assuming they have made the correct diagnosis, I guess some research might be worthwhile, to find the cost of the module and then you would be in a position to get quotes to have it installed by someone else.

Also meant to say, welcome.

If you are trying to sell this, it needs a price and moving to the correct forum.

Excellent news, good man

You absolutely need to know the key. Hopefully your guitarist will be able to give you the right info but bear in mind that the first chord of a song isn't necessarily the key. Good luck and enjoy

[quote name='throwoff' timestamp='1352298268' post='1861230'] When the world ends and all the Fenders and Musicmans are gone. Rickenbackers are but burnt shadows on the ruined stages of old theatres. Gibson is just a word and Lakland is a legendary place where no man has trod. The few surviving bass players will hike across the land and sail the brown polluted seas to find M Fillips. And to buy one of his legendary instruments. [/quote]

What a pain for you and the bass. Hope you get it back Karl, thanks for the heads up

Very nice Dave and properly roadworn

Got to love bass chat and some of the splendid peeps inhabiting it Big well done to John for the pro job and Ped for posting this thread. Happy days.

All good Molan. There should be one for auditionees as well. We auditioned three guitarists last night. Two of them have been immediately dismissed from our list, mostly down to volume, attitude and lack of finesse. Just playing at volume and overplaying the whole time.
