A pleasure to see you back here again and well said. Always enjoy your posts though.

Looking good John but let us see the rest of it.

The Chequers, Old Harlow, Essex. Packed up following last nights gig, feeling really deflated and miserable . Not that we played badly, mostly it was pretty good, but on the whole a very uninterested audience.

I've been enjoying some of his playing lately, have had to learn Jail Break, Rosalie and Don't Believe a Word for the band that I've recently joined.

Bet that it will be lovely, will look forward to seeing some pics. And lovely that everytime you look at it you can think of your ma.

Nice one Dave, it looks very rock n roll

So glad to hear it Dave, that is excellent. Glad to hear your recovery is still improving.

That looks mighty fine John. Glad it was a happy ending.

Another good bit of work from Howard. Hassle free transaction and super fast.

Seems a bit strange that he told you a new pre amp wouold be a cheaper fix than a new pot. If you are confident with the soldering have a go. A new pot is a low cost item really. It will give you a chance to have a good tidy up and sort out the dodgy soldering already present.

I do the same GW and feel so much better for having now come out about it

What a spectacular transformation, looks totally lovely.

Was going to post something but all of a sudden there seems so little point.

That's the type of shopping trip that I could enjoy, as opposed to being dragged around countless clothes shops by the good wife. Thunderbird looks so rock n roll.

Sorry John, can't remember and I haven't got the bass to hand at the moment. I can borrow it from my daughter at some point to check but not for a day or so.

I purchased one off of them for my recent p bass bitsa. The quality is good enough for the price and delivery was prompt. Mine was not going on a mex though so can't help you with that aspect. I had to drill a couple of fresh holes. The fit was all good around the pups, controls and neck plate. All in all I was happy with the purchase.

I've only very recently had my first experience with flats. My latest purchase, a 75 P bass is strung with them, don't know what make but they have a blue winding. I love the smoothness and feel under the fingers, can't comment on the sound as I haven't gigged it yet.

Yes I had that one on my watch list. looks good. Report back to us once to get your hands on it. hope it's a good un.

Oooh that is So lovely.

Chris, I can thoroughly recommend a trip to Antigua. For the sake of research it is essential to immerse yourself in to the whole vibe. Skin up a large doobie and chill mon. Maybe we ought to arrange a Carribean Bass Bash out there. So many advantages, not least that no one would feel the need to slap

Stash your cash until the GAS returns, you know it's never all that far away
