  1. I had to learn this one recently. Haven't got my bass to hand at the mo but I think on the A chord I play the root then 4th 3rd 2nd (A, D, Csharp, . Hope that makes some sense. It's a good fun number to play and seems to go down quite well in the pubs.
  2. There are a number of different gauges of fret wire. Can't imagine the gauge would cause you pain and suffering but who knows. More likely to be the neck dimensions I would imagine. For example: these days a jazz bass is very uncomfortable for me to play, whereas the chunkier neck of my P basses are just fine. If possible get yourself to a shop with a decent stock and test drive a few.
  3. Thanks Nige. Yes it was great to see her with the band. She enjoyed but was exhausted by the end of first set. It's her birthday today, so a good weekend all in all.
  4. Good luck with the sale. Sorry you are having to do it, what a git, thought I recalled that the RA had improved for you in recent times. Best wishes.
  5. Indeed, especially when it's only a mile from home
  6. 17 Watts by Mo Foster is a fine read. + 1 for Guy Pratt
  7. Thanks. It went very well, with an enthusiastic audience and another booking.

    gone!

    I've got one of these Jap necks of the same sort of vintage, on my 58 bitsa. It's a truly lovely neck and far superior to a few of the USA ones that I've encountered.
  9. Tonight 9 pm kick off I'm on the subs bench and probably playing the second set and encore, if we get one!
  10. [i]Crackin' pair of tunes Clarky. Good work.[/i] [i]I'll hook the puter up to my hi fi tomorrow, so that I can hear it properly.[/i]
  11. [quote name='Netballman' timestamp='1323344660' post='1462170'] If it falls though can I be next in line please! [/quote] pm'd
  12. [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1323279920' post='1461574'] Don't suppose you'd want to swap them for two Wizard 84 neck pick ups ? One in perfect condition, but one needs repairing. [/quote] Thanks Redstriper but think I'll give it a miss.
  13. Have a good 'un Nige. Gigging myself this weekend so won't be able to get there. Haven't been in The Silver Bullet since the late 70's, didn't realise it was now a music venue.
  14. Just did a search but can't find it now. You could try asking here [url="http://www.bassesbyleo.com/forum/index.php"]http://www.bassesbyleo.com/forum/index.php[/url]
  15. I'm sure I saw one of these bridges on ebay at the weekend. It may have been in the states, not sure but try a search.
  16. Dont know anything about this band or its personel but really like the music, got two of their albums on my i pod. Can't think of the track name but the one I really like is very much in the style of the Faces.
  17. Continuing with the Slade theme, have been running through Merry Christmas Everybody, in readiness for Friday nights depp with my daughters band.
