Got to say they are very good.

Looking lush

I'm having yet another sofa and hot water bottle day. Typical really, I've not had a gig for what seems like ages, then two come up this weekend and I can't do them.

Pm'd you, thanks Rick. Gary

My daughter has a GSR200 (Ithink thats the model) that she found on ebay for about £100 with a decent hardcase. Got to say it's impressive especially after I gave it a decent set up. I went to see her play at an all dayer a few weeks back. There were a whole load of bands on playing a few numbers each. Nearly every other bass player was using a P bass and the sound was muddy and horrible. Her Ibanez cut through and each note could be heard and sat very nicely in the mix. It was an eye opener for me and I love P basses.

How about something from Yes? Most of Chris Squire's lines are an interesting challenge. Long Distance Runaround springs to mind. Something a bit heavier? Easy Livin' by Uriah Heep. Save a Prayer by Duran Duran for something interesting but more mellow.

Don't know if I'll be up for it, I injured my back on monday and have been stuck on the settee ever since. I had some physio last night which has helped but unless it improves a fair bit overnight it's not likely. Certainly won't be able to lift my rig, is there likely to be a rig there that I could use? I have a di pedal so could go via p.a if that;s feasable.

Some very pleasing instruments there and love the rig

This must be the gig that Steve from the support band wants me to play at. So we might get to meet.

What a spectacularly excellent find. Hope I do as well when my Vintage P bass search reaches a conclusion. So will you gig them or are they to be admired and kept safe and sound indoors?

I love this new invisible finish

That looks so good. Is there a build diary thread? I'm off to have a look

Thanks for posting, very interesting.

Good man. Did you take the new amp and frighten them all?

Received thanks. Will pass it on to Acidbass when I'm done.

That looks like a serious bit of kit Wayne. No lightweight wimpy gear for you

I have always removed the pickguard on mine. Some prefer to just loosen the neck screws enough to tilt the neck slightly.

Chuffed for you, well done. Not my neck of the woods so won't be dropping in just yet.

I'm not even going to look. No further GAS will be tolerated in this household, I've been warned.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' post='1272751' date='Jun 17 2011, 01:57 PM']Can I be the first to complain about BGM. my July edition has just arrived, 13 days early.........![/quote] Same here, totally outrageous. And featuring our very own Burritobass.

I remember going to see Humble Pie back in the seventies when this was in their set. They were a class live act, never quite the same on record but just great to see live. Don't know the version you are talking about but will check it out.

Nice job Tom, looks great. Headstock turned out well with the decal and lacquering.

OBBM for me too, top quality.
