[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='1151788' date='Mar 6 2011, 07:23 PM']At the end of a cracker at The Hop , Wakefield I laid my Blueflower 54P reish on top of my rak bag as I always do and went back to the front of the stage to soak the glory up etc............. caught my foot in the lead - bass fell from about 5ft onto a combination of wooden stage and metal railing. Result......... not a scratch. Nothing. Didn't even go out of tune.[/quote] I was cringing reading this waiting for the details of damage. Glad it was a happy ending.

Still not had my strings either. I will be chasing them up, but cheesed off that I need to.

Nice one Burrito and a lovely collection. Here's my '58 bitsa, although it has also appeared in the precisions thread. [attachment=74030:complete12.JPG][attachment=74029:complete2.JPG]

What a let down. There are varying degrees of migraine though and if the singer suffers with the serious variety then he deserves sympathy. Migraine has been given a bad name by people calling a bad headache a migraine, much like people with a cold, claiming that they have the flu.

Good for you, wishing you luck.

That's handsome Clarky, are you planning to gig it?

Seen a few on ebay in recent weeks, but the price has really gone up of late. Couple of years back I got one for thirty quid but that's not likely now. Over £100 new when I've seen them. I like them but wouldn't dream of paying that sort of money. Think I would be going for a gotoh or the new fender high mass bridge. Gotoh seem to go for around £30 on ebay.

Impressive Steve, that looks really good.

Best of luck matey. Do something different for a few days if you have the time/inclination, then come back and find yourself a decent band where your talent is appreciated.

I had a chuckle when I spotted this during my daily trawl through ebay. I'm looking for another project, but feel a touch wary of this one.

I thought Bass masta was infested with all sorts of bad stuff, has it been sorted? Personally I wouldn't go near it after what it did to my daughters computer. Guess you're ok if using a mac.

You certainly wouldn't be hiding at the back of the stage with that one.

Nice collection and I actually think the P bass has a certain charm. will look forward to seeing the makeover though. All the best, Gary

Put me next on the list please my good man. All the best, Gary

I recently paid £150-160 (can't recall exactly) for a Jap P bass neck. The one that I got was worth every penny. So if the neck is a good one, then do you think the body and hardware is worth say £180ish? What is the hardware like. Do the pups sound good.

That is loverly, enjoy.

I think he can play perfectly well, he certainly wasn't miming on a recent documentary I watched

Stevie I found this site very useful when I was doing my recent P bass build [url="http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender2.html"]http://home.provide.net/~cfh/fender2.html[/url]

I thought this one was during the period when the line up didn't include John Taylor. Good song though. I have to admit to liking Duran and recently downloaded their new one, which I think is a decent album.

Not the best of locations in my opinion Pete, so I'll be looking elsewhere. But have a bump and best of luck with the sale.

..and now it's going to give Letchworth a bad name.

Don't know Daz, I do know that I can't do it. I find it very tricky talking at the same time as playing.
