  1. It's hard graft but yes, it can be done. You might be disappointed if it's not an attractive piece(s) of timber under that finish though.
  2. [quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1458718981' post='3010059'] silly question, but is that normal chrome, or black chrome effect, kinda hard to tell with these old eyes! [/quote] It's not your eyes, just not the best of photos. It is a normal chrome one.
  3. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1458503598' post='3008165'] Hey, I wished you 'Many Happy Returns'! After you told me it was your birthday... [/quote] You did and it made me feel very special Anyway time for another bump.
  4. Not a gig but yesterday DefunkT auditioned for the Ware in Herts, Rock in the Priory festival. I actually felt nervous Considering that we hadn't gigged since New Year's Eve, we did good Don't know if it was good enough though.
  5. That's good of them, it all goes towards making it a really enjoyable day. Well done Mick. Drop me a pm if you want any help with this years event.
  6. [quote name='pmjos' timestamp='1458545732' post='3008362'] I'm nervous about showing this because its such an iconic line but its my effort. I think I have the basic techniques there well enough. Not trying to make excuses but obviously there are fluffs and my timing isn't properly solid again yet following a decade off bass. I'm working hard to get back. On a good day I can pull it off cleanly - this wasn't one of them as you can see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Gufm4vx-I [/quote] pretty impressive effort I would say, no need to feel nervous about showing us that.
  7. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1458513138' post='3008289'] Especially as the ratio of deluded time-wasters to deluded time-wasters who are undiscovered geniuses is very high. [/quote]
  8. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1458390497' post='3007176'] Somebody mention birthday bumps? [/quote] Thanks Karl It went unnoticed on BC but that's fine I had a fine old day.
  9. You certainly need patience, perseverance and the ability to recognise the delusional
  10. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1458388819' post='3007153'] Corrr! What are the pickups? [/quote] They are G&L SB1's Magnetic Field Design. Very powerful pups.
  11. No worries, I was just being a bit of an anorak
  12. Rich maybe you should be a sad loser like me and have a spread sheet on Excell, that details all your bass specifications, service dates and string changes etc.
  13. Like it, looks great How do those pups compare to Fender ones?
  14. Handsome looking bass and it looks so right stood in front of that Marshall rig
  15. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1458167156' post='3005347'] Gary, for God's sake [/quote] Sorry Karl. Nice innit [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1458241407' post='3005969'] The '5' isn't the day of the month, it's a product code... 5 = Precision Bass, 6 = Bass VI and 7 = Jazz Bass. [/quote] Thanks for taking the time to explain the numbering Discreet.
  16. I've finally sorted a very irritating buzzing when playing the E string. It was a real mystery and had me checking screws, springs, bridge, tuners, truss rod etc. Turned out to be a duff Rotosound E string Problem solved with a set of DR Highbeams that I had in my box.
  17. Looks great. Love that look
  18. A bump to celebrate over five years of advertising this rather lovely little amp
